Fantastic, keep up the good work! For men, there are thee keys to rapid weight loss and lifelong weight maintenance.
1. Increasing the mitochondria count in your muscles by doing short strength exercises using all the major muscle groups. About 15 minutes a day is all you need, and the mitochondria will burn fat 24/7 for you with a low carb diet/intermittent fasting. Contrary to popular myth, it’s not muscle mass that does the work, it’s the mitochondria count.
2. Controlling insulin, which you know well. All you need is carb control and at least 45 minutes a day of walking.
3. Increase free testosterone. The 15 minute workouts help, but safe, inexpensive supplements are the way to really activate this. The free testosterone will signal your body to reconfigure into a leaner, toned profile.
I tripled my rate of weight loss by adding Tongkat Ali and Maca supplements to my diet (available at places like Sprouts Farmers Market, online or any decent health food store). I am currently working with a co-worker who started at 285. He was losing a steady 2 pounds a week following essentially your same diet plan.
When I gave him the two supplements to try, he immediately shifted gears to losing 6 pounds a week, with no other changes.
PM me if you want all the steps I used to get from 22% body fat to 16% in three months. Once you find the keys to your body’s operating system, everything becomes so easy it feels like magic.
Thanx. I'll check for them at my weigh-in tomorrow at the Sav A Lot Nutrition Center.
