Introduction

Undoubtedly, how to burn fat daily is very popular for several reasons; it’s fantastic for weight loss and also helps you to maintain your ideal weight. It provides you with higher levels of energy without any associated hunger pangs and all these and more benefits come with less stress – it’s sustainable – unlike many types of diet out there. Perhaps the greatest benefit of a keto diet is the long-term health, wellness and well-being benefits. It changes your metabolism, provides your brain with steady and clean energy known as ketones and even reduces inflammation. I’ve been a physical trainer for several years and I’ve come to know what works for majority of my clients.

The level of success that most of my clients have achieved when they embraced keto and intermittent fasting motivated me to write about it. The focus of this book is on the health benefits of combining the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting and exercise to achieve the best results in your health and body shape. Among the biggest benefits of keto diet and intermittent fasting is improved brain health, chronic disease prevention, weight loss, enhanced physical performance, steady blood sugar and several others. I’m convinced that you’ll be transformed by the information in this paper. This book has detailed plans for losing weight and achieving a lean body with keto diet and intermittent fasting. 

In this book, you’ll discover how to make weight loss so simple to follow, it becomes easy to maintain. The combination of ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are tools that can help you achieve your weight loss goals. This is a comprehensive guide on how to burn fat daily. It answers questions like how and why the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can be better than the traditional diets. If you’re new to keto diet or are not sure of what it is, this book is for you. How to burn fat daily works with your body and provides you with all the essential nutrients to keep you healthy and fit. Forget about crash diets, fad dieting, starving yourself and other harmful weight loss methods that lead to failure in your health goals. Let’s begin!

Chapter 1: The Benefits of How to Burn Fat Daily – Ketogenic Diet & Intermittent Fasting.

Keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet. It reduces the amount of carbohydrates consumed by your body. When it comes to weight loss, carbs are converted to glucose in the body and produce harmful after effects that cause a number of health issues, one of them being excess weight gain. When it comes to keto diets, it’s better to avoid the fats that can be easily replaced with healthy fats and avoid carbohydrates that may be converted into glucose in your body. By only consuming low levels of carbohydrates, your entire body gets used to burning fat. There’s no need to cut on fats or vise versa. You get the best results when you keep it balanced. This is also true for the weight loss process when you consume a lot of calories but void of anything that can be converted into glucose and stored as fat. By eating healthier foods such as high-quality meats, low-carb vegetables, leafy vegetables and some unsaturated fats such as olive oil, nuts and seeds, you’ll be able to lose weight while at the same time sustaining your metabolism for healthy body weight.

Also, ketogenic diet can be used for medical purposes. Due to its high fat content, your body will undergo a process known as ketosis. Ketones are produced when your liver breaks down fat from other cells in your body. When you consume too much carbohydrates, these will be converted into glucose to provide energy for your body; that’s why you gain weight and get out of shape. But when you apply the keto diet properly, you can keep the production of ketones at bay while at the same time improving your overall health. Ketone bodies provide an alternative fuel source for use by certain cells within your brain when glucose is not readily available. This allows your brain cells to burn ketones for energy instead of glucose.

You will consume high-quality fats and proteins along with low levels of carbs that will provide you with very little or no carbs at all. Both ketosis and gluconeogenesis are the main processes when your body uses stored fat for additional fuel. When your ketone production is at its maximum, it’s advised that you stop eating carbohydrates completely and limit it to just 5% of your total calorie intake. If you really want to attain the most optimum results out of this diet, using intermittent fasting is highly recommended while at the same time reducing your calorie intake. This is also true for weight loss as well as a healthy diet plan in general. By using intermittent fasting, you’ll be able to boost your metabolic rate. You’ll reduce the amount of fat stored in your body but still maintain a higher level of energy by increasing your brain’s metabolism rate. When you add exercise to this formula, you will trigger several other benefits. When you stay fit and burn off excessive amounts of calories, the rest that’s left will have an effect on its weight. If these extra calories are stored as fat, it will most likely turn into weight loss over time. But when these calories are burned as an energy source for your body, you’ll be able to reduce weight gain and maintain a healthy weight.

1.1 The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is often practiced by those who want to improve their health and lose weight. This is because it offers several benefits that help in both processes.   Intermittent fasting helps in losing weight but also improved your overall health and reduce the risk of developing serious diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer as well as heart disease. One of the most popular types of intermittent fasting is the keto diet, which is a combination of ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. When you combine both intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet, you get the best results out of these diets; this is because they’re both natural ways to lose weight without having any harmful after effects on your body.

When you combine ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting, you’ll have less intake of carbohydrates and fats. When this happens, your body will experience several changes in a span of a few days. Both your weight and your health get better and even improve in the long run.   Your insulin levels will get reduced when you apply this diet; this means that there won’t be much glucose stored in the body due to low insulin levels. Additionally, since there are no more carbohydrates available for energy, these will be converted into fats instead. Ketones are produced when your liver uses fat for energy instead of glucose; ketones are used as an alternative fuel source by your brain cells.

1.3 What are the benefits of burning fat?

1. Burning fat can result in increased muscle tone.

2. Burning fat can help to produce energy your body needs for everyday functions, all day.

3. Burning fat helps to control your appetite and change eating behaviors.

4. Burned stored fat may lead to weight loss, which can help to improve or maintain a healthy weight over time and prevent obesity from occurring in the future.

5. Burning fat can help to decrease your body fat percentage.

6. Burning fat can help to prevent health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes, by reducing the risks associated with high levels of body fats in various organs of your body, such as your heart and kidneys.

7. When you burn stored fat during a workout, it increases the calories you use during that workout by a significant degree. This is because when you burn stored fat during a workout, it releases fatty acids from stored fats in your adipose tissues (fat), which are then used for energy during the workout. Over time, this will put more calories into your diet as well as more calories into your body’s metabolic processes.

8. Fat burning causes your body to produce a stronger metabolism, which will burn more calories both while exercising and while at rest. When you continue to burn fat during exercise, your body will remember the process that is happening inside of it and continue to do so over time.

9. Burning fat can help you recover from illness much quicker than when exercising for longer time periods without burning any fat.

10. Burning fat daily in a workout session provides the biggest return on investment for your workouts. In other words, it is the most powerful way to burn fat and lose weight without resorting to surgery or harmful diet pills.

11. When you exercise and burn fat, there are fewer fatty acids floating around in your blood stream, which helps to reduce the amount of inflammation that is created when you exercise as well as after the workout session has ended.

12. Burning fat during a workout session can help to build lean muscle tissue during the training process as well as after the end of your workout sessions.

13. When you exercise and burn fat, you increase your body’s ability to use stored fatty acids (fatty acids) as fuel.

14. Burning fat during a workout session speeds up the rate of recovery from illness and disease.

15. Fat burning helps to decrease the risk of depression, stress, anxiety, and various types of mental illnesses including depression.

16. When you burn fat during a workout session, it helps to improve your overall mood as well as your overall health and well-being. Many people who successfully use weight loss programs do so because it improves their overall mood as well as their health and well-being.

1.4 What are the benefits of being lean?

1. Increase your metabolism! The higher your body fat percentage is, the slower your metabolism will be because it takes more energy for the body to successfully maintain an increase in weight than it does to maintain a low weight level.

2. Increase your energy levels! The more fat you carry around with you, the more sluggish and tired you will feel. It takes a great deal of energy to maintain an increased weight because it also requires more food to maintain that same weight as someone who is lean.

3. Lose weight quicker! The higher your body fat percentage, the longer it will take for you to lose weight. On average, a person with a high body fat percentage can expect to lose about 1/2 pound per week; whereas, someone who is at their ideal weight can expect to lose about 1/2 pound per day if they cut back on their calories and work out regularly.

4. Keep off more weight! The less fat your body holds, the easier it is to keep off extra weight. For example, if you currently have a 20% body fat percentage and decide to work out and diet, you will lose about 1/2 pound per week on average. If your goal is to maintain that lower body fat percentage level, which means keeping from gaining any more weight, you will need to cut back on your calories by around 300-500 calories per day in order to lose around 1/2 pound per day.

5. Experience much better sleep! The less fat your body holds, the less likely it is to retain water. In other words, the more fat you carry around, the more pressure it puts on your body to retain water. If you wake up during the night and find that you are having trouble breathing or have a hard time falling back asleep, this could be an early sign that your body may be retaining a lot of water from working too hard to keep itself at its current weight.

6. Reduce joint and back pain! The more fat you carry around the more you put pressure on your body to maintain that increased weight; and the harder this weight gets to maintain, the more likely it is to lead to joint and back problems.

7. Improve your skin! There is a direct correlation between added fat mass and higher levels of inflammation in your body. By losing weight, you will reduce the amount of fat your body holds onto which will impact this inflammatory response in a positive way – making it look better and feeling better too!

8. Enjoy better relationships! People who are lean tend to enjoy the company of others more than those who are overweight because they do not feel inferior compared to their peers. In other words, they do not feel embarrassed about being compared to others around them. And because they feel more confident in themselves, they also tend to attract people who want to be around someone who has a positive outlook on life even though this may not be the case with someone who is overweight.

9. Increase in confidence! When you are leaner, you feel like you can get more done than when you are overweight because you feel like the work is not as difficult for your body. By losing weight, you will start to notice a difference in the way your body performs and responds to exercise because it will become easier for your whole system to respond.

10. Improve digestion! Losing weight helps to improve digestive function which helps to keep the tract running smoothly all the time. Constipation is often the result of sluggish bowels which can be caused by being overweight or carrying too much fat around with us.

11. Keep your body up to date with the latest trends! As we all know, the thin ideal is in again. Men and women alike are looking for ways to look and feel good about themselves which means they are looking to lose weight. The leaner you are, the easier it is to follow this trend and the more likely you will be to be on the cutting edge of fashion.

12. No need for surgery! If you tend to gain or gain a lot of weight when you go on holidays, chances are that it is due to eating too much of the wrong kind of food while away from home because of being tempted by new foods that look better but may not be as healthy as they are painted. If you just tried to follow a healthier diet while on holiday, you would get a lot more enjoyment out of it because you could eat without feeling guilty or stressed from not being able to follow your usual eating habits. In other words, by cutting back on your calories before going on holidays, you can enjoy yourself much more and not have to worry about dieting when you get home.

13. Save money! Slimmer people eat less food than overweight or obese people; therefore, they spend less money. By eating less, you spend less which means you still have money to take a vacation without feeling bad about spending too much money in one place.

14. Get more out of your workouts! Overweight people experience the worst results from their workouts because it is harder for their body to respond to exercise; whereas, leaner people get better results because their body works more efficiently.

15. Find a mate! Studies show that men and women who are not overweight are much more likely to get married than those who are overweight or obese. This is because most people want someone who is the same weight as they are or near it, which leaves very few options for overweight individuals to choose from when looking for a mate.

1.5 What to consider before beginning weight loss and what to expect

It’s not easy to burn fat, but it can be done through dedication and consideration. Some of the things you should consider before beginning any weight loss program include:

A) Your lifestyle: are you sedentary? work all day? Have a high physical job?

B) Your diet: are you eating healthy, clean food or lots of fast food and junk food?

C) Are your thoughts negative or positive about your life situation. Positive thoughts lead to positive action that in turn leads to success. Negative thoughts lead to negative action which leads to failure. Remember each individual is in control over their own success or failure.

What to expect from your weight loss program?

D) Weight loss may be from 5 lbs. to 10 lbs. every week, depending on your initial weight and how much you are eating.

E) Your skin might look flushed or appear a little darker than usual. This is due to the increase in blood flow from your heart working harder.

F) You might notice that you are slightly short of breath. This is normal because your heart is pumping more blood to your tissues, so they can burn fat for energy.

G) You might notice that you are hungry more often, especially in the evenings. This is also because your body is burning more fat for energy. Not eating enough can lead to bingeing.

How to eat when you lose weight?

H) Eat lean protein such as chicken or fish at every meal and a generous serving of vegetables at every meal, especially if you are fat adapted which includes some whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat bread and pasta. If you are not fat adapted you may have to increase other carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables, beans, legumes etc.

I) Drink plenty (at least 8 glasses) of clean water a day.

J) Never eat past your comfort zone.

K) Always drink plenty of water.

L) Do not restrict calories too low or too high. Eat to maintain rather than lose weight, because the body tends to hold onto fat which is more dangerous for health than losing it. When losing weight try to eat small meals in between larger meals with adequate protein and vegetables but do not deprive yourself of calories, so you do not binge on junk food later in the day; this can lead to binge eating which is bad for your health and can result in obesity and diabetes.

Losing weight takes discipline and commitment; you will need to make changes to your daily life. It’s not easy, but it will be worth it. Here are some tips that I can give you:

1) Don’t compare yourself with others (+25% of immigrants who immigrated to the US during the last decade have not been able to maintain their weight since they arrived). Weight loss is not something that must be shared by everyone.

2) Don’t get discouraged too quickly: no one is perfect and you should praise yourself for your effort and continuing on with your weight loss program, even if something goes wrong once in a while.

3) Don’t feel like you are on your own. There are many people who are suffering from obesity and weight problems, but there is only one solution to solve this problem which is eating healthy and exercising. If you have a good support system then your weight loss journey will be much easier.

4) Don’t go for shortcuts. You should educate yourself if you want to change your lifestyle. My best advice would be to stop eating junk food and the like, make new friends from different walks of life and get involved in activities that will enrich your life as well as keep you fit: golf, basketball, dancing or any other physical activity that will build up muscle tone (not fat).

5) Exercise on a regular basis. This is a must. Do it even if it’s just a twenty minutes’ walk. You will be amazed at how beneficial it can be to your health and to your weight loss program.

6) Most importantly, don’t let anyone know about your weight loss program. There are many people who tend to be cruel and think that any failure is a sign of weakness. You will require all the support that you can get if you want to see results, so don’t tell anyone even your closest friend.

Keep in mind that no quick fix solution will work for weight loss. You should consider each individual health problem and try to apply a solution for it. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me!

Chapter 2: How do I go about it?

2.1 Common mistakes people make when attempting to lose weight

1. Focusing on carbs- if you’re not mindful of your carb intake then it may be harder to lose weight.

2. Tracking calories- this is a key part of losing weight because it can show progress, but only if you’re not overeating hidden calories elsewhere.

3. Eating too much before exercise- pre workout meals should be eaten as close to your workout as possible in order for the nutrients to get absorbed and put towards your energy needs

4. Lack of activity- being active is crucial so that we can burn more calories than what we eat and drink which results in weight loss

5. Skipping meals- skipping meals is never a good idea when trying to lose weight. If you do this, your body will go into starvation mode which slows down your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight.

6. Exercising too much- while exercise is great for burning fat, it’s important not to overdo it. It’s best to keep your workout sessions at around 30 minutes at most and then allow for a rest day afterwards

7. Eating low fat foods- fat intake is vital because it’s important for hormone production and brain function. 

8. Packing on the pounds- allowing yourself to eat freely and to not worry about your weight will lead to irregular eating habits. Keep your calories in check and prioritize steady weight loss

9. Not having a good pre workout routine- pre workout meals are important for burning fat due to the nutrients being absorbed into our body’s system in preparation for working out. 

10. Not eating enough- when trying to lose weight it is crucial that you eat enough as this will boost your metabolism which consequently helps you burn fat

11. Eating too much sugar- while watermelon may be delicious, its high in fructose which is converted into liver fat and can cause weight gain causing more food cravings which ultimately leads into excessive consumption  

12. Stressing daily- stress is terrible for your body as it causes your muscles to tense up which increases cortisol levels in the body. Cortisol is a hormone that causes our bodies to store fat and can lead to more weight gain  

13. Setting unachievable goals- when you set goals for yourself it’s important not to make them too difficult as this may demotivate you and cause you to give up prematurely. It’s best to set realistic weight loss goals that can be achieved with consistency and healthy eating habits  

14. Not doing cardio- while cardio is important, weight training is just as essential so it’s vital that both forms of exercise are combined into a routine in order to burn fat effectively  

15. Getting discouraged- the number one mistake when trying to lose weight is getting discouraged. It’s important  to stay focused on your weight loss goals and continue to plan healthy meals.  

