Top 10 Fat Burning Tips From The Pro Creator
Jan 19, 2017
There are a lot of factors to keep track of when you're trying to burn fat AND maintain lean muscle mass. It's not just about going to the gym, that only accounts for one small part of the process. Have you ever heard the phrase, "abs are made in the kitchen"? Well, it's true. You have to think about all the activities your body engages in on a daily basis, from your training regimen to the fuel you use. Getting shredded is like navigating a mine field of decisions: you have supplementation schedules, nutrition choices, macro counting, picking an artificial sweetener, meal planning and preparation, onions versus carrots, and the list just goes on. Luckily, you have the guidance of 22X Olympia winning coach, Hany "The Pro Creator" Rambod, to help you navigate the waters! Here are Hany's top 10 tips to burn fat effectively:
-
FST-7 is Your BEST FRIEND
When you are looking to lose fat, you cannot stop training heavy and intense. Intense heavy training sessions, especially ones that push as much blood volume as FST-7, burn calories while you train as well as through the recovery process. They also allow you to maintain your hard earned gains!
-
Proper Nutrition
You thought you could get out of this one? Losing fat does not mean you need to starve yourself. To burn fat while maintaining lean gains, you need good quality foods that will fuel your body while keeping you in a calorie deficit to burn fat.
-
Cheat On Your Diet
When you are ACTUALLY following your nutrition plan, cheating is, in fact, encouraged. Have your cheat meal every three to four days. Make sure it is late in the day. When you cheat early in the day, the insulin spike can lead to cravings the rest of the day. Be sure to include foods with higher nutritional value for your cheat meal. This meal should include protein, carbs, and fat. Stay away from eating only sugar, carbs and fat.

Sweeten Your Life
Satisfy your sweet tooth with artificial sweeteners. With Splenda being 600 times sweeter than sugar, and Stevia being 300 times sweeter, these sweeteners can really dress up your oatmeal. Just be aware that too much aspartame, the sweetener in most diet sodas, can cause headaches and intestinal distress.
-
Boost Your Metabolism Instantly
I designed Lipocide IR as an instant release fat burning powder. Measure out your desired dosage and take it 5-10 minutes prior to your fasted cardio. Lipocide IR will provide increased metabolic rate, appetite control, energy and focus, and the powder form allows for faster impact timing, hitting your bloodstream approximately 5 minutes after dosing.
-
Get Your Veggie On
High on fiber and low on carbs, vegetables can be your saving grace when dieting. The fiber is digested slowly and that keeps you fuller longer. Fiber is also great for digestive health. Avoid veggies with a higher sugar content, such as carrots, peas and corn. Instead stick to broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus and bell peppers.
-
Feed Your Pump
Using an Amino Builder like Cell K.E.M. intra-workout will provide your muscles with the anabolic building blocks they need to grow. This is especially beneficial when on a low calorie diet. Cell K.E.M. will help keep your muscles full. High-intensity training sets off a cascade of internal bio-chemical events that can lead to muscle cell damage, but it's exactly this traumatic impact of hard training that triggers the body’s mechanisms for growth and repair. I designed Cell K.E.M. to deliver the key nutrient building blocks needed to maximize this adaptive, anabolic response.
-
Spice It UP
Condiments are OK off-season and pre-contest. When you are off-season, the excess calories in sugary sauces such as barbecue and teriyaki are acceptable. When you're getting shredded, opt for seasonings or sauce options with zero calories. Try mustard, horseradish, low-sodium soy sauce, hot sauce, or spices and seasoning blends without sugar.
-
Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail
You absolutely need a plan. Know where your meals are going to come from before you need them. If you find yourself hungry without a meal, your eating decisions may not be the most rational. Prepare your meals ahead of time. If you must eat at a restaurant, do not assume your meals are being prepared in any particular way. Tell the wait staff exactly what you want and how you want it prepared, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Feel The Burn
Add Carnigen to your pre-workout to add fat burning properties. Carnigen is a four carnitine blend that I designed to help convert fat to energy. When you add Carnigen to your pre-workout, you will physically sweat more and convert fat to energy. To enhance the absorption and to ignite the precise carnitine matrix, Carnigen™ features key vitamins, minerals, and bioavailability enhancers to unleash its dramatic effects. It’s the perfect fat-loss solution before cardio or training. Try stacking it with Lipocide IR powder or Lipocide Xtreme capsules for extreme results.
There you have it. If you want your fat-loss efforts to be fully successful this year, we recommend following Hany's advice throughout your 2021 contest prep. Now go forth and get shredded!
