How to Lose Body Fat

Get ready, it’s time to answer the question how do I lose body fat?  I know a lot of people that are conscious about their weight.  If you notice things like climbing up the stairs is becoming increasingly difficult then you may want to have a look in the mirror.  Those lunches out aren’t helping that’s for sure.  If you’ve made a decision to get this part of your life handled then good for you, most people can’t even be bothered to do the research.   They blame genetics or their job or their love for food.  Stop it now.

Stop making excuses!!!

Unless you have a severe medical condition controlling your body fat percentage is something you can do.  In this article were going to cover some of the main reasons why people don’t lose weight how to change that.

The fat loss tips and diets out there are not something people can stick to

Let’s face it, in order to change the composition of our body we need a good long term plan we can stick to.  A crash diet for fat loss isn’t going to cut it.  What you need are a select number of rules to follow.  For example, a great rule to follow is keep your sugar to less than 20 grams a day.  If you find yourself drinking a can of pop a day, that is over 40 grams of sugar.  This is doing nothing for your help, it’s actually hurting you significantly. 

Reducing your sugar will not only help you lose body fat, but it will lower your risk of disease.  Things like heart disease and diabetes are common in those whos diet are high in sugar.

If you cut the sugar out for just one week you will notice yourself have more energy, you will probably lose a few pounds and you will feel better overall.

Consistency is the name of the game

That’s right, the best diet and nutrition or training plan out there is useless if not put into action with consistent effort.  This is a majorly important point.  So what should you do then?

Create a plan that you can stick too.  Ease into it and don’t go all out right away. 

Take a couple weeks to slowly reduce the sugar in your diet.  Build up so you’re eating 4 meals a day, then 5 meals a day, then 6.  When you ease into things there is a much higher chance that you will stick to your plan.  Hence why a lot of diets don’t work.  They force you to jump straight into the deep end when you should start in the shallow. 

Here are a few fat loss principles that help me get into shape and lose unwanted pounds.

•          Reduce sugar
•           Eat more (smaller) meals throughout the day
•           Get in my cardio regardless of how busy I am
•           Pre pack meals so you have no excuse not to eat properly
•           Drink more water (8-12 cups a day) – even more if you’re training hard

These are fundamental tips but they will do wonders for helping you lose body fat.