16. Not drinking enough water- it’s important that you increase your water intake when attempting to burn fat because it helps flush out toxins and impurities that causes bad odors from the body  

17. Not increasing your fiber intake- high fiber foods help promote satiety, which means you will stop eating sooner and have a lower caloric intake

18. Working out too hard- it is only necessary to workout hard enough so you can feel the burn of muscle being worked out. This will ensure that you are working out hard enough to burn fat. 

19. Going on a hunger strike- eating 3 regular meals a day is crucial for your metabolism and it will reduce your cravings. It’s also important that you eat smaller and more frequent meals in order to maintain your body’s energy levels so that you can burn fat

20. Eating lean meats- it is important not to consume lean meats when trying to lose weight because they contain less fat which means fewer calories are taken in, which results in less burned fat  

21. Not getting enough sleep- lack of sleep slows down the brain function which leads to poor decision making causing more binging on food and snacks causing an increase in weight gain  

2.2 Why the ketogenic diet is a popular method for weight loss

Most people who are trying to lose weight have a common goal: burning fat. When it comes to weight loss, however, there’s more than one way of achieving this objective. The ketogenic diet is one of the most popular methods for weight loss—but what is it? read on to find out more about ketogenic diet and how you can benefit from it! “Ketosis” means “a state in which most or all of the body’s energy supply comes from ketone bodies in the blood,” which are derived primarily from fat. According to a study published in “Nutrition Journal,” the primary macronutrients that are consumed by people who follow a ketogenic diet are fat, protein and low-carbohydrate vegetables. In fact, the main goal of a ketogenic diet is to maintain muscle mass while burning more calories than usual through the metabolic state of ketosis, which happens when there is an increase in the presence of ketone bodies in the body.

When you start following a ketogenic lifestyle, your system will have to switch from using glucose as its main fuel source to using one called “ketones” or “ketone bodies.” Ketones are a type of energy source that is produced by the liver when fat is broken down. This fatty acid breakdown process results in an excess of ketones being produced by the liver – which are then used to fuel your body. The primary benefit of the ketogenic diet is that it helps you burn belly fat while also maintaining muscle mass. It takes 17 days to get into ketosis, which is why you may see quick or fast results when you start following a ketogenic diet. However, this doesn’t mean that you can take off 17 pounds in just one day! The key to weight loss and maintenance success is to have a healthy balance between eating and burning calories through exercise while reducing carbohydrate intake.

A recent study published in the “Journal of the American Dietetic Association” found that a ketogenic diet may be helpful for patients suffering from diabetes, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.  Even after following a ketogenic diet for two years, these patients had no negative effects on heart health. If you’re ready to get started with a ketogenic diet and want to learn how it can help you achieve your weight loss goals, follow the steps below.

1. Avoid all sugary, fatty and processed foods

2. Eat enough calories to maintain your daily activity level

3. Track what you eat as well as the amount of calories that you burn through physical exercise

4. Stay consistent with your eating habits and your exercise schedule It’s possible to lose weight by engaging in the ketogenic lifestyle, but it takes a lot of effort. If you’re looking for a diet that gets you quick, fast and effective results—and is easy enough to maintain for the long-term—then the ketogenic diet may be right for you.

What many people don’t realize is that by following a ketogenic diet, they are actually increasing their energy level. Ketones are a form of fuel that the body produces which can be very advantageous when trying to lose weight. On a ketogenic diet, your body will begin burning fat instead of glucose (carbohydrates). These fat cells will then enter your bloodstream and help provide energy right away. Many ketogenic dieters feel extremely energized after beginning their diet, and it is because their body has switched from using glucose as its primary energy source to using ketones as its primary fuel source.  By following a ketogenic diet, you will be able to digest and absorb nutrients better than you would if you were not on the diet. Ketones, being water-soluble and having a mild diuretic effect, are excreted by the kidneys.  

This helps your kidneys perform their function more efficiently. When your body is using ketone bodies as its primary source of energy, your liver will also become healthier as a result. The liver turns fat into lipoproteins which signals the body to break down fat for energy. The end result of this process is a reduction in your cholesterol, and ultimately, weight loss. Ketosis is not a quick process, and it can take up to two weeks before you begin to feel the benefits from ketosis. You may also experience cravings while you are in the ketotic state of your diet. A ketogenic diet can help control blood sugar and battle type 2 diabetes. Research shows that when people follow a low carbohydrate diet for longer than 18 months, they are able to reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58%.

Ketogenic diets also have been shown to help with obesity . More than 50% of people who adhere to a ketogenic diet manage to lose at least 10% of their excess weight, which often leads to significant improvements in health conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even type 2 diabetes. If you have health conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis, a ketogenic diet could help you to better control your symptoms so that you can continue leading an active life. If you’re looking for a weight loss program that will help you quickly lose fat without feeling hungry all the time, then this low-carbohydrate diet may be right for you.

Chapter 3: What can I expect after losing X amount of pounds?

3.1 The increased metabolic rate

The increased metabolic rate following diet and exercise, the decrease in cortisol that will have a positive effect on sleep quality, mood and energy levels – all these benefits can be yours if you commit to burn fat. Here are the basics of how to burn fat; how much weight should I lose? This is an interesting book about weight loss secrets everyone should know. It’s common knowledge that food has the power to make us fatter. But did you know that food has the power to help you lose weight, too?

How can food be an ally in my fight against fat?

It seems a contradiction – how can something that makes us fatter be something helping us reduce fat stores? It’s true, however. The body is like a machine; it burns fuel. And it can also use up its own stores of fuel. When we eat, we provide the fuel for the fire and it burns. But that doesn’t mean it will burn off all the excess fat. It will burn off excess calories, and the extra fat will remain. Here’s a little exercise before we get started: Let’s say you take in 3,000 calories a day and your body burn 2,400 calories each day. That means you have 600 calories to spare – the leftover 600 gets stored as fat.

What if we reduce the fuel consumption rate?

If we can reduce our calorie intake to 1,800 per day and burn 2,200 calories instead of burning 2,400 calories – wouldn’t that mean that our bodies would use up stored fat? And we could lose weight even if our calorie intake remains unchanged? Well, that is exactly what happens when you decrease your carbohydrate intake. When we consume fewer calories, the body burns up stored fat.

What is less consumed?

Carbs – that’s the first thing to go. Low-calorie diets call for cutting down on carbs – no more refined carbohydrates, sugars or grains. If you only eat foods that are in a food group called ‘complex carbohydrates’, your carbs intake will likely be reduced by about 50%. For that reason, I prefer the term ‘low carbohydrate’ to ‘low-calorie diet’. And fiber is only found in foods of plant origin, so it’s not included in the same food group as carbs. So, you need to start reducing your carb intake by 50% (or more!) if that’s what you want to do.

What about protein?

Protein is the second-fattiest part of our diet and it has no fat. If a dieter consumes too much protein on a low-carb diet, their body will turn it into fat and then store that fat! In order for this cycle to be broken, we need to consume enough carbs to balance out the protein intake – at least 50% of our calories must come from carbs.

There are some who claim to reduce their fat stores better by dropping carbs and/or calories rather than protein. We don’t know why this is the case. It has something to do with the ability of different foods to regulate fat loss, but I have yet to see multiple studies that can definitively prove this. But it seems like something that makes sense, so I prefer the strategy of reducing carbs and calories instead of protein.

What happens when you restrict carbs?

Usually, we don’t restrict carbohydrates because we want to lose weight – but because we get sick from overeating them. When you restrict carbs, you reduce the amount of fuel in your body. Your body will then use up stored fats to meet the body’s needs.

Fats are what you want to lose, right?

Yes, of course. All you want is to burn fat. But here’s the problem: Fat is burned in a different way than carbohydrates or protein. They are burned in short bursts – like a small bonfire. Carbohydrates and proteins are burned in a longer process, like small brush fires that keep going for hours on end. When the body needs energy, it uses the carbohydrates first. Then when there are no more carbohydrates, it turns to protein to burn for energy. After that, it turns to fats.

Fat is burned in a last-ditch effort – after all other sources of fuel are used up. And that’s the problem; why would you want your body burning fats? It just makes them harder to get rid of! So, if you want to lose weight and get rid of fat – don’t just reduce your carbohydrate intake or calorie intake; try to reduce your fat intake as well.

Aren’t fats more important than carbs or protein?

No, not really. All of them are important to a certain extent – but carbohydrates and proteins are of the utmost importance to our nutrition and well-being. Fats are needed for a healthy diet as well, but their contributions to what we eat is not as significant as that of carbs or proteins. If you reduce your fat intake by 50% (or more) along with your carbs and protein intake, you will be taking in the same amount of fat as before while taking in fewer calories overall.

3.2 More active lifestyle

Losing weight is a big step towards becoming more active in your life. This means you will be able to go on walks with the great outdoors, take laps around the pool, get a good workout at the gym, or just start moving around more regularly.

1. Burning fat is not a linear process, so the more weight you lose the lower will be your weight’s “target”. This means someone who lost 250 pounds in a year would not be at that weight forever.

2. You will sustain your new lifestyle after losing weight. This means that even if you stop exercising and eat bad foods, you will still maintain the same amount of muscle mass as before due to the large number of mitochondria in your body. It takes months to regain all of this lost muscle mass as well (anywhere from 6-12 months after stopping).

3. Your metabolism will drop significantly when you first start losing weight, which can lead to other problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

4. Losing weight without exercise will help you more than losing the same amount with exercise. A study conducted by the University of Alabama found that after losing weight, those who exercised lost more muscle mass than those who didn’t exercise.

5. It is possible to lose weight and still be considered obese. This means that it is possible to lose a lot of weight, but still have a lot of fat in your body.

6. It is better to exercise than not at all. A study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh proved that those who exercised had lost more weight than those who didn’t exercise, even though they both lost the same amount of weight.

7. You will feel healthier and happier after losing weight due to the happiness hormones released into your brain from exercising regularly, such as endorphins and dopamine.

8. Your daily activities will become easier to do after losing weight due to your body’s more efficient running.

9. Losing weight close to the holidays will be more difficult. This is due to a lot of holiday parties, family get-togethers, and other occasions that you are expected to indulge in foods over a period of time. Not only this will you be eating bad foods, but they might be really tasty too! It is best if you start losing weight at least 1 month before any major holiday or event that you are expected to eat a lot at.

10. You will feel more confident in yourself and your abilities after losing weight. This means that if you are more confident, people will be more willing to talk to you or ask for advice. This will lead to more social interactions and a better and healthier life overall.

11. You can turn fat into muscle, but it is a very difficult process that takes a lot of time, dedication, and persistence. For every 1 inch of fat lost, it takes the same amount of time for the same amount of muscle gained. Also, don’t expect your weight to stay at the same number after gaining muscle mass due to water retention in your muscles (which is why it is recommended that you DO NOT weigh yourself often while trying to gain weight).

12. Losing weight with a friend or family member is better than losing it alone. This is due to you having someone to talk to about fitness, food, exercises and so much more.

13. A healthy diet does not mean that you can eat as many calories as you want. You can eat bananas, strawberries, whole wheat bread, etc., but if you keep eating foods like these all day long your body will not be able to digest them all and they will end up being stored as fat in your body. Remember: “A calorie is not a calorie!”

14. Exercising intensely for a long period of time will mean that you burn many more calories than just exercising at a steady pace for the same period of time. For example, if you were to run for an hour at 10 miles per hour, you would burn around 500 calories (depending on your weight). If you were to run for an hour at a steady pace of 6 miles per hour, you would burn less than half as many calories.

15. It is more recommended that you do not eat after a certain time than it is to never eat after that certain time. This means that it is okay for you to eat after 8 PM or 10 PM in the evening, but it is not recommended because your body will take longer to digest the food so when it does digest it will store additional fat in your body.

16. It is better for you to go to the gym and run on a treadmill than to just run outside. This is because you will be running on a straight path, which means you will be able to go at a faster pace.

17. Working out in the morning gives you more energy throughout the day if you work out at the right intensity. This means that if you work out at around 50-60% of your maximum heart rate (the heart rate when you are about to be physically exhausted) for around 20 minutes, this will mean that you will be more energized throughout the whole day.

18. You will feel more motivated after losing weight due to the feeling of accomplishment.

19. When you are running, you have to do it correctly or your body will not be able to keep up properly. You can run too fast or too slow, and you can end up hurting yourself, which means that your progress will be slower than it should be and you won’t actually get to lose weight as quickly as you should (you could exercise for 1 hour every day and still not get anywhere).

20. Losing weight for the first time is really hard because your body has never done this before. Your body is so used to gaining weight that it does not know how to do anything else anymore.

Chapter 4: Strength training

4.1 The benefits of strength training

The benefits of strength training for fat reduction are well established. When you exercise your muscles, they need to use more energy (calories) just to work and recover. When they start using that much more energy to do their jobs, the extra calories that your body uses results in an increased metabolic rate – which then leads to weight loss. So, when you train those specific muscle groups that cause excess fat storage by doing strength training, it helps eliminate the excess fat that’s storing there from lack of use.

How to do it:

Exercise the muscles in your arms, thighs, calves, and glutes. To burn more calories and up your metabolic rate after you’re done working out, try high-intensity interval training – like burst training. This is where you work at a very hard effort level (about 90 percent of your maximum heart rate) for a short period (usually 10 to 20 seconds) and then recover for about half the time at a low intensity (about 40 percent of your maximum heart rate). Do that consistently for 30 minutes (three 15-minute sessions), and you’ll see results.

Aim for 3 to 4 strength training sessions each week of the following exercises:

a. Squat

b. Lunge

c. Push-up

d. Pull-up or pulldown

e. Shoulder press (incline, neutral, or overhead)    

So, there it is, my friends.  A short list of the principles I used to lose 80lbs and keep it off for several years now – from a guy who LOVES food and cooking, enjoys beer every day of the week, but doesn’t have a wine glass in his hand in his photos.  I’m not a doctor, just a guy who knows how to eat and enjoy life. I hope this helps you and has a positive impact on your life.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments section.  I’m always available to help those who want it. Keep up the good work, friends.  We can do it!

The benefits of strength training includes:

1. You’ll burn more calories when you’re exercising and after the fact.

2. You’ll build muscle, which helps burn even more calories 24/7 because muscles are always working (even when we’re at rest).

3. You’ll develop strong bones. This is especially important for women, since we typically have less bone mass than men because of estrogen levels and other factors that affect our bodies more than men’s do (men have higher testosterone levels). Stronger bones reduce the risk for osteoporosis as we age.

4. Increased bone density also reduces the risk of osteoporosis later in life. If you’re a 20-something girl that has never lifted weights before, this is still one of the best things you could do for your body.

5. It’s good for your heart health, since building muscle mass and strength helps to burn fat and increase our resting metabolic rate (RMR).  Increased RMR will help improve our cardiovascular health, which is one of our most important objectives as we age (weight loss can have a negative impact on this aspect of our health).

6. Muscles act as an internal heat source during exercise – protecting against cold conditions.

7. Strength training can improve balance, coordination and flexibility.

8. It’s good for your nervous system and improves motor skills, which is especially vital for athletes (such as myself).

9. Strength training makes your bones and muscles more efficient. It’s like cleaning out the garage – making room for new, better things to be stored there.

10. Improves posture, including reducing forward head posture (a common problem due to our tech-heavy lifestyles).

11. A very important aspect of strength training is the mental aspect caused by endorphins released into the bloodstream during exercise; endorphins are a form of morphine produced in our bodies, and they actually block pain signals from reaching our brains!  The more endorphins we release during exercise, the better we feel after exercising!

12. Strength training can actually improve our pain tolerance levels (if you’re working hard enough)!

13. Strength training has also been shown to be extremely effective in treating depression and anxiety disorders – it has the same kind of impact on our bodies as psychotherapy, and works much better than medications in many cases (and is a lot cheaper, too!).

14. Strength training will lead to better posture, which helps reduce injury risk and muscle soreness. Pain-free muscles are happy ones!

