What You Should Expect in Fat Loss – Part 2 Over Training
By Leigh Peel http://www.fatlosstroubleshoot.com So in the last section (Fat Loss Effects Part 1) we talked about how even in the healthy part of fat loss you don’t feel so sun shiny great. Now we are going to talk about what happens when you take this effect to another level or allow it to go on for too long. Some clients have come to me having been in on a diet in one form or another for the majority of their life. They have had short bouts of breaks but for the most part, life for them has been a never ending bulk and a cut cycle, now whether or not during the heavy eating they were lifting that’s another story. Still though that "feed and don’t feed" pattern is ingrained into their natural habit and activity. Combine this with training and we receive a ticket to overtraining. Now before I dive right in yes, I am mixing, this is not a conversation about overtraining meaning I am assuming training. Note that most of the following problems can occur by eating a low caloric diet for too long if you aren’t training AND some of these problems can present themselves if you aren’t taking good training rest even if your feeding is on point. Good? Moving on. If you don’t feed your body well enough for an extended period of time what do you think is going to happen. What if you decided to drive your car with little to no oil day after day after day? Stuff would start wearing down wouldn’t it, wouldn’t be functioning right. The concept is really pretty simple people, drive hard, fuel hard. CAN’T CHEAT THE BODY. Go ahead though, defy the law, here is what to look for if you do. * Sudden inability to complete workouts In short you don’t feel so hot and why should you, your running on empty over and over again. Did I mention how horrible for fat loss this is? So what is the best method to assure yourself that you are training for fat loss, but not burning yourself out? How do we gauge the middle ground that leads us to the ultimate goal we have?
