How much do I eat on a daily basis? Well it really depends on the day but it is usually no less then 2800 calories. My caloric weekly average is about 3000 to 3100 (the weekends I tend to splurge on my eating, sometimes taking in close to 4000 calories a day). Yet for some strange reason that most people equate to my lucky genetics, naturally fast metabolism or insane amount of training, I never gain weight. Actually if I am not careful and eat less then 2800 calories daily I begin to rapidly lose weight.

But I need to set the record straight right now – I do not have ‘lucky ultra-fast fat burning genes’. Look at my high school photos and you will find it true. I was 230 lbs, sporting a sexy size 42 waist line and  it had been that way my entire life until my first year of college. The summer between high school I stumbled onto a secret diet that allowed me to shed over 60 lbs in 4 months. Now I am going to share it with you all for the low-low cost of $39.99 — I am just kidding I will give it to you for free because I will not make a guarantee that it will work for you. It worked for me and is working for me still.

The Bradinator Diet is the cultivation of several years of experimentation and discovery with what has worked for me and what has not. The diet itself is not complicated, but it can be quite difficult for the uninitiated to work themselves into. The basic concept of the Bradinator diet is simple: Boost your slow-ass metabolism. Now lets look at we can basics to accomplish this:

1) Eat a lot of small meals a day – Anything under 6 meals a day is not going to work. Try eating every 2-3 hours instead.

2) Protein with EVERY meal – It does not matter the source of protein; It can be meat, eggs, dairy, beans, tofu, nuts, etc. Just make sure there is some kind of protein.

3) Do not let yourself enter starvation mode – If you do not eat enough your body will enter ‘survival mode’ storing as many calories as a fat as it can. This does not mean you need to eat more, just make sure you eat regularly to prevent your body from entering this mode.

4) Exercise regularly – I hate to break it you but you need to get your ass off the couch. Diet is good. Exercise is good. Diet and Exercise combined is far, far better.

5) Build lean muscle – This goes hand in hand with point 4. You need to build muscle tissue so you can effectively burn more calories. Each pound of lean muscle burns about 10 additional calories just for having it!

6) (Optional) Track your calories – You have no idea how much this helps. It seems a ton of work at first, but once it becomes habit and your familiar with the general calories of common food items it rarely takes more then 5 minutes a day.

You really need to throw out the old conventions of “healthy dieting” like the food pyramid and three square meals a day. They just don’t work and never did work so stop deluding yourself. If you are at all interested in the detail of the diet, then please read on.
