Everyone seems to be looking for that miracle of weight loss. Fad diets, yo-yo diets, copying some crazy diet because you’ve seen some super skinny celebrities on it. They are all destined for failure.
In this article, you’ll learn what it takes to drop your body fat percentage in just a few weeks… but it’s not limited to that. What happens after you lose a little bit of fat… you are and you stop exercising, you stop eating right and “oh psto” you’re back to the beginning again.
Healthy and regular exercise should be a way of life. Not just a quick fix. The question you need to ask yourself is do you want to lose fat fast just for a quick fix or do you want a better quality of life for the rest of your life?
Diet and Nutrition:
I think it’s safe to say by now that everyone in the world knows that fast food is the worst kind of food someone looking to lose weight can eat. Not only this but fast food is full of trans fat (worst form of fat) which along with LDL cholesterol clogs your arteries which can lead to heart problems in later life.
To combat the LDL cholesterol in your body, you need to eat foods like oatmeal, almonds and whole grains. These foods are full of fiber and are sources of good fats.
Physllium husks are another great source of fiber. They are also believed to lower the level of LDL cholesterol in your blood, which is a good thing. To help keep you regular and keep your heart healthy, take 1–3 teaspoons of physlium husk in a glass of water once daily.
By eating 6+ small meals per day, your metabolism will speed up and aid in your fat loss goals.
Exercise:
Weight training burns more calories than cardio vascular exercise!!! So next time you exercise, swap out the treadmill for an hour of weight training. Do full body compound movements 3 times a week with at least 48 hours of rest between workouts.
Do cardio vascular exercise 1-2 times per week.
