Burn the Fat - A Very Successful Week of Fat Burning
Well it was a very successful week for me on this Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program.After two weeks of getting my calorie requirements tweaked for fat loss based on my activity level, I seem to have hit the magic number.
During week two, I gained 1 pound of lean muscle while during this past week, week 3, I dropped 2.5% body fat and 6 pounds of fat while gaining 1 more pound of muscle in the process.
I had the week off from weight training in what my trainer calls a “transition” week between programs. I took the opportunity to do a bunch of extra cardio which resulted in 14 hours worth. I did 1 hour of HIIT in the am before breakfast (see this article on morning cardio) and then another 1 hour of HIIT in the evening.
Worked in one cheat meal of pizza , ok, pizza and a half. I almost never do pizza, but once or twice a year and all the variables happened to coincide so I did it. The variables were it being a re-feed day and it fell on a weekend. For more about what a re-feed day is and learning your caloric needs for your bodytype, have a look at Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.
