So I picked Jay's brain for some of his advanced "Jersey Shore" fat

loss tips.

And even if you don't plan on competing in any hot body contests

this summer, Jay's tips can help you bust through your fat loss

plateaus and fit into a swimsuit from a time years ago when you

were much leaner (hopefully the suit is still in style!).



CB: Jay, what do you think about post-workout carbohydrates in

a post-workout drink. Do we need to focus on carbohydrates after

workouts when we are trying to lose fat?


JF:
It depends. If its an athlete or body builder type that needs to

maintain muscle mass or even try gaining it while simultaneously

losing fat I usually like protein powder and maltodextrin.


If they have trouble getting or stayin lean, we will go with

powdered sweet potatoes as the carb source in the shake.


Now if they you are the average person that simply needs to lose

fat, I will just have them eat a regular, healthy meal after

training or if they have to have a shake due to time or schedule

issues it will be protein mixed with berries.


With the other 2 cases above as well I like to have them get the

fruit in there too.


Even though your ability to store carbs is higher after a workout

that doesn't mean that pouring sugar into your post-workout

shake won't make you fat. That's why I prefer other sources

than glucose and dextrose and all that junk.


So you still have to choose your sources carefully.




CB: Good stuff. What about the timing? When should we be eating

after training?


JF:
If you are training for fat loss you should be finishing up each

weight training workout with some circuits or intervals.



Those can be rather nauseating and sometimes it's tough to choke

anything down immediately afterwards any way. I usually recommend

waiting 20-30 minutes after finishing up with your intervals before

drinking a shake or eating a meal.




Of course we want to prevent muscle loss when dieting but I really

don't believe that catabolism sets in immediately after training

and that you will be worse for ware if you do not have a shake

shortly after training. You could actually wait an hour and still

be fine.



CB: Thanks J. What are some interval training substitutions

are you using to burn fat fast for your clients?

JF:
Here's one post workout circuit.




Dumbell swing

Dumbell split squat

Seated side med ball throw



Do 20 reps on each.


Do all reps on right side first on each exercise then rest briefly

and do all reps on left side .




Do 3 or 4 sets.

Do this after your heavier strength training. That way you get the

metabolism benefits of the strength work and the interval-like

circuits at the end of the workout.

A tough fat burning workout for sure,