15. Avoiding chronic inflammation throughout our bodies is essential for our longevity and overall health. Strength training helps us avoid and reduce inflammation in a very natural way.

16. Increase testosterone levels, which are vital for building muscle mass – especially for men over age 30.

17. By increasing testosterone levels, strength training leads to higher energy levels and improved mood (especially during exercise).

18. Strength training will help you get better sleep – more so than if you were sleeping less!  Just like you should try to eat a nutritious diet if you want to feel your best, so should you exercise regularly if you want to feel well rested!

19.  A study done at the University of Colorado found that when women lift weights, they experience significant increases in bone density, according to the study’s lead author.

20. Strength training also helps to control high blood pressure (BPH), and specifically lowers the risk for developing it.

21. Strength training can help you lose weight and increase your metabolic rate (the rate your body burns calories). This is why weight lifting works so well as a diet method; you lift weights consistently, which keeps you in shape. The more muscle you have on your body, the more calories your body must burn per day to maintain that muscle mass.

22. Strength training is a great way to handle stress, and it’s much better than taking a few drugs to do it.  Strength training actually brings us more of the good chemicals in our brains – endorphins!

23. Strength training is also one of the best ways to deal with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)!  It’s especially helpful for soldiers suffering at the hands of war, as well as victims of rape or other violent events!  A study done at Loma Linda University in California found that by just lifting weights at an intense level (12 reps per set!), many rape victims experienced an almost immediate relief from their symptoms!

Remember, weight loss is a combination of diet and exercise.  It’s not one or the other – you can’t succeed by eating well without exercising, nor can you succeed by exercising but eating poorly.  The best combo is to eat healthy and exercise daily, and the result will be a healthy weight loss.  I can’t guarantee you’ll lose a certain amount of weight, but I can guarantee that if you keep up with these principles, you’ll be on your way to good health!  Do it for yourself.  Do it for your loved ones?  YOU CAN DO THIS!

4.2 How to start strength training

Strength training is a type of physical exercise that targets the muscles, bone density, and strength. It is also known as weight lifting or resistance training. This chapter will outline the basics of what to do, how often to work out and why you should use weights. Strength training is important in bodybuilding because it helps you build lean muscle mass, which in turn burns fat. While cardio is necessary for cardiovascular health, it does not build muscle. 

The goal of this chapter is to help you understand the basics of weightlifting and what exercises to do in your quest of becoming a healthier and fitter person.

Get the Right Equipment

Done right, strength training can give your muscles more definition and increase muscle mass. On a lighter note, it can also decrease fat. The first step to doing this is finding a gym or personal trainer that can help you determine your goals and bring them into fruition with the proper exercises. You need sufficient weightlifting equipment to complete an effective program. Selecting weightlifting equipment is not the hard part. You just need to make sure you are using the right equipment for your desired goals. First off, decide what exactly you want from weightlifting. Are you going to be serious about it and put in the time and effort to build muscle or are you more of a casual type of person?

If you are going to be serious about it as a beginner (or even intermediate) then you will need weights (which can be purchased or rented), dumbbells, and a bench. Just as important as these three devices are your steady hand, proper form, and motivation.  If you need help getting your motivation up, check out some of the interviews I have done with fitness professionals.

Weight Lifting and How It Works

Heavy weightlifting – the main objective is to make your muscles stronger so that over time and with many repetitions, you will be able to lift more. The best way to make your muscles stronger is to lift heavier weights or do more repetitions than you would normally do. To lift heavier weights, most people increase their repetitions because this puts more stress on the muscle. As you get more fit, you will be able to lift more weight and perform the same number of repetitions.

Consistency is very important when working out. It will take time to build muscle, and a lot of people give up before they build that muscle mass. You must keep in mind that this is not instant gratification as most people think when they begin working out. While you do not have the luxury of lying down on a table with electrodes attached to your muscles like many patients in a medical aesthetic clinic would get, there are other options available that can help speed up recovery time between workouts. 

Strength training can be done anywhere at any time. It does not require any fancy equipment. The only thing that is required by most people is dumbbells, a bench, and heavy weightlifting gloves. 

4.3 Benefits of Weightlifting and Why You Should Try It

1. Increased muscle mass which burns fat faster 

2. Builds stronger bones and joints – this is especially important as you age and your body cannot support itself as well as it did when you were younger. 

3. Makes your body look better – well-defined muscles will be more visible in clothes, which gives the illusion of a thinner physique even if there is still fat underneath the skin.

4. Increased metabolism – the ability to burn more fat and calories than you already can. 

5. Improved self-esteem – most people who start strength training feel better about themselves because they feel stronger and healthier. 

6. Increased energy levels – having more muscle mass means your body has to work harder to complete daily tasks, which is required to live a healthy lifestyle.

7. Protection against disease – when you have lower body fat (around 5-10 percent) your body will not be able to support germs and bacteria as well as it could when it has excess fat on it (around 20 percent). Your body will be able to kill off disease faster and protect itself against respiratory infections.

8. Improves cardiovascular performance and endurance – as you build more muscle mass, your heart will have to work harder to pump blood throughout your body. This will increase your heart’s ability to pump blood throughout the body. 

9. Improves strength and speed – as you build muscle mass, you will naturally be able to run faster and jump higher. 

10. Improved posture – having well-defined muscles helps keep your bones in alignment which improves posture over time. 

11. Decreased back pain – having strong abdominal muscles can help relieve lower back pain in some cases because they support the spine better than weak abdominal muscles do.

12. Self-confidence – people who start strength training feel better about themselves because they feel stronger and healthier.

13. Better mental health – being able to make the muscles in your body feel strong improves your self-confidence, which allows you to be more optimistic about life. You will also be able to handle stress better by improving your coping skills.

14. Better sleep quality – lack of sleep can cause mood swings that can negatively affect your overall well-being, but having a strong body means that you may not have as much trouble sleeping at night because you will be able to rest easier and longer.

15. Better sex – having more muscle mass improves your body’s ability to react quickly to muscle stimulation.

16. Improved posture – having well-defined muscles helps keep your bones in alignment which improves posture over time. 

17. Decreased back pain – having strong abdominal muscles can help relieve lower back pain in some cases because they support the spine better than weak abdominal muscles do.

18. Self-confidence – people who start strength training feel better about themselves because they feel stronger and healthier.

19. Better mental health – being able to make the muscles in your body feel strong improves your self-confidence, which allows you to be more optimistic about life. You will also be able to handle stress better by improving your coping skills.

When starting out, you should begin with a lower number of repetitions of heavy weightlifting. Heavy weightlifting means lifting a weight that is heavy enough that you cannot do many repetitions with it. This forces your muscles to work harder in order to get through the workout and because of this, you can build more muscle mass quicker. The first few weeks is all about figuring out how many sets and reps you are able to do while still focusing on lifting heavier weights each time. 

Strength training should be done three times a week. If you are a beginner and want to build muscle you will need to start out with two exercises for a specific muscle group, three sets of ten repetitions for two exercises and one set of 15 repetitions for the third exercise. This gives your body time to rest and repair itself in between workouts.

The more advanced you get, the more sets and repetitions you will be able to do in the same workout. Some people like to do cardio before they weightlift; that is up to you if that is what will motivate you to do it. Doing cardio after you have lifted weights will only use up extra energy and not help you burn any fatter than if you were to just do cardio. If weightlifting is something that interests you, feel free to check some of the interviews I have done with fitness professionals on my blog

An Interview with Steve from Fitness Mad about Weight Lifting and Strength Training

Not only did I interview Steve from Fitness Mad, but I was actually able to go down to his warehouse in London and do some quality weightlifting. Steve has helped create dozens of products ranging from kettlebells, dumbbells and physio balls. I was able to try out his products and take a look at his warehouse. I also got to interview Steve about his background, how he got into the industry and what he thinks is the future of fitness. Fitness Mad also has their own website where you are able to order all their products including kettlebells, dumbbells and physio balls.  You can also contact him if you have any questions regarding weightlifting or fitness in general.

A: “I’ve been working with fitness equipment for over 12 years now, and I’ve always had an interest in strength training. I started off when I was 16 years old.  In those days you only had to worry about weightlifting or body building, but at that time I didn’t understand about nutrition or supplementation. I think by the time you’re 20 years old you can get a good idea of what works for your body.”

A: “People tend to overlook weightlifting even though it’s the most important thing for a strength training program, so I decided to start my own company – Fitness Mad – in 2001 to bring this issue back into focus. You’re not going to build the bulk that you see on body builders unless you’re willing to do it for years. Other people will call it getting big, but I prefer to call it getting bulky. There is a difference.”

A: “I really like working with kettlebells. Kettlebells are a great conditioning tool because the whole body is engaged in each exercise. Kettlebells work pretty much every muscle in your body and because of this, they are extremely effective at weight loss.”

A: “I’ve always been into martial arts so I try to incorporate these techniques into my own weight workouts. I want to be able to do something practical and useful as well as just lifting weights. I’m always looking for ideas to make my workouts more interesting.”

A: “I want to help people get into shape for whatever they are going to do. My clients come from all kinds of different backgrounds, and I try to find out what their goals are before they start working with me. When you decide what you want, then your workouts should be focused on helping you accomplish those goals. If your goal is just getting big then don’t bother with a good fitness program. You might as well join a weightlifting team or just go and get big by doing nothing at all. They’re going to ask you to provide the workouts for them, so I try to give my clients a balanced workout program that they can do on their own.”

A: “I have a lot of people who want to do general conditioning. I also have a lot of people who want to get into martial arts. They tell me that they’ve been doing nothing and they need to get into shape for self-protection. I also get lots of college students wanting workout plans as well. I would say that most of the people I train are interested in martial arts. There are a few that prefer other sports such as football, track, and wrestling, but most of the athletes I train are martial artists. I have trained people that work in construction jobs sometimes and I have even trained housewives, grandmothers, and mothers. Martial arts are for everyone!     With this book you will get everything that you need to start training martial arts right away! I will cover everything from how to find the best school for you to finding the best training equipment and which kinds of training equipment is best. This book will also teach you all about belts and how they work. Finally, you will learn about the best martial arts techniques and their applications in everyday life. For example, there are different types of hand strikes that will work great for self-defense when you’re getting mugged in the street. There are also different ways to apply these techniques on your own without having a martial arts instructor watching your every move. You will also learn how to protect yourself from muggers and pick pockets by using an empty beer bottle, beer can, or shoe as your defensive weapon.”

Chapter 5: When should I start and when should I stop?

5.1 The importance of timing:

The most important thing we need to understand is the importance of timing. Too little and you will not reap benefits, too much and you run the risk of becoming sick. It is best that you listen to your body when starting a weight-loss program. If for instance, exercising too early in the morning makes you feel tired and results in a lack of energy throughout the day than I suggest waiting until later on during the day or evening. The same goes for meals as well. If you are not hungry in the mornings than eat at lunch or have a small snack later on.

That said, the timing is different for everyone, but as a starting point, it is best that you start in the morning with a light breakfast, and have your first exercise session around noon/afternoon in order to stimulate for better metabolism.

“I feel tired.”

Exercise too early in the morning than this may cause you to feel tired and fatigued as a result of low blood pressure. There is nothing wrong with that; it’s just your body’s natural response to waking up early. But note that exercise later on at night will cause your blood pressure to become low thus resulting in fatigue again. This is why it’s important to eat a light breakfast, and have exercise in the afternoon/evening.

If you are looking at losing fat, it is best that you do aerobic activities for 30 minutes or more, if not then you will be wasting your time. And again, start with something light like walking or jogging for about 15-20 minutes. For burning more calories, do more vigorous exercises like swimming, running or dancing.

“I feel hungry.”

Again, this is your body’s way of telling you that it needs food to continue working efficiently so don’t be alarmed by the sensation of hunger. You may want to have a small snack such as fruits (preferably watermelon) after doing some exercise. Don’t eat anything else till your next meal. This is to let your body burn calories and use those for fuel. If you stick to this for a week and start noticing the fat melting off, then you can eat anything you want but note that it will not help further your results.

“I’m tired all the time.”

If this is happening, then it is best that you get up a little earlier in the morning and do some exercise (or better still walk/go jogging in place). As mentioned above, if you exercise too early in the morning then you are going to feel tired and fatigued even after sleeping.

“I feel strong and vibrant.”

This is good as it means you are a healthy weight. Despite my urging, exercising too much is not right for everyone. If you feel that going to the gym every day is necessary for you than by all means do but make sure that your routine includes at least three sessions of walking, jogging or cycling (your choice). That will be enough to stimulate your muscles into action and also get rid of excess weight.

It is also important that you have a good diet for losing weight. It is best that you have plenty of complex carbohydrates (more so in the morning than the evening) and protein-rich foods in the form of lean meat, eggs, milk or fish. At the same time, cut down on simple sugars and stop taking alcohol and tobacco. Moderate your intake of salt and fat too.

“I have a lot of energy but my body is not getting any leaner.”

If you are doing all this then you may want to increase the frequency of your exercise or try something new. Remember that exercising is like anything else, the more you practice it, the better you get at it. The reason behind this is that every time you slack off in exercise then your body will start to store those calories for future use as fat; if this happens regularly than soon enough you will be back to square one because you have slowed down your metabolism to preserve calories.

Do not get discouraged if you did not lose any weight yet as through time and with consistent effort, it is possible to achieve the results that you want. Just remember that no hard work or effort on your part is required for a successful weight-loss because the body will burn off fat on its own after a few weeks.

“I am lethargic.”

You might have just started exercising but be careful in the way that you do it. If you feel that going to the gym every day is necessary for achieving good results then go ahead, if not, then start with low intensity exercises such as walking or jogging at first (preferably in place). Exercise will cause the body to use up its energy stores in the form of fat and hence you are going to feel tired for a while. 

“I can’t sleep.”

If you have been exercising regularly then there is nothing to worry about. In fact, it is due to your body burning off fat that is interfering with your sleeping pattern. This means that the more you exercise, the better you are going to sleep. Just be careful that they don’t turn into insomnia or you may want to try a different way of exercising at night like yoga or tai-chi (ask at your local gym).

“My metabolism has slowed down so much and I feel tired all day long. I can’t do anything.”

This may not be a good thing at first but don’t worry because your metabolism is not slowing down. The real reason is that you are over-exercising which causes the body to slow down.  In order to regain your average speed, start by doing exercise three days a week rather than five or six days. This way, you will not feel tired all the time while also losing weight faster than before.

“I am feeling sick.”

This means that the body is still using up energy in increasing amounts (because of exercise) which it cannot burn up immediately and so it stores it in the form of fat cells instead. It is important that you don’t over-exercise because this will make the situation worse. Just take a good rest and keep it up in a couple of days.

“It seems that I am just exercising to run away from my problems.”

If you have decided to go on a diet to get away from stressful memories or family problems, then this may not be the best way of doing it. The best way is either through therapy (which is less time-consuming) or through dieting (but just don’t go overboard). Remember that exercise is not for escaping from your problems but rather as a means of self-improvement.

“I cannot lose weight. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I exercise.”

This is a very common problem especially among men but it really has nothing to do with your diet or exercise. You might want to consider seeing a doctor who can prescribe diet pills or natural weight loss supplements like Phentermine for you. It helps in managing the appetite so that you can eat less and still feel full. This in turn will allow you to lose weight easier than before with little or no exercise at all. The main thing is to not give up because of one small mishap.

“I have gained weight after exercising. I don’t know what happened.”

Exercising during a diet is not always the best way of going about losing weight. You might want to consider taking Phentermine which will make your body more active even when you are resting. This will allow you to burn calories while doing nothing.

“I am not getting results.”

This is one of the biggest problems that people encounter when doing exercise. They think that exercising alone will make them lose weight quickly because this is what they see on TV or in magazines. The truth however is that if you are not eating right, then no matter how hard you exercise, the weight loss won’t be as fast as expected. So, remember to eat right before, during and after exercising.

“How much exercise should I do?”

This question is best left to experts. You should choose a physical activity that you will enjoy doing. This can either be walking, swimming or even hiking. The important point is to exercise for at least 30 minutes per day. If you are really pressed for time, then try the morning workouts before your day starts or the evening workouts right after work before preparing a meal. This way you’ll have less excuses not to work out.

