Super simple (and controversial) fat loss tip…

May 18, 2010

…skip breakfast.

(Hey you guys here is one of my favorite tips from a friend of mine, Adam over at Body Weight Coach. I use this to keep that body fat burning. Use it and see what you think. -Darrin)

I bet you’re thinking I’m crazy. Right?

How many times have we been told that breakfast is the most
important meal of the day?

But here’s the simple truth: you’re either burning fat or you’re
storing it. There’s no in between. And the most efficient time for
fat burning is in the fasted state. So why not prolong that state
through to the noon hour?

“Well Adam, the reason you shouldn’t do that is because your
metabolism will slow down.” That’s what you’ve heard right?

Wrong…

Even after 72 hours of fasting there’s no noticeable effect on
metabolism. That’s right, even after three days of fasting your
body does NOT start to down regulate your fat burning furnaces. So
I don’t think skipping breakfast is going to hurt.

“OK, but I’ll lose all my muscle mass won’t I?”

Nope…

Not at all. In fact, if you are using resistance training
(bodyweight counts), you can actually GAIN muscle quite
effectively. Especially if you concentrate certain types of
calories around your workouts.

“Yeah, but what about all those studies saying that people who eat
breakfast do a better job of losing weight or maintaining their
weight loss?”

Not so “fast”…

You have to understand that those findings are not necessarily
CAUSAL. Often, people who skip breakfast are the types to grab a
doughnut and coffee at 10:30 in lieu of breakfast. But breaking your
fast at noon with a big salad and homemade vinaigrette is hardly
the same thing!

So there you go. One simple tip to extend your fasted state and
keep burning fat for hours longer than usual. And if you can add a
strategic and well planned workout in there, you’ll multiply your
results even more.

Cheers,
Adam

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
