Dr. Zisa’s Fat Burning Program

Fat-Burn Roberto Zisa is a personal trainer, who on the MyPersonalTrainer website described his program for reducing body weight in eight weeks. If some observations are certainly useful for those who want to lose weight, as well as the indication of a not small but adequate time, with a good training plan, to reduce fat mass by favoring the formation of muscles (eight weeks, therefore two months) , other observations could in my opinion be harmful to health.
Sportsman and personal trainer, Roberto Zisa is not a doctor, so for anyone who observed his program or was tempted to follow it, the indication Doctor Roberto Zisa as a signature in the article risks being misleading as far as it is right. Roberto Zisain fact he has a degree in Exercise Sciences: therefore he is a doctor, but not a doctor.

THE PROGRAM FOR THE REDUCTION OF BODY FAT IN 8 WEEKS BY ROBERTO ZISA
The program, from the food point of view, aims to reduce the intake of carbohydrates to promote a state of ketosis . However Roberto Zisa also recommends reducing fats, especially saturated ones, so his is a standard non-ketogenic diet (high fats, normal proteins) but more high-protein: carbohydrates must be reduced to 40/50 percent of the diet (depending on the week), saturated fats must be replaced with “healthy” fats (fish oil, linseed oil, extra virgin olive oil) and in any case do not exceed 20/25 percent of the diet. The rest are proteins.A little too much for those who are not sportsmen: about 2 to 3 grams of protein per kilo of body weight.
Therefore, the diet is immediately aimed at a slimming program for the benefit of active people, and not sedentary people, nor of poorly trained people who perhaps approach intense training precisely through this program.

The carbohydrates to be preferred are whole grains, vegetables and fruit; no to refined foods and sugar; proteins are lean: only egg whites, only white meats or fish and lean red meats. The demonization of saturated fats makes this program the typical one of “gyms”: chicken, egg white, snacks with protein supplements, various supplements (creatine, glutamine) and fiber supplementation, few carbohydrates and low-fat diet apart from the consumption of butter peanuts.
The training plan is interesting for beginners, but it is only aerobic: it starts with twenty minutes of aerobics (of your choice) three times a week, which then becomes 4 a week for 25 minutes, up to 6 times a week for 50 minutes.

The thing not recommended is water: Zisa recommends 4-5 liters of water PER DAY.
Given that fats are kept at bay, proteins are only lean, carbohydrates are few, including simple reduced ones, and activity reaches six times a week and is aerobic, increase water up to 4 -5 liters per day could cause electrolyte decompensation that stresses the body. Be careful NOT to ever do such a thing. We add cardio stress and diet stress and the result is a regimen not for everyone.
It can be useful for athletes who want to have more definition and at the same time they can allow themselves a period of unloading.

Ultimately, the program may perhaps be interesting for those who are already a sportsman, useful for those who are beginners only with the recommendation not to drink like a camel, not to limit themselves to lean proteins but to raise fats and if anything, do a ketogenic cycle, and to increase the fiber with an increased consumption of fruit (optional) and vegetables.
