While all of these have their merits the most effective way, in my opinion, is low carb dieting (in conjunction with regular weight training of course).
The beauty of the low carb diet is that it's far easier to eat a caloric deficit. This is for 2 reasons:
- Eating high protein meals are far more satiating than high carb meals. Meaning you'll stay full for longer (I've also found eliminating carbs from my diet has greatly reduced carb cravings).
- On a low carb diet one can easily get ample amounts of the essential nutrients (fat and protein) whilst remaining in caloric deficit (yes you dont NEED carbs).
Meal 1: 250-300g rump steak, handful of roasted almonds
Meal 2: 250-300g taco meat (beef mince capsicum beans and some spices)
Meal 3: Half a roast chicken and a salad (spinach, capsicum and avocado)
Meal 4: Casein protein shake
Workout
Meal 5: WPI Shake (2 scoop)
Meal 6: 250-300g fish, salad, 200g sweet potato (optional, if hardcore cutting go without, if slower cut, enjoy!)
- Each meal is approximately 2.5-3 hours apart except WPI shake which is directly after workout
- Drink a lot of water between meals (not with meals)
- Coffee is allowed, only black
- Supplements: 2-3 teaspoons of fish oil, Multivitamin, Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) and Casein Protein
If you're still having trouble shredding up don't be tricked into doing doing cardio, it will wreck your recovery and you'll likely end up loosing muscle mass and strength. Just throw in a conditioning training day once or twice a week (I'll be posting my conditioning workout here very soon)
