Desperate to Lose Weight Quickly – Fat Begone!

asked:




In todays society more and more importance is being placed on physical appearance. You always see the famous athlete or actor shown on TV or in magazines looking physically fit and happy. People are becoming very interested in keeping themselves in shape to live up to that image that they see constantly of famous fit people.

When people start to try to lose weight, one of the first things they do is look at their diet. Do you typically throw back a 6 pack of soda a day with half a bag of potato chips and a chocolate bar? When was the last time that you saw a vegetable or fruit? Yes we know that a burger and fries satisfies your taste buds, its not doing a whole lot for your health and your belly. These types of foods are very high in energy, and as a famous person once said, energy cannot be destroyed, just converted into something else.

If you are taking in too much energy and not living a very active life, then your body is going to convert this energy into fat and store it for later use. If you continue to eat high energy foods like this your body will continue to convert it to fat, and you will find yourself getting bigger and bigger. You need to reduce this type of food from your diet and add more fruits and vegetables

To go along with a healthier diet you need to add some exercise into your daily routine. While changing your eating habits is the quickest way to prevent new weight from being added to your body, you need to start burning off the extra weight you already have. Start taking walks after your meals for example. Work yourself up to half an hour a day and then an hour throwing in some more intense workouts and some weight training as well to help tone and shape your body.

Turn your body into an non-stop fat burning machine!

Chris Strogilis asked:


Two hours have already passed from the time you finished with your intense HIIT workout.

 

As you are lying relaxed on the sofa and reading your new book,your girlfriend approaches snugly,touches your body and then recoils yelling:

 

 

-But your body is burning! I will fetch the thermometer.You most probably have fever!

 

 

No,you do not have fever and the thermometer is completely unnecessary!

 

 

You are just experiencing the afterburn effect of your strenuous,anaerobic workout.

 

Your metabosism has taken off and is now flying somewhere in the stratosphere.

 

 

When we seek maximum fat burning we should not lose the forest for the trees!

 

 

The trees here are the calories we burn during the workout.

 

The forest is the possibility to turn our body into a fat burning machine which will burn calories without cease.And this is not fiction but a completely attainable prospect.

 

 

To achieve this you will have to forget conventional methods of training as e.g. slow,steady cardio.

 

 

You will have to involve into really taxing workouts of high intensity.

 

 

What are your best options?

 

 

1. Circuit weight training is the best option for me.Perform this in the comfort of your home by relying on the following guidelines:

 

 

-choose a decent weight in order to load your muscles properly

 

 

-execute about 8-10 repetitions/set

 

 

-breaks between sets should be minimal

 

 

-perform only compound/multijoint exercises

 

 

-perform only total body workouts

 

 

-perform only two-handed exercises

 

 

- keep on for at least 20′ and not more than 30′.This is a really gruel workout that will put your metabolism into a state of turbulence.

 

 

2. High intensity anaerobic interval training and especially sprinting is another excellent form of training towards your goal:turning your body into a fat burning machine.

 

 

You could also combine HIIT with resistance training.Just check an excellent workout by following the link:

The Best Tool For Losing Fat And Building Muscle

burn fat build muscle
Shawn Lebrun asked:


Resistance training is the best long-term tool for losing fat and building muscle.

The more lean muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn at rest and on the move. The more muscle tissue you possess, the more energy your body will require to maintain that muscle.

It gets that needed energy from burning and utilizing calories. And again, the more calories you burn, the more likely fat loss to occur.

Muscle is a very metabolically active tissue. It takes a lot of work for your body to maintain it. Fat, on the other hand, takes no work to maintain. It just sits there, lumped together like, well, fat.

This is an important concept in weight loss because the more lean muscle tissue you can build, the more calories that will be burned off, without you having to do any extra work. Your muscle will burn off more calories 24/7 than if you didn’t have that extra lean muscle.

This makes the case for why weight training, also known as resistance training, is so important to include in any weight loss program. Simply because if you can add a couple pounds of lean muscle to your frame, you’re going to burn off more calories, even while sleeping, than if you didn’t have that extra muscle.

The more calories you burn off at rest, the more likely that the calories burned off during exercise will create a calorie deficit in your body. A calorie deficit is a must for weight loss to occur.

Remember how weight gain occurs from consuming more calories than your body burns off during the day. Since there is no deficit of calories, your body does not have to dip into stored body fat to get energy. In fact, due to the surplus, it stores the extra calories as body fat.

If you create a calorie deficit, meaning, your body has used all of the energy from calories it has received from food and it still needs more (like to support muscle tissue) it is going to go after your fat stores to get that energy.