“I am very busy during the weekdays. I can’t afford to miss work.”

If you are really pressed for time, then try the morning workouts before your day starts or the evening workouts right after work before preparing a meal. This way you’ll have less excuses not to work out. It is best if you can exercise at least three times a week for 30 minutes each session. Do it every day if you can as this will help you attain your fitness goals sooner.

“I am exercising but my weight is not coming down.”

Exercising alone will not help you lose weight unless it is combined with healthy eating habits. Make sure that on top of working out, you are also eating healthy meals and snacks that do not have too many calories per serving. This will help to stimulate your metabolism so your body will be able to burn fat more efficiently.

“I am not gaining weight but I am exercising.”

This is because you are not eating properly. If you are eating healthy foods, then the exercise is definitely doing something for you. If, however, you are eating junk food and drinking a lot of sugar, then it’s probably not going to do much.

When should I start and when should I stop?

5.2 What to expect from weight loss and how long does it take

The average person can expect to lose about a pound of weight per week, depending on how active they are and how much time they dedicate to their meal plans. After 12 weeks, you’ll need to do a final weigh in before weighing yourself again in six months’ time. If you notice that you’ve lost more weight than expected after this final weigh-in, chances are that your body will have reached its goal and the amount of weight loss from then on out will be minimal. Weight loss is determined largely by diet and exercise habits coupled with metabolism; it’s not an overnight fix for people who don’t want to put forth the effort required for quick results.

A note on weight loss

Whether you’re trying to lose weight or gain muscle, being aware of how much you weigh is crucial. For people who have been consistently dieting for any length of time, the number on the scale has less importance than it does for people who haven’t lost a significant amount of weight and are eyeing their first set-back.

Aiming for a healthy weight and staying there

The average person should aim to maintain an ideal bodyweight as the basic rule, although this can be difficult when so many foods are technically considered low fat or -free. There is a calculated percentage of body fat that you should be aiming for. There are several online calculators that can help you in determining the percentage of body fat, which is unique to everyone. Being aware of your calorie intake and burning calories through exercise are key aspects in reaching and maintaining your ideal weight.

“The average person can expect to lose about a pound of weight per week…”

How long does it take to burn fat?

In general, losing unwanted weight comes from cutting back on the number of calories consumed versus increasing the number of calories burned daily while performing exercise routines. After the initial break-through in weight loss, the amount of weight lost slows down but can still be maintained without consuming more calories than one burns. Over time, the number of calories consumed need to be less than what’s burned to maintain the rate of weight loss.

It all comes down to how quickly you want to lose fat and how long until you can put that effort into a healthy diet and exercise routine. Weight loss comes from losing only fat cells and they’ll return once your body has reached its goal. It is an everyday endeavor that can continue until your death or for as long as you care about it, if you’re dedicated enough.

How to burn fat daily

You can still maintain your bodyweight after you’ve reached your goal as long as you follow the proper diet and exercise routines that are outlined in this book. The average person will lose about 1 ounce of fat per day, which is the equivalent to about 12 pounds of fat lost in a year’s time. After 6 months, the rate of weight loss slows but it will slow down even more after 12 months.

The great thing about weight loss is that it doesn’t have to stop there. As long as you’re putting in the effort and applying the proper lifestyle changes, you can maintain your bodyweight for life while continuing to enjoy eating delicious foods and living life on your terms.

5.3 So what is the proper routine for weight loss?

The best way to maximize your weight loss is by carrying out a combination of dieting and exercise that’s described in The Fat Loss Bible. It’s the most comprehensive guide that you’ll find on this topic. Put this book to use and watch as your body reaches its ideal fighting shape.

How to burn belly fat fast

The truth is, there’s no single magic bullet for losing belly fat. Everyone’s body is different, and they all burn fat at different rates. You need to experiment with a variety of different techniques before you settle on one that works best for you. The tips below will get you started in the right direction, but remember to keep things consistent… the only way you’ll find what works for you is by keeping things under control!

Why does belly fat accumulate?

The main reason why so many men and women have trouble eliminating abdominal fat is because of a hormone called insulin. Insulin stores sugar in muscle cells and causes them to grow larger. It also increases your body’s fat storage potential. One of the best ways to keep insulin levels under control is by making sure that you eat small meals every few hours. This will keep your glucose levels steady and allow you to continue burning fat all day long. It also helps to be consistent with your exercise routine, but not too disciplined. Losing weight isn’t a marathon, it’s a series of sprints.

The number one trick that keeps people from seeing results is their lack of commitment. If they don’t stick to an exercise schedule, they’ll never eliminate the belly fat that’s hiding behind their six-pack abs. It’s all about consistency. If you can’t do it for 30 days straight, then you probably won’t be able to do it long-term. If you want to see amazing permanent results in your belly area, then you’ll need to find a weight loss program that allows you to burn more fat at once. The most effective exercises include bodyweight training using push-ups and squats. You should also incorporate exercises that use the whole body like deadlifts and pull-ups.

It’s also important to make sure that you’re eating the right foods. You should be eating small meals every few hours, but you should also focus on high-protein foods like eggs, meat, fish and tofu. Make sure that you’re not getting too many carbs from sugar or white bread. Ideally, you should be getting most of your carbs from whole grains and legumes.

How to burn calories

In order to see results, it’s important to keep track of what you eat and how many calories are being burned during exercise. There are a variety of different apps that make it easy to manage your dieting program and calorie burn efforts at the same time.

If you’re serious about burning fat, then it’s also important to keep track of your body measurements and weight. This is the only way to make sure that you’re on track for long-term progress.

How much fat should I lose each week?

The amount of weight loss that you see each week will depend on your intensity level and commitment to your exercise routine. If you follow the tips above, it’s possible to lose 2 pounds of fat per week. You can also get faster results by combining a diet with a sensible workout program and a good amount of discipline.

How to burn belly fat for women

The best way for women to see results is by doing a combination of dieting and exercise. If you’re serious about losing belly fat, then it’s important to follow a diet that focuses on high-protein foods like eggs, legumes and fish. It’s also important to engage in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every day.

How much food should I eat each day?

The amount of food that you eat is largely dependent on your goals and your lifestyle. You will find many different options when it comes to reducing your caloric intake. A good starting point is to eliminate unnecessary carbohydrates… especially the simple carbohydrates from sugar or white bread. If you’re looking to see the most results in your belly fat, then you will need to make sure that you’re eating a high-protein, low-carb diet. Protein foods are also ideal for reducing fat, and they’re an important part of any weight loss plan.

How much weight should I lose each week?

The amount of weight that you lose on a weekly basis will depend on your goals and intensity level. If you’re looking to burn fat, then it’s recommended that you keep the number of calories burnt per workout consistent. This means that you should do 30 minutes of moderate activity every day… either on a treadmill or outside in the fresh air. If you’re looking to lose more weight than that, then you’ll need to start including weightlifting in your routine. If you can lift weights for one hour a day, then that’s better than doing 30 minutes of cardio every day.

How to burn belly fat for men

The biggest mistake that most men make when trying to lose belly fat is not having patience. Men tend to get into the mindset of wanting results now, instead of keeping things consistent and on track. It’s also important for men to understand their priorities with regard to losing weight and living a healthy lifestyle. If you can stay consistent with your exercise regimen, then it will pay off big time.

How do you burn belly fat?

The best way to burn belly fat is to combine a sensible diet with a high intensity workout program. You should also make sure that you’re drinking enough water and getting enough sleep to keep your body from becoming too tired or too stressed. A good way to speed up the process and really burn off the fat is by drinking green tea. It has been shown to have thermogenic effects that increase the body’s ability to turn food into energy. If you can’t afford to buy green tea, then there are some DIY recipes online that will show you how to make your own homemade version for a fraction of the cost.

How to burn belly fat includes:

1. A healthy diet:

2. Sleeping habits:

3. Daily exercise routine:

4. Dietary supplements:

5. Stress management techniques:

6. Maintaining a positive attitude about yourself, your weight loss and daily life, and your success with weight loss so far; and lastly, the most important thing is you must have faith in yourself that you can do this!

7. Thirdly, give up all emotional eating!

Sleeping habits are very important when it comes to weight loss. For example, if you do not get enough sleep, it will have a devastating effect on your ability to lose weight. Sleep increases metabolism and helps to reduce stress levels. The body has a chance to rest and rejuvenate all of its systems while you sleep. Refrain from exercising in the evenings so that you can rest more easily at night. When getting into bed at night try not to watch television or work on the computer because they emit light that can disturb your sleep patterns. Therefore, go to bed early enough so that you can wake up refreshed the next day.

Many people can accomplish their weight loss goals simply by exercising on a regular basis. Although there is no magic formula for burning fat, regular exercise is the key to weight loss success. Start off slowly and increase the amount of time you exercise as you become more comfortable with your new lifestyle. Make sure that you don’t go too far out of your comfort zone because it can cause anxiety and contribute to a lack of sleep. You should also aim to fit in 5 minutes of exercise every day, but make it a daily habit so that it becomes part of your routine.

There are many different diets that will help you to lose weight, but there is no one diet that works for everyone. The key to any good diet is to find one that makes you feel energetic and satisfied. If you try a new diet and it doesn’t work for you, don’t give up and just pick another one. A great way to make sure that a particular diet will work for you is to consult your doctor about meals that will be healthy for your body type, age, height and weight. It may also help if you speak with a registered dietitian who can help tailor a nutritious meal plan specifically for your needs.

Most weight loss diet plans provide you with a list of foods that you should eat or avoid, but it is important to remember that you can’t go wrong when eating fruits and vegetables. Foods that are included in many weight loss diets are fish, lean meat, fresh fruit, and vegetables. Avoid high-fat food choices such as pizza, chips, and cookies. You will find that when you make smart food choices and eat smaller portions your body begins to crave healthier foods.

Other great ways to lose weight can be found at healthy alternatives like a low carb diet plan or a fat-burning workout plan. These exercise plans provide options for losing weight and burning fat.

Stress management techniques are very important for weight loss success. Many people tend to eat junk food when they are stressed or depressed and this can lead to weight gain. When you are stressed, you tend to overeat, which is why it is important that you find an activity that helps to relieve stress like exercise or meditation. One other way to keep your stress levels down is by simply smiling at people every day because it will make them smile and help them feel better about themselves, too. Be sure that if you’re trying to lose weight, you include ways of relieving your stress in your daily routine so that your body doesn’t crave food when faced with high anxiety levels.

Chapter 6: Running out of steam?

6.1 Why are some diets hard to stick to?

The way our bodies determine when to stop eating is so simple it’s hard to believe: if you eat less than usual your body will produce less fat-burning hormones. This means that even if you’re dieting, your body will continue to store fat since it doesn’t think it needs to use its reserves for energy because there is plenty of food available. Furthermore, if you’re not eating enough calories while dieting your body won’t have the fuel it needs for muscles and organs which also need a good supply of energy in order to function properly.

So, the question is, how can you stop your body from thinking it’s not eating enough by adjusting your diet so that you are still eating lower than usual but you’re doing it while eating at least a little extra? The answer is simple: “You must allow your body to have enough calories for the exercise you’ve been doing,” says Dr. David Ludwig, a leading obesity researcher at Boston Children’s Hospital.

“You need enough calories in order for your body to take advantage of its stored fat and use it for energy instead of having to tap into its muscle tissue and organs. It’s as simple as that.”

There are several ways to meet this basic requirement, and a few basic rules to consider when choosing a diet plan.

Rule 1: Don’t go hungry

When you’re dieting, you must get enough calories each day so that your body can use the fat it has stored for energy instead of having to tap into muscle or organs. For instance, if you currently weigh 150 pounds and want to run three times a week for an hour and use the rest of the time for strength training, you need at least 3,000 calories each day in order to have enough energy for exercise. This is equivalent to eating about 1,500 calories per day if you’re not doing any exercise. You need to eat at least this much in order to avoid hitting the wall.

Rule 2: Eat the right amount of fat

Another reason many diets don’t work is because they don’t include enough fat. Your body needs a certain amount of healthy fats in order for your muscles and organs to properly function, so you should eat some fat with each meal.

“I’m not talking about trans fats or hydrogenated oils,” says Dr. Ludwig, “but natural sources of healthy fats such as good quality oils and nuts. Without a good source of fat, the body won’t be able to burn stored fat and instead will begin using muscle and organ tissue.”

You can use the following chart as a guideline for healthy fats.

100-200 calories per day of healthy fats = good

400-600 calories per day = very good

1,000+ calories per day = excellent

Rule 3: If you need to lose weight, don’t ever go below this number of calories per day.

If you’re trying to lose weight then each week you should cut 500 calories from your diet (this is equivalent to eating two slices of bread less or an apple less).

If you have more trouble losing weight you can cut up to 1,000 calories per day from your diet (equivalent to eating three slices of bread less or two apples less).

“The number of calories in your diet is very important,” says Dr. Ludwig. “A good rule of thumb for most athletes is that they should consume the same amount of protein and carbohydrates as they did before starting their diet, but replace them with a variety of healthy fats. This extra fat will make it easier for your body to use the nutrients you provide.

“One problem people have while trying to lose weight is that they’re not sure if their diet is providing enough nutrients. As a general rule, I recommend that you get about 20 percent of your calories from protein, around 40 percent from carbohydrates and around 40 percent from fats.”

Rule 4: Don’t weigh yourself so much.

Just because your body is losing fat doesn’t mean it’s losing weight and vice versa. If you weigh yourself every day you won’t know if the pounds are fat or water since muscle tissue weighs more than fat.

“I advise my patients not to worry about how much they weigh,” says Dr. Ludwig, “but focus on how their clothes fit and how they look in the mirror instead. If these things stay the same or get smaller then you can assume at least some of the weight loss is fat.”

Rule 5: Consider using a diet where you have more than one source of protein.

Some diets only provide one source of protein, and this can cause problems because your body is only able to break down so much protein at once. For instance, if you’re eating 1,200 calories per day but your diet only provides 20 percent of those calories from protein then in order to break down this amount of protein your body will remove amino acids from other sources such as muscle.

“You need to get your protein from a variety of different sources,” says Dr. Ludwig. “Some people’s diets are high in carbohydrates, others are high in fat, and still others are high in protein. A good diet is one that combines all three.”

Rule 6: Don’t make your diet too complicated

One mistake people make when starting a new diet is trying to make too many changes at once. If you’re eating a lot of carbohydrates then the only way to reduce your intake is by eating less bread, pasta and rice.

If you try to change more than this at once you’ll end up cheating or giving up because it’s just too much work.

“You don’t have to change everything all at once,” says Dr. Ludwig. “Don’t go from eating pasta and bread every day to not eating any bread or pasta. Instead, try cutting a small amount of the bread and pasta out of your diet for a few days and then add it back slowly over time.”

Rule 7: Accept that your diet will take some time to feel good

There are no shortcuts when it comes to losing weight or building muscle, but Dr. Ludwig’s tips can help you make the right choices in the first place.

“It can be frustrating when dieting,” he says. “For some people it’s hard to make the right choices all the time and many give up too soon which leads them to regain all of their weight.”

“I tell my patients that I can’t provide any shortcuts for them, but I can help them find the right path through this maze. The goal is to find a diet that will not only lead you to success but will also keep you interested well beyond the first month.”

6.2 A disappearing appetite -your body may be giving up on you!

“You need to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight.”

If you’re struggling with this concept, it’s true that achieving this is no easy task. But here are a few hints to help you hit your goal faster:

1. Avoid cold water and drinking vodka/gin/soda – I know it sounds counterintuitive, but iced drinks actually contain fewer calories because they have less volume available for the body. You must drink lots of water and avoid any drink that is not water in order to remain hydrated.

2. Avoid chewing gum – most gums are packed with empty calories that you will not burn off. Eat the same number of calories as you burn and you will lose weight, but when you eat food, your body burns calories digesting the food as well as the food itself. When you chew gum, your body burns calories digesting the gum but does not burn any calories from the gum itself.

