So Tell Me... How Do You Burn The Fat?

Ultimately, the key to steady weightloss is to burn the fat
that is stored in various parts of the body at a regular
pace. But how do you burn the fat when it seems so rigidly
in place?

Fad diets that consist of counting calories in a variety of
different ways only last as long as you are "on" them. Once
you stop, annoyingly, so too does the weightloss. Even more
frustrating, is the fact that many times, a year down the
track, not only have you put back the weight you originally
lost, but you have added to it as well!

Tasty slimming shakes and specially prepared foods don't
burn the fat stores either, they simply reduce your calorie
intake. Again, as soon as you stop taking them, your
weightloss stops too.

Changing the way you eat can help reduce the calories,
contributing to weightloss, but again, don't burn the fat
stores that you need to in order to regain the shape you
desire. Simply eliminating the fat in foods doesn't
necessarily mean that you will eliminate the fat on you. In
fact, some fats are good for you – such as those found in
fish, nuts, olives, and seeds.

So what is the key to weightloss and looking great? What is
the secret to managing not to move, but to burn the fat
that you have found so hard to shift until now? I'll tell
you. Metabolism.

By speeding up your metabolism, your body will
automatically burn the fat stores gradually and evenly all
over your body, resulting in a steady weightloss and
returning it to the state it once was.

Since it is not possible to choose one particular place on
your body with extra fat such as the hips, thighs, stomach,
or bum and just burn the fat from the stores in those
areas, it's necessary for you to do an overall job – on the
whole body.

In order to speed up your metabolism, burn the fat and lose
weight, you need to exercise. Although there are two types
of exercise – anaerobic and aerobic, the latter has the
advantage that it will continue to burn the fat stores even
after you stop exercising.

The longer and harder you have been exercising, the longer
your body will continue to burn the fat stores for, adding
to your weightloss – even if you are doing nothing but
watching TV! You do aerobic exercise when you walk, swim,
or cycle.

Weightlifting falls into a slightly different category.
Although it does not increase your metabolism, it is an
activity that will burn the fat through increasing your
lean muscle. In fact, for every extra pound of muscle you
put on, you will burn 40-50 more calories, so it's an
excellent exercise for weightloss!

Ironically, eat! To aid weightloss and burn the fat stores
on your body, you need to kick-start your metabolism, which
slows down when you don't eat, particularly overnight. So a
big breakfast is very important.

Eating little and often – around 6 times a day – will also
help to maintain a higher metabolism helping your body burn
the fat stores, resulting in weightloss.

That said, it's also important to watch what you eat.
Weightloss never occurs when you eat loads of deep-fried,
sugary, and convenience foods which are high in fat and low
in nutrition. Try instead to go for foods that are high in
fibre – such as spinach or bran – and limit toxins such as
alcohol, sweets, and caffeine. Also, drink lots of water,
around 8 glasses each day.

Apart from the weightloss and shaping of your body, an
increased metabolism also provides you with more energy.

So what are you waiting for? Burn the fat, lose weight and
feel great the natural way!
