Getting ripped and lean and staying that way forever is not as complicated as some people make it out to be. In fact, it can be narrowed down to a list of just five things. In this video, I’m going to who you the 5 things that every ripped guy does that you can start doing yourself in order to get shredded and stay that way forever. No more bouncing up and down in body fat after watching this.

To begin, ithelps to dispel some of the mistruths and inneffective methods in which people invest far too much time chasing fat loss and lower body fat levels. These include things like juice fasts and cleanses, not eating after 6pm at night, drinking apple cider vinegar within 30 minutes of waking and doing only fasted cardio. The issue is not that these methods aren’t capable of producing some changes on their own, but they are all short term and likely not able to be followed for ever. Throw in the fact that they produce incremental impacts on body fat levels and fat loss in the big picture and therefore have minimal abilities to make a real dent in getting lean.

Instead, there are 5 science based mechanisms for losing fat that every ripped guy knows that you will need to copy if you want to unlock the true path to permanent leanness.

First, no ripped guy that stays at low body fat levels forever diets. It just doesn’t happen. They have long ago figured out how to remove the word from their vocabulary and instead switched it out for the word nutrition. Though they both have to do with the food that you put in your body for fuel, the longevity of the approach varies greatly.

Diets are short term, temporary fixes. They are often built around an approach to eating that is a big departure from what you are currently doing - often times centering around some form of deprivation. It is not uncommon for a diet to ask you to remove an entire food group or macro from your meal plan in order to produce its weight loss effects. The problem is, attempting an approach like this is almost always going to lead to long term failure since you cannot stay consistent with deprivation based strategies for long.

Throw in the fact that the method you used to get down to the weight and body fat level you are at is often the same method that you are going to have to use to sustain your losses. If you can’t stick to the diet then this is going to lead to you putting back on the weight that you lost. On the other hand, when you eat healthy and enjoy the foods you eat you can stick to that style of eating forever.

Next, you must drink enough water throughout the day. Staying hydrated will help you to differentiate between hunger and thirst and more importantly, prevent binge eating. It also helps your muscles perform at their best which will lead to more productive workouts and having an easier time building muscle. You should drink about one third of your bodweight in pounds in ounces of water to stay adequatlely hydrated.

Speaking of building muscle, if given the choice between a cardio workout or weight training the guy that is ripped will show a preference every single time for the weight training workout. This is due to the fact that they know the biggest key to staving off body fat is to maximize lean muscle. The more muscle you carry the bigger your insulin storage depot is and insulin sensitivity.

Next, you have to prioritize protein intake in your diet. This is especially true when you are at caloric maintenance or below. Ripped guys know that keeping their protein at around 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is a good target for staying lean year round.

Finally, consistency is key. You must learn how to become consistent with your efforts in the above 4 areas if you want to get ripped and stay that way forever. For those that doubt their ability to be consistent, think about all of the bad habits you may have right now that you are very good at being consistent with. You just need to find the things that are healthier that you can stick to to replace them, and they are out there.
