Be born with a very spendthrift metabolism
Take drugs that speed the metabolism
Perform a very high volume of exercise

IMPORTANT NOTE: These help explain how some people can stay relatively lean and look “fit” while doing the “wrong things”

Since most of the world’s exercising population
wants to be leaner, what are some specific ways
to achieve a negative energy balance?

Nutritional Disclaimer

Nutrition is important for managing
energy balance and is 73.4839%

responsible for physical change.
Lack of exercise is the major limiting factor
Profile: low calorie intake, weight gain, poor health, disease
Who do we see this in?
Sedentary individuals
Thrifty individuals
Older individuals (primary sedentary)
Think of North America’s Obesity Problem…
The body is programmed to regulate weight.
So why is North America so over fat even in the fact of chronic dieting?
Low energy expenditure and sedentary lifestyles lead to dysregulation. Sedentary,
thrifty, and older individuals share one thing in common – low energy expenditure.
Yes, nutrition makes a difference but we see athletes eating poorly
all the time without becoming obese. Why?
Their high activity keeps body weight regulation tighter.

All this points to at least 5 hours of total physical activity per week – and for maximal G-Flux, perhaps some form of exercise almost every day – with a mix of high and low intensity activities.

Who has time for all that exercise?

Ideas For Overall Program Design
3 types of exercise

that should be in your program:
Strength training
Interval training
Cardio training
Слайд 48

More Advanced Movement Strength training: Should create muscle damage and CNS

More Advanced Movement

Strength training:
Should create muscle damage and CNS challenge/fatigue.

And this is where the benefit comes in as the body adapts with increased muscle mass and strength. Further, the repair process in calorie expensive, leading to an 5-10% increase in metabolic rate that lasts for 24+ hours.
Interval training:
Should create high energy demand as well as depletion of stored substrate. (It also contributes to CNS challenge/fatigue). The benefits of this exercise come after the exercise session as the body dumps large amounts of triglycerides post exercise, uses a lot of calories to replenish stored substrate, and elevates metabolism over the following 12-24h.
Cardio training:
Should burn calories while exercising to “top off” G-Flux expenditure. Further, can help with recovery of muscle damage and CNS fatigue. This exercise does not increase 24 hour calorie burning and alone is ineffective in creating body transformation.

*Tremblay compared aerobic vs. sprint exercise

and the sprint group lost 3x more fat while expending ½ the calories.
*Mougios compared high and low intensity programs and found no significant difference in fat loss, but the low intensity group lost lean mass. (long term a reduction in lean mass would lead to a reduction in RMR and thus reduce future fat loss).
*Utter showed that the addition of 45 minutes of aerobic exercise at 78% MHR 5 days a week for 12 weeks had NO EFFECT over dieting alone.
*Van Dale showed that the addition of 4 hours of aerobic exercise per week had no effect on weight loss.
*Gleim showed that “(Aerobic) Exercise is not an effective weight loss modality in women.”

Trapp EG and Boutcher examined the

effects of three bouts per week of HIIE on fat loss among sedentary young women.
Mean change for the HIIE group -1.51 ± 3.6 kg fat ; -2.5 ± 2.6 %body fat
Mean change for the SS group -0.1 ± 2.3 kg fat ; -0.4 ± 2.1 %body fat
Conclusions: Twenty minute of HIIE, three times a week for 15 weeks led to significantly greater fat loss compared to steady state exercise.

More Advanced Movement The Problem With Cardio Williams PT, Wood PD

More Advanced Movement

The Problem With Cardio
Williams PT, Wood PD discovered that

men & women who logged the same weekly mileage year after year—regardless of the amount—gained weight.
Even those who ran more than 40 miles a week were susceptible. "Your metabolism slows a little more every year, so you need to increase activity levels as you age," says study author Paul T. Williams, Ph.D. "Yet most people do the opposite."
Clearly the effects of aerobic exercise do little to offset this reduction in metabolism. And additional research also suggests that regular running improves your body's exercise efficiency, meaning the same amount of activity burns fewer calories.
The researchers concluded that to avoid weight gain, male runners need to boost their weekly mileage by 1.7 miles every year, or approximately 88.4 miles per year, every year, with female runners having to boost their mileage by 2.4 miles per week or 125 miles per year, every year.

What’s a better strategy?

Do no cardio?
Absolutely not! Cardio is an effective calorie

burning modality – but not to be done alone and not to be done as one’s only exercise.
However, when included in a program that focuses on proper eating, smart muscle-building weight training, and fat burning intervals, cardio can help:
1) Top up G-Flux
2) Improve recovery of CNS

*Bodybuilders, to maximize muscle fullness, should minimize
*Begin with 20 minutes and work up to max of 45
*Mix modalities and work: rest intervals
*Suggested work: rest – 30on-90off; 60on-120off; 90on-90off
*Make sure “on” intervals are done at VERY HIGH intensity
*Make sure “off” intervals are done at VERY LOW intensity
*Select a work intensity that allows consistent effort thru full workout; therefore first few sets should be less than max

G-Flux - Athletes to Exercisers

Not one of these athletes has to

restrict energy intake! They train hard, eat the right things in the right amounts at the right times, and their body comp falls into line with their exercise. This is G-Flux firing on all cylinders.
Recreational exercisers need to take this lesson – by increasing exercise activity, G-Flux increases.
They can then EAT MORE and in doing so, health, body comp, and performance come into line.

G-Flux and High Volume Training

List the reasons why increased training volume,

increased 24 hour energy expenditure, and increased food intake will lead to improvements in body comp and training.
-Increased nutrient intake (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals)
-Increased nutrient partitioning (muscle vs. fat storage)
-Increased tissue turnover and adaptation (breakdown/rebuild)
-Increased ability to work (increased density/super training effect)
Слайд 123

G-Flux Highlights What’s the point? RMR accounts for ??? of your

G-Flux Highlights

What’s the point?
RMR accounts for ??? of your total daily

energy expenditure?
High amounts of G-Flux can increase RMR (some think through the increase in SNS activity and catecholamine concentrations) and 24 hour non-exercise energy expenditure.
These changes can lead to decreased fat mass and increased lean body mass – even at energy balance.
Plus, it’s hard to get to a state of positive energy balance. Why is this a good thing?
Besides decreased fat mass, what else is an elevated metabolic rate good for?

Increased tissue turnover. And increased nutrient partitioning. And this means better recovery and training adaptation.

Because you can eat more food. And because with that more food comes more vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, etc.

70-85% of your daily calories burned come from RMR

G-Flux On Both Sides
G-Flux - both ends of the energy balance

equation
High intake = eating alot (the right amount, type, timing)
High expenditure = Any combination of the following:
High weekly exercise volume (properly balanced)
Genetically high metabolic rate (it’s a gift, folks – send M&D flowers)
Genetically scalable metabolic rate (another gift)
Increased muscle mass (remember 5:1 rule)
Nutritional strategies (calorie costly foods, increased partitioning)
Supplements (ephedrine, coleus, green tea extract, fish oil, etc)
Drugs (thyroid hormones, clenbuterol, DNP, etc.)
