It is my goal to help you make sense of all the fitness information that
is out there today. So, if you want to burn fat fast follow these 14
tips!
1) Don't starve yourself! It's the worst thing you can do to your body.
Starving yourself actually causes you to lose much more water weight and
muscle than fat.
2) No alcohol. It's like drinking liquid fat! Alcohol almost totally
inhibits your body's ability to burn fat. Plus, it causes you to make
poor food choices.
3) Perform resistance training exercises three times a week. Adding
muscle will burn many more calories all day, every day. Did you know
that muscle is the only tissue in the human body capable of burning fat?
4) Get enough rest. Your body needs time to recover from the stresses
of the day and from your workouts. Without it your body simply can't
perform optimally.
5) Drink plenty of water. Being hydrated plays a critical role in your
body's ability to burn fat and achieve total fitness. If you're thirsty
you're already dehydrated.
6) Perform your cardiovascular exercise in the morning before eating.
Fat is more readily used for energy during aerobic activities when your
blood sugar levels are low.
7) Eat six small meals a day. Your body slows down your metabolism when
you don't eat. Eating frequently keeps you in fat-burning mode.
8) Eliminate simple sugars. Carbohydrates aren't the main culprit in
weight gain. It's the carbs that you ingest from simple sugars such as
candy bars and fruit juices that really get us into trouble. The more
blood sugar in your system the less fat you burn.
9) Eat more fiber. Like water, fiber can fill you up and it helps your
body stabilize blood sugar levels. Good sources of fiber include brown
rice, whole grains and beans.
10) Don't drink your calories. It's pretty darn easy to drink a few
hundred calories in seconds. And we aren't even writing about alcohol
here. Juices and other sugary drinks aren't capable of filling you up
and have significant amounts of calories from simple sugars.
11) Eat protein at every meal. It builds muscle and muscle burns fat.
Plus, protein too helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
12) Plan your meals the day before. You now know that you need to eat
six times a day. It's not easy to do in today's world, but it can be
done. Planning when, where and what you are going to eat is absolutely
critical.
13) Visualize your success. Take 15 minutes out of your busy day to sit
quietly and envision yourself as the lean person that you dream of
becoming.
14) Make a commitment and stick to it. Set your standards high and don't
let outside influences interfere with you achieving total fitness and
fat loss!
