Will This Work For You?

Here’s something I have been doing with my diet on and off for several years when I need to add some muscle and cut some belly fat.

The best part - You don’t have to cut anything out. You just have to make sure you hit your protein targets.

I call it subtraction by addition.

This is how it works:

Set a protein goal of about 1 gram of protein to 1 lb of ideal bodyweight (if you are 225 and want to get down to 185 then you are looking at 170-185 grams of protein).

Next make sure you consume that much protein in a day. Every day. 

This is what you will find:
1. You’re are pretty full most of the time.

2. When you are hungry, you won’t want to fill up on junk food as much because you know you have more high protein food coming soon.

3. Sugar cravings will reduce greatly.

As you add in the protein (ideally eaten with some veggies but no stress) combined with some resistance training, your body will be forced to maintain muscle mass while burning fat. Because you are so full from high protein meal you are less likely to eat the high-processed foods and more likely to be in a calorie deficit. 

This isn’t the only way lose belly fat or tone up but it’s tool that I use from time to time and works great for me. Give it a try for a month and see what happens!

Always in your corner,
