There are a lot of tips out there that help you lose weight but only a few of them will actually make you a fat burning machine 24/7. You see, the idea here is to keep burning the fat off even when you leave the gym. Whether you are in the office working, at home watching tv, or sleeping, you can burn fat!
The theory behind it is maximizing your body's metabolism. Having a higher metabolism throughout the day will make your body burn more energy 24/7. When this happens, it becomes easier for you to create that deficit between the calories you burn during the day and the calories that you eat.
When you increase your metabolism while maintaining the number of calories you eat, you create a calorie deficit that is conducive to lose weight!
Here are 7 tips that will help you become a lean fat burning machine! Using a tip on losing weight a day into your daily life will help build that body you want in no time.
1. Commitment
Okay, this is the most underestimated tip in your arsenal. You can have all the programs, all the pills, all the supplements that promise you that flat stomach or 6-pack abs and still you can look like a slob because you tried the program for 3 months, saw some progress, called yourself "boy/girl fatloss" and started binging again in front of your TV. Commitment to the program and to your ideal body is very important. Unless you are truly committed to the goal at hand, you will never get anywhere near that 6 pack or flat stomach.
2. Be ready to make a sacrifice
Simply put, if you're not willing to pay the price: working out, eating the right food, etc. You will not make the cut and say goodbye to your fatloss hopes and dreams.
3. Do HIIT Cardio!
This cardio program is modelled after a sprinter's training program. Have you ever seen a sprinter without a flat stomach or a 6 pack? You can also see that they are significantly more muscular and better looking than their marathon runner counterparts? This is so because HIIT cardio spikes up the body's metabolism into INSANE levels without eating a lot of energy that can reduce your muscle gains. There are a lot of versions of HIIT Cardio but the one I use personally is this.
Sprint - 30 seconds - Rest 30 seconds
Do that for 4 minutes on your first 3 sessions and try to add a minute each session until you reach 12.
Let me warn you: if this is your first time to do this you can last 4 minutes and didn't break a sweat then you're probably doing it wrong. When I say sprint, you go all out until you "shake like a leaf". Up the INTENSITY.
This program alone will turn your body into a fat burning furnace!
4. Make sure to eat and eat well!
You know, fat loss doesn't have to equate to starving. If you starve, the more chances you binge in the long run. Do not deplete yourself of energy!!! But don't eat too much either. Maintain the balance, eat 6 times a day of clean food (no Mcdonalds, etc.)
5. Keep yourself Hydrated
What does water have to do with burning fat? EVERYTHING. Almost every process in the body involves water. When you don't hydrate yourself properly, metabolic processes in your body SLOW DOWN. This is bad news for you if you're trying to burn fat!!!
6. Eat a lot of Greens!
Fiber rich foods not only clean your digestive tract but they also are more dense in the stomach. You satiate more quickly when you include a lot of greens/salads in your diet. When you do this, you reduce your chances of binging on junk food and the like!
7. Treat yourself!
These tips put a lot of strain to your body. Don't forget to treat yourself from time to time. Buy yourself a new shirt, shoes, or ice cream! (just don't do it often) It will be easier for you to be committed to your goal if you reward yourself from time to time. Remember your Psychology101, positive-reinforcement!
So there they are your 7 tips to fitness! Hope you find them useful! [http://www.myextrastash.com/burnthefat]Did you like the tips? More of them in this program here!
