3 day tuna diet

The best way to shed and shred is cardio, as others have stated, along with a lower-carb (never no-carb) diet. Plus, cardio floods your system with endorphins and makes you feel positive and cheery.

Swimming is excellent for weight loss, especially in a natural water body. I used to swim a lot in a pool, until I read how chlorine wreaks havoc on your skin, hair, lungs, and testicles.

I do jump rope (20 minutes with a HIIT element) and the elliptical. Both are excellent, low-impact cardio exercises. I haven't been jogging in years. I save my knees and ankles for hiking.

The myth is that you need to do an hour of cardio per session. You don't, and it actually hits your testosterone levels if you are too deep into a caloric deficit. If you keep the intensity high or HIIT, you only need 10-20 minutes to burn fat and chisel up.

I think canned tuna is pretty bleh. I eat tuna sandwiches on Friday sometimes (it's a Catholic thing) but I don't choose it over other deli options if I can help it. Plus, as you mentioned, you are flirting with high mercury if you eat it more than 2-3 times per week.

Is that a Tom Brady tip?

No. Predatory fish have higher toxin levels stored in their bodies. They live longer and are larger.

Hmm, if they live longer, aren't they doing something right then? Lol

Not for consumption purposes. Which is more likely to have a cancerous body- a 2 year old human toddler or an 80 year old elderly person?

Tuna isnt the healthiest stuff. You arent supposed to eat more then a can over a few weeks.

Ah, good point.

What freaks me out most is farm raised fish. Who knows wtf they are eating.

Theoretically they're not being exposed to all the chemicals and toxins being dumped into our oceans, so they should be cleaner.

The whole downside of the diet is that you will lose water and muscle, not fat. And afterward, you will gain weight because it is stressful for the body. You need discipline, a calorie deficit, and exercise. Then the results will be long-lasting.
