Technically speaking, losing weight takes time – even if you are smashing through the kettlebell workouts. However, there’s nothing to say you can’t speed up the process of burning fat or at least looking like you’ve lost weight at least. A few simple hacks can help nudge you in the right direction of achieving your six packs.
Below Are Things Men Can Do To Acquire Their Six Packs Goal
Beef Up To Get That Six Packs
Protein is the building block of muscle, and it also keeps you full when you’re trying to lose weight. Protein powders can be good but often come with plenty of carbohydrates. Red meat, however, can help. Beef, lamb, venison and so on can help you re-up your testosterone levels, which encourages fat loss and also means you’ll have a more energy in the tank for your next gym session. Grass-fed beef is particularly high in testosterone-boosting.
Tea Off Aids In Acquiring A Six Packs
The fat-metabolising catechins in green tea have long been known to help you slim down. But a recent study published in Journal Of Nutrition And Metabolism found that white tea has substantial fat burning powers. Not only that, but it prevents the formation of new fat cells, too. So you can stick the kettle on to achieve that six packs you have been clamouring for.
Weigh It up
The more you weigh, the harder your body has to work. This is the same principle behind why larger people tend to lose weight more easily, and that last inch of flab is always the hardest to shift. Research has proven that athletes training in a weighted vest approximating 10% of their bodyweight significantly improved their fitness, helping them reach the VO2 Max fat-melting spot of 70%. Invest in a vest to have that sexy six packs.
Think Green To Achieve Your Six Packs
Overloading on high-fibre vegetables is a great way to feel full, but sometimes this can be problematic. In particular, their starch raffnose can be difficult for the body to digest and can lead to unflattering bloating. Squeezing lemon juice over your greens before eating, however, helps encourage the breakdown of the tough fibres, ensuring a smooth passage.
Be Pro-Active
Bloating will derail even the most defined abs (six packs). Opt for probiotic foods rich in fibre to help deflate your gut before you hit the beach. Watermelon is ideal. Although, not in a cocktail.
