A great article on fat loss

[Adam]

For anyone wanting to understand how the body burns energy, and how that applies to any attempt to losing fat through diet and exercise, I highly reccomend reading this article: http://www.byersgetsdiesel.com/2009/04/science-is-hot-fat-loss-edit...

It discusses why not all calories are equal, why the zone works, and how a zoning Crossfitter may want to change up the diet in order to lose more fat.

Excellent article Adam... thanks for posting.

The comments about sleep deprivation and other stressors effect on cortisol and then insulin resistance are good to hear again. I think those of us who drag ourselves to early am workouts probably would do better on a host of levels with a 28 hour day and those 4 extra hours of sleep!

I particularly like the closing about eventually you can get to the point where you need to balance a trade off... performance or fat loss. I think I saw some of that back in January/February. I'm hunkering down and getting back to tighter zoning after some drifting. It will be interesting to see if it gets me off the weight plateau without plateauing my strength gains. I don't want to be accused of having my focus too much on aesthetics, but I still think carving off another 10-15 would make that first unaided PU come.
