Melt body fat with a simple trick.

Let’s face it, losing fat is just about everyone’s priority when they’re looking to get into great shape. While bodybuilders may focus a ton of their attention on building muscle, at the end of the day shedding fat is also going to have to be a priority. What’s the use of building up all that muscle if you’re going to simply look big and solid but not shredded?

So this is a message to all bodybuilders out there looking to get into impressive shape. Don’t just look to the gurus in you own world. Take a step outside and enter the world of mixed martial arts, namely, the world of Phil Daru.

I’ve brought up Phil Daru before, but mentioning the man once simply isn’t enough. A strength and conditioning coach with a background in cage fighting, Phil Daru is the man responsible for conditioning monsters like Dustin Poirier, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and a host of other MMA stars. He also knows a great deal about building both accessory muscle as well as functional strength.

Lately however, it seems that Phil Daru has also made an effort to put his focus on how to melt body fat while maintaining muscle mass, something all bodybuilders wish to accomplish. Check out the post below where Phil Daru goes into detail on what he’s discovered and how burning fat can come down to something as simple as meal timing.

Want to know how I dropped 20lbs in 3 months.. Well it may be as simple as cutting calories and timing my feeding to fit my circadian clock. But there’s more to the story I’ve been utilizing Time Released Eating to further facilitate the increases in natural growth hormone release, insulin sensitivity, metabolic increases, digestibility of consumed nutrients, and decreased cortisol. All while maintaining absolute strength and decreasing adipose tissue. Now I know this goes against what we all have learned the more frequently you eat the faster your metabolism will be. But studies show that this is simply NOT TRUE! Looking into the literature I’ve found out that the more we consume food throughout the day and through the night the more the body is under stress thus causing the body to hold on to body fat with decreases in lean tissue. The other major factor is when exactly we actually consume food around our natural circadian rhythm. If you time your foods to be consumed at the right time around your circadian clock you can still get your daily caloric intake and receive all the health benefits of the fast. ____________________________________ For training/nutrition questions & virtual coaching email [email protected] or DM ___________________________________ #Repost @the_issn (@get_repost) ??? The data on meal timing, meal distribution, nutrient timing etc shows that when you eat may be quite important. Total daily intake is of course the #1 dietary factor. With that said, this study showed that restricting the time in which you ate conferred a body comp advantage. Although plasma T dropped. Pragmatic advice: eat enough kcals to feed and fuel your body. Adjust it per your exercise needs and goals. #mmastrengthandconditioningcoach #nutrition #diet #fasting #intermittentfasting #strength #power #performance #health #wellness #instafit #darudiet #darustrong
