Today let's talk a little about cellulite. aka “Cottage Cheese." Cottage Cheese: Good when it’s a late-night snack - Bad when it’s in your legs.
Bad vs. Good
We all know that your diet determines your body, and the biggest effect your exercise will have on fat loss is to increase your Calories OUT..
But still, I’ve seen girls go harder than Bruce Willis and still have cottage cheese in their legs......
So here are some tips..
If you’re doing everything right, and you still have those goosebumps on the backside, then maybe you want to follow my plan…..
FIRST -> Know that 99% of all men still love you. Men love legs like fast cars, motorcycles, steak and leather jackets! And prob in that order too! (I'm sorry for you if you have that 1%'er...)
SECOND -> Think about maybe taking caffeine pre-workout. But only if you’re lifting heavy and taxing your muscle. In other words, only if you’re actually going to use the extra energy it gives you. Then the caffeine will use your fat storage for energy (instead of carbs or muscle)
THIRD -> Arch your back, squeeze your butt, and lift heavy on Squats, Deadlifts, Sumo Deadlifts, Step Ups, and Glute Bridges and lift heavy, and lift heavy and finally lift heavy. These are pure Straight Up Booty exercises, and they all focus on the hip extension.
FOURTH -> Fats over Carbs.
You’ll always want more carbs than you need.... so eat fats instead. Low-carb environments are ideal for fat loss as insulin is low. The quickest way to get fat is to overload on carbs. I guarantee if you eat no more than 75 grams of Carbs per day for the next 2 weeks you'll be leaner. Just don't stick with it for too long or you'll lose muscle in the process.
FIFTH -> Eat phytoestrogen.
These are found in leafy greens.. like Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, Asparagus. And they ‘stick’ to your estrogens and push them out of your body (remember, testosterone builds muscle and burns fat.. estrogen does the opposite).
Veggies all day. Eat them all day long. And chew them thoroughly. Then sing the veggie song, to the beat of Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long”: “Love you. Touch you. All day long. Baby. Give me those veggies! All day long..”
SIXTH -> Don’t even THINK about lipo.
You can’t ‘spot reduce’ fat. Fat loss always happens over your entire body.. and the fat loss process starts at different places for everyone. (some people lose fat in their stomach first, some in their face, it’s just how it is.. and nothing to worry about)….and no that 3 payments of $19.95 cream does not work.
Just realize that the only way to spot reduce fat is through lipo. And that’s a quick fix. And you don’t do quick fixes. Oprah does. And she, looks……. yeah.
SEVENTH -> Take Amino's
Take amino acids in supplement form either in between meals, or before you start working out. Amino Acids are like marriage counselors.. they keep things intact. In this case, your muscle. When you're on a calorie deficit to burn the fat, you'll lose muscle.. unless you lift heavy, get your proteins, and take amino's.
I'll leave it with these 7 tips for now. If you have any questions just get back to me. I'm very busy at the moment with all this SPRINTING stuff going on, but I'll do my best to get back to you asap.
Lift Heavy and eat. Get that sweet potato that you deserve, do your sprints, and lift more than anyone would ever expect of you!
Yours in health,
Greg
