Fats actualy slow you way down!
Try intermittant fasting its awesome, i dont eat till after work at all. Just coffee for me and water. Because your system isnt busy digesting food your brain is 100% switched on, focus and energy abound.
I have lost 12lb of bodyfat this year this way. And its realy healthy for you too,its boost your igf(growth hormone) levels by 2000%.
it aslo stabilises your blood sugar levels and is scientificaly proven to help you live longer(google benefits of Intermittant fasting)
Then later on in the day you get to feast like a king! And its the best damn food youve had in ages cos your starving for it.
Im on a -25% calorie deficit and still get to eat like a king, just save up all my cals for the last half of the day.
All my lifts in the gym have pretty much remained the same and i have gone from around 18% body fat to around 14%
A few more months and i'll have the coverted 6 pack back whist retaining nearly all my muscle.
Its not the faint hearted(fairies) but once you get used to it its an awesome way of life. Just think not having the hassle of making brekkie and taking the time to sit and eat it in the morning, just get ready n go. Have bags of energy and focus, be in great shape
and improve all your health markers. Win wni win.
Just imagine how much easier your job would be without carrying around all that bodyfat
