First,
if you're not familiar with it, "Angry
Birds" is a phone game where you use
your finger on the touchscreen to slingshot
a variety of cartoon birds at evil green pigs
who've stolen their eggs. You have to knock
down different structures to get at the pigs
to destroy them...different birds do different
things and are useful for getting through
different materials (if you're still confused,
Google "angry birds" and you'll
see what it's all about in detail).
I
want you to think about your stubborn fat
as the structures that are sheltering these
evil pigs and the birds as your training and
nutrition strategies.
When
you start to lose bodyfat, it generally comes
off relatively easily (especially if you have
a lot to lose). In the game, there are structures
made of wood. They're easy to break and the
no-frills red birds can bust right through
them.
Your
"easy" bodyfat is the wooden structures
and it's easily taken care of with standard
training and exercise (the red birds). At
this stage of the game, just about anything
you do to lose fat is probably going to work.
Once
you're past the first few levels, it starts
to get a bit harder, just like when you're
training to lose bodyfat.
With
fat-loss, this is the period where things
start to slow down a bit and have you to tighten
up your training and eating in order to keep
making progress. In the game, this is where
they start adding concrete barriers, rocks
and ice blocks to the structures.
You
have to use SPECIAL angry birds to get through
these....
...Yellow
birds that accelerate, blue birds that split
into three birds, white birds that lay explosive
eggs, black birds that explode like bombs,
big "fat boy" red birds that plow
through everything, and boomerang birds that
loop back around to destroy things.
The
structures get more and more complex (and
they give the stupid pigs helmets!) and you
have to use various combinations of the birds
to bring them down on the pigs.
This
is EXACTLY what happens with stubborn
bodyfat...
You
have to use birds to...no wait, nevermind...what
I meant is that you have to use very specialized,
very targeted training and nutritional techniques
to get at that stubborn bodyfat and get rid
of it.
Using
standard training programs and nutrition (the
small red bird) will get you a good way towards
your overall goal, but it won't allow you
to access the stuff that's locked away due
to hormonal issues that you might be experiencing.
To
access this stubborn fat, you have to use
nutritional and training techniques that are
targeted for the structure you want to go
after.
For
example, if you've got love handles that won't
go away, your problem could be insulin management.
To access this fat, you need to keep blood
sugar levels stable by either eating low-glycemic
or low-carb, which moderates insulin secretion.
Boom
- that's your yellow bird that just took out
the concrete block so you can get at the pigs
on other side.
Now
you're in a stable blood sugar state and you
use Lactic Acid-based training to bring the
pH in your blood down. This is seen as an
emergency situation in your body and it secretes
gro.wth hor.mone (dots added on purpose) in
response. This hormone is an extremely potent
fat-burner, and also helps preserve muscle
tissue AND targets belly fat.
Boom
- you just dropped a triple bird on top of
those pigs and followed it up with an egg
bird to take out the rocks in front of the
other pigs.
We
also want to focus on building muscle mass,
to keep your metabolism up so you can burn
more fat while at rest, which is CRITICAL
to achieving low bodyfat levels. That's your
density training (volume-based). Then we focus
on pure strength with specific circuit training.
Boom
- you just dropped an explosive black bird
on the pigs, which knocked out a bunch of
them all at once.
As
you get more advanced in your training and
your bodyfat gets lower, you NEED these
special birds to keep making progress.
If
all you're doing is standard fat-loss training
and eating, you'll be able to achieve only
a certain level of results and you will eventually
hit a plateau. As you progress and start running
into obstacles and plateaus (you get stuck
on a level), you need more specific, more
targeted strategies to achieve your goals.
Otherwise,
you're just flinging a small red bird into
a concrete block over and over. And nobody
wants to do that...
So
I hope I achieved my goal of simultaneously
enlightening you about stubborn bodyfat and
confusing the heck out of you with a strange
video game analogy... ;)
So
here's the good part...I've got a program
to recommend to you that accomplishes this
very strategic fat-loss targeting...
It's
called Final Phase Fat Loss, by John Romaniello,
and it's EXTREMELY well put together. You'll
learn specific eating, training and supplementation
techniques that will destroy that stubborn
fat as sure as a big black bomb bird!
