APRIL / MAY 2002 TIP FOR THE MONTH
With summer time approaching, many fitness conscious people want to drop a few pounds and look leaner with more visible muscular definition. Regular workouts, both weight training as well as aerobic exercise are necessary. But unless you reduce your caloric intake, not much fat loss will occur. My practice is learning to stay hungry longer during the day. By cutting down on the size of my meals and stretching the period of time that elapses between putting food in my mouth, I experience the sensation of hunger. And when I do, I do not eat immediately, but instead do something else like walk on the treadmill, do abdominal exercise, tense my abdominals and practice pulling in my stomach (this is called stomach vacuums and will temporarily alleviate hunger), or play my harmonica. I always play better on an empty stomach and when I do, I get carried away by the music and forget about eating for the time being. The longer you stay hungry, the more fat you burn for energy. Of course you don't want to not eat for so long that your muscles begin to shrink. When losing weight is my goal I begin to push back each meal by 5 minutes. I also eat breakfast a little later each day. After doing this for a few weeks I'm close to where I want my weight to be. Have fun, Frank Zane Archive Tips:
