Extreme Fitness Tuning and Weight Loss

Many of my clients here in Hollywood struggle with not being able to diet properly to make their belly fat disappear within a specific timeframe for healthy dieting because they either don't like the food I recommend to them for healthy dieting, or they are just plain lazy.

With that being such an increasing problem lately, I thought I would write a full "how-to" article on how to eat like a pig I personally suggest for healthy dieting.

In addition to shredding your belly fat in this healthy dieting 6-minute meal plan, you are finally going to see how YOUR perfectly sculpted abs look once you drop all that nasty fat.

Lets get started. The first thing you need to know about healthy dieting is that your shredded abs are not made in the gym, they are made in your kitchen. Bet you never thought you'd hear that one huh? This is the number one key component to healthy dieting and 6-minute meals.

Now the next you need to know is my formula to healthy dieting and shredded abs.

1. Eat Six Times A Day
2. Follow My 6-Minute Meals If You're Pressed On Time
3. Repeat As Often As Needed To Keep Your Chiseled physique.

Easy, right? As much as I like to be the saint of good news on healthy dieting, It's not as easy as you think.

The reason why it's not easy is because you are about to train yourself to eat like a pig! You have to be eating every 2-3 hours throughout the entire day to blow your metabolism through the roof, which is what rips your fat off your belly. I call this "healthy dieting".

Here is the schedule in which you should be eating:

8 a.m. Breakfast
11 a.m. Snack
1 p.m. Dinner
4 p.m. Snack
6 p.m. Dinner
9 p.m. Snack

Now that you know how often you should be eating and why, you can begin training your body to eat like a pig so you can be well on your way to revealing those sculpted abs from your kitchen and not the gym.

As for what to eat, I will be writing up a very detailed article on that as a "healthy dieting blueprint" to compliment this eating schedule perfectly.

You have the right to remain fat. Or skinny. Or weak. But you should know that every workout you miss can and will be used against you to make your belly bigger, your muscles smaller and weaker, and your life shorter. Unfortunately, most Americans are exercising their right not to exercise.

A recent study by the National Center for Health Statistics found that only 19 percent of the population regularly engages in "high levels of physical activity." (That's defined as three intense 20-minute workouts per week.)

Another 63 percent -- about the same percentage as that of Americans who are overweight -- believe that exercising would make them healthier, leaner, and less stressed, but they don't do it. At the root of this problem is motivation, or the lack thereof.

It's the difference between wanting to exercise and actually doing it. That's why the advice you're about to read is priceless. We've filled these pages with the favorite motivational strategies of the top personal trainers in the country. Their livelihoods, in fact, depend on the effectiveness of their tips to inspire their clients to exercise -- and to stick with it. After all, statistics don't pay by the hour.

1. Sign up for a distant race
That is, one that's at least 500 miles away. The extra incentive of paying for airfare and a hotel room will add to your motivation to follow your training plan, says Carolyn Ross-Toren, chairwoman of the Mayor's Fitness Council in San Antonio.

2. Make a 'friendly' bet
Challenge your nemesis -- that idea-stealing coworker or a non-mowing neighbor -- to a contest. The first guy to drop 15 pounds, run a 6-minute mile, or bench- press 250 pounds wins. The key: "Make sure it's someone you don't particularly like," says Michael Mejia, C.S.C.S., Men's Health exercise advisor. (It's okay if your rival thinks you're best friends.)

3. Tie exercise to your health
Check your cholesterol. Then set a goal of lowering your LDL cholesterol by 20 points and increasing your HDL cholesterol by 5 points. "You'll decrease your risk of heart disease while providing yourself with a very important, concrete goal," says John Thyfault, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., an exercise researcher at East Carolina University. Ask your doctor to write a prescription for new blood work in a month. You'll just have to go to the lab, and the doctor will call you with the results.

4. Switch your training partners
Working out with a partner who will hold you accountable for showing up, and putting out! Having a partner that will push you, and wants to be pushed back, is invaluable in the gym. If a partner slacks off, you'll slack off. So, be sure that you're working out with the right person!

5. Switch it up and keep it interesting
Nothing slows down your progress or dampens your spirit like boring repetition. By switching up your routine every now and then, you keep yourself mentally engaged, as well as see a significant physical benefit from challenging your body in different ways.

6. Reward yourself!
It may sound silly, but you'd be surprised about how effective a little personal reward can be towards your motivation levels. When you set your goal, you break up the distance between your current level and your goal level. As you surpass each point, you can reward yourself with a special treat... such as a special dessert, or a special night out where you splurge for your meal.

7. Track your progress
If you don't track your progress, you won't see any! Sounds like common sense to some people, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't track their body measurements or body fat levels, or only track their weight, and give up because they think that they're not making progress when they are! (FYI - muscle weighs more than fat!)

8. Use caffeine prior to or during your workout
There is a great deal of controversy with the use of caffeine prior to or during a workout. However, I can tell you now that caffeine can be your best friend when you are already fatigued due to a long day at work, and you are lacking the energy to exercise. Be sure that the amount of caffeine is moderate for you, each person is different so this will take some testing on your part, and drink plenty of fluids during and after exercising. (There are tons of workout drinks available on BodyBuilding.com)

9. Talk to people!
Believe it or not, having healthy conversations with gym personnel and other gym members can really help you to frequent the gym more often. The psychological benefit of having relationships with people within the gym allows it to feel like a friendly atmosphere, and associates positive feelings and emotions when you're there.

10. Have a plan!
Again... this may be common sense to some of you. However, there are plenty of people that just go to the gym and "wing it". Instead, build a workout routine for that week during the weekend. Map out what body parts you are working on which days, and which days are your off days. Of course you can switch gym days and off days if something pops up, but at least you know exactly what you're doing the minute that you walk into the door. It will enable you to have a shorter workout period, and ensure that exercising doesn't impact the rest of your schedule as much. Plus, there is no frustration with trying to figure out what you want to do. Plan out your exercises as well, so that you can keep track of what exercises you've done in prior weeks in case you want to "switch it up"!
