Workout rules

Here are some of the workout rules you need to know for effective results, as per the fitness coach:

1. Coach Kev said, “Weightlifting over cardio 100 percent of the time. You don't want to be 'skinny fat,' right? Then you need to build/maintain muscle.”
2. Try to do three to four times per week of weightlifting. Two-three sets per movement, 6-12 reps each set, taking each set within a rep of failure.
3. Use a proper form; ego lifting makes you look stupid, risks injury, and leads to zero muscle gain.
4. Track your workouts and aim to do more weight or more reps than in your previous session.

Dietary rules

Here are some of the dietary guidelines that you should follow for effective results, as per coach Kev:

1. You'll skip breakfast and have caffeine in the morning to curb appetite.
2. You'll replace all chips, candy, crackers, and junk snacks with: Greek yoghurt, protein shakes, fruit, protein chips, and jerky.
3. You don't need to cook every meal, but each meal needs to be protein-dominant (steak, beef, chicken, turkey, or seafood, being the biggest portion). If you are a vegetarian, then you can consume pulses, paneer, tofu, and legumes.
4. You should consume zero-calorie beverages only (protein shakes are an exception).
5. You should strictly avoid alcohol as it wrecks your energy, metabolism, recovery, sleep, mood, gains, and more.
6. Try to be 500-1,000 calorie deficit each day (including weekends). Use a TDEE calculator from Google to determine this number.

Other rules

1. You need to get seven hours of sleep to ensure your body rests enough.
2. Weigh daily and compare weekly averages. If the average is decreasing, keep going.
3. Measure your waist weekly (if you're losing around your waist, it's working; ignore the scale).
