How to lose 2 to 3 KG of body fat in just ONE WEEK

in #fitness6 years ago

First of all, I highly recommend you do not attempt this, unless you are a seasoned athlete like me.

Two to three KGs, BIG claimes right? Well, their on solid foundation. Welcome to my "normal' horrific, close to hell like race spcific training week. If you haven't come across me before, allow me to fill you in: I am an aspiring age group champion in the world of Ironman Triathlon. So I am an amateur athlete, i.e. no one is paying me or giving me anything to do this...this being to bust my back side training near enough like a pro to battle it out and attempt to win World Championship qualification slots, how? By winning the male 18 to 24 year old age category.

Further if you don't know, so next time you meet someone having a mid life crisis or who has just had a divorce you'll know...

An Ironman triathlon consists of a 2.4 mile swim (3.8km), immediately followed by a 112 mile bike ride (180km) and then immediately followed by a 26.2 mile run, a full marathon (42 km). A pretty long day, for even the fastest triathletes.

So it doesn't take much imagination people who do these just to finish have to train A LOT. Now imagine how much the people who want to do them fast, and possibly try to win do, A LOT, plus A LOT MORE. Get the idea?

So what does this have to do with losing 2 to 3 kgs of fat per week?

Well here is what my typical training week looks like; you are looking at typically 10,000 m of swimming per week, at least 400 km of cycling per week and upwards of 50 km of running per week. The average male burns around 14,000 calories per week just to go about their normal life. I however, doing this get through around 31,000 calories per week in energy expenditure. So that is where what little is left around my waist is ending up. So as you can imagine I am eating A LOT, just to stop my body eating itself to death. I'm fit so can handle this for a number of weeks before it has a detrimental affect.

So yeah, this is my hell for at present, the next 7 weeks. On a side note, this is not smart. If you slip up in your eating and recovery habits (ie sleep, massage, stretching and hydration), you will crumble, and wont be able to sustain the work load. If you are a typical couch surfing weekend worrior, looking for that quick fix, then you're daft. Don't do this, and P.S. speaking as a former fat person, there is no quick fix. Just hard work, motivation helps...but won't get you far. When motivation fails, discipline PREVAILS. I hate this sometimes, don't even want to do it sometimes, but I know that the discipline will carry me to freedom, and somewhere better, somewhere I want to be.

You didn't get fat overnight, so don't expect it to disappear overnight. PEACE.
