Diet, Exercise, Mindset: The best combo to burn body fat

by admin on 11. Jan, 2010 in Dieting, Weight Loss Work Out Plans

Losing body fat needs concentrating on a program that deals psychosomatically; unless there are appropriate exercises and mindset strategies, even the best diets have been noticed not to come into any use. On the flip side, even if your diet structure is not the perfect one, with a proper mindset and an exercise regime (though of a higher intensity), one may expect spectacular results.

Let’s find out first why some people accumulate fat and others do not. The key to this problem is metabolism; someone inactive has a slower metabolic rate and that is because the body programmed itself towards fat-burning inefficiency and derives its necessary energy from the free carbohydrates. You do not empty your savings account when you have sufficient inflow of cash. It works similarly.

So the best way to start things over is by eliminating the post-lunch carbohydrate intakes. The body shall reprogram itself to burn fat due to the lack of free carbs and within a fortnight (more or less), you shall start discovering a new you.

Should you like to burn it a little more, opt for strength training. Strength training has been proved as the most effective among all exercises that help burn fat, even more than the oh-so-popular steady paced aerobic exercises. Besides optimizing metabolism, it shall also allow you to gain (and stay in) a good shape.

Regarding mindset, nothing is possible unless you are focused. If you are pumping irons while letting your mind moving astray, there shall hardly be any benefits, simply because of the reason that the full intensity cannot be reached. It also makes the motivation go down and the overall process stops before you even realize.

A quick tip here: Body fat percentage should never go below 8% and 15% for men and 10% and 20% for women; anything below that can be achieved only by unhealthy and unsustainable chemical means, which shall create more troubles than benefits in the long run. Agreed that the initial efforts shall be much easier, but staying high-spirited forever is obviously a better choice rather than being a high-tech fitness freak for a few days or months.

But above everything else, you must also keep your calorie intake under check. Remember that one gram of protein comprises 4 calories, whatever source (chicken, meat, fish or eggs, milk or protein powder); it’s the same with the carbs, whereas, with the fats and the oils, a gram shall deliver you with 9 calories. Try avoiding animal fats (because of LDL); oils from plants (rich in HDL) are much better. Regarding alcoholic beverages, a gram (i.e. 1 ml) of it contains 7 calories, much more than in non-fat milk (only 340 calories a liter) or orange juice (425 calories a liter).

That’s information enough towards a slimmer and trimmer you of tomorrow.

Atkins Diet: An extreme measure for big changes through rapid weight loss

by admin on 09. Jan, 2010 in Dieting, Weight Loss Work Out Plans

Extreme weight loss tips are found in galore; question remains, if they are free from any negative side effects. However, this is something that takes the backseat when radical results are promised; whether or not the tips prove themselves useful is a different question altogether, though the negative effects do not spare often.

Most of the times, it is a lack of commitment that forces people to take up the so-called magical weight-loss measures; other times, it’s confusion. Even then, some stop much before completing the prescribed span, which starts yet another chapter of agonies. However, there also co-exist extreme measures that are completely natural; the only problem with them is you really need being consistent if you want to shred down ASAP.

Not sure if you’ve come across anything called the Atkins diet; it is perhaps the best diet that helps losing a lot of weight within a real short span, yet keeping your health intact. The formula is quite simple; fatty foods with moderate amounts of protein with 10 grams or less of carbs. Definitely, it’s not the ideal diet to develop tons of muscle, but as far as healthy weight loss is concerned, it works out magically.

But the Atkins diet also has its downsides. It makes you feel grouchy, out of focus and unenergetic, so energy supplements are welcome, provided you stay within the prescribed dose of nutrients.

Consistency comes next; just like any project you undertake requires the specific time, so does weight loss. If you give up after a week or so simply because you are not seeing any results, the Atkins diet may backfire and help you heap some more pounds above what you had formerly. Sticking with it through thick and thin shall solve your weight related problems more proficiently than you may expect.

However, Atkins diet requires you to go for natural and organic foods and you must choose them in a way that you’ll enjoy eating continuously over a long span. So off with the pizzas, tacos and pastas, you must come up with some interesting alternatives.

Lastly, it’s about water. The more you have of it, the cleaner your system shall remain and trigger the fat burning procedure. Get rid of the misconception that diet sodas help you to reduce weight and no soda can take the place of clear and sparkling water. A gallon of cold water everyday and see your body fat going away.
