Fat Loss
Fat loss is achieved by creating a calorie deficit through diet and cardiovascular activity.
Fat loss diets are lower in both calories and carbohydrate than muscle toning diets. Fats are lowered slightly but protein intake is maintained, so the proportion of the diet that is protein is actually higher than in the muscle toning diet.
While carbohydrates are not completely removed from the diet, or indeed any particular meal, they are reduced and limited to slow acting, low GI carbohydrates.
The majority of carbohydrates will be focussed before and after weight training and the portion sizes should be reduced (but not eliminated) at every other meal.
Early morning cardio exercise, at a moderate level, will increase the calorie deficit without having to reduce intake of food dramatically and will help to burn fat while the body is in an un-fuelled state.
