Bodybuilders & extreme fat loss
Extreme Fat Loss is possible with the correct techniques
It does seem that bodybuilders have learned the best techniques for losing fat. In the bodybuilding magazines we often see pictures of hulking men who look as if they’ve been hand sculpted from granite. They look so impressive it makes many wonder what's the secret to staying in such great shape?
Well, the most important secret is to actually take action on what many of us already know. We constantly hear what we should be doing in order to control weight but many people don’t put that knowledge into action properly. Losing body fat is achieved with a balance of the correct exercise for each body type and sensible, gradual nutrition. As you probably already know sensible nutrition means selecting foods that are healthy, natural and nutritious. Foods that are generally low in calories, low in refined sugar and low in sodium.
Part of the secret to fat loss is to introduce this sensible nutrition in a gradual process rather than switch to it overnight. There needs to be control of energy intake so the body still receives adequate nutrition so not to affect the metabolism but also so calories are reduced gently enabling the body to burn fat effectively. Remember fat stores cannot be burned within days yet many people look for a program that causes extreme weight loss. If we lose weight the correct way chances are it'll make weight control easier in the future.
I would estimate that extreme fat loss, reaching fat levels of less than 8 percent, is achieved with a 75% diet and 25% exercise split. Don’t get me wrong exercise is crucial and in most cases more important then diet but for stripping the fat percentage right down the diet has much more impact. It requires expert dietary principles often used by today’s natural bodybuilders. Many use a peaking process combining every single training and dietary tactic known. Every minor dietary trick is used to help switch the body into fat burning mode. As timing is also important these principles must also be introduced at the right time. To emphasize how crucial diet is remember that bodybuilders cannot stay in that extreme cut-up condition for very long, usually only a few weeks at most. Yes, they can and often do stay in great shape all year round however humans are not designed to have such a low body fat percentage so extreme fat loss should really not be the goal of the dieter. The goal should be to use similar techniques until you obtain a reasonable fat loss.
