Here’s what’s in the March 2015 issue of Men’s Fitness

Want to know the key to getting lean and staying that way? More time to train, perhaps? More money to buy fancy kit or food? No. It’s knowledge. If you know what you’re doing, you can get and stay ripped – permanently.

A lot of people are so desperate to lose weight, they’re prepared to try anything – and that often means they start following a plan without understanding its basic principles. Ask your friend who’s trying 5:2 why the diet works, or your brother, who went Paleo overnight, how it’s affecting his hormonal balance. Chances are they won’t know.

That’s not to say neither diet works. In fact, a recent study (which you can read about in this issue) has proven that many popular plans will help you shift fat. But if you can’t stick to it, you’ll put the fat back on. According to a University of Pennsylvania study, 65% of us return to our pre-diet weight within three years.

Lucky you, then – as this month's MF has the solution. And that’s because MF believes that if you teach a man how to get lean, you can keep him lean for a lifetime.

So don’t force yourself to stick to a restrictive, short-term eating plan. This month we reveal the fat-burning foods that should become staples of your diet from now on (and they’re almost certainly not the ones you expect). We explain how adopting a simple style of training can turn all your sessions into body fat massacres, and how all your daily activities – from sleeping to commuting – can be tweaked to torch calories.

But there’s more to MF than fat loss: Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth tells us how he built a box-office body, ex-Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts reveals how training like one of pop’s hottest ladies can make you more manly and, if you want to get away, we’ve got 50 active holiday options for you to pore over.
