Hello Aggressivefatloss.com Lovers, Thanks for Coming.
First off, I don’t think that everyone should try to get down to 4% bodyfat.
My sleep starts to suffer a bit when I pull some stuff like this, but I wanted to be able to share with you what I did to drop a few percentage bodyfat in a couple weeks.
You see, normally I am low carb, high fat. So that means that when I do decide to temporarily reduce fat from my diet, the body really likes to burn the fat stored on my body.
Even though I was already pretty lean, I wanted to push it a little bit further and I figured at the very least, it would provide me with a plan for my viewers to follow.
Here’s what it looked like (note this is pretty low calorie since it was a cut):
5:30am: Wake-Up and Have 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar with Lemon Water and a pack of LMNT electrolytes
6:15am: Green Tea (and sip on it throughout my workout)
6:30am: Workout
7:30am: Sauna
8:00am: 6oz Lean Turkey Breast, 4oz Greek Yogurt with 1 Scoop of Collagen, 1 Cup Strawberries
11:00am: 2 Whole Eggs, 2 Egg Whites + 4oz Lean Ground Beef, 1/2 oz beef liver, 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese with 1 tbsp of flax meal
2:30pm: 1 Cup of Raw Yogurt with 1 Packet of Seaweed (nori)
5:30pm: 96% Lean Ground Beef with Cauliflower Rice (1 cup), Asparagus with nutritional yeast, Red Bell Peppers and Onion with 2 Tsp Olive Oil
6:00pm: Magnesium, Cod Liver Oil and 2 Capsules of SEED synbiotic (probiotic that I use especially when trying a newer diet.
Whenever you change your diet up, it is important to get some good fermented food, some good soluble fiber and generally speaking use a probiotic to help the gut cope with the radical shift in food.
In this case, I have gone more low fat keto with some other foods, so I really wanted to help out by giving my gut what it needed. Seed is definitely my go-to for this.
Now… instead of fasting during this period, 2-3 days per week I would do what is called a protein-sparing-modified-fast.
Sounds intense, and it usually is, but keep in mind that I am doing this INSTEAD of fasting.
So in this case, 2-3 days per week, I would only eat lean protein (very little fat) and have it amount to a little less than 1,000 calories.
Sound extreme? Well it can be. In fact, it’s generally used in medical weight loss programs, but it’s also a form of fasting when done properly (hence the official name of PSMF).
I don’t recommend you do it often, but occasionally during a weight loss venture, replace one or two of your fasting days with a lower calorie, lower fat protein-sparing modified fast like I did.
Keeps protein high enough to prevent muscle wasting, but combined with a diet like I used above… it definitely sheds the fat.
Note that this is pretty extreme and is definitely something you only want to do for a shorter term effect.
I know I don’t need to be at 4%. I usually hover around 6-9%, but I wanted to see if I still had it in me, especially using some of my newfound research that I wanted to apply!
