We
all know that burning fat and shedding off those excess pounds is a
challenge that goes in hand with dedication, hard work and most
importantly an increased awareness of your diet. But the good news is
that it is not as that complicated as you might think.
Here are 6 rules you can follow to burn those excess fat fast.
1. Eat healthy fats
Be sure to eat the good type of fat. Eat 2-3 servings daily of
monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids found in nuts, oils,
fish, avocados and chocolates.
2. Eat more protein
Protein is an essential nutrient your body needs and it also keeps
you full longer. Consume 3 servings of lean protein daily. This can be
found in white meat chicken/turkey, pork loin chops, lean beef sirloin
and fishes.
3. Fiber it up
Fiber keeps you feeling full longer which is a big help when you’re
losing weight. Opt to eat at least 20 grams of fiber daily from fruits,
vegetables and whole grains.
3. Up your vitamin D
Eat at least 3 servings of vitamin D and calcium rich foods for bone
strengthening and to help speed up weight loss. These nutrients can be
found in in foods such as dairy, yogurt and low fat milk.
5. Exercise
Studies have shown that dieting alone rarely works and weight loss
cannot be sustain without the much needed exercise. Just follow this
mornings exercise regularly every mornings.
Do intervals which are considered to be short bursts of intense
exertion interspersed with periods of slower activity. These are proven
to improve fitness and burn fat more quickly compared to a long,
moderate bouts of exercise.
Resistance work is also important to build muscle. This will also
increase fat burning even after you have finished with your workout
because the body needs to burn extra calories in order to repair muscle.
6. Drink tea
Green or black tea helps in fat loss by helping to reduce the
cortisol levels that promote fat storage in the midsection. But green
tea has the most advantage of containing higher amounts of
epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG that helps your body burn more calories
all day.
