5 "X" Factors for Fat Loss

Today you're going to discover Tom Venuto's 5 "X" factors that determine your ability lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. Gaining muscle while losing fat is not easy, but make no mistake, it IS possible.

Now here's the truth of his 5 X-factors, and what they mean for you.

1. Overweight people are LESS likely to lose muscle while in a calorie deficit

CB says: That's GOOD news!

2. Overweight people are more likely to gain fat while in a calorie surplus

CB says: This makes TOTAL sense, so you have to be careful with diet.

3. Lean people are more likely to lose muscle while in a calorie deficit

CB says: Uh-oh, this also requires extreme care with your diet.

4. Lean people are more likely to gain muscle while in a calorie surplus

CB says: Whew, more good news.

5. Lean people who starved or crash dieted are more likely to gain fat when initially going into a calorie surplus (fat rebound/overshooting)

CB says: Fortunately, that doesn't apply to everyone, but if it does, again it just means you have to be extra careful with your diet...AND so based on those 5 X-Factors...
 
...Tom has set this criteria for your transformation nutrition program:

1. You'll need to choose your within-week calorie/carb cycling plan from his system

2. You'll need to establish a plan for pre and post workout nutrition on training days

3. You'll determine maintenance calorie needs and set calorie levels for low days and high days

4. These will be easy to follow using his menu templates or sample menus as examples to design your own meal plans

5. You'll then cycle calories by manipulating your carb intake - protein and healthy fats stay relatively constant, while the
   carbs vary (example: 3 days low carb, 1 - 3 days high carb)

Tom explains how to do all of this - simply, don't worry - in his transformation program that you need to maximize your results.

=> Burn fat and gain muscle at the SAME time with this system

Now let's get to it,
