10 Commandments Of Fat Loss

     We all know that the 10 Commandments are a set of principles relating to ethics and worship, but I'm sure most of you don't know about the manuscript recently discovered in an archaeological site in Israel that has taken the fitness world by storm.

It would appear that Jesus loved to workout and in between performing various miracles like feeding the 5000, walking across water and healing lepers in the street, he liked nothing more than disrobing, putting on a loin cloth and wearing his Nike Air Jerusalem's to chuck a few rocks about and sprint in the olive groves.

Who knew? :)

Yes, it turns out that Jesus was just as body conscious as us these days and he actually coined the phrase " six pack" although he was referring to loaves of bread and not a lean mid section. Funny how things change over the centuries....

Back to the manuscript. Moses wrote the 10 commandments as we know yet he also wrote the 10 commandments of fat loss and it brings me great pleasure to reveal those 10 commandments to you today. Enjoy.

1) Thou shalt eat clean 90% of the time.

This means that two meals in the week can be more relaxed than normal or you can have a cheat meal. The rest of the time your diet needs to be clean which means protein based, low carb and good essential fats.

2) Thou shalt eat breakfast. Daily

A Protein only breakfast. Avoid bread, cereal, fruit and fruit juices. The most important meal of the day to really ramp up your metabolic rate and put your body into the fat burning zone.

3) Thou shalt eat protein with every meal or snack.

Never underestimate the thermic effect of protein. Protein will keep you fuller for longer and help you burn fat all day long.

4) Thou shalt supplement with good quality fish oil. Daily.

Fish oil is amazing for your health but it's also vital for optimal fat loss. 2-3 tablespoons of oil per day will work wonders.

5) Thou shalt eat an abundance of green vegetables. Daily.

Green vegetables like kale, broccoli and spinach contain an array of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that are virtually calorie free and will give you energy and really help in your fat loss efforts.

6) Thou shalt lift heavy weights. 3-4 times per week.

Weight training is the most effective fat burner on the planet, bar none. Lifting weights will produce more muscle mass and its this lean muscle tissue that will burn lots of calories throughout the day, even at rest.

7) Thou shalt supplement with a quality vitamin & mineral supplement. Daily.

Even if you have 6-8 portions of organic vegetables per day, you will still fall short of the amount of nutrients needed to perform in an optimal manner and burn the maximum amount of fat possible, not to mention warding off degenerative diseases.

8) Thou shalt drink 2-3 litres of water. DailyWe are made of about 70% water and water is vital for all our bodily functions. When it come to fat loss, water is needed to clear toxins from your body and helps fats pass through your system before they are stored. It will also slightly curb your appetite too. If you feel you need to eat, have a drink of water and wait 10 mins then ask yourself the same question. Sometimes you are just bored, not hungry.

9) Thou shalt minimise alcohol intake to 2-3 glass of RED wine per week.Ideally, no alcohol is best for fat loss but we all live in the real world. Red wine has fewer calories than white and there are many benefits from the odd glass or two. If all the other commandments are adhered to, I believe the odd glass of wine twice per week will not halt thy progress.

10) THOU SHALT NEVER EAT CEREAL AGAIN. EVER. (so important it was written in capitals)

Cereal was made by the devil and big companies looking to make a load of money of consumers, like you and me. In terms of fat loss, this is the most important commandment of them all. Avoid cereal like you would a swarm of killer locusts and refer back to the protein breakfast.

So there we have it. Gospel.

Now if it was good enough for Jesus, it is good enough for you and me.

Train hard, live easy.
