The Importance of Manipulating Calories Gradually for Successful Fat Loss and Muscle Gain [For full training routines check out my weekly workouts here => labrada/forum/muscle-building-workouts/ and for diet plans go here =>labrada/yourgoals] If you are on a fat loss diet, you gradually cut your caloric intake slowly over a period of 12 to 14 weeks, with no rapid adjustments. It’s similar to an airplane approaching a landing strip; you know, it’s just a nice gradual descent until it lands. You don’t wait until you’re over the runway and then nose dive into it, nor do you nose dive into the field and then crawl onto the runway. You just gently reduce the calories – 100 to 200 cal off of the daily intake per week, and get yourself slowly and methodically. Let’s say that at week one you are consuming 3000 cal per day for the entire week. In the second week you might consume 2800 cal per day during that entire week. And, as time goes on you just gradually reduce the calories weekly and once you get down to maybe 2200 or 2400 cal, you just maintain it there until the day of the show. Likewise, gaining weight is analogous to an airplane taking off – it’s done gradually. You don’t just get off of the runway and then vertically do a climb. So, what I’m saying here is that you should just gradually increase your calories when you’re trying to gain weight, until you notice if you are putting on too much undesirable body fat. At this point, you would just cut it back a little bit. Contrary to the myth, you don’t just eat everything that’s not nailed down. The key is to gain muscle as the body fat levels stay constant. Best! Lee