3. Go for longer walks- Try doubling your exercise time if you’ve been doing nothing or simply walking around your neighborhood once a day for 15 minutes. If you exercise in increments, try to do more each week. If possible, get a friend to walk with so that the time will pass by faster.

4. If you are not losing weight, try eating less – If you can’t exercise more, then eat less. Instead of three balanced meals a day, cut it down to two and replace the third meal with a healthy snack. You will still be getting enough food, but fewer calories overall.

5. Use smaller plates- Smaller plates fool your mind into believing it’s eating more than it actually is. Use a 9″ plate instead of 12″ when serving yourself at home or at restaurants. Or use small bowls that hold one cup instead of large bowls that hold 8 cups for cereal in the morning or soup at night.  

6. Set realistic goals- Set a goal and have a plan of action for how you’ll reach your target weight. If you are 30pounds overweight, don’t set a goal of losing 20 pounds in 3 weeks- instead, set a reasonable goal of 3-4 pounds per month. Not only will this make it more likely that you’ll succeed, but also you won’t become discouraged when you don’t meet the unrealistic goals that you’ve set for yourself.

8. Burn more calories than you consume – This is the most effective way to lose weight. If you consume more calories than you burn, then a pound of fat is added to your body. To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume.

9. Drink water- Drink enough water each day that it is the only liquid that your stomach can hold. Otherwise, the food will not be fully digested and allowed into the intestines when eaten. Even if you do manage to eat all the food in a meal, it won’t be fully digested and will have to go through the digestive system again with each additional bite in your meal. This leads to unnecessary bloating and gas.

10. Get some sleep- Sleep is a restorative process that allows your body to repair itself. It’s a time when you are not burning calories, so it is essential that you get enough quality sleep (7-8 hours for most adults). If you don’t get enough sleep, then your body converts your fat stores into energy in order to keep you alert and awake. However, instead of burning fat, it burns off the muscle in your body.

11. Eat less and exercise more – When I say “eat less”, I do not mean starving or going on a low-cal diet. What I mean by “eat less” is finding ways to eat the same amount of food for fewer calories. If you eat 1500 calories a day and you get in 300 extra steps, then your body will burn off about 3500 calories. This means that 1 pound of fat is burned off in a week. That’s 5600 calories (3500 from exercise and 2000 from the food you eat).

12. Eat before exercising – Since exercising uses up your glycogen stores, it’s important to feed your body before working out on an empty stomach. Unless you’re someone who does an intense workout for several hours straight, there is no need to snack during your workout. You should have already eaten a nutritious breakfast before working out. If you don’t have time to eat a full meal before working out, eat an energy bar or drink a sports drink instead.

13. Eat more protein – instead of eating three meals per day plus snacks, try to eat 5-6 small meals a day with one or two snacks in between meals if you can’t eat enough at one sitting. Eating more often keeps your metabolism humming along, and it takes longer for your stomach to empty out after each snack and meal because you are eating smaller portions throughout the day.

14. Eat whole grains instead of processed foods – Whole grains (brown rice, barley, whole wheat breads) take longer to digest so that your body doesn’t absorb as many calories. 15. Cuts calories from beverages – Drinking a lot of liquid with your meals takes up room in your stomach so that you’ll feel full faster and eat less overall. However, if you choose to drink a beverage while eating, do not drink more than half a cup and never drink soda or fruit juices. Fruit juice is simply sugar water with no nutritional value whatsoever and soda is full of ingredients that are harmful to your health such as corn syrup and phosphoric acid which increases the risk of obesity and bone deterioration.

16. Stop snacking – Getting into a habit of eating small frequent meals throughout the day can help prevent you from feeling hungry and binge eating later on. Whenever you’re sitting down to eat, take a moment to set the table, put your utensils in place, take a drink, and make sure that other people are ready before you begin eating. How often do you pick at your food or finish most of it before starting on your next meal? Statistics show that it’s more likely to binge eat if you don’t control when, what, how much and how long you eat. Snacks should be no longer than one hour apart from each other.

17. Reduce fat intake – Fat is the hardest substance for your body to break down and the most likely to be stored as body fat. Choose lean cuts of meat, cook in non-fat or low-fat liquid, and remove all visible fat before cooking. Also try to avoid fried foods because they can lead to high cholesterol levels which in turn can lead to heart problems.

18. Drink more water – A good way to reduce water weight is by drinking lots of water during the day (8 glasses a day). This works for two reasons:

1) Water helps eliminate excess sodium from your body, reducing bloating and swelling.

2) It keeps you from eating at night.

Chapter 7: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

7.1 The benefits of HIIT

1. Research has shown that people who work out moderately for 30 minutes 5 days a week lost the same amount of weight as those who worked out intensely for only 10 minutes.

2. HIIT accelerates your metabolism and boosts your fat-burning potential

3. HIIT has also been linked to increased lean muscle mass

4. The high intensity of HIIT can protect you from osteoporosis through stimulation of bone growth and reduced levels of cortisol, which breaks down bone

5. A study by the University of New South Wales found that athletes in training benefit greatly from the high intensity workout, but don’t overdo it; less is more with this type of training!

6. HIIT is meant to be a ‘live’ workout, not just a workout in the gym. That is why we incorporate it into every week of our program.

7. By doing HIIT you will be able to get a burning and satisfying workout in half the time

8. HIIT allows you to get maximum results in minimum time

In this chapter, we will cover important tips and tricks of the game: how to perform HIIT, effective methods for fat loss, routines and specific examples of short but intense workouts.

1. What is high-intensity interval training? (HIIT)

This is a form of training where you perform “high intensity bursts” of exercise separated by the rest periods known as “form breaks”.

2. How to do high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?

Example: 20 seconds run at maximum speed, followed by 10 seconds of jogging and 2-3 minutes of rest. Then repeat this cycle for 10 minutes. Start with a 5-minute warm up and perform three to five rounds of the following cycle:

1. Run at maximum speed for two minutes

2. Jog slowly for one minute

3. Repeat this cycle four times in total 3. Benefits of HIIT

4. How to perform HIIT?

HIIT is the quickest and most effective way of burning fat, which is why we will be using this type of training throughout our program.

5. HIIT vs Cardio: Which is better?

Unlike with cardio, your heart rate will remain high during HIIT and you won’t be able to hold conversations comfortably. You’ll be out of breath and sweating profusely until you need to slow down or stop. This means that your body will consume energy associated with aerobic activity (fat burning) for up to three days after your workout due to the extreme increase in metabolism caused by this training type.

It is a common misconception that only cardio can help you lose weight. HIIT will be more effective than cardio at building lean muscle, helping you burn fat and improving your overall fitness level.

6. HIIT routines

Short but intense workouts, lasting approximately 40 minutes (but must not last more than 30 minutes), are best suited to this type of training. The best example of this type of workout is the Tabata Protocol.

We will be using an example of the Tabata Protocol throughout the book.

7. How to perform Tabata Protocol?

The Tabata Protocol is a form of HIIT designed by Dr. Izumi Tabata back in 1996. It consists of eight rounds, most commonly done on a stationary bicycle:

1. Perform exercise at maximum ability for 20 seconds

2. Repeat with a 10 second break; this makes up one “cycle”

4. Rest for one minute

5. Perform seven more rounds, each preceded by a warm-up and cool-down period  

8. How to perform effective HIIT?

HIIT can be quite intense for beginners, so you’ll need to ensure that your breathing, posture and form is correct. This is particularly important with running as it can cause joint problems if done incorrectly.

9. What are the best exercises for weight loss?

If you want to lose weight effectively, the best option is to use a combination of exercises from different categories:

1. Resistance training (squats, push-ups etc.)

2. High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

3. Aerobic training (jogging, cycling etc.)

10. How HIIT can boost your results?

By performing this type of workout, you are able to get maximum results in minimum time. This helps to reduce the chances of getting bored or stuck in a rut with your exercise regimen.

11. How many calories will I burn during high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?

After a Tabata workout, you’ll be able to burn as much as 300 calories in only 4 minutes! Many HIIT workouts have been compared with steady state cardio and resistance training; they often promote higher caloric expenditure than steady state cardio and build more muscle than weight training alone.  

12. How to effectively increase my metabolic rate?

A common misconception is that you can simply go to the gym, work out as hard as possible and then have no need for fat loss. Fitness magazines and personal trainers often suggest this type of approach. The truth is that your body’s metabolic rate is not constantly in balance with your calorie intake, but it will change throughout the day in response to different factors such as dieting, exercise and the number of calories you burn. The aim of HIIT training is to artificially set your metabolic rate at a higher level by having you constantly burning calories for a short period of time.

13. What are the best exercises for weight loss?

We recommend resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for fat loss.

14. How many calories will I burn during high-intensity interval training (HIIT)?

After a Tabata workout, you’ll be able to burn as much as 300 calories in only 4 minutes! Many HIIT workouts have been compared with steady state cardio and resistance training; they often promote higher caloric expenditure than steady state cardio and build more muscle than weight training alone.  

15. How to effectively increase my metabolic rate?

A common misconception is that you can simply go to the gym, work out as hard as possible and then have no need for fat loss. Fitness magazines and personal trainers often suggest this type of approach. The truth is that your body’s metabolic rate is not constantly in balance with your calorie intake, but it will change throughout the day in response to different factors such as dieting, exercise and the number of calories you burn. The aim of HIIT training is to artificially set your metabolic rate at a higher level by having you constantly burning calories for a short period of time.

17. What are the best exercises for weight loss?

We recommend resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for fat loss.

7.2 How to perform HIIT

The best time to perform interval sprints is in the morning (ideally 4:00am), after your morning workout and before you leave for work. Find a long straight stretch of road where cars are not driving along and where there is no traffic that can distract you from what you are doing. Make sure that you are wearing footwear which allows you to run at high speeds without injuring yourself or causing damage to your body. HIIT is all about working with intensity. So, you need to find an activity that allows you to exert yourself as hard as possible for a short duration. You should be working out at 80% of your maximum capacity during the HIIT session and then recovering in between these intense bursts of energy. The following are ways on how to perform HIIT:

1. Start out by jogging for about 20 meters.

2. Resume jogging at the same speed until you have reached the 80% of your capacity phase.

3. Run for 10 seconds and then rest for 30 seconds and continue to do this until you have covered a span of 400 meters. 

4. Then return back to your starting point and then run back to your starting point as fast as you can, at the 80% intensity level, in about 20-30 seconds. And then you repeat this process for three weeks and then increase the training time for 30-60 minutes until you are able to attain long distance training results (5-10 miles).

Interval training is one of the most effective forms of exercise to lose weight and burn fat.  What people need to remember is that during HIIT, intensity is the key. Intensity will help you achieve the type of results that you want in an efficient manner with no side effects. Hence, you need to pay attention not just when you’re exercising but also while you are resting. You can’t afford to stay unmotivated when you are doing HIIT or any other form of exercises because this will negatively affect your fitness goals and your overall body composition.

5. Resting properly for your body to maintain its peak level of performance is very important. HIIT requires that you rest for at least 10 minutes between every interval session. If you do not have the time or you don’t want to take a break, then do not worry because there are other ways to get the same results. Unlike HIIT, slow running and jogging is effective in burning fat even though it may take longer to achieve your fitness goals. However, this is as effective as doing HIIT in many cases because if jogging continuously for 30 minutes and then taking a 10-minute break every 15 minutes and repeating the cycle can effectively achieve the same result as high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

6. Be patient and consistent

Remember that achieving your fitness goals, body composition and weight loss goals is not easy. You need to be prepared to put in a lot of work in order to achieve the results that you want. It will take some time before you see the results but it is a good way for you to get rid of excess weight and extra fat that you have stored in your body. Use HIIT as an effective way for you to achieve these healthy lifestyle goals by taking advantage of the interval intervals (which are short bursts of energy used for recovery). All you need to do is be consistent with your training plan and your consistent efforts will eventually lead you towards success.

7. No matter how hard you try to follow these steps or what other supplements are consumed, you can’t expect to achieve your fitness goals if they are not consistent. Even though this type of exercise may seem easier than other types of exercise, it is also the most demanding and requires a lot of effort and discipline. This is why many people have failed in achieving their goals because they did not struggle but rather enjoyed working out with no effort at all. Instead, you need to do your best to push yourself beyond your limits so that you will be able to see results faster than other people who have been doing the same thing for a long time already.

8. Mixing up your workout routine is another important tip that needs to be considered by everyone and especially HIIT runners. There are various types of HIITs that you can try out for different effects. For instance, sprinting on a track is entirely different than running through a field or on the beach. You need to remember that the sand and the rocks will make your body liable to injuries if you do not train properly. Hence, HIIT training requires a lot of patience and discipline because it has more cons than pros when you do not perform this type of exercise in an efficient way.

BONUS TIP: If you are suffering from physical pain (e.g., back, knee, etc.), do not forget to consult your doctor before doing any form of exercise. Also make sure that you are not suffering from any major injuries or certain health problems because this will affect your performance and the result you can get from your workout routine.

9. You also need to consider whether you are a beginner or an intermediate runner when approaching this type of exercise. The best way for you to succeed is by sticking with a specific type of exercise schedule for a few weeks and then changing it later on for different types of workouts. This will help you prepare yourself for the important task ahead by making sure that you are properly equipped to deal with stress and fatigue.

10. Finally, while it may seem like a lot of information to take in, you need to remember that there is more to HIIT than what meets the eye. It requires a lot of effort and discipline to be consistent with your training plan and this is the only way for you achieve your fitness goals and body image. Play around with different HIIT sessions until you find the one that best suits your needs!

Chapter 8: The Ketogenic Diet

8.1 What is ketosis?

When the body goes into ketosis, it basically sucks up all available fats into fat cells and then converts them to fatty acids and ketone bodies. These are used as energy in other parts of the body that usually only use glucose for energy (muscle tissue). This is why people on keto lose weight. Excess glucose in the body turns to fats and ketones.

This is what happens when you don’t eat carbs for a few days:

You enter into a metabolic state known as ketosis. Your body uses fatty acids, instead of glucose, for energy. In other words, your body starts burning fat instead of sugar/carbs. Losing weight quickly occurs during this process because the body doesn’t need to utilize carbs any longer (which causes water retention from not using insulin properly). 

Toxins that build up in the liver due to excess glucocorticoid hormone (i.e., cortisol) are also used up during this process.

Ketosis is a metabolic state that occurs naturally when the body doesn’t have access to glucose (carbs).

The Ketogenic Diet: A Brief Introduction

The ketogenic diet has been around for quite some time, but was first made popular in the 1970s by Dr. Robert C. Atkins (who also popularized the Atkins diet). The main difference between an Atkins diet and a ketogenic diet is that on an Atkins diet you typically eat high amounts of protein, very little fat, and carbs until you lose weight; then you eat fewer carbs before moving back on to more carbs.

The ketogenic diet, on the other hand, restricts your carb intake to 20 grams or less and your protein intake to 20 grams per day. This extreme carbohydrate restriction puts your body into a state of ketosis, which forces it to use more fat for energy.

Because you aren’t eating enough carbs for the body to make insulin from, your blood sugar falls and fat is burned away quickly. High levels of ketones in the blood stream can help one lose weight very rapidly.

Do keep in mind that these results are short-term (only a few days). If you want to maintain these results (and ability to control hunger), then you’ll need to stick with this diet for a while.

Keto works perfectly as a short-term diet for those who want fast weight loss. It also has many benefits that may help your health in the long run:

Improvement in cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke due to the higher amount of omega-3s, carbohydrates, and fiber in the diet. 

Reduction in blood pressure due to a more a more balanced distribution of potassium, calcium, and magnesium. 

A decrease in inflammation from the low levels of omega-3 fatty acids and high levels of antioxidants found in the diet.

Improved insulin sensitivity and possible reduction in type 2 diabetes due to the lack of carbs 

Great for people who have difficulty losing weight, such as those with thyroid issues and PCOS, as well as anyone trying to maintain their weight after they have lost it. 

How Does It Work?

