Actually that same study showed, a very high percentage of this weight loss will probably be water loss. Do you know that water accounts for about 70 percent of the total body weight of an average person? Muscle tissue contains roughly 75 % and body fat contains roughly 50 percent water.
Fat can not be lost quickly. That is because it takes more energy to burn fat than protein. That means, if you take in lass calories and don't increase your activity, your body will start using your glucose levels and then moves over to muscle tissues.
As a last resort it will start utilizing the extra fat in your body. That is not what we are trying to accomplish.
If you plan your exercise program according to your age and fitness (don't exceed the cardio-fitness heart-rates for your group) you should be steadily working on the fat tissue, 2-5lbs a week is a good average.
There is no way to target certain areas only such as your stomach and thighs. Anyone who tells you that it is possible is trying to sell you something so keep your hand on your wallet.
Be moderate in what you put into your mouth. Exercise more often. Aim for 30 minutes a day. Change the program every so often. Walk. Run. Go up and down a flight a stairs a couple times a day.
Do some exercises that require weights. Try to make it varied or you'll get bored.
Drink lots of water. Cut out soft drinks/energy drinks if you drink them. They are FULL of sugar. Be aware there are possibilities of danger from drinking too much water! Do everything in moderation.
I suggest that you not give up that food that you love or you'll crave it and eat something equally bad to compensate. Moderation. A little of that favorite food will not hurt.
You must be patient. It is better to take the weight off safely and slowly and KEEP IT OFF than do one of these crazy grapefruit diets and lose the weight and put it back on as soon as you eat solid food again.
Each time you the TV on you will see weight loss advertisements. You will read and hear promises of huge weight loss. Do not fall for it!
Let's face it. You and I want to get the fat off very quickly - and having that thought is not wrong - but it's the wrong approach.
A leading doctor states "The reason all the other diets, diet foods, organic foods, healthy foods, medicines and all the rest don't work in this modern technologically-amazing age is because THEY WERE DELIBERATELY DESIGNED NOT TO!"
How To Lose Body Fat Fast
This is the ultimate question isn't it? Diet and exercise is not something you start on Monday morning and finish by noon! It is a question of changing your lifestyle. These are my 3 must do's if your to lose your fat fast.
NUMBER 1: There are millions of diet's on the market but the only way to truly succeed is to approach your nutrition with the attitude of changing your lifestyle. You must introduce new eating habits in order to make a significant dent in your body fat levels. This is relatively simple...
*NO Processed Meals or Microwave Meals
*NO Caffeine, NO Sugar, Chocolate or Additives
*NO Wheat or Gluten
*NO Dairy
*NO Alcohol
*5-7 meals a day
*Protein with every meal
*Vegetables with every meal (preferably raw)
*Supplement with omega 3 fish oil and a multi-vitamin
*2 litres of water min a day and Green Tea
With out a shadow of a doubt this is the most successful fat loss formula. The only thing that works better than this is to combine it with the RIGHT form of exercise.
What's the best form of exercise for fat loss? interval training and weight training.
NUMBER 2: Strength training builds muscle and for every 1lb of muscle you have you will burn an extra 50 calories a day. It also boosts metabolism up to 10% after a training program
No matter how much you want to believe it, doing thousands of crunches is not going to take off any inches from your waist or fat from your abs.
A recent study showed strength or resistance training also doubled post-exercise fat burning.
Any "expert" who says strength training doesn't burn fat is living in the 1970's. Strength training must be a part of your fat-blasting workout routine.
NUMBER 3: Intervals stimulate a metabolic disturbance within your cells causing your body to burn more fat after your workout for hours.
In November 2006, a research study shocked the general public by proving short interval workouts were more effective for fat burning than slow, long, cardio workouts.
Now I don't mean to boast, But I already knew that...but there's more big news from "down under"...
According to Australian fat loss expert, Professor Steve Boucher, "high intensity intermittent exercise (i.e. intervals) will result in more fat loss in the stomach.
Basically, intervals burn stomach fat FIRST, over all other sources of fat on the body. Nothing else, not crunches, nor cardio, has ever been shown to result in stomach fat spot reduction.
This is big news. If you want to lose belly fat, you have to be doing intervals. If you're doing the same long, slow, boring cardio workout over and over again, then don't bother to expect any results.
You have to change your program.
You have to workout with more intensity.
You have to do shorter, less frequent workouts - using intervals.
