So your resistance training program is great and you’ve been training hard every day, besides sweating like a bull on lengthy cardio sessions a few times per week, but for some reason you still can’t reach your get-lean goal. How is that possible?
Let us give you a clue: you’re slacking off on your diet. While exercise is critical to your success, no amount of pumping iron and sprinting could give you a lean body if you continuously sabotage your gains by eating a bad diet. Think of it this way: even if you work out hard and heavy for two straight hours every single day, the way you treat your body during the remaining 22 hours in the day matters more than you think it does. In fact, within that time period you could easily destroy all your hard work in the gym with a few dietary slip-ups. Ask any trainer, nutritionist or professional athlete about this and if they’re honest enough, they will admit that maintaining an adequate diet is the key to getting the body of your dreams.
Most guys already know this but they have a hard time putting it into practice because as soon as they walk out of the gym after a ridiculously grueling session, they feel entitled to eat whatever they want (read: a huge greasy burger) because they’ve worked their ass off. In addition, some of them seriously believe that a decent amount of exercise can wipe off the evils of poor food choices.
Newsflash: if your diet is all over the place, so will your gains be. Or perhaps you know someone who’s gotten insanely ripped by slamming down pizzas and French fries every day?
To prove our point, we’ve decided to present you with a challenge: imagine that you’ve got only 21 days to get super-lean. How would you plan your meals in order to shed as much fat as possible in that short period of time? If you’re not sure about that, check out our simple 21-day low-carb dieting program bellow.
If you follow it as strictly as you can, we can guarantee you that you’ll be proudly showing off those massive muscles in less than a month. You have nothing to lose, so give it a try right now. No more time for fooling around – get ready to start melting your fat away and maximize your mass gains!
The 21-day diet
Cut out all carbs, except after lifting workouts
The post-workout meal is the only time when you’re allowed to eat a big portion of clean, fast-digesting carbs. Keep in mind that this applies ONLY for the meals following your lifting workouts, not cardio sessions. Also, we’re not talking about stuffing yourself with ice cream – think fruits, potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats and white rice. The body can be forced to rely more on fats for fuel and this is completely safe, health-promoting if done the right way and for adequate periods of time. Not to mention, it will stimulate far greater fat-burning.
