Step 3: Establish a goal based on BFP

Next on the list is to establish a goal based on your own body fat level. Unfortunately, most doctors and health “experts” still maintain that a high body fat level is healthy! They even say that it's okay to gain fat as we age.

These wei'ght tables haven't been updated in over 20 years. Basically, the government is telling us that it's okay to be fat. However, it's been shown that being even just a little overweight has a very negative impact on your health (see the book Eat to Live).

Your body requires a certain level of fat for staying healthy. This fat is important in regulating body temperature, in hormone production, in storing energy, and insulating organs. But the levels of fat necessary for this "essential fat" are still fairly low: around 4% for men and 10% for women.

So basically, you wouldn't want to go lower than this. But the question is, what is healthy after that?

Most conservative health associations and doctors will say that 15 to 20% is healthy for men, and 20 to 25% for women. But they say this because they also acknowledge the fact that most people are not in good shape.

So, they also have another range for healthy athlete, which is 5 to 12% for men and between 12 to 22% for women. That's actually more where you would want to be. The range for athlete is truly the only healthy range based on what we see in the healthiest and longest-lived cultures in the world.

So what we're coming to is that:

- You shouldn't evaluate your goals by pounds gained or lost.
- In most cases, what you want is to cut body fat and/or get more muscle mass.

In general, most people have body fat to eliminate and muscle to gain.

If you feel that you're too skinny, chances are that what you need to do is to get more your muscle mass while staying in the ranges of healthy body fat I described above.

If you feel you are overweight, chances are that you need to cut body fat and possibly tone your muscles and eventually add some muscle mass.

Remember: in the same space occupied, muscle weighs much more than fat!

So a skinny person might think they're on the right track as they're gaining wei'ght, while all they're doing is putting on more fat. And an overweight person might be frustrated that they're “not losing wei'ght”, since they've been also training and putting on more muscle while losing fat!

So the idea is not to throw out the scale, but really to not rely on it for establishing whether you're on the right track or not.

Step 4: Determine Your Goals

Your action plans should be two folds:

1- Determine a first goal for body fat percentage.

First, you have to set a goal for body fat - one that is realistic for getting started. For example if your body fat level is 35%, then as a first goal would be to get it to 25% or even just 30%. Later, you can revise your goal.

2- Determine a goal on your body “look”

Instead of trying to decide how much you “should” weigh, I want you to think in terms of how you want your body to look? Would you like to be a trim and sexy man with a full six-pack abs? Or do you want to look like you did 15 years ago? Do you want firmer thighs? What parts of your body are undermuscled?

To make it more effective, write this goal down using bullets. For example:

I want to:

- Look sexy in my clothes
- Have firmer thighs and legs
- Have more muscled arms with less fat
- Etc.

Or:

I want to:

- Have more impressive biceps
- Have a more muscled neck
- Have stronger and more muscular legs
- Etc.

This action plan is very important because it gives you something to look work from! It's a very precise tool - much better than any guidelines by pounds or BMI indexes!

In the next lesson, I will give you a specific action plan on exactly what to eat to achieve your goals.
