After going through the bulking up phase, you will have some fat to get rid of, so now is the time to cut down. You burn off the fat which will allow the deeper muscle cuts to show through. You don't want to lose your hard earned muscle, but you do want to lose your fat. This article we talk about how to cut properly.
Cutting and dieting is extremely hard and takes a lot of work. Dieting is very important while trying to
cut and cannot be ignored. It must be
done properly and it must be always followed.
You need to make sure that you are eating at least 5-6 times daily. Eating this much during the day keeps your
metabolism running excellent, which allows you to burn many more calories
during the day. You must split these
meals 3-4 hours apart. Once you have
your meal times set, try to stick with them so that you get use to working with
a routine. While eating carbohydrates
on a cutting diet, you want to make sure the sources are complex. Some sources of carbohydrate include
oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and yams.
While on a cutting diet, you
can’t just forget about protein intake.
Protein intake is necessary because otherwise your body might start
turning to it’s protein sources for energy which could lead to a loss of muscle
tissue. Lean protein sources include egg whites, tuna, white meat chicken and turkey lean beef, etc.
You will also want to include a thermogenic cutting supplement like Herbal Fat Melter.
