What’s a good post workout meal after cardio for enhanced fat loss without any insulin spikes?

Thanks!

last june i took a stand to myself and started to loose weight, to this day im 45 pounds lighter, ( i started at 217, now 172) until january i felt more confident, i went down to a 34 pant size, and now normally wear a L size shirt, when i used to wear XL normally.

basically i just been watching my calorie intake, balance my nutrition out, and cut bad eating habits, then i do interval cardio for 40 minutes every other day on the treadmill. cardio i think was the main reason for my weight loss, i have SOME weights here and there but not much, and i kno all bout wut weights does, by slimming u down wit higher metabolism, etc

but since january, i still continue to loose weight numbers wise, but it seems like im gaining some fat bak, so i want to start weight training on a regular basis. in order to burn pure fat. i kno i will gain weight but loose fat, if i keep up wut i’ve been doin plus a steady weight plan, how long can i expect to see some decent results. my ultimate goal is size M

I thought so. Until I told my trainer that I had been doing cardio a lot to lose weight but stopped getting results. Thats why I went to this trainer. He charges about $230 an hour so I think hes good. He told me that cardio is really easy to adjust to after about a month and you will stop seeing results, just like I had. He also told me that someone overweight shouldn’t do to much cardio because 30minutes of cardio puts 30min of stress on the adrenal glands which raises cortisol levels and puts even more stress on my body than I already have from being overweight. Which results in less sleep, less energy to workout with ext. He said also that 30min of strength training puts only about 6 to 8 minutes of stress on the body because you only stressing the body when you actually lifting the weight. He went on further to say that weight training has been shown to keep your body at a metabolic spike for up to 72 hours after a workout as opposed to a metabolic spike that stops when you stop sweating from cardio?????

Do you agree with this? I thought Cardio was better????

He said it only burns a few more caloires a min than weight training, but puts less stress on the body and has almost no further impact on you once you stop running.

Another thing he said that when it some to weight loss it primarily involves nutrition and what I do at home. I’m really dedicated to losing about 50 pounds, and packing on some “Jillian Michaels” muscle so I wanted to train with him 7 days a week $230 per session and instead of jumping of that offer he said working out doesnt get you stronger and more “toned” its the resting and relaxing and sleeping thats going to do that, So i’m getting 4 days a week now.

I’m just confused I always heard muscle burns more calories than fat but he said that thats only good in theory. 1 pound of muscle opposed to 1 pound of fat only burns about 12 more calories a day. He said I could do that chewing gum???

Sorry I’m so unorganized on this post, its just, he’s charging $230, hes 22 yo and hes saying all this stuff I didnt know??? WOW I heard he was one of the best, he made my friend lose 72 pounds and she is sexy looking!!!

How to lose fat quickly is a popular topic today. Finding time to stay in shape is getting more difficult every day. It’s easier than you think to stay fit.

3 important factors for losing fat quickly:

Proper nutrition
Proper nutrition has 70% to do with you reaching your goals. If you do not include proper nutrition in your plan you will not reach your goals, even if you workout every day. If you think that all you have to is reduce calorie intake to lose weight, you will be very disappointed with the outcome. Your body will go into a survival mode and hold onto all of the calories that you consume if you drastically reduce calories. You should not cut your calories back anymore than 15-20%. You will burn fewer calories if you eat fewer calories. Spread your calories out into 5-7 small meals per day. You will need to include one of each of the macronutrients in each of your 5-7 meals throughout the day.

Cardio Exercise
Cardio exercise is very important when you are following a program on how to lose fat quickly. To burn unwanted calories and give your metabolism a jump you must include cardio exercise. 15-20 minutes is all that it takes 3-5 times per week to achieve your cardio exercise goals. A high intensity level should be used to perform cardiovascular exercise when wanting to know how to lose fat quickly. You should increase your cardiovascular intensity if you can continue much past 25 minutes.

Weight Training
A ‘how to lose fat quickly’ plan must include weight training. Building lean muscle mass is only possible through weight training. Burning fat faster is an indirect side effect of having lean muscle mass. Even when your body is at rest, it burns fat faster if you have lean muscle mass. You must strive for 2-3 weight training workouts per week when planning how to lose fat quickly. In order to reach your goals you must perform cardio exercise and weight training.
