The Importance of Growth Hormones for fat loss

Today I'm going to tell you how the amount of growth hormone (GH) in your body can effect the rate you drop fat.

Now don't get confused by the fact it has GROWTH in it's name, it's one of the best natural ways to drop fat. Growth hormone (GH) has two functions..


GH combined with insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) stimulates bone growth and also as a side note can help with muscle growth but the factor we want to look at is the direct effect;

GH's goal is to decrease fat via a three ponged attack 

1. Protein - GH stimulates protein and as we know protein is the biggest fat burner in the body
2. Fat - GH stimulates fat cell breakdown
3. Carbohydrate - GH maintains sugar levels by manipulating insulin and feeding it into the right pockets to optimize use for insulin effected fat loss.

So we know what it does but how do we increase it?

Sleep is the main provider, by getting a solid 7-8 hours sleep you can actually double your GH, Throw in some resistance training early morning and your GH output will sky rocket, go for a weight, band or bodyweight training over the long drawn out process of a treadmill/ XTrainer/ bike. this type of training is majorly effective especially if you do it in intervals i.e 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest for 20-25 minutes. Always aim to hit up some amino acids BEFORE exercise, you can get these in supplement form or if you prefer a more natural source have some chicken, turkey or eggs. 
Regular eating improves the general flow of GH, aim to eat clean food every 3-4 hours over a 12 hour period, go for meat, fish, veg, fruit, unsalted nuts and water. Not only will it keep your insulin levels level but will stop that urge for mid afternoon snacking. Resist a pig out on bad foods like crisps, chocolate, takeaway etc before you go to bed this will decrease GH massively and undo all that hard work you've put in!

These three factors combined will produce so much GH that your body won't know whats hit it's fat storage. Did you know that the greatest GH increase is within your first two hours of sleep!? 

Take these really simple steps and you will have that beach body in time!

Jealousy will get you nowhere!!

Right gonna get right into this because it's been playing in my mind for a couple of weeks now, I seem to have had a LOT criticism recently on my before & after pictures. Comments like this...






Where do these people get off? My clients work hard for their results, really fucking hard and you get dickheads like this!

I spend a lot of time with my clients getting their mindset changed after years of fad diets & slimming club abuse who drip feed them shit advice, deal with low confidence, low self esteem and bad body images, it's takes ONE of these jealous retards to comment to blow all this work and take them back to square one.

'If you have nothing good to say...say nothing'

** BELOW IS AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE JEALOUS PEOPLE **

I understand your first reaction is to attack people who have or who are changing their lives for the better, it's kinda like a reflex to defend your own insecurities, but do you know what your comments are doing to not only my clients but others?

I always ask how's your diet going? Strangely I never get a reply...weird right? Seems the likes of person X has never been overweight & lives for clean food and hard training.

I have been fortunate enough to have changed many peoples lives over my 4 + years of personal training and am now regarded as a fat loss & nutrition expert, on the back of this I was backed up by my clients, ex clients, people who know of my work, fellow fit-pros & mentor. 40+ comments of positivity (and giving me a general ego boost) brings to light the rewards of my 'job'.

The good defiantly outweigh the few bad eggs out there!

Below is the full picture and transcript of support and unfortunate slating of me and Clare.

PS - Don't worry about eating clean eating & working your ass off just breath in... ;)

Seriously? If you think you can change your body shape just by breathing in then why does anyone diet or exercise then?? It's quite clear from the pictures that her body shapes changed quite a bit & if people can't see it then there's something wrong!

We're not losing weight, I drop fat completely different and if you have the knowledge that I have of hormonal balancing, mindset and nutrition then anything is possible...I get result upon result and I like to have my clients in the same clothes/location to highlight - everything is transparent for all to see.

I can honestly say that after my 15 days not only had I lost weight and inches but I felt FANTASTIC I had so much energy and felt great top to toe, the weight is a bonus. It's a lifestyle change and education not a quick fix diet.
