We wonder if you can be so fit that it becomes unhealthy…
On the next episode of TLC's mind-blowingly weird tv series MY CRAZY OBSESSION, we get to meet America's fittest family — Nick, Callie and their two children. They're obsessed with working out and maintaining muscular physiques, if you couldn't guess!
How obsessed? Well, in the video (above), you'll see that Nick typically consumes over 10,000 calories per day in order to keep up with his extreme workout regimen. Oh, and his five-year-old daughter can lift more than double her body weight!
Benedict Cumberbatch, pronounced Bennenenidict Cumemberbattkch (LOLz!), had a pretty intense diet for Star Trek: Into Darkness! He ate 4,000 calories A DAY!
These are the awful (sarcasm!) steps you have to take when you need to bulk up for a role, we guess. You know, like gorging on fattening foods, going to a physical boot camp, etc.!
If you are trying to lose weight, one of the best and easiest way to cut calories is to see what you’re drinking. Eliminate all the sugary drinks because they are calorie-dense and stick with coffee, tea, water, milk or any other low calorie beverages.

When you are running on a cardio machine, don’t take the “calories burned” number literally. They are usually an overestimation. Use online exercise expenditure calculators to get a more accurate number.

When I began pursing my fitness goals I knew there were certain exercise and nutritional adjustments I needed to make. I was able to be successful because I made habits out of these new adjustments. To this day with any endeavor I have I still follow this protocol.
Making new habits isn’t easy, but once you practice it and get accustomed to a new idea, overtime it tends to stick with you and become second nature. No matter what your goal is, starting with one new habit at a time will pave the way to your success. So, whenever starting out, I always recommend picking up a habit and adapting to it for 3-4 weeks or until it’s ingrained in your mind. At which point, you can then begin thinking about adding on another new habit.
When it comes to fat loss, there are endless types of habits you can make. I will gladly share some outstanding habits that I have used to lose fat and that you can try implementing:
