Here are four of the basic, absolute truths concerning fat loss. You may not want to hear or believe them, but they are the truth.
Eat 5 to 6 meals per day for optimal fat burning. To keep the fat-furnace cooking, you should add extra, smaller meals to your day, not skip your regular ones. When you eat a balance of nutritionally dense foods, including protein, healthy fats, unprocessed carbohydrates, fresh fruits and non-starchy vegetables, your food digests more slowly and you don't get that famished hungry feeling.
Get proper amount of sleep. Around 7 hours a night is optimal. If you're getting too little sleep and depending on caffeine and sugar for energy, your adrenal glands are probably working overtime--and fattening you up.
Some form of physical activity or exercise will speed up the fat loss process. It will also just make you healthier. When you exercise with intervals and heavy resistance training, your body uses more calories in the hours after exercise than it would if you did traditional cardio and lifted lighter weights.
You have to COMMIT to changing your lifestyle. We tend to forget that the number one fat loss agent is our mind.
Most of us understand that in order to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume. The bottom line is that if you want to lose weight then you need to follow a good fat burning plan that includes some exercise. There are no potions or magic pills that can make you slimmer -- the ONLY way to get slimmer is to begin a healthy eating and exercise program and stick with it.
If you do not eat properly, you will never lose weight. So, the first and most important step is to convince yourself that you really have to lose weight. Losing fat may not seem to be the easiest thing to do, but if you put your mind to it, you will discover it is not only possible but very achievable.
