4. How to Lose 20 lbs. of Fat in 30
Days Without Doing Any
Exercise
5. It is possible to lose 20 lbs. of bodyfat in 30 days by optimizing any of three factors: exercise, diet, or
drug/supplement regimen. I've seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional
athletes. In this post, we'll explore what I refer to as the "slow-carb diet".
In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 180 lbs. to 165 lbs., while adding about 10 lbs. of muscle, which
means I've lost about 25 lbs. of fat. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet
(CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you,
Scandinavian genetics). Here are the four simple rules I followed ...
Rule # 1: Avoid "white" carbohydrates
Avoid any carbohydrate that is-- or can be-- white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within
1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal,
potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you'll be safe.
Rule # 2: Eat the same few meals over and over again
The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few
meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three
following groups:.
Proteins:.
Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor.
Chicken breast or thigh.
Grass-fed organic beef.
Pork.
Legumes:.
Lentils.
Black beans.
Pinto beans.
Vegetables:.
Spinach.
Asparagus.

Peas.
Mixed vegetables.
Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals
and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or
potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the
cuisines most conducive to the "slow carb" diet.
6. Most people who go on "low" carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets
can't work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 300 calories, whereas a 1/2
cup of spinach is 15 calories! Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for
caloric load.
Some athletes eat 6-8x per day to break up caloric load and avoid fat gain. I think this is ridiculously
inconvenient. I eat 4x per day:.
10am-- breakfast.
1pm-- lunch.
5pm-- smaller second lunch.
7:30 -9 pm-- sports training.
10pm-- dinner.
12am-- glass of wine and Discovery Channel before bed.
