Ways To Burn Fat And Another Useful Muscle Building Tips

By Ricardo d Argence

Everyone wants to burn fat fast. If you have ever been on a diet or workout regimen, you know how hard that can be. There are two main areas that you have to pay attention to when you want to lose weight: diet and exercise. While this comes as no surprise to anyone, there are some things that you can do to increase the efficiency of your current routine.

By following the tips presented you can increase your metabolism and shed all those unwanted pounds quickly.

1. Get enough fiber. Fiber helps with fat burning, as well as promoting good general health. You should get about 25 grams of fiber each day, the average American only gets 10 grams. You can get the fiber you need through whole wheat pastas, breads, and cereals, as well as fruit, vegetables, and nuts.

2. Never go to bed hungry. Choose a snack that is good and a vegetable is a good choice. There are certain foods that prevent your body from metabolizing fat. They are simple carbs such as white breads and pastas, fruit juices among others. Simple carbs may actually cause increased fat storage while you are sleeping.

3. East smaller portions, but more meals. Smaller meals throughout the course of the day keeps hunger at bay. Eat salad before you have your main course. This helps to fill you up and you will eat less and feel less tempted to eat everything on your plate.

4. The amount of food does matter. Americans have a poor sense of the size of a portion to be served. Learn to portion control your meals. By using a smaller plate you will serve a smaller portion and eat slowly.

5. Before you exercise, eat. This helps maximize the benefits of your workout. Snack on low carb foods, but high in protein. This can help you exercise longer than usual and in a more intense way. This results in more calories being burned away. Snack 90 minutes before your workout. Sooner results in the reverse effect.

6. Breath through your nose and practice exhaling and inhaling through you nose. It helps your stamina by stabilizing your heart rate. Allowing you to exercise more and this results in more calories being burned off.

7. Start interval training. An example - walking for two minutes at a very fast pace then slowing down for three minutes. Gradually you will increase the time you spend working fast. If you want to run - this is a great way to start. Again, you will burn lots more calories and fat faster.

8. By doing weights first will warn up your body to proceed with a cardio exercise. It takes 15-20 minutes for your body to warn up to do cardio and you will burn more calories. Always start your weight training with some stretching exercises.

9. Variety has always been the spice of life and the key if you want to quickly burn fat. The same routine will only doom you to a plateau in weight loss. To effectively lose fat add a variety to your exercise program. Your program should contain a mix of strength, flexibility and cardio workouts. Your body will become use to the same exercise day after day and your program will become less effective. It adjust to the same exercises done all the time and will result in your burning less calories.

10. Add weights to lose weight. Adding weights to your routine helps you burn more calories and build stronger muscles. Even adding some bicep curls while you're on your treadmill can help you see results sooner.

You need both diet and exercise in order to burn fat fast and lose weight. Little changes like those described above will get you big benefits. - 17273
