>> Shaun: Hey everybody. What's up? Shaun Hadsall; coming at you with another Fat Loss
video. I'm kind of excited about this one because this is one that I personally have
a passion for. I love this type of stuff. I'm going to talk about five diet and exercise
tricks to get six pack abs as fast as possible.
So I typically can maintain right around eight to ten percent body fat year around, being
consistent, not perfect. But any time I want a full six pack abs I immediately implement
the five ticks that I'm going to share with you, and I'm going to do the same thing with
my private clients, and this is some of the aggressive tactics that I use with my Rapid
Fat Loss plans.
So the first trick is to manipulate carbs on your cardio in your interval days, high
intensity interval training days or what I call metabolic bursting. So on days where
you're going to engage in some type of cardio activity, some type of interval training,
or some type of short-hard metabolic bursting, like twenty to thirty second sprint, which
I highly recommend because this is what releases fat burning hormones, it can help you target
belly fat to get six pack abs. But on these days, maybe three or four days of your week
max, what I would do is I would keep my grams of impact carbs under fifty grams. So I would
totally illuminate starches and fruits about three or four days of my week, just engage
in these high intensity interval training workouts, and this alone is going to help
put your body into a healthy calorie deficit. Now you can't do that every day of the week
because you'll suppress your fat burning hormones, you'll get metabolic slow down and you'll
hit a plateau. But if you do it three or four days of the week, and use the other four tricks
I'm going to share with you, this can help you target lower abdominal fat to get that
six pack ab look.
Number two, time your starches and your fruits. So on days where you're going to do resistance
training or strength training or some type of weight training routine, this is when you
want to time your starches and your fruits post workout. So within sixty minutes after
the workout your muscles are metabolically active and they want to suck up nutrients
because you bring to the surface GLUT4, which is called a glucose transporter. So what this
does is if you time your starches and your fruits post workout, after weights, these
fruits and starches will partition into muscle tissue so that number one, you don't get that
depleted feeling where you can't get a pump, it helps spark your metabolism to keep your
body in an anabolic environment where you can build and maintain muscle. So this will
prevent you from losing muscle when you're using these carb depleting days the other
days of the week. Number three, change your cheating strategy.
So typically in everyday life, when it's summer, it's like, Monday through Friday I'm pretty
good. Take two steps forward, Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday I take three steps backward.
So we have to be careful that we don't get in this vicious cycle, especially if we want
a six pack abs. It should go without saying that you're going to need to eat healthy if
you want six pack abs; however, we still need to indulge and enjoy ourselves. So what I
recommend, instead of giving yourself a cheat day, I recommend you change your cheating
strategy and give yourself one cheat meal, for just a period of maybe four to six, maybe
four to eight weeks, to get this six pack ab look. It's going to require that sacrifice.
Now if you're just trying to maintain or just lose some weight you can go ahead and give
yourself a cheat day once a week as long as you're eating clean the other five or six
days of the week, that's fine. But if you want six pack abs you're going to have to
do what most other people aren't willing to do and that is give yourself one cheat meal
a week to provide that metabolic spark, to reset leptin levels in your thyroid to keep
your hormones happy and, most importantly, to continue to target lower abdominal fat.
This is huge because it'll make all the difference.
Number four is monitor your alcohol intake. I know during the summer I typically will
drink probably twice as much as I do during the winter, it's just the nature of our schedule,
especially where I live here in Michigan; however, alcohol can negate the fat loss process
in a big way. So here's what I recommend. I recommend a couple hours after your cheat
meal once a week, that if you want to have a couple cocktails, you can have a couple,
but that would be it for the entire week. [Because if you're busy…*4:20, Even/even]
if a drink or two every night isn't going to hurt you, the acetate in alcohol is preferred
as a primary fuel source over and above any type of food. So your liver will be so busy
processing acetate on a daily basis that it won't have any time to get rid of the body
fat, to do what it needs to do to help you get six pack abs.
Number five is to be a bottle baby. Double your water intake, remember, especially when
you cheat or for every gram of carb that we consume, impact carb, our body holds almost
three grams of water so when we cheat or when we eat bad we're going to hold more water
and so giving our body double water intake will help flush out that bloated look and
get rid of that water that's underneath your skin. On top of this, all metabolic processes
that take place inside of our body, take place by the transport of water and by doubling
your water intake, just for a short period of time,[a couple, maybe three,*5:18]like
I said, four to eight weeks. Get extra water because the more water you give your body
the less it will hold onto and then it will assure that all these processes that I just
went over are maximized to their full potential.
Now what I've done is, if you like these strategies, I actually put together an article and a free
report that I want to give you for free and what it does is it outlines a three or four
day strategy that I call carb deletion and it teaches you how to use carb depletion after
a weekend food bender or after a period of time where you've eaten unhealthy, it can
literally double or triple your fat loss and this tactic instantly makes lower belly and
abdominal fat your go-to energy source for like three or four days in a row. And I put
it in an article if you just click the link below this video you can read all about the
article and if you like it you can go ahead and download my free report. Enjoy the free
goodies and we'll see you guys in the next video.
