The 6 Week Shredded (Fat Loss) workout plan is not easy, but it will definitely transform your body if you follow it. The key is to ask yourself if having a great body is worth it for you. In fact, to my mind, part of getting something is knowing what you have to give up in order to get it. If you decide to follow this Shredded (Fat Loss) program, you may find that showing off in the swimming pool is much better than missing a workout.

How to carry out the Shredded (Fat Loss) training

Do giant sets and super sets, with no rest in between sets, do three exercises one after the other in giant set and two exercises one after the other in super set.

  • When you do the 12-10-8 reps, that means:
    1. In your first set, you should choose a weight in which you fail in the 12 rep range.
    2. In your second set, pick a weight in which you fail in the 10 rep range.
    3. Your third set, in which you fail in the 8 rep range.
  • Speed: Lift under control; Do not just throw around weights. Take 1 second to lift the weight and 1 second to 2 seconds to lower the weight.
  • Rest Period: Rest about 60 seconds to 90 seconds between each giant set, super set, drop set and extended set, and rest 2 to 3 minutes between the muscle groups.

Nothing will boost your metabolism more effectively than the challenging workouts given above! These face-pace workouts are definitely for fat loss, cut-up and getting lean.

Shredded (Fat Loss) Nutrition and Supplements

Shredded (Fat Loss) Nutrition and Supplements, burn your fat at an extremely efficient rate. It keeps your metabolism at an optimal rate throughout the diet, promote optimal recovery, maintain your muscle mass. The Shredded (Fat Loss) diet also emphasize your ability to maintain a high energy level in Gym.

Nutrient and micronutrient balance

If you don’t provide your body with the proper balance of macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), you’ll never reach your goal of becoming shredded.

In other words, if you try to get your body to burn fat by starving it of one or more nutrients, you’ll hit a plateau in a head on collision that won’t be easy to recover from.

The intention is to include everything in your diet to keep your body running at 100 percent of its potential, and this in return will reward you by maintaining a high metabolic rate.

Let’s analyze the concepts:

Macronutrients (Proteins, Carbs, Fats)

Proteins

You’ll find plenty of protein in this “Shredded (Fat Loss) Diet Plan”, with each meal packed with the important food source.

Many people make the mistake of reducing their protein intake, protein is one of the most essential things1, without enough protein you will lose your muscle mass at an extremely high rate and sabotage the fat burning efforts.

Carbs

All your carbohydrates will come from fibrous sources.

Unless you’re taking in your post-workout shake, you won’t be allowed any simpler sources. Its role is to reduce protein, maintain energy levels in the gym, and also involves the release of insulin after a workout.

Remember, your body releases cortisol at an incredible rate after a workout! Cortisol has been proven to reduce the production of thyroid hormone2, the lower your production in this area, the slower your metabolic rate.

Fats

Those who say that all fats are bad for you are, of course, dangerously incorrect.

As it turns out, if you want to prevent cancer, plant-based fats are powerful cancer-fighters3. If you are currently battling colon cancer, prostate cancer or breast cancer, it is essential to include plant-based fats in your diet on a daily basis.

Healthy fats include extra-virgin olive oil, flax seed oil, and fats from plant sources such as nuts, seeds, peanut butter and coconut. They also improve your heart health (cardiovascular health) and fight weight gain and obesity.

Micronutrients (Vitamins and Minerals)

A game that many athletes play with their diet is their regular intake of vitamins.

In other words, they take them when they want to, and that’s a rarity! You need to take a multivitamin and multimineral every day without fail.

National Institutes of Health in 2006 and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Health and Americans concluded that there was not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of any vitamins, including multivitamins, to prevent heart disease, cancer, and other chronic conditions. 4 5

Observational studies have looked at possible links between multivitamin use and cancer. The Physicians’ Health Study II nudges evidence in the direction of benefit for a standard multivitamin—multimineral.5

Essential Supplements

Emphasize three or four essential supplements that everyone should be taking during the 6 Week Shredded Program. The list could more, but suffice it to say that the concepts below are vital to your success!

If you take into account each of the micro and macro nutrients, and give them their due, you will get the following from the diet:

  • A high metabolic rate in throughout whole diet
  • Give better pump in the gym
  • You’ll potentially maintain all your muscles
  • Get recover fast
  • You will feel more refreshed
  • You won’t be as sore

1. Multivitamins

As multivitamins help support macronutrient requirements, you should start the day with a good natural multivitamin and mineral supplement.

It is supposed to support overall health and wellness, boost energy levels and help muscles recover from workouts. The best time to take a multivitamin is in the morning.

2. Whey Protein Isolate

The next supplement that highly recommends to everyone is a high quality protein supplement i.e. Whey Protein Isolate or Whey Protein.

Protein is everywhere. Protein supplements can make your life a lot easier and ensure that you do not miss out on this essential nutrient. Everything you see in the mirror is protein – your hair, skin, eyes and muscles. Protein responsible for tissue growth and repair.6

Protein supplements can be taken at any time of the day when you need a snack or a meal replacement. But I recommend taking a protein shake straight after your shredded post-workout meal to give your muscles the nutrients they need to kick-start recovery and growth.

Note: Remember to follow the serving size as it is recommended for each individual protein supplement so that you don’t overdose on calories.

BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acid)

Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are an essential amino acid that the body does not make on its own.

There are three BCAAs:

  1. Leucine
  2. Isoleucine
  3. Valine

BCAAs are important for muscle growth. While whey protein is rich in BCAAs, consuming additional BCAAs during your workout can further enhance recovery and provide a quick source of muscle energy. As a result, BCAAs can improve workouts and enhance performance.

Pre-Workout Supplements

A good pre-workout supplement will cover the bases with quality branched-chain amino acids, creatine, beta-alanine and betaine, not to mention stimulants like caffeine7:

  • To boost your focus and training intensity
  • Muscle strength
  • Pumps to increase endurance
  • Increase muscle mass
  • Promote muscle growth

For stimulants, the best and safest bet is caffeine. It is one of the most studied sports nutrition supplements on the market and is often shown to improve athletic performance. Not only does clinical research show that caffeine is very safe, but it may also enhance overall health.8910

For performance gains, you need at least 200mg of caffeine before a workout for it to be effective.11

Bottom line

Fat loss, or “shredding,” program involves losing body fat while preserving or building muscle mass. While there are many approaches to fat loss, the key is to create a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume.

Your diet plays a crucial role in fat loss. Aim for a moderate calorie deficit (around 500 calories per day), and make sure you’re getting enough protein to preserve muscle mass. Use a calorie calculator to determine your daily calorie needs and create a moderate calorie deficit of around 500 calories per day. Choose whole, nutrient-dense foods and avoid processed, high-calorie junk foods. Make sure to consume enough protein to preserve muscle mass.

Remember, fat loss is not an overnight process. It requires dedication, consistency, and a healthy lifestyle. Fat loss takes time and consistency. Stick to your nutrition and exercise plan, and be patient with your progress. Track your progress with measurements and progress pictures, and celebrate your small victories along the way.

Adjust your program as needed based on your progress and feedback from your body. Remember to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed to avoid injury or burnout.
