Living Lean: A Fat Burning Model For Success

“Some people are born with the propensity to become fatter than others. There are naturally skinny ectomorphs and naturally fatter endormorphs.  Some individuals are given more fat cells by heredity, some fewer. But the set point is affected by environment and behavior as well as heredity. You can vary your set point considerably depending on what and how you eat, as well as what kind and how much exercise you do.” Neal Spruce

One of the biggest secrets of permanent fat loss is to develop the ability to recognize and understand the uniqueness of your Human physiology and adjust your nutrition and training accordingly instead of blindly following someone else success model.  You can look at a healthy family member or friend who is built with a similar frame and follow their healthy diet and workout regimen for success.

As a part of individuality, people differ widely in their inherited tendencies to accumulate body fat and are born with a certain amount of body fat stores.  In the world of bodybuilding and fitness, there are genetically gifted people who seem to just “touch” the weights and their muscles grow, or just do 20 minutes of cardio and lose a ton of body fat. (These are usually the same people who eat Kentucky Fried Chicken every day and have ripped abs!)


These are the basic principle to eating and living a healthier life thru DIET and EXERCISE!

1. Eating fewer calories than you burn. meaning you need to write down what you are taking in and the portion sizes.

2. Properly balancing your macronutrient ratios (example: 60% Carbs and Veggies, 30%Protein, 10% Fats

3. Eating five or six meals per day, properly TIMED!! Meaning you should follow this model eating when your most active and not within 3 hours of bedtime you should be going to bed at night on a empty stomach to start the fat burning process.

4. Eating lean proteins with every meal. This method is derived to control hunger so that we do not binge on a huge meal and ruin the daily intake.  The amino acids in protein are building blocks for metabolism function in the body and release hormones called leptin to tell the brain to that the body is nourished.

5. Eating the right types of carbohydrates and avoiding refined sugars.  This is mainly eating whole complex carbohydrates from yams, sweet potatoes, yuca, wild rice, brown rice, whole grain  pasta.  Food at it’s most natural unrefined state is going to be considered the BEST!  Know your labels because a lot of products sweeten their products and add preservatives and chemicals that are obesegenics in the body which spike your insulin levels.

6. Eating low fat and choosing the right types of fat (examples: Nuts, Olive Oil, Canola Oil, Omega Oils from fish sources)

7. Drinking plenty of water- 1 gallon of filtered water at least. Everyone thinks they drink enough. Look at any body builder or fitness model and they are carrying around jugs of water and they usually consume the whole jug just by the end of the workout.

8. Eating natural, unrefined foods. Eat foods at their most natural state, could be a fish taken right out of the water and cooked at it’s most natural state.  A popular staple in a lot of diets is a hot dog which is processed 3 or more times and is far from wherever it originally came from with tons of fillers and corn syrups.

9. Eat Organic. Organic food will mostly be pesticide and chemical free.  The FDA has recently been challenged by scientists and consumers with a number of chemicals that were found to help kids and adults become obese and sick.  The list includes: MSG, Maltodextrin, Corn Syrups, Corn Starch, Fructose, Hydrogenated Oils, Soy Lecithin, Aspartame, Sucralose, Splenda.

10. Shop At Healthy Supermarkets. It’s no secret that certain supermarkets cater to a healthier more educated consumers especially in the West Coast.  Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Henry’s, Jimbo’s Natural, and Harris Teeter are all committed to bringing you chemical free meat and natural food items.  Chances are you won’t have to be a label detective when you shop at these stores because of the integrity and their business models to create a healthier population.

Boot Camp-Style Workouts For Body Toning and Weight Loss

By: Ryan McLean BSc Exercise Science

FAST RESULTS!  AMAZING RESULTS!  SEXY RESULTS!

Boot camp-style workouts have been popular for years because they offer a varied workout that is both challenging and fun. The workouts involve calisthenics such as push-ups, jumping jacks, squat jumps and other body weight exercises, and you work your entire body by going from one exercise to another with little rest in between. An American Council on Exercise study found that “the average exerciser burns approximately 9.8 calories per minute during a typical boot camp workout.”

Women Will Put On Muscle With Weights!!

By: Ryan McLean BSc

While Personal Training and running boot camps all over the United States the same question comes to my attention over and over.  Will weights bulk me up ? My answer is YES. You are what you eat and how you train.  Women compete against models and actresses to look their bests on a daily basis. A perfect female specimen with 15% body fat, without the extra bulk is considered very desirable and healthy according to research done by Women’s Health.  I am going to answer and debate 5 myths based upon research and personal case studies.  Topics that will be are valid and accurate  points based upon working with women of all shapes and sizes for 12 plus years.

