Destroy Fat, Build Muscle, and Get Into the Best Shape of Your Life
 
There is good news in the war on excess body fat. By focusing on muscle growth, which is essential to achieving overall body leanness, you can attack, shrink, and defeat that unsightly, unhealthy fat. Muscle tightens flab, speeds metabolism, powers movement, protects from injury, and burns calories. With Men’s Health Killing Fat, you can get lean while triggering incredible muscle growth quickly and effectively. After 50 years of research, bestselling author Ellington Darden has honed the 30-10-30 method, a unique strength training approach. This training program, paired with superhydration and proper diet, can yield results of up to 40 pounds of fat loss in only 6 weeks.
 
“I got rid of 5 pounds of fat and 1 inch of belly flab each week—for 20 consecutive weeks. And every seven days I added a pound of muscle.” 
- Angel Rodriguez, 121 pounds of fat loss, 20.5 pounds of muscle gain
 
 - Apply the science of thermodynamics as you heat, cool, and kick-start your body to optimum leanness
- Use 30-10-30, a new negative-accentuation technique, for fast strength and muscle gains
- Shrink your most stubborn belly flab and stimulate your metabolism with easy-to-follow meal plans and recipes, focused training, and extra sleep
- Superhydrate your system—sipping ice-cold water maximizes fat-burning
- Get motivated with dozens of inspiring testimonials from Men’s Health Killing Fat study participants
  
“For years I had a classic pot belly. After Men’s Health Killing Fat, my belly is now board flat and rock solid.”

The Muddle Clears Here

Thermodynamics, Science, and a Secret

You want to lose fat. You want to get it off fast. And you want it to stay off permanently, right?

I hear you. Over the last fifty years, I’ve tested, modified, retested, added and subtracted, and finally developed a program that’s designed to deliver those results.

With a practical understanding of thermodynamics, you’ll learn how to bomb, blast, and finally kill your excess body fat.

The program starts with a two-week segment, with women consuming 1,400 calories a day and men consuming 1,600 calories a day. Fourteen days can make a huge difference in the way your body feels and looks. You need focus and compliance to do what the following folks did in only two weeks.

14 Pounds or More of Fat Loss in 14 Days

Bob Smith: 19 pounds

Larry Freedman: 17.75 pounds

Angel Rodriguez: 16.5 pounds

Javier Woody: 15.25 pounds

Storm Roberts: 15 pounds

Allison Spratt: 14.25 pounds

Travis Haystay: 14 pounds

You’re going to meet all these folks and become familiar with their success stories in Killing Fat.

My objective for you is to get a flying start with a significant bang, to get rid of up to a pound of unneeded fat a day—just as these individuals did.

To master this undertaking requires that you harness the science of thermodynamics. Helping you grasp thermodynamics merits a brief examination of some of the teachings of Albert Einstein and Carl Sagan.

Albert Einstein and Thermodynamics

Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the twentieth century. He was born in Germany in 1879 and died in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1955. In 1905, he earned a PhD from the University of Zurich, and in that same year he published four groundbreaking research papers, which brought him great notoriety in the academic world.

Einstein became a professor at the University of Bern and then moved to the University of Prague for two years, and finally back to the University of Zurich, where he became a full professor. The subjects he taught were analytical mechanics and thermodynamics. For a number of years, Einstein directed much of his attention to thermodynamics and helped refine the first law of thermodynamics. All this helped him win the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be transformed, but cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is safeguarded, maintained, and conserved over time. Einstein’s famous E = mc2 is still uncontestable in the confirmation of the law of conservation of energy.

In scientific research, there are guesses, theories, and hypotheses that must be tested, analyzed, rejected, retested, reanalyzed, accepted, and then repeated before that hypothesis is said to be proved. Then, after many years—and much replication—that long-standing proof may be recognized as a law. A law, therefore, represents an unwavering relationship of events under a specific set of conditions.

Over one hundred years ago, Einstein and other scientists authenticated and verified the law of conservation of energy. In other words, energy, fat, heat, and calories are conserved over time. And now we’re using this principle to transfer body fat.

Transferring Body Fat by Albert Einstein

Fat-loss knowledge and practices must be established by examining the physics of heat and the transfer of it. Transfers, according to any thermodynamic primer, begin with the sun.

Animals and humans have no way to capture the sun’s energy directly. But plants can trap solar energy by using it to combine carbon dioxide and water. The product of this combination is a hydrated carbon (carbohydrate). This basic science is as follows:

Plants grow by sun + air + soil + water.

Animals grow by consuming plants.

Humans grow by eating plants (carbohydrates) and animals (proteins and fats).

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats supply units of heat energy called calories.

Calories are stored in the body primarily in fat cells.

Humans use fat calories and transfer heat from them through their skin, urine, and exhaled carbon dioxide to plants, animals, and the environment.

Once you understand the above relationship, the following circular applications are appropriate:

Heat = Calories = Fat = Energy = Heat

For fat loss: Heat out must be more than heat in.

For fat stabilization: Heat out must be equal to heat in.

For fat gain: Heat out must be less than heat in.

Thank You, Dr. Einstein and Other Scientists

The clarity of Einstein’s equations is powerful. Thermodynamics works. It applies in California, New York, Florida, and Nebraska. It succeeds in Mexico, Europe, Africa, and China. It functions on the moon, Mars, and Planet X. But within that simplicity, there are aspects that must be considered and applied.

Back in 1854, Lord Kelvin—and later other scientists, including William Rankine, Max Planck, Einstein, and E. A. Guggenheim—proved that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. Once again, this is known as the first law of thermodynamics. In other words, you can’t really lose any of those four interchangeable concepts—heat, calories, fat, and energy—you can only transfer them. As such, you’ll notice that throughout this book I use transfer and lose to mean the same thing.

For transfer to make complete sense, the word calorie needs defining.

Calorie Defined

Energy from food as well as activity is typically measured as heat and expressed as calories. A calorie (kilocalorie is actually the more appropriate term) is the amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 liter of water by 1 degree centigrade. To help you visualize this, 100 calories would raise the temperature of 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) of water from freezing to boiling. A calorie, therefore, is a unit of temperature measure. It is used to express the energy value of food or the energy required by the body to perform a given task.

The calories contained in the vast majority of the food supply sold within the United States have been determined by scientific studies and are based on:

1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 calories

1 gram of fat = 9 calories

1 gram of protein = 4 calories

Millions of foods have been calculated and labeled. For example:

1 large egg = 92 calories

1 medium apple = 93 calories

4 Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips = 470 calories

Wendy’s Chocolate Frosty = 340 calories

Common physical activities have also been tested in heat-sensing chambers. For example, a 180-pound man would burn the following calories in one hour of:

Cycling (10 mph) = 327 calories

Weight training = 490 calories

Basketball, shooting baskets = 368 calories

Playing tennis = 572 calories

One ounce of fat on your body contains 219 calories. Sixteen ounces, or 1 pound, supplies 3,500 calories of heat energy.

The circular science of heat = calories = fat = energy = heat applies equally to intake and output.

The standard thermodynamic principle of getting rid of fat is to cut calories, produce energy, burn fat, and transfer heat to the environment. Then repeat and transfer again and again.

Killing Fat Adds to the Transfer

You might be wondering exactly where the fat goes when it leaves your body. As we’ve discussed, when you lose fat, you transfer the energy stored in fat cells out of your body and into the environment.

A slightly different response can be found in the December 16, 2014, issue of the British Medical Journal. In a study of how energy is metabolized, researchers Ruben Meerman and Andrew Brown...
