Fat Loss Tips.

Top Fat Loss Secret #1

Exercise is important for fat loss but when you want to burn enough fat so that you can see your abs, diet is the undisputed king of weight loss.

The problem is, you’re bombarded every day with fad diets and weight loss programs that give you conflicting messages – low carb, low fat, the South Beach Diet, the Atkins Diet, liquid diets and thousands more. With all the information floating around out there, I’m not surprised if you’re confused.

What you have to know is that the most important in dieting is to keep your foods as clean, natural and unprocessed as much as possible. Eating too much processed foods almost always makes it unhealthy and completely throws your metabolism and hormone balance out of whack.

Try and eat more lean protein and complex carbohydrates. Instead of eating refined carbs like white bread, rice, pasta and noodles, try and get some whole grains or vegetables.

Instead of eating sugar, try and get your sugar fix from high nutrient foods like fruits instead.

Just remember not to fall for any gimmicks that makes you cut out an entire food group (extremely low carbs, super low fat diets…etc) as your body needs macronutrients found in all food groups to obtain a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Hydrogenated oils are one of the worse culprits in causing obesity today so get healthy fats from nuts, eggs, avocados and organic meats instead.

So stick with the above dieting tip and incorporate that into your daily eating habits and you will be on your way to losing that stubborn fat around your belly.

Exercise with absolute intensity and focus on exercises that work out the overall body to really rev up the fat burning metabolic response in your body.

Instead of doing isolation exercises for your smaller muscles like biceps, triceps or calves, do compound, multi jointed exercises that exercise your overall body and larger muscle groups (legs, back and chest) like squats, push ups, pull ups, and deadlifts for example.

These exercises work out your body much harder and in a more efficient manner. Also, make sure to keep your workouts short and intense, with minimal rest between exercises which causes your metabolism to be boosted sky high.

Top Fat Loss Secret #3

Don’t spend too much time on your abs. Yes, you heard that right!

Losing belly fat and having visible abs is all about getting your overall body fat down, and this is done from a solid diet (Fat Loss Secret #1) and from intense exercises (Fat Loss Secret #2).

As mentioned above, focusing too much attention on a small muscle group like the abs do not burn enough calories or stimulate your metabolic rate enough for you to burn fat.

Instead, do intense resistance exercises that focus on the larger muscles on your body while keeping your ab workouts short and focused with high resistance exercises for them. Hanging leg raises (not how you normally see people do them in the gym) are one of these fantastic ab exercises.
