How to Drop the Body Fat
The way to make your body THRIVE is to understand how to crank up your metabolism. Your body stores more fat if you eat less! (Back to survival) and 95% of all diets are about eating less. Our bodies know what to do with less……. it stores more fat and won’t give it up for anything!!!
Here’s the answer… you will have to eat more! Yep, I said it. Eat more. How much more? Here is a good rule of thumb.
Weight x 10 = RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate, which is how many calories you need to stay alive while you are sleeping) to that add 20% more for daily activities. So for me today 233 lbs. x 10 = 2330 calories + 466(20% of 233 lbs.)=2796 calories per day to maintain my current size without a workout. For me this was a huge number! I had been eating less than 1500 calories per day under the old idea that less calories = less weight! Well at nearly 2800 calories I started losing weight. More importantly, I started losing body fat! I lost 5% body fat in 5 weeks!
Some weeks I lost weight and other weeks I lost inches! I discovered a certain flow to my weight and fat loss…. It wasn’t a straight line, meaning it didn’t go down at a consistent 1-3 lbs. per week. So I found I needed to not only weigh myself regularly, but also to check body fat, try on my “tester” clothes, and take measurements. So, be flexible. Identify a success this today or this week! It may not be weight! The reality is, that the bathroom scale is likely not in your top 3 important ways to track your weight and fat loss. I find the top 3 to be
- How I feel
- How I look
- How my clothes fit
In fact, when I lost 5% body fat in those 5 weeks, it occurred to me that I didn’t care if I weighed 300 lbs, if I was lean, toned, cut, had high energy, etc. So identify and set real life goals and don’t get caught up in the images we all see in magazines & TV.
