Can You Gain Muscle and Burn Fat In Just 7 Minutes?

There are three key steps in order to trick the body into doing two seemingly opposite things at the same time; burn fat and build muscle.

Step 1- you have to stimulate the body to increase its muscle mass. You do this through weight training. However, train TOO LONG and all that extra energy from your stored body fat will go to keeping your central nervous system from crashing. Your body will shift all of that energy and then some into the metabolic processes we call "survival mode" faster than you can snap your fingers. It will try and make sure your metabolism stays high enough to survive.

That's one reason diets fail—the metabolism crashes because calories are too low AND because you are exercising too much.

Brief but brutal training is the key. I cover the BEST way to do this in my new book. It's killer...and it only takes 7 minutes to do. (Advanced trainees can use the 14-21 minute plans if they want.)

Step 2 - is to lower your calories. How do you manage to do this without starving the muscle? Keep the protein and fats high. Healthy fats are best, although some saturated fat is okay unless your doc says no. (Most doctors know next to nothing about nutrition. Hopefully yours is smarter.) Also, can you give a few examples of foods that contain good protein and healthy fats that people can eat?]

Now, here's a great trick: Overeat slightly cooked or raw vegetables. Try to eat as much as you can. Literally force-feed yourself, especially at night. This trick fools the mind into thinking it has more food than it actually does.

Step 3 - Walk. The more the better. You clear out the toxins, get the blood flowing, help rid lactic acid from the system, and burn fat all at the same time. I walk about 20 times longer than I train with weights because I love it so much. It's my number one fat-burner.


So, let's recap:

1. You can burn fat and build muscle.

The energy required to build the muscle mass comes from stored body fat.

2. This only works if you keep your protein and fats sufficiently high AND if you do not over train in the gym. The shortest workout possible is the best. Stimulate the mind and body to "build muscle" and it will.

3. Walk as much as you can. Walking before eating in the morning helps you burn even more body fat.

Three simple steps, some hard work and dedication, and you could have that lean, muscular body you’ve always wanted.
