How to Burn the fat and feed the muscle

Step 1

One of the single most important ideas in this plan is to eat the right amounts of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats). By messing with ratios of these macros and staying strict with the guidelines your goals will soon be in range. Diet is so important that without adhering to these principles you will surely never reach your physique goals.. EVER.

Step 2

We need to manipulate macros in such a way as to build more strength and mass while burning our fat stores. Protein levels will stay somewhat the same(high) throughout the plan. You need that steady stream of amino acids to feed to the muscles for repair. Try out one gram per pound of bodyweight and assess your progress. If you find yourself stalling, try to up it to 1.25 or 1.5 grams per pound and then make a new assessmentt based on that. That is about as high as you will want to go with protein, the rest is up to carbs and fat manipulation. Give each change in protein amount about four weeks before reassessing other wise you may throw the perfect plan out the window before you see positive results.

Step 3

Here is the tricky part. Now you will start to manipulate carbvs in such a way as to trick the body into tapping into its fat stores for fuel. You will have high, medium and low carb consumption days. You will eat low carbs for two to four days followed by medium and high days. On the low days your body will burn fat for fuel and save muscle so as long as your protein intake is high enough. Before you starve your body of energy after so many days of low carbs (which if prolonged could lead to lower testosterone levels and metabolism) you will have a day of moderate carbs and another day of high carbs.
