With the winter about to come to a close and spring hot on its heels we have entered that time of the year when most fitness-minded individuals focus their goals from maximum mass gains to frenzied fat loss. And of course, this makes sense because when the temperatures begin to increase, the amount of clothes that cover our bodies tends to decrease.

Hopefully, you were “smart” during the winter months and did not allow an overabundance of fat to cover your growing muscles,

as this makes the “Ripped Physique” process all the more difficult. Remember the famous saying, “You can’t flex fat?” Well, that is actually a very true statement – and one that each of us should take very seriously, especially those who are involved in sports and/or physique competitions.

We ate going to present to you,

a very basic and efficacious diet and supplement strategy

for incinerating body fat that will have almost immediate positive effects on the look of your body. However, as mentioned above, it will depend on how much additional fat you accumulated in the winter months and what the “end game goal” is as to how soon you should commence this program. But like I tell all of my clients – the sooner the better.

It is very effective to eat smaller, more frequent meals every 2-3 waking hours, rather than consuming a few larger meals per day. This tends to decrease hunger, stabilize blood sugar, optimize digestion of nutrients and raise metabolic rate.

It usually works best to consume approximately 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lb. of bodyweight each day, spreading the total amount of protein evenly amongst meals. Protein has the greatest thermic effect, meaning it burns calories simply digesting and processing it. Additionally, protein will help spare muscle tissue.

The highest calorie feedings (and the only containing carbohydrates) will be at breakfast and the post workout meal. It is at these two meals that the body is metabolically set-up to optimally use the carbohydrates/calories for muscle glycogen storage, which is essential for intense workouts.

All meals that do not contain carbs will consist of protein, fats (mostly from sources that are high in essential fatty acids) and vegetables. When fats are the only energy source supplied at a meal, they will not be stored in adipose tissue and rather be used for all health, hormonal production, etc.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day as this will assist with proper digestion and nutrient uptake, keep muscles full and hydrated, burn calories, and increase the process of lipolysis.

While there is no such thing as a “magic fat-burning food,” it is essential to create a diet that is built around complete proteins, high fibre carbohydrates and vegetables, some fruits, and heathy fats. The list below includes some of the best foods to utilize when the goal is to melt off body fat and maintain the muscle tissue you worked so hard to build.

None of these foods are required,

but only meant as viable options for a successful dietary fat-loss strategy for a Ripped Physique.

It is best to try and use some variety in your food choices as this allows for a more complete pool of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibres to be readily available in your system, which can improve not only results, but also your overall health/fitness.

• Proteins: lean ground beef, lean ground turkey, turkey breast, chicken breast, lean cuts of steak, egg whites, game meats, white fish, salmon, tuna fish, non-fat cottage cheese, whey and casein protein powders.
• Carbohydrates: brown rice, white rice, sweet potato, white potato, whole grain bread, oatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice, quinoa, rice cakes, pasta, engineered carb powder, and fruits.
• Vegetables: all green and colored types.
• Fats: walnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, macadamias, nut butters, avocado, olive oil, fish oil, flax oil coconut oil, MCT oil and ghee butter.

Without a doubt, you must have a well thought out dietary regimen solidly in place before worrying what supplements to take. However, when your meal plan is on point, adding the right supplements is like connecting a twin turbocharger onto an already powerful engine!

So, if you are looking for top speed fat loss, here are my top ALLMAX supplement suggestions.

ALLMAX MCT OIL: This is a special form of fat that is rapidly turned into energy that your body can effectively use to fuel workouts, without turning to more carbohydrates. MCT oil has also been shown to boost metabolism and coax the body into using more fats for energy production.

ALLMAX AMINOCORE: Loaded with over 8 grams of the highest quality BCAA’s per serving, AMINCORE can help to maintain hard-earned lean muscle when on a reduced calorie/carb diet. BCAA’s have been shown to improve recovery, augment protein synthesis, reduce protein breakdown, increase energy while training and boost fat loss.

ALLMAX IMPACT IGNITER: No pre-workout on the market will help increase your energy, drive and focus more than this product. While it can sometimes be quite a chore to get in an effective workout while on a strict, fat-loss diet, this will never be an issue after taking a serving of IMPACT IGNITER.

ALLMAX KETO CUTS: Contains BHB ketones, which when combined with MCT’s can greatly increase one’s energy, stamina and endurance by providing fuel for muscular action and reducing lactate (which can reduce training output when too high).

ALLMAX VITASTACK: The most comprehensive vitamin/mineral/antioxidant blend in the industry, which will make sure all of your body’s micronutrient needs are met during phases when calories and food intake have been reduced to facilitate rapid body fat reduction.

ALLMAX RAPIDCUTS SHREDDED: This is the most potent fat burning product that ALLMAX has ever produced. Its research backed ingredients targets fat loss via a multi-pronged attack, which will help you to burn more calories, boost your metabolism, liberate fat from cells, and optimize your hormonal profile towards fat incineration.

ALLMAX LIQUID L-CARNITINE: An excellent addition to any fat loss regimen, ALLMAX’s Liquid L-Carnitine will force the body to increase its reliance on fat as an energy source, especially when exercising. Not only will this enhance energy for better workouts but will also make every session a more powerful fat-burning experience.