1. Women don’t have as much testosterone as men so they cannot possibly bulk up.

Thru years of being in the California fitness industry and training 100′s of women with great success. While training with top notch female body builders who were 100% natural, I noticed that women indeed bulked up with body building routines and heavy weights based upon client records and case studies.  Their diets were based upon protein and carbohydrate and therefore the body had the building blocks to gain mass.  Females have lower testosterone levels then males, but for a female the combination of growth hormone and testosterone makes for a recipe of bulking up.  Who usually stays slender typically on this list?  Soccer players, runners, lacrosse players, surfers, power lifters, tennis players?

2.  My body type tends to bulk up very easily!

This may be very accurate and should be taken into consideration before taking on a particular client. There is 3 body types Endomorph, Mesomorph, and Ectomorph. Endomorphs are pear shaped and get heavy very easily with sedentary lifestyles and bulk up with heavy weight training.  Mesomorphs get lean quick with high amounts of athletic training, and also hey gain mass the quickest of all 3 body types.  Ectomorphs are tall and sometimes lanky and have tremendous trouble putting on weight.

3. Toning only happens from strength training with weights?

Resistance comes in many different forms and many women who are trying to appear leaner need to eliminate excess body fat.  Most of the time in these cases bodyweight exercises, intense cardio, and pilates will do the trick.  The main objective is having the body burn away the excess fat stores.  The “toned” appearance comes from removing the body fat from the body so that the muscle can be seen.  Will heavy weights tone an area or bulk the muscle outwards and gain hypertrophy on the desired area to tone up? Most women will agree they BULK UP!!

4. My guy friend got amazing results from doing this pyramid weight program.  Can I get the same results as him?

One convenient approach to keeping things very simple in gender variation training.  This just means that you cannot put male and female in the same “cookie cutter” programs.  You cannot expect women who typically have totally different goals then males to follow the same exercise guidelines.  Lean programs could consist of new phenomenal programs such as dance classes, yoga, pilates, exercise pole dancing, and most of all boot camps.

5. Is my diet related to my muscle gain and will I consume more calories in a certain program?

This basically means if you eat more than you are burning, you will gain weight. If you eat less than you are burning, you will lose weight. Unfortunately, most female athletes perceive any weight gain as “bulking up” and do not give attention to the fact that they are simply getting fatter. As Todd Hamer, a strength and conditioning coach at George Mason University said, “Squats don’t bulk you up. It’s the ten beers a night that bulk you up.” This cannot be emphasized enough. This also has another side to the program if your pressing heavy weight and activating your growth hormones then don’t you think your body is being told to get bulky and build stronger?   The body will require more protein and carbs to help recover the strained muscles.  Women stress eat and have very little will power when it comes to food.  Huge weights=increased calorie demand.

Fitness Revolution

WHO DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE?


The fitness industry is changing by leaps and bounds. The exercise community has been transformed from muscle bound to muscle defined, due to pop culture and societal demands. Workout enthusiasts are  searching for the hottest new program for lean and tone sculpted bodies. The traditional approach of late was to get bulky and have the “Muscle Blob Look.” A muscle physique only looks amazing when you couple a strict low amount of calories in the diet to stop the human growth factor, while starving your fat stores on a daily basis to obtain a vascular look. Who wants to live like that for the rest of their lives starving and depriving then binging in a cycle?

Chemically altered bodies consume the public workout communities.  These ticking time bombs appear to be healthy, but the reality is unbalanced structured physiques with artificial testosterone enhanced looks are actually creating havoc on the internal organs.  Bigger, Faster, Stronger, are a product of the media, and has contributed to a mass testosterone binging society craving the next great supplement for mass.

Your bodies structure is not meant to keep so much mass and bulk, wear and tear can be accumulated by the typical body building routines straining and overusing the muscles while under developing the stabilizer muscles.  Core and flexibility are done very rarely and people are hunched over looking for answers. Joints are weakened and supportive structures can degenerate. Exercise is meant to be functional and help out and energize the body and mind on a daily basis.  Being muscle bound is typically not functional and can cause undesirable side effects major back pain, obesity and over usage injuries to name a few.

Staying lean and fit can translate into high energy and a fluid body response during daily activities.  Once the body sheds the thick heavy muscle and fat it will feel vibrant and healthy.   Just normal activities will become effortless and natural without joint pain.  You will look sleeker and sexier and attract a lot of attention from the opposite sex with your new sleek and sculpted look.
