Fire Your Diet – It’s Your Only Guarantee To Get Ripped Abs

———————————————————————- |

Fire your diet, I’m serious.  Staying on your diet may be the worst decision you could ever make.  Restricting calories is not fun.  Eating foods you don’t like – forget about it.  Nobody wants to live this way, and no one is going to permanently.  Therein lies the problem:

Unless dieting is the way you want to eat everyday for the rest of your life, Stop Dieting Now!

You see, it all comes down to a basic principle of homeostasis, or equilibrium.  Your body seeks homeostasis, no matter which condition you subject it to, in order to be able work as an efficient machine.  The greater the equilibrial state in your body, the less work it has to do to survive.  It’s basic science.

Well, if you restrict calories and your body does less work, isn’t it true that your body will learn to use less calories?  It’s like step aerobics.  Step aerobics help to build bone and prevent osteoporosis, because we place a repeated impact through the long bones of our legs, and they respond by growing to be able to absorb the impact.  Smart body, huh?

If you eat less, your body learns that you don’t need to eat as much to survive, and your stomach will even shrink.  Your reward for dieting, over time, is to gain weight with less food.  For example: 

  Let’s say that you normally eat 2,200 calories a day (great number if you are active!) and you suddenly reduce your caloric intake to 1,600 calories a day to lose weight.  After a period of 4-6 weeks, your body will adapt to this lesser demand and begin to use less energy with movement and function, thereby reducing the caloric cost of your daily activity.  Now, if your body is stabilized around 1,600 calories of work per day, and you consume 1,800 (300 less than your ‘normal’ day’) you will gain weight.  It’s a pretty bad deal, I agree.

On the other hand, if your goal is to be able to consume MORE calories, not less, you have a winning mindset.  This will require increased activity levels and very smart exercise, especially if you don’t want to spend the whole day exercising to get results.  If you want to consume more calories and lose

According to Wolf’s Law:  “Your body will respond to the stresses or demands placed upon it.”

This means the same workout does actually get easier on your body over time and that it doesn’t just ‘feel that way.’  In order to guarantee your body consumes more calories in a given day, works harder to recuperate following a workout, and skyrocket your metabolism, you have to shock your body.  Here is a simple list of exercise categories that should always be changing to get the best results:

••  Reps (6-100)

  Sets (1-5)

  Intensity (4 – 9.5/10)

  Duration (how long you exercise in a given workout – 10-60 minutes)

  Skill level (for example:  unstable surfaces, multidirectional movements, etc.)

  Direction of movement (forward/backward, side to side, rotationally)

  Joint angle (incline, decline, neutral)

  Grip position

  Weight
