Premade Fat Loss Plan

Nutrition and Supplement Plan

Here I provide a 2500 calorie nutrition plan suitable for fat loss. You may need to increase or decrease total calories based on your needs, but this provides a starting point. For satiety, it is ideal to have frequent, small meals. You should prepare foods in advance (eg. cook your chicken and rice on the weekend). Just remember, meats are generally safe in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, so past that, freeze them ahead.

For an approximation of your caloric needs to lose fat, I suggest using the maintenance calorie calculator here, and subtracting 500-1000 calories (the lower number if you are within 15 pounds of your goal weight, the higher number if you are 50 or more pounds overweight, and somewhere inbetween otherwise). Then adjust the plan below as needed.

You should expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Although, it is possible to have an initial weight loss (due to water loss) in the first week or two that exceeds this number.

Supplements

Daily

Pre-workout

  • SciVation VasoCharge - take 1-2 scoops 30 minutes to 1 hour pre-workout to improve performance. For best results, take at least 30 minutes after your preworkout meal.

Post-workout

Fat Burners

  • Only add in fat burners after you have a well-established plan that works. Fat burners can increase metabolic rate to help you burn more calories and can decrease appetite helping with dietary compliance.
  • A couple fairly mild fat burners that I would recommend would be (don't take together)
    1) MAN Scorch
    2) Designer Supplements Adrenalean
