1.
Do I have to go on some ridiculous (all-asparagas for three
weeks) diet to lose weight?
No,
not at all. Depending on your diet and fitness level, you
might need to make big changes in your diet (for instance,
if you are eating fast, fried foods). But, if you eat fruits
and veggies, meat and fish, and multi-grain breads and complex
carbohydrates, your dietary adjustments will be minor. Some
of our products recommend changing from three-squares a day
to many smaller meals.
2.
Should I make the move from 3 meals a day to 8 meals a
day?
Maybe.
You should focus on your caloric, protien, carb, and fat
intake. Not how many times a day you eat. How much depends
on your fitness level and your specific goals. Some may want
to reduce their body fat. Some may want to improve athletic
importance. There is research that suggests its easier to
eat less if you have smaller meals spread out through the
day.
3.
What place does cardio have in fat loss?
Not
nearly as much as the conventional wisdom will tell you.
Personally, when it was time for me to drop my cholestorol/fat,
my doctor told me 45 minutes of cardio 3 times a week. Research
indicates this is wrong and inefficient. And for me, it didn't
work nearly as well as high-intensity, interval training.
Steady state cardio not only wears on your body unnecessarily,
it is far less efficient than resistance training.
There
is a place for cardio in a resistance training regimen. But,
it should be variable intensity (one minute of light intensity,
one minute of high intensity). And it should be at the end
of your resistance workout.
4.
I'm a fitness beginner. Haven't stepped into a gym before.
How should I start a fitness routine?
If
you are just starting out, I'd recommend Turbulence
Training. If you want to get a sample, complete the form
at the upper right hand corner of this page. You can always
go lighter and slower whenever your are starting any new
routine. I modify my regimen every couple of weeks. When
I do something new, or something I haven't done in a while,
I'm always conservative.
The
most important thing to do if you are a beginner is to get
started and develop a habit of exercise and diet.
