Yo, what's going on, guys?
Troy here with MuscleTactics.com, chilling out here in downtown L.A.
We got the Staples Center, home to the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers behind
me.
And obviously living out here in Southern California in L.A. - it's a super image-conscious
area, everybody wants to be ripped; everybody wants those six-pack abs.
And yet, we are all human.
We all have our cravings for bad food, so I thought this would be an interesting topic.
I want to dive into what to do after you eat a really, really unhealthy, high-carb meal.
So you have that huge meal that you guys regret
and now you're freaking out.
You're like, "Oh shit, I wonder how much fat did I just gain from that meal."
But I want to give you guys a little six-part blueprint on what to do to basically erase
that bad meal like it never even happened.
So let me dive right into this.
The first thing you want to do after you had that really high-carb, high-calorie cheat
meal is you want to have two tablespoons of white vinegar.
I actually just read this on the one and only Doctor Oz's website, but I read that consuming
two tablespoons of white vinegar right after you've had that really high-carb, high-calorie
meal is going to lower the insulin impact.
Really high insulin levels not directly following a workout pertain to fat storage, so you want
to negate this insulin spike and you can achieve this by consuming two tablespoons of white
vinegar.
Another thing that you want to do after these really high-calorie meals, after your cheat
days especially, is you want to perform high-intensity interval training and that - sometime in the
next 24-hour span.
So when I have my cheat days, I'll always structure doing about 10 sprint intervals
on the following day.
Running sprint intervals is the easiest way to do high-intensity interval training; a
lot of the Science of Abs program is that fast-switch cardio, which is all high-intensity
interval training, and this is the best form of cardio for burning fat.
When I have that really high-calorie day, that crazy cheat meal, I will always make
sure that I do high-intensity interval training that next day to prevent any kind of fat storage
associated with that day or that large meal.
Another thing you can do is you want to have L-Carnitine and fish oil together.
It's been shown that L-Carnitine actually utilizes the fat cells in the body for energy,
but only when there's Omega-3 present, so you want to make sure you have Omega-3 present
in your body.
After you have that crazy cheat meal, have some liquid L-Carnitine mixed with some fish
oil - or not mixed, I should say, but together.
Take a shot of fish oil, take a shot of L-Carnitine and you guys will be perfect.
That way, your body will utilize these fat cells for energy; it's going to prevent any
kind of fat storage.
The next thing you want to do after this crazy cheat meal is sometime in the two hours following,
you want to have a really big glass of hot green tea with some lemon juice.
I always try to incorporate natural metabolism boosters especially on days when I'm exceeding
my calorie baseline.
Say you had a bunch of Pasta Alfredo and you had a 2000-calorie meal with dessert and the
whole nine yards of cheesecake factory - whatever the hell you guys are eating, follow it in
the next couple of hours with a really healthy, natural metabolism-boosting drinks.
So you can do this with a big glass of green tea, squeeze in some lemon juice, help you
aid in digestion, get some magnesium in there, and hopefully you guys will slowly start to
counter back all the surplus of calories your body is consuming.
And last but not least, one of my favorite strategies to negate those crazy, high-calorie
meals is the next morning, I'll have a really low-carb breakfast.
For instance, I'll pretty much just have protein and fat, so I'll have eggs and avocado, or
some type of protein and fat-dominant breakfast, and I'll also take a Yohimbe HDL Pill.
Yohimbe is a crazy effective fat burner when you have low insulin levels in your body,
so by having really low insulin levels present, taking your Yohimbe, your body will go into
fat-burning mode, so hopefully all those excess calories you have that day before, the night
before, are going to be completely erased by this time.
If you follow all five of these other rules and you have that Yohimbe HDL with that low
insulin spiked breakfast, you guys will be perfect.
You guys can enjoy cheat meals; you can eat whatever the hell you want, and you won't
have any fat storage associated with it.
It might seem like a lot, but it really isn't anything too complicated.
These are six very easy things that you could do and you can enjoy whatever you want to
eat.
You can have crazy cheat meals, and if you follow these six strategies, I guarantee you
- you will not have any fat storage.
You guys will actually be able to maintain six-pack abs and get chiseled while enjoying
some of your favorite food.
