Study: Shedding Weight Gradually is LESS BENEFICIAL for Metabolism

Often we hear from well-meaning, yet misinformed fitness trainers suggest that a slow and steady route to lean physique is best.

However, the truth revealed tells a completely different story…

Achieving A Lean Body Should Be As Swift As Taking Off A Band-Aid!

How do you prefer removing your band-aid? Quickly, right? It may sting momentarily but surely outweighs any other option.

Surprisingly enough, this principle rings true when it comes to shedding fat as well.

You might have heard warnings about losing weight too rapidly; stories of metabolism crash or even rebound weight gain?

Well surprise surprise my dear friend! Striving for gradual loss appears to not hold its ground. Actually, casting off that extra body fat should be exactly like pulling off band-aid – Prompt and swift so you can move ahead without delay!

The research proves when it comes to fat loss, faster is better. Scientists from Newcastle University tested 3 groups of dieters and found that those who lost bodyweight the fastest saw the smallest drop in resting metabolism! [1]

Another study examining the effects of long-term mild-caloric deficit dieting in humans found that long-term dieters suffered from 78% lower testosterone levels and 28% lower VO2Max levels! [2]

And yet another long-term analysis of European dieters showed that dieters who lost the most weight during an initial 8-week diet phase were the most successful at KEEPING the weight off six months later — even when using very low a calorie approach. [3]

Now that you’ve seen the evidence that proves it’s better to lose fat quickly, let me show the simple step-by-step plan you can use to make that happen:

I was reading up on this new “Underground Fat Loss” method – there are certainly some interesting things the author Matt Marshall has to say, so I wanted to look into it a little more myself!…

Weight Loss Lie #3: Carbs Raise Insulin & Make You Store Fat

When it comes to losing fat, you’ve probably heard that you need to cut carbs if you wanna lose weight? Maybe you’ve even tried a low-carb diet over the years. If you did, I bet ya a doughnut I can guess what happened:

First two weeks went great – you dropped a bunch of weight. Mostly water, but some fat too. And then…. Nada. Weight loss came to a screeching stop. And… oddly enough. You were cold all the time. Especially your hands and your feet.

Am I in the right neighborhood? Maybe you already know why this happened – without adequate carbohydrates, your body produces less T3. T3 – or triiodothyronine for you science geeks – is a hormone that controls metabolism AND rate of fat burning.

Strange Bagel Study Proves You Can Crush Carbs All Day Long Without Gaining Fat

Check out this medical research study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition…

Researchers found a bunch of volunteers and basically crammed bagels down their throat for a week. I’m not even kidding – they overfed these volunteers 1,000 EXTRA calories (mostly from carbs) on day 1.

Just one problem. All these extra carbs actually…

Increased Metabolism By 37%!

This totally messed with the experiment.

So on day 2 researchers upped the ante. They overfed participants an extra 1,500 calories. But again, each volunteers’ metabolism increased again, this time burning an extra 470 calories. By the end of the week researchers were begging the volunteers to cram down bagels and despite 5 days of massive over-eating none of the participants gained any appreciable amount of body fat.

This PROVES that it’s possible to enjoy delicious carbohydrates without gaining fat. And in fact you can even enjoy many of your favorite carb-heavy dishes and lose weight.

The secret is knowing what kinds of carbs to eat.

Let’s dive a little deeper into the new Kettlebell 5×5 program we’ve been talking about for the last few days:

–> 5×5 Kettlebell Method for Strength + Muscle

If you’ve been thinking about giving it a try, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, let me shed some light on how it works, along with giving you a sneak peek at a sample workout.  

The original 5×5 workout is known as an efficient strength-building routine based around essential compound movements – such as squats, deadlifts, and bench press among others. You do five sets of five reps for each exercise, hence “5×5”. The aim is to gradually increase weight while maintaining good form. This simple yet intensive routine is great for gaining strength and lean muscle!

Now comes in our newest evolution – The Kettlebell 5×5 Program! With the new Kettlebell 5×5 Method, you’re going to use the classic 5×5 template, but you’ll use kettlebell exercises, which will not only help you gain strength and size, but you’ll build your core, mobility, and avoid injury, all at the same time.

Now. When doing the 5×5 program with kettlebells, we need to be a bit more strategic. This is because with barbells, you can simply increase the weight once you can handle five sets of five reps. But kettlebell weights tend to make bigger jumps.

That’s why we’ll have some fun playing around with details like tempo, rest periods, exercise variations, etc.

Here is an example workout. (Details on things like how to progress from one ‘bell to two, how to increase overload WITHOUT upping the weight as an option, etc are included in the full program and video breakdowns):

KB 5×5 – WEEK 1 / WORKOUT 2

PART 1 – Do 5 KB clean and presses on the right side. Rest 60-120 seconds. Do 5 KB clean and presses on the left side. Rest 60-120 seconds. Go back to side one and complete a total of five rounds. When you can get 5 sets of 5 reps, progress – adjust lifting tempo, reduce rest period, pick a harder exercise variation, or increase weight.

PART 2 – Do exercise one. Rest 60-120 seconds. Do exercise 2. Rest 60-120 seconds. Go back to exercise one and complete a total of five rounds. When you can get 5 sets of of movement #1, progress – adjust lifting tempo, reduce rest period, pick a harder exercise variation, or increase weight:

— Turkish Get Up – 1 per side
— Single arm KB rows – 12 reps per side

PART 3 – Do as many reps as you can of exercise one in 30 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds. Do as many reps as you can of exercise two in 30 seconds. Rest for 15 seconds. Do three rounds total:

— Close push ups
— Jumping jacks
— KB crush curl
— High knees in place

There you have your Kettlebell 5×5 sample workout.