There has been research conducted that suggests that there is a link between ketosis and longevity, but not much more than that. Some sources suggest that a ketogenic diet can help lower your risk of cancer (increase lifespan), Alzheimer’s disease (decrease dementia), epilepsy and brain injury. 

A ketogenic diet seems to work by:

–            Increasing levels of ketones in the blood stream and cells. (Ketones are produced when there is an absence of glucose/a raised level of fats)

–            Decreasing insulin levels. (Insulin is produced during high carbohydrate ingestion, causing insulin resistance which can lead to weight gain)

There are also other factors that may contribute to weight loss with a ketogenic diet, including a reduction in inflammation and the feeling of satiety and fullness due to the higher quantities of fiber found in such a diet.

8.2 What it’s all about

-It’s a type of high-fat, low carbohydrate diet designed to maximize fat burning

Intrigued? Keep reading for more information. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low carbohydrate type of diet that was originally used as treatment for epilepsy in the 1920s and 1930s but has since found many other uses as well. It’s designed to make the body rely on stored fat instead of sugar for its fuel. This causes some major changes in metabolism and helps people lose weight quickly while staying energized and focused throughout the day.

I’ll explain it in a bit more detail, but basically, your body has two fuel sources it uses to run: glucose (sugar) or fatty acids. Your body prefers to burn glucose, so if you don’t give it any sugar, it will burn your bodyfat instead for energy. The more fat you have, the longer you can go without eating, because your body will convert what nutrients it has into glucose and use that instead of burning your own fat.

When people eat carbohydrates, their body produces a substance called insulin. Insulin is used to store energy from the food we eat so that our bodies can use it at a later time. In addition to storing energy, insulin also causes glucose molecules to be absorbed into the cells of every one of our bodies. When we eat carbohydrates, our body uses these glucose molecules and creates large amounts of insulin in order to facilitate the creation of these glucose molecules into muscular tissue as well as fat cells. The process is known as “glucose disposal” which means that the body converts carbs into sugar and then stores it.

When the body is constantly exposed to carbohydrates, it gets used to this process and has a difficult time de-programming itself from storing carbs and converting them into sugar. In fact, when we reduce the amount of carbs we eat, our bodies actually go into a state of panic because it’s not getting its steady supply of glucose. That’s why you might feel irritable, shaky or even sick after you stop eating carbohydrates. The body just isn’t used to burning fat for fuel instead of glucose so it doesn’t know how to respond when it doesn’t get that glucose. This is what makes people think that low-carb diets are so hard. They have to get used to the fact that they’re not going to be getting their glucose from carbs any more. But how does this relate to weight loss?

If you’re always relying on glucose for your energy, you’re not really reducing your body fat. You’re only adjusting the source of fuel that’s being burned. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so hard to lose weight by just eating a low-carb diet or a low-calorie diet because your body has been trained to convert and store carbs so it just keeps burning them even when there aren’t any carbs around.

Here’s an analogy that will make this easier to understand. Let’s say you own a small car that can only store enough gas for 500 miles worth of driving. You have a full tank of gas and you decide to drive to New York City. Along the way, you come across a gas station but it’s out of your way so you decide not to stop and just continue on your trip. By the time you get to the end of your trip, you’re out of gas and you can’t go any more. Your body works much the same way.

So, if you’re someone who is trying to get in good shape but can’t seem to manage to keep the fat off, keep these things in mind: Carbs are just like gasoline for your body. They store easily as fat. But if they are burned quickly for energy, then they won’t be stored as fat. And that’s why it’s so important not to rely on carbohydrates as your primary fuel source because it’s a very inefficient way of burning calories. Instead, I recommend that people start doing some type of exercise routine at least three times a week.

If you’re just starting an exercise program, don’t go crazy with it. Just start off doing something simple like going for a leisurely walk around the block. Or if you’re really not feeling up to it, then at least go out and mow your lawn. Just get outside and start moving. After a week or two of doing that, then you can slowly increase the difficulty until you’re up to jogging or running or whatever kind of exercise you want to do.

Chapter 9: Losing fat with Phosphatidylserine (PS)

9.1 What are the benefits?

PS has been clinically proven to increase fat metabolism by up to 27%. This is due to PS’s ability to covalently bind and activate the enzyme which converts fats into cellular energy. A few clinical studies have shown that the addition of PS can lead to an 11% reduction in weight and a 4% reduction in waist size. The recommended dosage is varies depending on how often you want PS taken. For most people, it would be best taken with breakfast or lunch as this gives users time for optimal absorption before eating their main meal of the day. Research also suggests that older adults could potentially see bigger benefits from taking PS than younger adults because they are less sensitive to weight loss supplements than younger people without significant hormone fluctuations.

Summary: PS has been clinically proven to increase fat metabolism by up to 27%. This is due to PS’s ability to covalently bind and activate the enzyme which converts fats into cellular energy.

9.3 Benefits of PS not found in other supplements

1. PS can actually improve mood: The brains of people with major depressive disorder (MDD) show a decrease in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein. PS has been shown to correct this deficiency, and can help treat people with MDD.

2. PS improves insulin sensitivity:

PS increases insulin sensitivity; it can help control blood sugar levels while reducing risk factors for diabetes, including high blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides.

3. PS is safe:

PS is not known to be toxic or have any harmful side effects on humans, unlike many other supplements that contain caffeine, which may cause anxiety and insomnia at higher doses or in sensitive individuals such as pregnant women or men who are trying to conceive.

4. PS improves brain function:

PS is a powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation and prevent the accumulation of harmful amyloid deposits in the brain. It increases BDNF, improves cognitive function and has a small but significant effect on memory.

5. PS helps your eyes:

PS has been shown to improve blood circulation to the eyes, resulting in increased vision and eye health. In addition to improving blood flow, it also regulates vision by increasing dopamine in the eye; this improves sight and also may make you feel less tired.

6. PS may be helpful for depression:

PS has been shown to improve brain chemistry causing improved mood in people with MDD or diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).

7. PS may help with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS):

PS appears to be an effective treatment for PCOS, which is a common hormonal imbalance that can have multiple symptoms including infertility, irregular or infrequent periods, difficulty getting pregnant and excess hair growth around the face and body.

8. PS increases blood flow:

PS can increase blood flow throughout the body. It has been shown to help with atherosclerosis by reducing plaque buildup in arteries; it can lower cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels. This effect alone can reduce risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure and elevated LDL (bad) cholesterol.

9. PS can help in infertility:

PS has been shown to improve insulin levels and regulate blood sugar levels. This can be helpful for women with PCOS who have fertility issues due to insulin resistance.

10. PS increases dopamine:

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control movement, emotions and feelings of pleasure. It also plays a major role in Parkinson’s disease, which is characterized by tremors, slow movements and difficulty walking. Supplementing with PS may reduce these symptoms while improving mood and energy levels.

11. PS may improve weight loss:

Research suggests that PS increases fat oxidation, improving the body’s ability to burn calories. This could help decrease food intake, which can lead to weight loss over time.

12. PS improves vision:

PS has been shown to improve blood circulation to the eyes, resulting in increased vision and eye health, including improved night vision and decreased eyestrain. It also protects against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). PS also helps regulate visual acuity by increasing dopamine levels in the eye; this improves sight and also can make you feel less tired.

13. PS helps build muscle:

PS is a powerful antioxidant that can reduce inflammation and prevent the accumulation of harmful amyloid deposits in the brain. It increases BCAA levels, improves muscle contraction, stimulates fatty acid oxidation (fat burning), and also has been shown to increase whole body metabolism by up to 20%.

14. PS may help reduce cancer risk:

PS increases BDNF levels, which is important for brain function. While there are few human studies on it for cancer prevention, some animal studies show that PS may be helpful in preventing tumor development by increasing the production of trophic factors (proteins that are released into circulation after injury or injury-induced tissue damage) that support cell growth and repair.

Chapter 10: Supercharge Your Fat-burning Potential by Increasing Natural Growth Hormone Levels!

To get the best fat-burning effects, your goal should be to eat a diet that is not only low in carbohydrates and high in protein but also contains specific nutrients that increase natural growth hormone levels. This hormone is linked to increased metabolism, improved cognitive function, and an improved sleep cycle.

Check out this list of foods that are high in nutrients proven to increase natural growth hormone:

1) Apple Cider Vinegar – Consuming one tablespoon before bedtime has been shown to stimulate an improvement in sleep quality and duration, an enhanced body composition, along with reduced appetite. It also helps reduce blood pressure levels when used long term.

2) Allium Vegetables – These vegetables are most notably found in garlic, leeks, and onions. They contain high amounts of allicin, which is a compound that has been proven to improve blood lipid profiles and is also known for increasing your body’s natural antioxidant capacity. Allicin also has cancer-fighting properties.

3) Asparagus – This vegetable is known to reduce the buildup of fatty proteins and carbohydrates throughout the body. It also contains amino acids that increase growth hormone production.

4) Beans (Kidney, Pinto, Navy, Red Lentils) – Beans help increase your body’s natural antioxidant levels while stimulating growth hormone production at the same time. They also contain amino acids that boost your body’s production of this hormone.

5) Broccoli – This vegetable contains glucoraphanin, a compound that has been shown to increase metabolism and to promote human growth hormone production within the body. It also contains high amounts of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which boosts your body’s detoxification systems and is believed to be cancer-fighting as well.

6) Citrus – Citrus fruits, mainly oranges, are rich in nutrients that have been proven to protect your cells from free radical damage while simultaneously increasing the amount of fat you burn for fuel throughout the day.

7) Corn – This vegetable is part of the plant family known as “maize” and contains a molecule called Zeaxanthin. Zeaxanthin has been shown to increase your thyroid function and facilitate an increase in growth hormone levels.

8) Fish (Salmon, Tilapia, Trout, Halibut) – Salmon is another great fish that is high in omega 3 fats, which comprise a class of essential fatty acids that promote healthy blood clotting. These fats are also good for your body’s metabolism and have been proven to raise the amount of growth hormone produced within the body.

9) Garlic – This herb contains allicin, which has been proven to boost your immune system. It can also help to lower high blood cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of blood clots, and increase your body’s production of melanin – a compound that gives skin its color.

10) Green Bell Pepper – This vegetable is known for its rich source of vitamin C, which has been linked to an increased metabolic rate. It also contains significant amounts of carotene, which is a powerful anti-oxidant.

11) Kelp – This type of seaweed is high in iodine, which fosters increased thyroid function. It can also help alleviate constipation and increase natural growth hormone levels within the body.

12) Leeks – This vegetable contains high amounts of indole-3-carbinol, a powerful compound that has been shown to reduce your risk for certain types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer. It also has been shown to help alleviate PMS symptoms in women.

13) Nuts (Almonds, Pecans, Pistachio Nuts) – These nuts contain phytosterols and polyphenols, which are compounds that have been proven to reduce total cholesterol levels within the body. They also are rich sources of natural growth hormone precursors.

14) Oats – This cereal is high in beta-glucan, a compound that has been shown to reduce total cholesterol levels and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

15) Olives – These fruits are great sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are compounds that protect the eyes from free radical damage while simultaneously boosting the amount of growth hormone within your body.

16) Orange Juice (Fresh squeezed) – Orange juice is rich in vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce your risk for certain types of cancer. It also contains significant amounts of carotene, which is an antioxidant that has also been proven to improve thyroid function and increase natural growth hormone production within the body.

The points above will hopefully help you find foods that will increase your natural growth hormone output. Set goals in regards to your goal and remember to have patience and take things slow. In the end, making changes to your lifestyle is never an easy thing to do. The more you can work at it on a daily basis the more chance you have of succeeding in your endeavor. The other option you have in regards to gaining muscles is going with steroids. Steroids are synthetic derivatives of hormones like testosterone and are commonly used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance their athletic performance or muscle building ability. Anabolic steroids leak into the market from different sources: prescription drugs that are abused, drugs smuggled in from countries outside the U.S, and others that are made illicitly in U.S.-based laboratories using legally purchased raw materials.

Anabolic steroids are produced in various forms, ranging from tablets to injectable liquids. While there are no ways to know exactly what a drug contains until after it has been purchased, some types of steroids contain only one hormone (androgen) like testosterone. Others include a combination of one or more additional hormones such as nandrolone and stanozolol (also known as Winstrol). Combining several different types of hormones into one injection, as many athletes do, gives the steroid greater effects than those obtained by injecting only one type of hormone.

Anabolic steroids are unlike most other medicines in that they stimulate both male and female reproductive organs. Male-type anabolic steroids like testosterone promote the development of sex organs and male characteristics in boys and men. Female-type anabolic steroids like methandrostenolone (Dianabol) promote the development of feminine characteristics in girls. Anabolic steroids also can cause masculinization or feminization symptoms in those with gender identity disorders, including some transgender individuals who wish to transition from a masculine to a feminine state.

There are many worse drugs that people take. But anabolic steroids are the ones that put you into a house full of the best powerlifters in the world. They go through insane amounts of steroids so they can lift more than anyone their size or weight. They have developed muscles like no other people have. So how do you get there? Staying calm is one of the most important things to learn when lifting. You need to have a cool head or it shows. You must also have full concentration and focus on what you want to achieve. Being anabolic steroids, you probably want to know how people use them.

A cycle of anabolic steroids can last from four weeks to several months, depending on the drug that’s used and the amount taken daily. The first week someone starts taking anabolic steroids is called the initiation phase, during which many people report feeling flu-like symptoms including fever, chills, headache, and muscle pain or weakness (known as “the juice is kicking in”). The most dangerous part of all anabolic steroid use is the risk for liver damage. It is common to develop hardening or thickening of the liver due to certain medical conditions, which can lead to liver cancer.

For this reason, doctors who prescribe anabolic steroids for medical purposes will often monitor patients closely and regularly test their blood enzymes, and may especially limit the athlete’s usage in the first few weeks of their cycle. Anabolic steroids cause several effects in your body such as emotional changes or behavior, acne, and facial hair growth. Sometimes there will be stuttering of speech because you are bound to say some things you didn’t mean when angered by a steroid user or someone who knows nothing about steroids.

Chapter 11: Intermittent Fasting

11.1 The benefits of intermittent fasting

The most obvious is that you will find yourself eating less and lose weight more quickly. After all, there’s no better way to reduce calorie intake than to simply take a break from food for a while. But the benefits don’t end here! Going hungry will also increase your insulin sensitivity, so that when you do eat again, your body can better store nutrients as fat. Finally, intermittent fasting teaches your body how to function on minimal energy. No matter how little you’ve eaten in the past, you can count on not feeling hungry when you break your fast. It helps you overcome the cravings that lead to binge eating.

Intermittent fasting can be expressed in many different ways. But the bottom line is, it involves short periods of not eating and long periods of eating. You can use almost any form of fasting as a method to lose weight, as long as it isn’t dangerous or unhealthy to you. In fact, you may even find that fasting is healthier for you than regularly eating foods high in saturated fats and sugars!

11.2 What is Intermittent Fasting?

With intermittent fasting, you eat normally for a period of time and then drastically cut down your calories for a period of time. Most experts recommend that the first method you try is “one day a week”, where you don’t eat at all on Sunday and then eat the way you normally would on Monday through Saturday. On other days, however, you only reduce your calories by 25% or 50%. This type of fasting has also been called “strict calorie counting” but it doesn’t have to be as strict as this – and indeed, it shouldn’t be. In my opinion, daily calorie counting is far too stressful to be considered healthy.

Intermittent fasting is also sometimes referred to as “intermittent calorie restriction”. Indeed, this is a good way of looking at it. The idea is that you cut your calories so drastically that you start to starve yourself. This in turn will force your body into energy conservation mode. However, it doesn’t work like that at all!

Your Body has its own System

Your body has its own system for storing fat – and when you don’t eat, your body will use any and all of the fat before your muscle mass (that’s the muscle that we use to move around) gets used up. This isn’t a bad thing! After all, calorie intake affects both our lean body mass and our fat storage capacity. If you want to reduce your body fat percentage, then you need to eat less calories. And if you want to increase it, then you need more calories. You’ll also notice that hunger kicks in more quickly when you eat less. What does this mean? It means that your body will burn fat instead of storing it (unless there’s a medical condition, like anorexia nervosa etc…) So, by skipping a meal, your weight will fall faster and faster.

