Staff

Yes I know, you just read a strong title and maybe you will think it is a clickbait, but I assure you that it is not so ... Sit down and think with me.

How many times have you said, or heard someone say, during training in the box and in the gym:

“Today I'm pushing like a bull, I'm full of energy!”.

It will have happened sometime, right? Perfect.

And on the other hand, during the days of rest when you do not train, do you ever have the feeling of being fattening like cows in the pasture?

Here, even to this question I am sure that you answered yes.

Do you know why this happens? Simple: you have no control over your diet.

The most common mistakes in CrossFit®

In the world of fitness there is this mythology that you have to eat little, calculate the calories of the water you drink, avoid fats, carbohydrates and all those useless privations that they give you every day; with the promise that you will have a super cover body.

Instead, all you get is just one drastic drop in PERFORMANCE in training that lead you to:

And this tragic list of experiences that you constantly go through could go on and on.

Fortunately, all is not lost: there is a solution. And it is the same that many competitive athletes adopt in preparation for competitions, but that you too can safely adopt from tomorrow into your daily life.

It is a counter-intuitive method that is often ignored because it is convenient. Obviously to the detriment of your health.

But thanks to small and targeted measures, you can go and intervene on the quality of your body and the performance you will have during the WODs.

There is a concrete possibility of reducing fat mass with a consequent increase in lean mass.

You will have the pleasure of getting to exclaim every time you train:

“WOHOOO! I am charged like a bull, today I push twice as much! ”.

You will be able to know and build the foundations of your body step by step by maximizing your food intake and making them effective for healthy and lasting growth.

You will be able to unlock "The point of no return" of your body.

You will have the formula in your hands homemade which will save you hundreds of dollars in "copy-paste" exams and feed cards.

Right now you are thrilled to find out what it is. This mysterious method that over 380 athletes have already had the pleasure of discovering and successfully applying to themselves.

I don't want to keep you on your toes anymore.

This is the ...

Metabolic reset

Okok, for some it's like I revealed the hot water. Something already known and that could be yet another method that doesn't work.

And I'm not wrong, the world of fitness offers something "design”And which then turns out to be the same old story.

But I ask you, have you got to try it on metabolic reset on yourself, following step by step the exact order that your body is willing to support?

Because you must know that behind this method there is a physiological and natural process, nothing invasive or deleterious in the long run.

It is based on 4 simple steps, applicable by anyone who has a minimum of their body at heart and loves to train consistently and want to improve day after day.

I'll list them for you below. So you too can take advantage of it and start immediately to increase your calorie intake, define your body, push like a train in training… without an increase in fat mass!

STEP 1

Take note of the following data:

Track everything accurately for 7 days because you will need the surveys in Step 2.

STEP 2

After measuring yourself for 7 days, you will have concrete data that you can compare and understand if you are ready for a Reset or not.

Now do the calculation of your TDEE o Daily Calorie Need:

Metabolism Baseline + Energy for everyday activity – energy consumed for physical activity

And the result that will come out you can compare it with the calories you actually consume.

Example: you are currently consuming 1500 calories but your TDEE is 1900. You have a problem with your diet.

STEP 3

Define yours Metabolic state with the formula:

TDEI (calories ingested on average daily) / LBW (amount of lean mass).

Compare the result with this table and see which parameter it fits into:

If your Metabolic Status is not good, then it is time to Reset your Metabolism via the procedure from Step 4.

STEP 4

You have to raise yours Settling Point with a gradual increase in calories going to introduce an increasing amount of Carbohydrates.

The increase cannot be defined with a certain formula or a rule because each body reacts differently.

What you need to do is measure your body weight and the circumference indicated in STEP 1 on a weekly basis.

If you notice too much variation in weight and girth gain, lower the calories you are taking in a bit and let your body get used to it.

Obviously, the process should be explored much more, a blog article is not enough. But you have enough elements and ideas to start from to start speaking your body language!
