My Diet Secrets, I Have Found Something That Works Wonders For Fat Loss
Diet Secret, I’m Not A ‘Low-Carb Guy’ By Any Means, But I Have Found Something That Wonders For Fat Loss.
By: Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
I’m not a “low-carb guy” by any means, but I have found something that works wonders for fat loss. And it does involve cutting back on whole grains.
Back in December, I substituted more fruits and vegetables for any whole grains in my diet, and I was as lean as I’ve been in years with this approach.
So if you’re trying to lose fat and look better than ever this summer, try this approach.
Here are some easy changes to make.
Instead of having toast for breakfast, have an apple.

- Instead of having toast for breakfast, have an apple.
- Usually, I have a side of rice at lunch instead, I have 1 cup of broccoli.
- Typically I have a bowl of cereal at night instead, I have an orange and an ounce of pecans (or walnuts or almonds).
Think I’m out to lunch?
Check this study …
(For science nerds like me, here’s the reference: Amer. J. Clin. Nutr. 85: 1465-1477, 2007.)
Women on a low-fat diet who ate more fruits and vegetables lost more fat than another group of women on only the low-fat diet.
After 1-year, the low-fat, fruits and vegetables group (LF-FV) lost more weight than another group of women on the low-fat (LF) diet only.
Why?
The LF-FV group reported being less hungry, thanks to being able to eat more food than the LF group.
So you’ll eat fewer calories if you are filling up on fruits and vegetables while keeping unnecessary fat out of the diet.
And isn’t the summer a great time to implement this program?
With watermelon, berries, apples, and cherries all in great abundance, you can satisfy your sweet tooth naturally, while burning fat with the Turbulence Training fat loss workouts at home.
