Great ways to Burn fat fast
Hey there & Hey spring!
Here are few tips to burn fat fast and for good.
* Give the scale a rest and look into taking body composition measurements once you achieve a healthy weight bracket for your age & height.
* Drink plenty of water and remember that for every 8 oz beverage of caffeine we need to replenish by adding an extra 8 oz of water.
* Eat frequently and smaller meals... Eat 4-5 meals every 4 hours. DO NOT FEAST.
* Do HIIT - HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING
* INCREASING PROTEIN INTAKE will increase your metabolism and help to maintain your muscle mass, all of which helps with fat burning. In fact, your body burns more calories when you eat protein than when you digest either fats or carbs.
This may explain why the fat-burning effects of eating more protein were confirmed in a study published in American Journal of Physiology. One group was fed a high-protein diet (just over 1 gram per pound of bodyweight per day) while the second group consumed an amount closer to the lower recommendation of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance). The group eating the higher-protein diet burned the most fat. Vary your caloric intakes and make sure you are eating enough protein.
* RESISTANCE TRAINING helps with fat loss in a number of ways. Weight training itself burns calories. Studies also show that, unlike aerobic exercise, weight training increases the calories you burn at rest for up to 39 hours after your workout.
Plus, the more muscle your body has, the more calories you burn each day.
Even if your goal is solely to lose body fat, you need to train with weights. This will help prevent any of the weight you lose from being muscle.
Were that to happen, your metabolism would slow, stalling your fat loss efforts and turning you into a skinny fat person.
Yes, even someone with anorexia can have a high body fat percentage
* EAT MORE FATS Consuming enough of the good fats will help you lose fat, build muscle, and recover faster from your workouts. Healthy fats also have myriad health benefits, including being good for your heart.
So which fats are "good?" The polyunsaturated ones (especially omega-3s), such as those from fish and nuts; and the monounsaturated kind, such as those from peanut butter, olive oil, egg yolks, and fish oil.
* Reducing your carb intake of sugar and starches-when trying to lose fat will help. Those carbs you do consume should come from sources such as oatmeal and vegetables.
