Everything I am about to teach can be found at http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/cardiolayman.pdf in its original scientific formatting. In order to fully understand the information presented there, you would have to read the entire article from beginning to end, explore other areas of the site, and have a Bachelors of Science or higher in biochemistry. I'm posting this link as my reference in the following lesson because there is so much baloney on the internet about losing fat (PUN!)
The absolute most effective way to lose fat is the run-walk method. I call it this because this because 1) There's no established name for this technique - at least not yet, 2) its PRECISELY what you do; run, then walk, which we'll get into in a minute.
So here's how it works. Its incredibly simple. Ready?

We all know that to see any growth after a workout, we're going to need massive amounts of protein. But not many understand why so much protein is needed, or how it works. In this lesson, we'll cover protein's function as it pertains to weight training and progress.
The reasons are simple. Protein is made of 20 amino acids, and each one of these has an extremely important function in the body! We need these proteins not just to lay down more muscle fibers after a workout, but also for the functions that amino acids themselves supply.
Of the 20 aminos found in protein, 8 are essential, and 12 are non-essential. Some aminos are considered "conditionally essential". For example, L-histidine is vital for growth and repair in athletes. This makes it "conditionally essential", and thus could be counted as "essential" to avoid confusion. That’s why some people will say there are 7, 8, or 9 "essential" aminos. If you get conflicting information, this is why.
