How to Lose The Fat Before Summer

Summer fat loss is one of the most desired goals and it’s easy to understand. Most people are likely to gain some weight over the colder seasons. Summer is right around the corner, but there is still time for fat loss

Just remember the big 3. Diet, weight training and cardio.
tip: I put diet first for a reason

Diet is the key component to weight loss, next comes cardio and no fat loss routine is complete without weight training. After all, losing 10lbs is nice, but if you have no muscle to show off under that layer of fat you’re going to be disappointing when beach season rolls around.

You already know you should do your cardio first thing in the morning or immediately following your weight training session, but I’ve got another fat loss tip for you.

Eliminate Liquid Calories!

When it gets hot outside nobody enjoys a lemonade, slurpee, kool aid (pretty much any cold drink) more than me, but these soft drinks are the easiest way of NOT achieving your fat loss goal. I know it may sound harsh (especially if you like Arnold Palmer’s as much as I do) but in order to lose the fat you’re going to want to drink nothing but water.

Check this out. . .

If you drink 1 bottle of soda per day on average, that’s about 250 calories and needless to say most soda drinkers have more than 1 bottle/can per day.

250 calories x 7 days = 1,750 calories!

1lb of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Just eliminating soda, juice, etc from your diet could mean an additional lb of fat every 2 weeks that you keep off your waistline.

By the way, today I had my last Arizona Ice Tea Arnold Palmer. Time to take my own advice and stick to water while I’m in a fat loss phase.

Whose with me?