Fat is a highly condensed form of energy. So, when your body starts taking fat from fat stores to use as energy, that is how weight loss occurs.

Weight training may benefit any weight loss program, possibly more than any other component.

Weight training can be a future investment for permanent weight loss and weight maintenance because as you continue to lose stored body fat and gain lean muscle, your muscle will continue to aid in the calorie burning process.

As there becomes less stored body fat to use as energy, the muscle tissue will start to directly utilize the calories you consume on a daily basis.

Since there is now more muscle tissue than there is fat to utilize calories, chances of storing any excess calories as body fat is greatly reduced.

Resistance training may offer the most benefit of all to women past the age of menopause. It can help prevent or reverse the effects of osteoporosis by strengthening and maintaining bone density often lost by diet alone. So how much resistance training is necessary for long-term weight loss to be successful and to increase your lean muscle and strength? Not as much as you would probably think.

In fact, any more weight/resistance training than 2 to 3 hours a week may be counterproductive.

The best results I have witnessed while in the personal training field come from 3 sessions a week with weights, less than an hour each session.

Most people like the Monday, Wednesday, Friday approach to weight training. This leaves Tuesday and Thursday for cardio, which should be done separately from weight training.

Keep your weight training routine simple. It is more productive to focus effectively on a few tasks (exercises) than it is to work out with less intensity on many different ones.

On each set, try to progressively add a little more weight each time. Keep records of your weight lifts so you can try to outdo (progress) each and every workout!

Again, for the many weight loss and weight management benefits of weight training to occur, you do not have to stay for hours in the gym.

Give yourself 2 hours a week to do some form of resistance training.

If you cannot make it to a gym, invest in a pair of weight-adjustable dumbbells purchased from a nearby department store that you can use at home.

In fact, for less than the cost of a 3 month gym membership, you could probably purchase a great home gym set up with a couple pairs of dumbbells and maybe a bench and mat.

If that is even not within budget, simply lift what you have around the house, like water jugs (full, of course) or soup cans, or rocks from the garden.

Resistance is resistance and having your body progressively lift heavier weight will force it to become stronger and adapt to this demand placed upon it.

When you force your body to adapt to this resistance, it does so by creating new muscle tissue growth to handle the weight.

With this new tissue growth comes a new need for energy to maintain this muscle tissue. That is when stored fat is used and burned off.

That’s why weight training is the best tool for losing fat and building muscle.

The Top Ten Myths About Fat Burning

natural fat burning diet
Josh Stone asked:


Ah, you chefs! You tempt us with your delicacies, engross us with your artistic mastery, and seduce our senses into submission. That’s what you hear a lot of, isn’t it? The subject of weight gain and loss seems to come up a lot whenever there’s a chef in the room. But if you really want a response or two, here’s some myths about weight loss that the general public just keeps hanging on to. Put them to rest, and maybe your diners will start a fitness program that works – and quit blaming it all on your raspberry truffles.

#1. It is possible to lose fat in one location on your body, often called “spot reduction”.

Spot reducing simply and plainly does not work. When the body burns fat, it is lost throughout every area of the body at the same time. Focusing on one area of the body for exercise may develop better muscle tone in that area, which will make that part of the body appear tighter and more fit, but it will not remove fat from that area. It is important to exercise the whole body, in a well-balanced fashion; this is the best method of reducing weight.

This myth is popularized by those late-night commercials for cream that you rub on that area – which is simply ridiculous. Turn it around logically – have you ever seen someone gain weight by suddenly getting fat arms, while their legs stayed skinny?

#2. Doing aerobic exercise is the best way to burn fat.

Of course doing aerobics, like doing any exercise, is a good way to stay fit and burn fat. But, there is no particular benefit of aerobics that is substantially better at fat-reducing than any other type of exercise. In fact, weight-training and resistance-training builds more muscle, which may help the body to burn fat more quickly, because it is more work.

#3. Weight training will make my muscles bulk up.

Ew! Women don’t want to go around looking like a muscled freak! Well, actually, normal resistance exercise tones the body and improves overall fitness. Normal weight training does not build huge, bulky muscles. The weight trainers who look like a pile of boulders are actually doing that more with steroids, anaboloids, and protein powders, plus heavy strenuous lifting which can actually damage muscles with scar tissue in the long run.

#4. There is a pill that will make you lose fat, no matter how much you exercise or what you eat.

This is such complete and utter fraud, that the FDA is constantly shutting down these companies as soon as they pop up. There is no pill that will do anything to make you loose weight at all. The “best” weight loss pills will only be effective when combined with sensible eating and healthy exercise. And, surprise! Sensible eating and healthy exercise is effective without any kind of pills at all!

