Official Fat Loss Tips – Lose Body Fat Fast

Sick and tired of not being able to lose that dreaded body fat?

There are many reason why you aren’t seeing the desired results you hope for.  Maybe it’s because you’re hoping in the first place.  Maybe it’s because you can’t stick to a set plan long enough to see the changes.  Most commonly – people just don’t understand the fundamentals of fat loss.

I had a friend come over the other day.  He was asked to bring some food with him.  Enclosed was a bag of tootsie rolls, chocolate covered rice crispy squares, rice cakes and a large pizza.  I am sure you can spot a few wrong things in this line-up.  He proceeded to offer each and every food item he brought – about 3 times.  I respectfully declined and had my last meal of the night, some cottage cheese and fruit. 

The fact of the matter is, I love junk food.  I really do.  But you have to say no sometimes.  So what’s our plan of attack then?

Stop wondering how to lose body fat, and start applying the tips listed below.

1 Start saying NO more often.  You heard me.  When you’re offered a slice of pizza, say no.  When you’re offered to go for beer and wings, say no.  This is a huge hang up for people and rightfully so.  If you can muster up the will power to say no, especially to the things that you are used to enjoying you will start to see dramatic results in your appearance.

2 Eat less than you need to maintain.  You can eat McDonalds or Pizzahut and still lose weight if you want.  I don’t advise it by any means but it’s possible.  Start selecting healthy foods and incorporate them into your diet.  You don’t have to do it all at once.  Add a piece of fruit a day for a couple weeks.  Add a salad and some veggies thereafter.  You get the picture.  Start picking healthier lower calorie alternatives that help you stay below your caloric maintenance.  This is a sure fire way to lose body fat. 

3 Stop the cardio and start the weights.  Cardio is not a magical weight loss solution.  It’s far from it in fact.  For better composition, higher basal metabolic rate and more effective fat loss start training with weights at least 3 times a week.  This is fundamental for successful fat loss.  You don’t need an hour of cardio every day.  What you do need is 3 times a week in the gym followed by a somewhat healthy meal plan that keeps you in a caloric deficit over an extended period of time.

I will summarize this last point quickly by providing a example template for you.

Weight training:

Monday: Chest and Back

Wednesday: Shoulders and Arms

Friday: Legs

Cardio: Never

Each day choose healthy meals that leave you satisfied while keeping in a caloric deficit.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with cinnamon and cut up apple, 2 eggs.

Lunch:  Chicken breast, white rice and veggies.

Dinner:  Salmon and mixed greens.

See, easy peasy.  By the way, cardio can be done if you enjoy it.  I recommend things other than the cardio equipment at the gym. Try boxing, sports, or outdoor activities.  Anything that involves getting out of the house is great.  Steady state cardio at the gym bores me to death and the miniscule calories burnt is just not worth time or effort.  I’d rather just cut out a cookie or 2 from daily food consumption.  Much easier.

To your body re-composition and your fat loss success,
