Today we’re here to share with you the cutting process of our client Selmo Santos. When Selmo contacted us, he already had a pretty good physique, as you can see from his initial pictures.

SEE ALSO: SHOULD WE DO FASTED CARDIO? NO!

Selmo’s goal was to get lean, but he was afraid to do a low calorie diet on his own with no help, and was also afraid of losing great part of his muscle gains, which frequently happens to those who do highly restrictive diets. Basically these people only eat fish, lean meat and vegetables, which originates a very low calorie consumption and hormonal production deficits, due to the lack of fat intake. So, what this leads to is a poor distribution of the 3 macro nutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats (especially saturated fat, which is the fat responsible for the production of androgenic hormones ex: testosterone)). With this in mind, Selmo made the right decision by contacting us. Most people who contact us want to get lean in the first week, which normally is the wrong approach. Someone with a physique like Selmos should not enter a deficit without knowing how his body and metabolism work.

In an initial phase, Selmo was increasing his calories for 6 weeks until he achieved a daily intake of 230g of protein, 350g of carbs (30g to 50g of which fiber) and 70g of fat. From the 6^th week onward we begun the cutting phase. Now, after 6 weeks of having started this phase (now a total of 12 weeks of coaching), we show you the results achieved. We used no cardio (and we won’t use it for a long time, at least while it’s feasible to increase his caloric deficit through food cuts). During his first 6 weeks of coaching, we were progressively increasing his metabolism by increasing his macros. This is the only way to increase your metabolism, all the rest are myths! Currently Selmo still consumes 230g of Protein, 295g of Carbs and 50g of fat on a daily basis!! You must be patient!

Not everyone trusts their coach enough to be “marinating” for 6 weeks without losing fat. Most people would have been impatient and would have complained and even given up. So, don’t expect to obtain the same results if your subscription is of just 8 weeks. The more weeks you subscribe for, the better your results with us will be. This is because you give your coach more time to get to know your body/metabolism, which will provide better results in the future. So, the more time you spend with us, the better your results will be. Our methods are scientifically proven and regarding these methods’ application, we assure you you’ll get the best results you can.
