I’m going on vacation in 6 weeks and need to lose a few pounds. Should I
double up on the cardio I’m doing?
..................................................................................
Michael Collins: The biggest key in losing “a few pounds” comes down
to managing your calorie intake.
Cardio and weight training play key roles in fat loss, but your diet
will have the biggest immediate impact.
Before increasing your cardio, let’s zoom in on your eating habits.
Fat loss begins with optimizing your metabolism.
Here are 3 effective ways to optimize your metabolism with simple
food awareness
1) Select high nutritional value foods that are supportive to fat
loss
2) The number of meals you eat (Are you eating 3 squares a day or
“grazing” 5-6 time per day?
3) Timing of your meals (are you eating every 3-4 hours to manage
your blood sugar levels and cravings?)
After all, what’s easier?
Eating 1 less Boston Crème Donut (Approximately 307 calories)?
Or the 40 minutes on the treadmill you’ll need to burn it off?
Now, as far as cardio goes, I'd aim for more intensity before adding
time to it. Here are some
powerful high intensity cardio tips

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
