Ever wondered why there are so many diets around out there
and people are just getting fatter and fatter. We now know
that fad and repeat dieting don't work, so what does! I
have put together 10 fat loss tips below and if followed
will make things a lot easier for you on your road to fat
loss.
Lets have a look at a few:
Burn Fat: Lift Weights - Muscle determines
the speed of your metabolism - the speed of your metabolism
depends on how much muscle you have. That's why men burn
fat faster than women... They have more muscle. Women could
burn fat faster if they had more muscle.
Women are scared to lift weights because they will get
bigger muscles!! If only this was were the case. Women do
not have the hormone levels to build big muscles, however
they can replace the muscle tissue lost through years of
crazy dieting, irregular eating habits and age.
Yes everybody is losing muscle, every year; every decade
because we are getting older, but only people who let their
muscles waste away have slower metabolisms as they get older.
Keep your muscles and keep your fat burning machine! The
only way to do this is get strong and stay strong.
Toss The Scales - The scales tell you
none of the things you need to know about your body and
everything you don't. They don't tell you how much fat you
have under your skin, they don't tell you how much skin
for that matter. The scales can't tell you how much fluid
is in your body.
What your bones weigh and most importantly, how much muscle
you have? However, weighing yourself can turn a perfectly
good day into a miserable day? Don't let an inanimate, household
item determine what kind of day you will have! They are
not accurate so throw them away.
Muscle Vs Fat - Muscle weighs two times
as much as fat yet takes up half the space. Muscle is responsible
for burning fat. Muscle is small when compared with fat.
Muscle never hangs off your body in unsightly lumps.
Muscle looks toned, tight, strong and lean. Muscle is tight
and hard to the touch and muscle is heavy. Fat is lumpy
and soft and flabby, fat takes up a lot of space, fat hangs
off your body. Fat is also soft to the touch and does not
weigh as much as muscle.
Always Eat Breakfast - Research has concluded
that having breakfast is important to kick-start the metabolism
for the day, the body slows down whilst sleeping and food
first thing in the morning actually awakens the body ready
for the rest of the day. Also try eating more fibre at this
time as it helps the digestive system work more effectively
and will help keep the blood sugar levels spread evenly
throughout the day.
