Get Busy - Aggressive Fat Loss
My best advice to combat hunger pangs is to keep yourself busy.
Aggressive fat loss differs from other methods because your strategy needs to be so precise that you reap the benefits of a shorter fat loss phase.
What I often see is the reactive aggressive diet, where people eat very few calories for 23 and a half hours of the day, then consume 300-500 calories in a flash. In that scenario, you experience all the restrictions and hunger of an aggressive diet but achieve the results of a normal fat loss diet.
Think of it this way: if you're aiming to complete a 20-day cut with a 750-calorie deficit to reduce body weight by 5-6 pounds, but each day you splurge by eating a bowl of cereal at night, you've effectively doubled the time it will take to reach your goal. Instead of a challenging 20-day diet, it has become a gruelling 40-day dilemma!
Recipe: Fridge-Cooled Whey Protein Porridge Bowl
Microwave 100-120g steel cut oats with water. Add 2-2.5 scoops whey protein and stir. Microwave in 30s bursts, stirring in between, until it becomes claggy. Top with frozen berries or cherries, 1-2 teaspoons of peanut butter and low fat yogurt.
Easy peasy.
