Ep. #248: How to Lose Weight Faster in 5 Simple Steps


Listen Later

Losing weight fast is really easy.

Eat as little food and do as much cardio as you can for the next month or two, and you’ll lose weight fast. I promise.

You might be disappointed in the end, though, even if you can suffer through it.

Why?

Because while the scale will proclaim a victory, the mirror will disagree. You may not look as fat as before, but you’re going to look more skinny fat, and that’s not the goal.

You see, the standard “starve yourself skinny” approach to dieting burns fat, but it also burns muscle, and that’s no good for your body composition.

That’s why your goal shouldn’t be to “lose weight,” but to “lose fat, and not muscle.”

And that’s what you’re going to learn about in this episode. You’re going to learn how to lose weight fast, but also how to do it in a way that preserves your muscle (and sanity).

It’s pretty easy, too. There are just five steps:

1. Use an aggressive (but not reckless) calorie deficit.
2. Eat a high-protein diet.
3. Do a lot of heavy compound weightlifting.
4. Use high-intensity interval training to burn fat faster.
5. Take fat loss supplements that actually work.

Let’s go over each.
