Shredding Can Be A Bumpy Ride: Hang Onįinally, the last tip to getting ripped is to be realistic with your expected results. Ideally, you should only drink water, black coffee, green or herbal tea, sugar-free sparkling water, and your pre-workout while trying to get ripped. If you down 300-400 liquid calories a day and don't account for this with your food intake, it won't be long before those pounds start to come back. The problem with liquid calories is that they don't fill you up like solid food calories do, so they won't do much to reduce your appetite between meals. Hell, we highly recommend it! But drinking calorie-containing beverages at other times during the day is not. Don't Overdo the Liquid Calories-Even Protein Shakesĭrinking a protein shake after a workout is perfectly fine. Get creative and see how you can add some high-intensity moves to your usual workout routine. Deprived of other sources of energy, your body may use more protein for fuel, leaving less protein available for muscle maintenance. On the contrary you might even want to consume a little more protein when you're shredding. Many people make the mistake of thinking their protein needs will decrease during a diet. So each time you eat a protein-rich meal, you'll want to give yourself time to digest it and drink enough extra water to facilitate the increase in metabolic demand. Protein-rich foods require more energy to break down and digest compared to carbohydrates or dietary fats. All of those things are important for fat loss. Adding more protein to your diet plan can help reduce hunger, stabilize blood glucose levels, and rev your metabolism. If there is one macronutrient you'll want to eat more of to get leaner, it's protein. You also have more energy to devote to your workouts. When you sleep well, you have better control over your food choices and are less likely to binge eat at night. You can eat all the right foods, take all the right supplements, and have killer workouts, but if you're stressed out the whole time, you're undercutting your gains-and perhaps losing hard-earned muscle. When chronically elevated, this hormone can wreak havoc on muscle tissue and your immune system. If you're worrying all day about losing weight, you're probably also experiencing elevated levels of cortisol. Successful weight loss requires a game plan, one that includes stress management. Focus on high-quality foods during this time to make sure you take in all the nutrients you need. When you're dieting, you're consuming fewer calories, so you have fewer opportunities to meet those nutritional needs. It's much easier to meet your body's needs when you choose unprocessed foods because they're so rich in vitamins and minerals. Limiting your food choices to naturally occurring items such as these can create a greater feeling of fullness, making it easier to refrain from snacking. Focus on lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables that are saturated in color, both on the outside and inside, like sweet potatoes, purple yams, black rice, and avocados.