If you think about this logically, fasting will have all kinds of health benefits. I promise! Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance among many other health benefits. Intermittent Fasting for Beginners In reality, this is the best form of fasting for beginners. After all, you can start by eating normally and incorporating intermittent fasting into your schedule later on. If you have any questions about how many calories you should be eating, then please contact a professional nutritionist because they know more than I do! I can simply tell you what works for me but it might not work for you!

Should You include Protein in your Diet?

There are many experts who recommend that if the most popular diet plans in America are followed religiously, then these diets will bring about some short-term weight loss. I agree, but you have to ask yourself, “Is this right for my body?” This kind of dieting will also leave you feeling hungry and tired – not to mention it can put your health at risk! I’ve known people who have been on these diets (like the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet) for months and they’re still not seeing results. Why? Because their bodies do not respond well to these diets. And if their bodies don’t respond well, then they won’t lose weight!

Using Intermittent Fasting as a Way to Lose Weight

When your body is getting the nutrition that it needs in order to stay healthy, then it’s not going to store as much fat as possible. In fact, it will be building up the muscle instead. So, when you bring your body back to normal eating patterns, a higher number of calories is going to come rushing in. This is where intermittent fasting can play a big role. You eat for a period of time and then you stop. The result? Your body has been deprived of food and you’ll find that you’ll be responding much better to food once you start eating again. It’s much easier to handle hunger when it comes back and this is where the protein comes in – the brain needs some protein! It doesn’t matter whether your protein comes from meat, eggs, fish, seeds etc. It needs protein in order to function properly!

There are plenty of people who don’t like the idea of doing any kind of exercise at all during an intermittent fasting regime. However, if you exercise too much whilst on an intermittent fasting regime, then this can have devastating effects on your health. Not good! So, use common sense and listen to your body. You’ll know what’s right for you!

11.3 What About Alcohol and Intermittent Fasting?

When people decide to try out intermittent fasting, they will sometimes get drunk thinking that it won’t make a difference. However, they’re wrong. The reason for this is because alcohol contains a lot of sugar and this can have negative effects on you! So, if you do decide to drink, then I have the following advice: Drink in moderation. This means that if you drink too much (which happens a lot), then it won’t be good for your body and your weight loss goals. At the very least, stay away from sugary cocktails! The sugars here can give your insulin levels an incorrect spike before they come back down again.

11.4 What About the Side Effects of Intermittent Fasting?

Yes, there are some common side effects of intermittent fasting that you should know about: Fatigue – this is very common. Some people feel so tired when they stop eating that they’re tempted to go out and eat something. However, you have to keep in mind that this is just your body going through withdrawal! Hunger Pangs – as I’ve already mentioned, your body will be deprived of food for a period of time. At first, it’s going to want to keep on eating forever! However, as soon as it gets its protein fix, then you’ll be feeling much better again. Side Effects of Intermittent Fasting includes:

1. Bloating – (caused by eating a lot of protein in one go) – this is normal. Your body will store the excess liquid that you’ve just consumed as fat.

2. Headaches

3. Decreased Energy

4. Increased Hunger

5. Difficulty Concentrating

6. Constipation

7. Dizziness – (caused by the drop in blood sugar) – you can counteract this side effect with some extra protein. This is also why it’s so important to follow a good intermittent fasting schedule. Make sure that you’re getting plenty of protein!

11.5 Common Questions about Intermittent Fasting:

1. How Do I Know When to Eat? I’ll show you the best time to eat below, but first we need to talk about what else is going on in your life.

Have you ever heard of Power Packing? Power Packing is an excellent way to eat. It’s also known as the IIFYM method and I’ll talk about it in a minute. But first, we need to look at when you should eat in relation to your workouts.   If you exercise after work or school, then it’s a good idea to have your pre-workout meal beforehand (even if that means eating at 3pm).  This will ensure that your body will have enough time to digest your food before heading off to the gym or other exercise activity.

2. If you exercise early in the day, then it’s a good idea to have your post-workout meal directly after the activity.  This will help you with your muscle recovery and can help prevent muscle strains and injuries.

3. And if you’re exercising at night (before bed) then having a pre-workout meal is not necessary because your body won’t have enough time to digest your food before going to bed. 4. If you’re just starting out, I would recommend eating about 90-120 minutes before your workout or activity (remember, that can be either before or after).  This will give your body time to digest their food before starting an intense workout or session of physical activity.

5. When you start feeling bloated, then you can increase the calories by 20-30%.  This will help you to feel fuller and will also boost your performance and reduce risk of injury.

6. When you feel like eating a large meal before your activity, then that’s okay too!  However, don’t overdo it because this could lead to fatigue and lethargy.  For example: If you eat 5 hours before your activity, then try eating 6-7 hours before your activity.  This gives your body a chance to digest everything properly beforehand.

7. If you’re not very active, then you should try eating about 4-5 hours before your meal.  This will help you to feel fuller and it may even help to boost your metabolism too.

8. And if you find that you feel better during the day when eating every 2-4 hours, then don’t worry because this is perfectly normal.  If anything, I’d recommend having a big breakfast (even if that means skipping your first meal of the day).   This should keep your blood sugar levels steady for most of the day and can prevent low energy levels and mood swings etc…

9. You’ll be able to find a good balance for your body after spending some time figuring out what works, so don’t worry!  Remember, this should be easy enough.

11.6 What to expect when beginning a fast

Since weight loss is not linear, don’t be discouraged if one day you weigh less than the day before and the next day you weigh more. You will feel best when your stomach is empty and your blood sugar is low.  This will be followed by an “afternoon dip” in energy levels typically between noon-4 pm. You should eat a snack or small meal to get through this period of low glycemic load blood sugar. An advantage of fasting is that it increases energy expenditure by up to 15%. Fasting will also release ghrelin, a hunger hormone that triggers hunger signals throughout the body. Intermittent fasting is simply eating between scheduled meal times. In the book Joe Friel recommends:

To those with Type 2 Diabetes:  no fasting is recommended. Diabetics should focus on food choices instead of counting calories. Food choices that are healthy and promote weight loss are abundant in nature.

There are several types of intermittent fasting:

1. Alternate-day fasting:  Eat all your meals on the same schedule every seven to ten days.

2. Time-restricted fasting:  Eat only during specific hours of the day, typically in the morning and late afternoon for two to three consecutive days.

3. Fasting mimicking dieting (FMD):  Avoid all foods for 12 to 16 hours a day, only consuming water and healthy fats like olive oil and fish oils, but no protein or carbs during this time period.

4. Alternate-day alternate-day fasting (ADF):  Follow the schedule described above except you start the fast on alternate days.

5. Time-restricted time-restricted eating (TRE): A twelve- to sixteen-hour eating window in the morning and early afternoon.

6. Alternate 24: 24 hour fast. Skip breakfast and lunch (the first day is broken up into a 16-hour window) with snacks in between. No overnight fasts or calorie counting.

7. The Warrior Diet: Eat a small amount of protein at 1:30 am, followed by a small amount of carbs at 3:00pm, followed by unlimited amounts of fat calories all day and night long (not necessarily the same foods).

8. 24-hour fasting: Eat only during specific hours of the day, typically in the morning and late afternoon for two to three consecutive days.

9. 5:2 Diet: Eat 500 calories during fast days and 2,000 calories on non-fast days.

One of the most effective methods is Intermittent Fasting. Intermittent fasting is not fasting but rather eating within a specific time period every day while eating normally all other times. This time period can be 8 hours, 16 hours, or some other time frame. I know what you are thinking…  “I am such an eater; I never eat anything!” “I can’t just stop eating for eight hours. I have to eat after four hours and dinner has to be at least….” Well, let me tell you something. You will be surprised how easy it is to not eat all day long while getting the benefits of fasting. You will lose weight while reducing your calorie intake. And you won’t feel deprived. In many ways eating only every other day is more effective than eating every day or skipping every other day and counting calories and logging everything to be sure that you consumed enough calories in the fasted period, yet some people do this anyway.

What to expect when beginning a fast (the first few days are the hardest)

You may not have energy for a few days; the key is to cut back on sugar.  You will get used to intermittent fasting and feel great. For the first few days of fasting, I recommend you drink a green or black tea without sweetener or creamer but with lemon (tea is a diuretic). If you do not suffer from hypoglycemia, this may help reduce sugar cravings. The idea here is to eliminate all sources of caffeine and sugar, which can trigger hunger cravings. You will also want to drink a glass of bone broth or eat a meal during fasting. In addition, you may increase the amount of salt you use in cooking (to make up for the lost sodium) while eliminating all grains and sugar. I have experimented with this method for the past year and I can tell you it works! You will need approximately three cups bone broth at each meal and two cups before bed. During this initial phase of intermittent fasting there is an interval between eating meals, not every other day, but every day! A lot of people believe that they should only fast one day a month, which is a myth. You need to eat every other day, not one day a month.

In order to shed pounds, you must eat fewer calories than your body needs.  If you don’t do this, then you aren’t fasting but practicing intermittent fasting.  Your body will fight against increased calorie restriction by slowing metabolic rate and increasing hunger cravings (this is true for both dieters and intermittent fasters).  When your body senses that food is scarce it will hold on to fat. The key to stopping hunger is eating healthy foods with a lot of fiber and staying away from processed junk foods as much as possible in order to keep hunger pangs at bay. I recommend a lot of vegetables, berries, and of course bone broth. Of course, you can eat meat or eggs in the morning as well; just use common sense.

Not all calories are created equal

You cannot bat an eye at this fact: Some foods are more effective than others at helping you lose weight.  If you want to lose weight, most of your diet should consist of vegetables, fruits, and lean meats with smaller portions of nuts and whole grains. To put it in plain English, this means that you should eat “good” foods like vegetables, whole grains like brown rice and quinoa – which provide fiber – and less processed foods (like white rice) with more sugar.  These are called the “macronutrients” – or you can think of them as macronutrients plus fats. I recommend eating lean meats (no red meat if you don’t want to get acne), veggies, eggs, nuts and berries as well as bone broth every day and drinking green tea without sweetener and black tea with a little lemon or lime juice.

Intermittent fasting is not for everyone but if you would like to try it then give it a shot.  You don’t ever have to eat the same thing for an extended period of time again.

Green tea  is a great way to lose weight.

Most diets fail because they are unsustainable and you never feel full or satisfied.  This is why intermittent fasting will probably be your best option for weight loss.

How does intermittent fasting work?

If you’re getting sick of hearing about my success, then let me tell you about how I was able to lose 20 pounds in 3 months and 10 in less than 4 and what I think you should do with your diet. My problem was that I was eating unhealthy foods (like ice cream) as well as food high in sugar (fruit) a couple times per day.  Additionally, I was consuming a lot of protein and a little fat and very little carbs.  This is not good because it causes me to crave more food and makes me feel sick all the time.  I do not recommend this diet for anyone unless you are someone who does not have all that much to lose (maybe 50 pounds or less) like me.

How I lost weight: My diet consisted of highly nutritious foods and wonderful spices which gave me lots of energy in the mornings and made me feel great which kept me from eating more than what I should.  I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, desserts and drinks green tea with lemon in the evenings.  I basically ate until I was full.  I ate foods such as eggs, salmon, chicken breast, turkey breast and non-fat Greek yogurt most of the time.  I also drank protein shakes made with almond milk and protein powder.

Instead of eating massive amounts of food at one time (which is bad for you) I consumed small amounts 2 to 6 times per day.  I consumed around 300 calories per meal (mostly protein) and around 200 a snack or drink (usually green tea with lemon) which added up to about 1200 total calories per day. Don’t listen to people who say you need 3500 calories a day to lose weight. If you are on a deficit and exercising you will lose weight.  After 6 months or so most women will reach their “healthy ideal” weight if they get active. As for my exercise routine it was pretty simple.  I walked 4 miles on the treadmill every single day.  It wasn’t all at once, it was in intervals, but I never missed a day.

When I started out, I held a walking pace of 3 mph for 5 to 8 minutes then increased the speed about .5 mph every 2 minutes and would walk at that pace until I couldn’t go anymore. Don’t try to go too fast or you will regret it later.  When I got home from my walk, I had a small snack and then I would go crawl back into bed for about 1 to 2 hours.  I would then wake up and eat dinner (no snacks in between).  After dinner, I would eat some more snacks until nighttime came around.  I never snacked after 8 pm.

Chapter 12: Final Word – Don’t Give Up!

12.1 Here’s how you can help keep yourself on track

1. Undo bad habits

2. Reward yourself with new routines

3. Embrace a change of pace

4. Develop healthy routine behaviors to replace unhealthy, old habits

5. Be purposeful about your health and how you spend your time

7. Find a positive, healthy outlet to help you cope with what seems like negative news of a fluctuating weight

8. Define your expectations of change

9. Stay focused on the facts/ evidence

10. Learn to break bad habits and employ the power of habit formation to replace them with good ones

11. Stay healthy by eating well

12. Losing weight takes practice and perseverance

13. Be bold and set big expectations for yourself, but start small; break it down into manageable goals/ tasks that you can achieve every day in order for the body fat-loss process to function properly in perpetuity.

12.2 Tips for making the transition easier

-Exercise for at least three hours every day

-Eat around 2000 to 3000 calories a day, depending on your goals

-Drink around 10 cups of water a day

-Eat healthy food and exclude processed foods in your diet

-Consider taking supplements that promote weight loss and help you avoid fatigue, like Methyl B12 or Vitamin D. You can also drink green tea.

The process begins with setting up the following routine:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, Apple Cinnamon oatmeal is ideal because it’ll provide you with energy while keeping your blood sugar levels steady throughout the morning until lunchtime.

Take a multivitamin, Vitamin D3 or fish oil supplements that will help you to stay healthy and with a body that’s clean and free of toxins.

Lunch: Lean protein meal, like chicken breast or lean protein source such as salmon… Eat this ahead of time so that it’s at room temperature when you’re ready to eat. Then take your supplements.

Snack: 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 2 cups of berries and one piece of fruit

Dinner: Grilled chicken breast with broccoli or rice, asparagus and steamed brown rice

And to make sure that you’re getting all the nutrients you need every day, take a multivitamin that contains B3, B6, C and magnesium.

12.3 Cut off your carbs

It’s time to ditch the bread and avoid all carbohydrates as much as possible. Cutting down on carbs will help you burn fat rapidly, but it won’t be easy. What you need to do is track your progress with a food diary in which you record everything that goes into your mouth for two days. At the end of the two days, you’ll have a list of things that you could have eaten and still stayed lean. Now it’s time for a new diet plan. Before you’re able to burn fat at will, however, you need to re-adjust your diet. And if you want to avoid binge eating, choose a diet plan that doesn’t allow alcohol or any other form of alcohol intake at all. If you don’t want to skip a meal, choose one that has two regular meals and a dozed meal. On the contrary, if you don’t like eating at all, choose one with three regular meals or four regular meals. And if you’re really serious about losing weight fast, you can try HIIT training. It’ll boost your metabolism and burn calories even faster. One thing that you need to remember here is that you only get to eat a very small portion of carbohydrates. It’s best if you cut off all carbs at once, but if you can’t do that, remove one carb source at a time. What I mean by this is that if you have two sources of carbohydrates in your diet, then remove one and stick with the other for three days. If your weight loss results aren’t satisfactory after three days, remove the last carb source and stick with it for another three days.

The importance of losing water weight

Before you’re able to burn fat at will, there are some things that need to be cleared up first. First of all, you need to clear out your kidneys. What I mean by this is that you need to get rid of all the stuff in your system, and the only way to do that is by drinking lots of water. Now here’s another thing that you need to remember here; it’s not enough if you drink lots of water each day. All that matters is how much water you drink at one time. So, if you drink your daily intake of water in one sitting, it’ll go a long way.

