Metabolic
Surge Rapid Fat Loss
By Nick Nilsson - Review
Review by Rahul
Alvares
A marvelous book on
fat loss, "Metabolic Surge" by Nick Nilsson makes very
interesting reading as well. Not a book for the faint of heart,
"Metabolic Surge" is loaded with the most intense and
effective techniques for fat loss you’ll ever find.
"Metabolic Surge"
is about losing fat quickly. Are you smirking? You don’t
believe fat loss can be accomplished fast. No, I am not talking
of losing ten pounds over the weekend. I am a bodybuilder and
I am not interested in losing muscle and water.
I am talking about
hardcore results in thirty six days. I am talking about training
with techniques so powerful you will be left spellbound as you
watch your fat melt away into nothingness.
When Nick decided to
write a book on fat loss he knew what he was doing. Why the words
"fast" fat loss? If you are a bodybuilder with any experience
in dieting and fat loss you should know that over a period of
time the body adapts to anything. That means your best results
will come mostly in the begining before your body realizes what
you are doing!
I have tried ketonic
diets that gave me great results for about two weeks. Then my
metabolism slowed to a crawl and all my gains came to a screeching
halt. I dropped my calories further only to realize that I had
now slipped into muscle burning and fat storing mode!
My point is that if
you want to keep your gains continuous, you are going to have
to trick your body into letting the fat go, not fight a headlong
battle against it. After all, you are up against thousands of
years of evolution.
Hit, block, dodge,
parry, sidestep, and duck. These are the guerilla techniques Nick
will teach you in "Metabolic Surge" to keep your metabolism
racing and switching in so many different directions, it will
be an obvious victory for your fat loss battle. The key –
and the part I like most about "Metabolic Surge" –
is to keep the body guessing!
Now, if you have tried
low intensity exercises for fat loss then you will know that they
have their limitations too. Nick has included some amazing intensity
training in the cardio section that will most definitely produce
results. Complete down to the last detail, "Metabolic Surge"
includes everything from nutrition, exercises, reps, to lesser
known techniques like "Muscle Rounds," Lactic Acid Training
and even overtraining in a controlled fashion.
The "Muscle Rounds"
was a very interesting concept for me. Taking advantage of the
body in a vulnerable stage, Nick uses "Muscle Rounds"
to actually make quick muscle gains on a fat loss program. That’s
evil Nick! You don’t need a major calorie deficit on this
program. That is because Nick effectively manages to manipulate
body hormones to keep the body in a permanent fat loss mode.
The only drawback to
"Metabolic Surge" is that is a very intensive program.
Though Nick has also included a preparatory section for the novice
trainee I still don’t see no old ladies training on this
program.
[Authors Note:
a scaled-down version of the full Metabolic Surge program has
been added since the review. This version is appropriate for a
beginner to intermediate trainer.]
Also the low-carb
approach makes an important feature in this program. I know from
personal experience that the low-carb diet is a difficult act
to follow. Some people may not even be able to do so for medical
reasons. Nick has included a variation for the people who can’t
follow the low-carb method, but I think this will still limit
the results you might obtain compared to using the original program.
"Metabolic Surge"
is the most excellent compilation of fat loss techniques I’ve
ever come across. All the secrets jealously and unfairly guarded
for decades by the best fat loss experts, namely bodybuilders,
are now available in this one brilliant book. A must have for
the bodybuilder who trains with intensity!
