When most of us think of fat loss we wish there was a magic little pill that would instantly transform us overnight.
Well, maybe there is, but it probably is not exactly in pill form, and the magic will not happen overnight.
In reality the magic is not exactly a pill not does it come from a wand.
In reality, the magic that needs to happen is a change that starts to occur inside of you and slowly evolves your way of thinking, this in turn changes your habits, and your habits slowly change your lifestyle, and this is that magic that is needed to lose the fat.
After all, that is the path that changed your past behavior and that brought you where you are now.
So it must be that behavior that needs to change again starting on the inside.
Just a few changes in behavior, carried out over time, can create exponential results.
To get started all you need is knowledge, that knowledge of two or three tips should start you on a journey that will change your life! The First to Be Reduced: Sugar, Fat, Excess Calories The first bit of knowledge you need to know involved your current eating pattern.
Think not in terms of dieting, but rather in terms of simple changes that you can perform over time.
It would be impossible not to see some changes in terms of fat loss if you took this advice and implemented it in your life.
Even if you didn't change any other part of your lifestyle but this one you will see results.
First, cut out all refined sugars, syrups, and chemical sweeteners.
Cut out all foods that contain them in the ingredients.
This would include refined flours too, white bread, high starch content foods, and foods with high carbohydrates.
Second, cut out all saturated fats, fried foods, and high fat food.
Then limit the amounts of good fats in your diet to one or two portions.
Last, reduce the serving sizes of the food you do eat.
Even if it's for a month, measure and weigh everything you eat and refer to a chart.
This just helps you keep the serving sizes real in your mind.
Increase Your Activity Level The second bit of knowledge involves activity levels.
If you do this, you will also see results.
Even if you do not change your current eating patterns.
If you increase your physical activity daily by implementing several new habits into your current exercise, you can lose significant amounts of weight.
This does not mean that you have to add exercise sessions, it simply means that you walk more, you take the stairs when possible, you park at the end of the parking lot, and you look for ways to expend more energy, and spend less time in sedentary activities.
This will help speed up the metabolism and help burn additional calories throughout the day.
Why Cardio Exercise One of the best workout tips for fat loss may be to increase the cardio workouts.
This means any activity such as running, jogging, cross country skiing, in-line skating, martial arts, aerobics, swimming, cycling, or any other sport that increases you heart rate, makes you sweat, and makes you breathe hard.
This is a short term solution, in that there is a max point during the workout where fat burning levels off or even stops.
And there is a 3 hour phase out afterwards.
In other words, about 2 to 4 hours after a cardio workout, the metabolism and fat burning return to a normal rate.
Why Strength Train A solid piece of advice for fat loss is weight training.
This cannot be emphasized enough.
You do not need to pump iron and try to look like body builders you see on television commercials.
You need to build lean muscle mass.
This lean muscle mass then burns up fat stores and calories like an SUV burns gas.
And the effects do not level off.
The more lean muscle mass and strength you have, the higher your fat burning potential is.
This is why it is crucial for effective fat loss.
