Remember that the importance of supplementing intelligently
becomes magnified when you’re on a reduced calorie program.
Many individuals cut calories in an attempt to drop fat quickly.
Unfortunately, these same individuals are often depriving
their bodies of important nutrients for overall health and
physical fitness. They’re taking in less food and as
a result less vitamins and minerals along with that food.
For example, a massive study of over 25,000 individuals conducted
by the U.S. Department of Agriculture clearly demonstrated
that well over half of the women who cut their fat intake
below 30% of total calories did not get enough (RDA) vitamin
A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, iron, and zinc.
These are key nutrients that should not be sacrificed for
the sake of a low-fat diet.
The solution is simple: try to eat a well-rounded diet by
not cutting fat intake too drastically and supplement with
quality multi-vitamins/minerals and extra antioxidants.
Note: those who use Meal Replacement Powders (MRPs) and/or
Sports Nutrition Bars as part of their program are much less
likely to deprive themselves of these key nutrients because
both are usually fortified with extra vitamins and minerals.
USE VARIATION TO INTENSIFY YOUR PROGRESS
Have your fat reduction efforts reached a plateau? It may
be time to put the principle of Variation to work for you.
The body is incredibly adaptive and resourceful when it comes
to adjusting to any program geared at fat loss; in a word
it’s downright stubborn.
The only intelligent way to combat this resourcefulness is
to constantly change things up in your program, to get variation
into it and not allow the body to become “comfortable”
and readjust set points.
In other words, if you’ve been doing 40 minutes of
cardio work 4 times per week for the past three months, then
you may have made some great initial progress, but it’s
not uncommon for the rate of progress to eventually slow or
stagnate altogether.
Your body has become used to this training and it’s
no longer having as dramatic an effect. The solution is to
mix things up by 1) upping your intensity (go to level 7 rather
than level 4); 2) breaking the routine (take a week off from
cardio work, or shift to two 60 minute sessions, or five 20
minute sessions. Change it anyway you like, but CHANGE
IT!
You should also try to apply Variation to your diet and supplement
programs as well. Cycle your calorie intake, your carb intake,
your protein intake, or all three.
If you’ve been using an ECA Stack for a while and results
have slowed, vary things up by shifting to Metabolic Thyrolean
and/or L-Glutamine for 3-4 weeks. Then go back to the ECA
Stack and watch the results you get!
The bottom line rule is if you’ve hit a sticking point
or plateau, the last thing you want to do is what you’ve
been doing. Drop the routine and start making progress again.
