Starbucks will be the death of me

So I’m out with my family walking through the giant outdoor mall near my house in Summerlin, a suburb of Las Vegas, and we sneak into Dillard’s to warm up our ears a little. Yes it’s cold in vegas. No I’m not a pansy.

All of a sudden I’m overwhelmed by a scent straight from heaven. Pumpkin spice latte aroma is tempting me. Damn you!

I’m usually a stronger man but this stuff is sucking the life out of me.

Must. Not. Succumb.

Damn. Too late.

Well at least my belly is warm now…

Caffeine in small controlled amounts can be a great thing. Overdoing it all the time can damage your adrenal glands so make sure you’re not overdoing it.

That includes that pre-workout you gobble down every night before your CrossFit class.

Ok back to my yummy beverage

Don’t walk. Run! But only if you want to burn fat

The key to burning fat is to stop trying to do it in the gym. Read this very carefully: you are not burning fat in the gym. You are burning sugar. Period.

Now this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as you aren’t expecting to get ripped from doing your squats or walking on the treadmill. So, hat exactly should you be doing to get the fat loss you want? Two things:

1. Get your food under control. Remember this: abs are made in the kitchen. Fat loss is about creating a deficit of energy and the fastest way to do that is by reducing you calories in via food. Stay away from the damn buffet!

2. If you want the gym to be of any help with fat loss, you gotta work! High intensity exercise of any type will boost the metabolism AFTER your workout is over and put you in day burning mode for hours to come. If you’re on the treadmill you better be running on a full incline like a T-Rex is chasing you, otherwise it’s a waste of time.

Stop playing around, work your ass off and eat better and in no time you’ll look how you want to and feel better too!
