The REAL Way of Burning Fat
This article is about how fads and pills do not work on losing fat and shedding the pounds. It shows the real way of losing fat, at how that is the only effective way. It also talks about the use of supplements and how they have virtually no effect on losing fat.
The world we live in is controlled by the media. Everyone is looking at things like ‘Fat-Burning Belt: Wear it and you lose 6 inches!’ and ‘Drink This Stuff: You Lose Weight Overnight!’.
And, it’s infuriating to think that at least 90% of these new fads won’t work.
How do I know?
They never stick around for much longer than a few weeks. The only ‘pills’ and ‘medicines’ that can help with fat-loss and fitness are SUPPLEMENTS.
And they do exactly what they say. They supplement. They don’t burn fat magically, or make you skinny overnight.
Even more disturbing, I saw so many diets that had EXTREMELY LOW CALORIES and EXTREMELY LOW FAT.
When you begin to starve yourself, your muscle starves too. And then, your metabolism goes into ’starvation mode’.
And then, you stop losing fat altogether. It just doesn’t work.
Actually, eating more, and exercising more actually works more effectively than the vice-versa.
So, I just thought to myself, ‘Hmm, this doesn’t look right. Maybe, just maybe, I should write about the way I lost fat.’
And it came to this.
But before you do anything, ACTUALLY WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS.
Yes, don’t ignore this part because it sounds stupid.
If you don’t have a goal, where are you heading?
Done? Good.
So, here is what I came to: Basic Guidelines on how to REALLY burn fat.
1) Cardio, 45 Minutes, 3-5 Days a week until you reach your goal.
Once you reach your goal, only work as much as it takes to maintain your physique.
2) Muscle Building, 4 Sets of 12 Reps a day. The weight you should lift should be heavy enough to not be able to do 16, but light enough to do at least 8.
DO NOT SKIP THE PART!
Growth of muscle encourages increases of speed in metabolism, which can increase the speed of your fat-loss dramatically.
3) Balanced Diet
Contrary to popular belief, LOW-FAT DIETS and ULTRA-LOW CALORIE DIETS just don’t work.
The way, I’ve found easiest, is a LOW-CARB DIET.
Make sure you have all of these; otherwise the whole Fat-Burning will almost just disappear.
This concept relies on the idea of synergy, in which, 1+1 might not equal 2, but might be 11!
You should be able to see results in 6 weeks.
Extra Tips:
1) Try to do Cardio before breakfast - It’s far, far more efficient.
2) Eggs are good to eat, but try to avoid the Yolk. Only eat one Yolk a day, but the whites are good for as many as even 6.
3) Don’t take a day off and decide to ’skip a day’ because your feeling lazy or you don’t have time.
If you don’t have time, MAKE TIME.
