7 Principles To Get Ripped Big For Summer 2

. CONSUME LOTS OF WATER

This principle might be the most important one and should not apply only when getting ripped for summer. Remember, water is the most important thing our body needs. We are, after all, 70% water. Without it, we cut the transport routes of nutrients throughout our body. That is why it’s essential to always carry a water bottle with you. Even a mild dehydration can have profound effects on your results in the gym, and will inhibit you in achieving your full potential. This especially applies for people who tend to drink a lot of coffee, because it actually dehydrates the body.

. PREPARE YOUR OWN FOOD

There are a number of benefits when you prepare your own food. First of all, you know where the ingredients came from and if they meet the quality standards, and you also avoid all the sauces and toppings containing tons of sugars and preservatives.

Second, it will make the task of tracking your macros much easier. Knowing the ingredients used in your food will enable you to know how many calories you’ve consumed with each meal. Although some restaurants post the caloric value of their food, many do not. And even when posted, you cannot always be sure if they are accurate. So, learning how to prepare nutritious meals in your kitchen will do you a lot of good, not only in terms of shedding fat, but also in saving money.

. USE A FAT BURNER THAT WORKS

Some people lose fat more easily. Others, on the other hand, are not as blessed. It doesn’t matter that they are doing everything right, following every cardio principle up to the scratch, eat only healthy and perfectly balanced food, those last few pounds of fat seem to keep on holding like a bulldog. If you find yourself in this second group, you might want to try fat burners. After all, they are designed for people like you. They might be the right stepping stone that will take you a step closer to your dream physique.

However, you should stay warned, because fat burners are not the magic pills we spoke at the beginning. Remember, there is no such thing, and if the bottle states that they work like magic, you should probably stay away from them. They might do you more harm than good.

As this market is full of dubious if not utterly bogus products, you should pay special attention in selecting your fat burner. It would be even wise to consult some guide that can help you determine which ingredients work the best.

. SET A GOAL

Last, but not least, set how many pounds you wish to lose. Setting this goal – let’s say 12 pounds in 3 months – will help you determine how much you need to lose on weekly basis. It also helps you determine the calorie intake you need in achieving this goal. If you find yourself that you haven’t lost the required weight after a week, you can adjust your calorie intake until you set it right. It will also help you stay motivated and push yourself in the gym.

CONCLUSION

As we’ve said, there is no magic pill that will get you ripped for the summer. However, if you’ve set you mind to it, this process should not be complicated, and it will certainly pay out in the end. All you need is some discipline and dedication.
