Now, when ever we hear about the word "ripping" , the first thing that comes in our mind is "shirt tearing body with all that killer looks, body to die for". Yes it is possible to attain such phisiq with some dedication and action.
There are few fundamental facts to be known to get a ripped body. And they are:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Dedication
- Suppliments(If the phisiq is either endo or mesomorphic type)
Diet:
Diet is the prime aspect. It is not just dumping some food into the stomach. It is what you are really putting in to gain for the outlook. Addition of proteins and subraction of carbs is the basic mantra. Eating less i.e. intelligent diet for more times in a day will really help. There are a few things we need to ddo initially
- Quit smoking and boozing.
- Not being so sweet (Quit sweets).
- No junk
- Banning of aerated or drinks with added sugar
Following are the foods which are useful in gaining some good muscle and be synergistic in ripping:
- Whey: Whey is a by-product of cheese making, formed when the cheese curds separate from the milk or cream. It is an excellent source of protein. It also helps in reducing or burning fat in the body. Many fitness sources state that whey is also used as an excellent source of energy, and used as pre-workout drink. The best part of it is, it goes awesome with any drink mainly water or milk.
- Diary: Aside from the obvious bone-building and blood pressure lowering benefits of dairy, researchers at the University of Tennessee stumbled on a potential connection between calcium and weight several years ago. Dairy companies became giddy about this research and started putting "weight management" claims on yogurt products and in milk commercials.
While some subsequent studies showed that calcium may help with weight management, others revealed that consuming calcium had no effect on weight.
Clinical trial data may be mixed in part due to the study length or the fact that supplemental calcium, versus dairy products, was used in the some of the studies. Why does the source matter? Because dairy products also contain vitamin D.
- Green Tea: Green tea when teamed up with caffiene acts as the best energy expenditure drink. It goes pretty well even in weight management.
- Getting fishy: Fish (faty fish) is an excellent source of Omega fatty acids. These omega fatty acids helps in adding up of good and fat free body. Omega capsules are kinda must during abdomen ripping. They also reduce adipose tissue, most especially in the abdominal area. Studies have revealed that omega 3s upregulate the expression of genes that lead to fatty acid oxidation and decrease the development of obesity.
- Citrus Craze: Citrus is no less in loosing fat and weight management. It helps in shredding all the useless calories and helps in having a healthy skin.
Additional suppliments can be taken under a strong supervision of a doctor or a qualified physical trainer.