Learn more about metabolism

Some people have fast metabolisms; others have slow metabolisms. The bottom line is this – there are some diets which work for some people while they don’t work for others at all. If you want to burn fat like crazy, then you’ll have to learn more about your metabolism. Remember; there’s no such thing as a one diet fits all sort of diet plan. If a diet plan worked for someone else, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’ll work for you. Therefore, if you want to find the right diet plan for your metabolism, you need to do some research before putting the plan into action. Don’t even hesitate to consult a nutritionist or personal trainer if necessary because they may be able to help you out with some great advice that will lead you toward a sustainable weight loss plan that works like magic.

Get rid of the toxins

This is another very important point that needs to be made here. What I mean by this is that some foods have some toxic ingredients in them which can cause harm to your health. Therefore, you need to remove all those toxic foods from your diet plan; otherwise, you’ll never get rid of your unwanted weight. The best way to do that is by making sure that you don’t eat any more than one portion of junk food per day. If it’s a processed junk food, then cut it out as well because they’re equally harmful.

Why you have to stay away from sugar

Now this is another very important point that needs to be made here. If you want to burn fat at will, you need to stay away from sugar like the plague. Sugar is a bad thing and all it does is add calories onto your body without providing any proper nutrition. Sugar is also addictive, which means that the more you consume it, the more you want it, and it doesn’t come with any impressive weight loss results either. All in all, the less sugar you eat on a daily basis, the better off you’ll be. So, reduce your intake of sugar as much as possible and replace it with healthier food choices instead.

Why you shouldn’t eat too much protein

I can see the word protein in your eyes. Now before you get excited, I’m not saying that you should avoid consuming any amount of protein. What I’m saying, however, is that you should limit your consumption of protein each day because it may have a negative impact on your body even though it helps to keep your muscles strong. As a general rule, it’s best if your diet plan has about 20% to 30% protein intake from lean sources.

How to burn fat faster

Now this is the last and final secret of cutting body fat fast. When it comes to burning fat faster, you need to keep a few things in mind. The first thing that you need to remember is to exercise regularly. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what kind of shape you’re in; if you don’t exercise regularly, your natural metabolism will start decreasing at a very fast rate, which means that your weight loss results will be far from satisfactory. Therefore, get up and exercise every morning before your morning shower because it’ll work wonders for your health and help you slim down faster than before.

Burn fat more efficiently with the right diet plan that works for your unique metabolism and the right exercise routine, you’ll be able to burn more calories than ever before and reach your desired weight reduction goals within a very short period of time; however, it’s all up to you to put these tips to good use. It’s not too late to start reducing body fat because there are still some days left. Don’t give yourself a chance to fail this year because you simply don’t want to see yourself as a version of who you used to be. So, start making changes now so that in the future, you’ll be able to say “I’m proud of myself. I did great and I look wonderful”. So, what are you waiting for? Don’t wait any longer; start losing your body fat today with the help of these tips.

12.4 Drink More Water

1. Filling your body with water ensures that you are not going to consume extra calories from food or otherwise. This in turn, can help you lose weight.

2. Being well hydrated ensures that your skin looks great, you have a more regulated mood and you reduce the risk of getting kidney stones.

3. It is important to drink a minimum of 2 liters of water each day since this will prevent fluid from being stored around your body and thus helping you lose weight.

4. You should try drinking water before or after every meal so that you can consume the most amount of water possible which then can help in activating the metabolic process in the body which is known as thermogenesis which helps burn fat more effectively.

5. You should try to drink water with lemon juice in it in order to flush out toxins from your body and keep yourself hydrated throughout the day.

6. You should also drink water after each meal since this will help you feel full and prevent you from consuming too many calories which you would have otherwise taken in if you had consumed a beverage such as alcohol.

7. You should also consider adding a little bit of lemon juice to your water when making it in order to boost the water’s detoxifying properties as well.

8. You can also try adding a few chunks of cucumber or mint leaves to your water in order to add flavor to it and also keep yourself feeling refreshed throughout the day.

Drink Coffee

1. Drinking coffee can help you burn fat as it increases your metabolism which will help you burn more fat during the day.

2. You should however, drink coffee before you are about to work out since this will target the fat that is stored around your thighs and your buttocks, thus making them look slimmer.

3. You should also make sure that you put the right amount of water in your coffee each time so that it will not be too strong.

Increase Muscle Tones

1. Exercising will help you to tone up your muscles and decrease the fat that is stored around it.

2. Make sure that when you are exercising, concentrate on maintaining correct posture and use the correct muscles in order to get the best possible workout for your own body type.

3. Try to exercise on different areas of your body each day in order to target all of them evenly; this will be more beneficial for those who want more defined muscles rather than just weight loss benefits from exercise alone.

4. For those who are looking to lose weight, they should try not to do the same exercises every day. Instead, they should try different ones in order to keep their body from getting too used to them.

Reduce Alcohol Intake

1. You should drink alcohol in moderation. The sugar found in drinks such as wine and beer can help you to gain weight quickly if you drink too much of it.

2. Instead of consuming alcohol, you should enjoy a few glasses of water instead since it will help reduce the amount of fluid that is stored around your body when consumed regularly, thus helping you lose weight in the process.

3. Instead of having a drink with your evening meal, try having a glass of water in order to fill up on the calories that you would have taken in through the alcohol.

You can also add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar to your glass before drinking it in order to flush out any toxins and impurities from the body.

4. You should consider taking the assistance of a dietician for information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and lose weight effectively.

Eat More Veggies & Fruits

1. You should try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible in order to lose weight. Fruits such as strawberries, plums, pineapples, lemons etc. will help you stay full for longer thus helping you to lose weight at an easy pace.

2. The fibers contained in vegetables are also full of fiber and will help you keep your digestive system healthy and functioning efficiently so that you can burn fat effectively with ease.

3. You should wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly to make sure that you are getting rid of any bacteria or other harmful substances before eating them, otherwise they may cause you to gain weight in the process.

Natural Treatments

1. A few drops of peppermint essential oil, when added to a glass of water or tea, helps reduce fat from the body because it increases your metabolic rate and serves as an appetite suppressant as well.

2. Drinking a cup of chamomile tea in the morning helps increase weight loss because it reduces water retention and bloating.

Sleep on Your Back

1. This is one great weight loss tip that you should never ignore.

2. Lying on your back can help you to eliminate sleep apnea as well and also helps to encourage weight loss in the process.

3. Sleep on your back at night, and try to sleep on a pillow that is slightly higher than what you would normally be comfortable with. While this may seem like a very strange tip to follow, it can be very beneficial for those looking to lose weight in the process; it will ultimately help them to burn more fat during the night when they sleep and also reduce the amount of food that is consumed later in the day when they wake up since their bodies are still not used to sleeping on their backs anymore.

4. Ensure that when you are sleeping on your back, you are not too comfortable. This will help to encourage your body to burn fat because of the discomfort that you will experience.

Elevate Your Legs When Sleeping

1. When you are sleeping at night, try to elevate your legs a little higher than the rest of your body. Doing so will help to burn an additional 10% more calories than what would normally be burned if it were resting flat on the bed.

2. By doing these simple changes, you can easily help to lose weight in the process.

3. It is recommended that you follow this tip every night for at least an hour or so before going to sleep so that your body eventually becomes used to this posture as well and starts burning fat naturally even when you are sleeping alone overnight.

Wear a Weight Belt While Exercising

1. This is considered a very strange weight loss tip since most people do not normally think of weight belts as being beneficial for them when they are trying to lose weight.

2. They are however very useful in order to help you to burn more calories during the day and also ensure that you continue to take care of your body by keeping it from going too low or too high all the time since it will be constantly disturbed by the belt.

3. The weight belt should be worn on both sides of the body as well so that you can still move around freely while wearing it.

The Best Tips That Can Help You to Lose Weight

1. Cut down on processed foods because they are often loaded with sugar and other harmful chemicals which can help to make you gain weight if you consume it every day. If you do this for a few weeks, you will notice that your body will start to react differently and give up on the food in the first place, thus helping you lose weight.

2. Instead of consuming chocolate or any other sweet anything, try eating berries as they are rich in benefits such as vitamin C while being low calorie.

3. If you want to lose weight, you should also avoid eating too much when you are feeling hungry. You should try eating some healthy low-calorie foods in order to keep yourself full and feel fuller for longer periods of time helping you to lose weight effectively.

4. You should try not to exercise using machines for a while since this can make your body resistant to the exercise that it does every day and thus making it difficult for your body to burn fat effectively when your efforts are being concentrated on the exercise rather than the food that you eat every day.

5. You should try to avoid purchasing any processed foods which are high in sugar and calories, instead choosing unprocessed foods which are low in fat and calories.

6. You should also try to drink more water throughout the day to help your body stay hydrated and prevent it from absorbing other harmful substances.

7. You should also make sure that you are exercising properly each day, for example you can try walking on the treadmill or even taking a swim, this will help in keeping your muscles toned as well as help burn fat effectively during the workout process.

8. If you are planning to go on a diet, you should try to eat more low-fat food since it is often rich in fiber which can help your body get rid of the excess fat faster and prevent you from consuming any unnecessary fats throughout the day.

9. Try to avoid eating junk food as much as possible since it contains a lot of calories and is high in sugar content which will cause your body to store more fat all over your body. Doing this for a few months will surely help you lose weight effectively.

10. If you are looking for weight loss supplements, you should consider taking it along with a healthy diet and exercise plan since by themselves they will not help you to burn fat effectively as they can only be taken for a month or so.

12.5 Eat more healthy fats

You would be surprised by how much a diet high in healthy fats can help you lose fat. Healthy fats not only provide your body with good fats to fuel up and keep you feeling full, they also speed up the metabolism. Many people have found that they were able to burn fat easier when changing their eating patterns to incorporate more healthy fat sources such as avocados, almonds, and olive oil. The best times to eat healthy fats are before and after you work out. Doing this helps your body to use the fat instead of the carbs for energy. Additionally, healthy fat makes for a good midday snack that will keep you feeling full between meals.

If you are having trouble losing weight on a diet that is high in protein, take a look at your fat intake. You need some fats but if you eat too much of them you can gain weight, especially around your midsection. So, make sure that you are eating enough of the right fats but not too much of any one type or else it will slow down your weight loss process. Healthy fats help to control your hunger while providing you with the energy that you need to keep going throughout the day. If you are not getting enough calories in to lose weight then you need to add some healthy fats into your diet.

Good fats, or healthy fats, are an important part of a healthy eating plan if you want to lose weight. They will help with keeping your calorie levels even and fill you up so that you aren’t always hungry throughout the day. Healthy fats can help prevent cravings by keeping your blood sugar balanced and your metabolism running at its highest level so that fat is used instead of glucose for fuel. Some good sources of healthy fats are sunflower seeds, almonds, and olive oil.

The next time you are going on a long run or out for a hard bike ride, stop at the grocery store and pick up some grass-fed beef jerky. Not only will it keep you from getting hungry during your workout, it’s a great post-workout snack because it contains lots of protein to help your muscles recover. It’s also simple enough to throw into your backpack when you are heading out on that afternoon walk or hike.

If you want to lose some fat but stay regular with your meals then try rotating the food that you eat each day. By adding in a few different foods each day, you make sure that your body is getting all of the vitamins and minerals it needs. Also, you will be more likely to keep your meals low in carbohydrates and high in protein which will help with weight loss.

Beef Jerky

A healthy diet that is high in protein will help you avoid the feeling of being hungry all of the time. Being hungrier means that you are going to snack more often and when you snack it’s going to be on unhealthy foods. To avoid this, try eating some lean beef jerky before or after a workout instead of a bowl full of chips or some other snack food. Beef jerky is high in protein which will keep your muscles full and help them recover faster after a good workout. Being full will also keep you from eating too much where your body may store it as fat instead of using it for energy.

If you are trying to lose some weight and are feeling bored with your diet then try switching up the foods that you eat each day. By rotating the different ingredients that you add into your meals, you will get a little variety to keep things interesting. This is important so that your body does not get used to eating certain types of foods and start craving them. This is when cravings can lead to overeating and making it hard to stick with a diet plan.

Plan your meals and stick to the same list of foods each day. This way you will make sure that you are eating a balanced diet that is high in healthy fats and low in processed sugars and refined grains. A diet that is well balanced will help to keep your body feeling full between meals without you having to eat as much. Again, there should be meat, fruit, vegetables, healthy fats such as avocados, almonds and olive oil.

12.6 Green tea and skinny tea drinks

Losing weight is a tough process, so you should always be on top of your game. I know this task can be a real pain in the butt, but it doesn’t have to be that way. People are starting to realize that green tea and other slimming teas can help shed those pounds. Slimming teas are not new, but they are just beginning to take off in popularity again as people become more and more health conscious.

You might have seen these drinks promoted heavily on infomercials for weight loss products. There is no reason why you shouldn’t give these teas a try and see if they work for you too. The process for making green tea slimming teas is pretty simple. To make the tea, you add hot water to a packet of green tea, let it steep for at least 5 minutes, and then drink the tea. That’s it. More complicated than that doesn’t get much more complicated than that.

You can drink the slimming teas as iced fruity teas or hot brewed black brews… whatever works best for you. The only thing to keep in mind is that you should not use decaffeinated green tea to make your slimming teas. Green tea contains caffeine and without a doubt, you would rather have the caffeine than not. You know what they say, the more caffeine you ingest, the more fat you lose. Now I am not sure about that theory, but it sure feels good to drink green tea with caffeine in it. It warms me up and helps me get things done at work.

The benefits of Green Tea

1. Green tea boosts metabolism- Green Tea is actually a potent fat burner. Here is how it works. Green tea contains antioxidants that are very good for your body. These antioxidants help you to better process fats and proteins, which will result in less fat, especially around your stomach and hips. The main reason for this is that when you burn fat, it is stored in the muscle tissue of your body, not the fat cells around your belly and thighs. When these antioxidants begin to work on the amino acids and fats in these areas of the body, they cause an immediate lowering of cholesterol levels and weight loss.

2. Green tea lowers blood pressure- The same way that green tea has many benefits, it also lowers blood pressure as well. There is a reason why so many people drink green tea- it is known to lower blood pressure. One study done on people with high blood pressure showed that drinking three cups of green tea each day for 6 weeks lowered their blood pressure by 18 percent. You need to keep in mind that this doesn’t mean the tea can cure you of your high blood pressure, it just means the cream may help regulate your blood pressure and help you to feel more relaxed in general.

3. Green tea helps with fat loss- The main reason why I think that green tea is very good for weight loss would be because it contains potassium and catechins, which are very important nutrients for fat loss. These are the two nutrients that help to speed up metabolism. Now you may be wondering what they are, so let me explain. The K word comes from potassium, and the C prefix comes from catechins. These chemicals are found in green tea and help your body burn fat. Think of them as ingredients for weight loss for your body. You could say these chemicals are like the prescriptive for losing weight. They do not burn fat, but they make sure that all of the burning turns to good energy that keeps you energized throughout the day.

4. Green tea may prevent cancer- Studies have shown that drinking green tea everyday may prevent cancer and other health problems as well. If you are smart, you will drink green tea instead of soda pop, which is full of sugar. Studies have shown that drinking green Tea consumption lowers the risk of cancer by 22%. The biggest study ever done was a massive 12-year study that looked at almost 100,000 women and men over the course of their lives. Even women who had drinking just one cup a day for as short as ten years were still less likely to get cancer than people who did not drink green tea. There was also less risk for them when they drank green tea daily. It may give you an extra little boost in your daily diet!

5. Green tea fights heart disease- The antioxidants in green tea are also known to protect against heart disease and to help you eliminate high cholesterol. Green tea is full of flavonoids, the same ones that protect against cancer and help you to lose weight.

5. Black Tea- Black tea is more commonly known as Red Tea and Green Tea. It is again, made of only one ingredient, but it does have a different taste. Black tea has a deeper flavor and is slightly more bitter than green or red tea because of the black tea leaves that it contains instead of the ones used in the teas were used.

6. Lemon Ginger- This herbal mixture from China is very unique because of its combination of ginger’s flavors with lemons’ zesty taste. It also contains many vitamins and minerals that can help with weight loss when combined with other ingredients like herbs, raw foods, fruits, and vegetables.