And most diet pills are made with ephedrine. Ephedrine is a naturally occurring stimulant very similar to the illegal street drug methamphetamine, whose effects are not as strong and are spread out over a longer time. Ephedrine is in fact the chief ingredient used to make methamphetamine! In other words, it’s like being hopped up on speed, with about the same short-term effects – temporary decreased appetite and increased activity – and the same long-term consequences: risk of heart attack, run-down immune system, relapse to former state as soon as the drug is no longer taken, etc.

#5. After 20 minutes of exercise, your body is burning mostly fat.

The body uses both carbohydrates and fat for energy all the time; walking, jogging, sitting, sleeping. Over the course of exercise, the body will use more fat. Burning reserved fat exercises the whole purpose of why nature has mammals build up fat in the first place. But there is no specific time, whether twenty minutes or two hours, when the body starts burning only fat.

#6. Eating late at night causes you to gain more fat than eating at different times of the day.

A calorie is a calorie, regardless of the time of day. However, the sense behind this one is that eating the biggest meal of the day just before bedtime, as most Westerners do, is almost guaranteed to turn more calories into fat than the same meal eaten at the start of the day just before beginning your activities. Add to this that the average dinner for a Westerner involves huge slabs of meat and piles of starch, with perhaps some high-fat dessert and snacks. Trying to sleep with a freshly full stomach is never good for the digestive system anyway. So this one isn’t as much of a myth as the others – but then, a huge breakfast followed by eight hours of virtual inactivity at a desk isn’t exactly the cure either.

#7. Cellulite is the hardest fat to burn.

Cellulite is simply a combination of fatty tissue and fluid, closer to the upper layers of the skin. Its dimply appearance may be unsightly, but the fat in cellulite is no different from any other body fat. Reducing calories and exercising is the best method to get rid of cellulite, just like it’s the best way to get rid of any other fat.

#8. If you eat no fat, you cannot get fat.

Any fuel that the body takes in which does not get burned as energy gets stored as fat. Absolutely, positively, regardless of whether that came from a chocolate cake, a slice of ham, a bowl of rice, or a stalk of celery. That’s right: there are no “negative calorie” foods; if you consumed enough lettuce and did nothing but eat all day, you’d get fat off of lettuce! However, we’re talking about more lettuce than the average person could wolf down… but if we have the same serving of calories from two kinds of foods, the weight-gain potential from each one is the same.

#9. Genes and hormones control your fat burning ability rather than diet and exercise.

While it is true that genes have some role in determining who is fat and who is thin, there is no reason that diet and exercise cannot control your weight. To this day, there has not been a single laboratory test confirming that a person had genes such that they would continue to have a weight issue in the face of a perfect balance of diet and exercise.

#10. Liposuction is one way of permanently removing excess fat cells.

Well, yes, liposuction will remove fat cells. But fat cells can just as easily be made by the body, whenever it wants to! Which is to say, there is no fixed number of fat cells that you were born with.

How to Lose Stomach Fat Fast

Lose Stomach Fat
Hairloss Expert asked:


There are many fat loss commercials that you see addressing questions such as “what to eat to lose weight fast? How to lose water weight fast? How fast can you lose weight?” But rarely do you see anything concerning how to lose stomach fat? People are anxious to know how to burn fat in the stomach area, I know I was. I am sure you know many people that are appear to be fit but yet they have excessive fat surrounding their abdominal area “stomach fat”.

For years commercials, television and infomercials have conditioned people to believe that fat loss will be proportional throughout the body once your weight is lost. This cannot be further from the truth, since most of us know that even if we lose our desired weight naturally there always is excessive fat around the stomach area. So how would one lose stomach fat fast? The answer is exercise and following a proven, natural and healthy diet plant. Keywords here being Natural and Proven. I discuss and review the plan which I and many celebrities use to lose weight on my site in more detail but to be brief I lost 53LBS within 5 months, more importantly got rid of excess fat on my stomach area. How you ask? By simply following a natural exercise routine and eating right 4-5 times a day. Notice I did not say eating less or starving yourself. Eating and Exercise go hand in hand to help you lose stomach fat, if you do one and not the other then you will not achieve rock hard abs.

The exercise plan on my site which I followed generally consisted of resistance or weight training combined with cardio and a sensible eating plan which created the calorie deficit I needed to burn all my fat and make my abs hard and visible. There is no easy answer but it is not hard or rocket science either, just follow a proven, natural and healthy diet plan and stick to it and you will see results within 30 days or less.
