Steal my 30 day weight loss sprint

Let's start with diet. I go full keto, focusing on maximizing protein intake.

Lots of meat, eggs, and fish. Whole foods are key. No processed junk.

Forget about carbs. Cutting them out leads to rapid weight loss as your body sheds water weight.

Alcohol is also off the menu. It's empty calories and messes with your metabolism.

Now for exercise. I do three 1-hour cardio sessions a week. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is great for burning fat.

On top of that, I hit the weights four times a week. This helps preserve muscle mass while you're in a calorie deficit.

Speaking of calories, I aim for a significant deficit. Calculate your maintenance calories and cut 500-750 calories from that.

Hydration is crucial. Drink at least 3 liters of water a day. It helps flush out toxins and keeps you feeling full.

I also incorporate intermittent fasting. I typically eat within an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours.

Sleep is often overlooked, but it's vital. Aim for 7-9 hours a night. Poor sleep can sabotage your weight loss efforts.

To really boost results, I add in some fat-burning supplements like green tea extract or caffeine.

Remember, this is an aggressive plan. It's not sustainable long-term, but it can jumpstart your weight loss journey.

Always listen to your body. If you feel overly fatigued or unwell, ease up.

Article of the Week

Magnesium

In a study with college-aged participants, those who took 350 mg of magnesium daily for 10 days reported less muscle soreness after exercise compared to a placebo group.

They used a scale to measure soreness at 24, 36, and 48 hours post-exercise and found magnesium reduced soreness by about 1-2 points on a 6-point scale.

Participants also felt less exertion during workouts and reported better recovery. While performance improvements weren't statistically significant, there was a trend toward better results with magnesium.

Fascinating Fact:

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

Top 3 Supplements for Women

Let's talk about supplements that can make a real difference for women's health. Here are three that every woman should consider:

  1. Vitamin D

    Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation.

    Many women are deficient in this vital nutrient, especially if they live in areas with limited sunlight.

    Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, which is essential for strong bones.

    It also plays a role in reducing inflammation and may even help prevent certain cancers.

  2. Iron

    Iron is particularly important for women, especially those of childbearing age.

    It's essential for producing haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your blood.

    Low iron levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and anaemia.

    Women lose iron during menstruation, so supplementation can be crucial. Iron also supports cognitive function and a healthy immune system.

  3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

    Omega-3s are powerhouse nutrients that benefit nearly every aspect of health.

    They're great for heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function.

    For women specifically, omega-3s may help alleviate menstrual pain and reduce the risk of breast cancer.

    They're also crucial during pregnancy for fetal brain development.

These supplements can address common deficiencies and support overall health.
