What are the keys to blasting fat and losing weight? There are many theories out there but the following 5 are tried and true. If you're looking to lose weight and reduce body fat these steps are crucial to your success.
1) Weight train
Weight training is proven to add muscle and rev up your metabolism. Those that are only doing cardiovascular work are missing a key ingredient to losing weight. The more muscle on your frame the more calories you burn at rest. At least 2-3 times per week of 20-30 minutes and you'll soon see benefits.
2) Burst train to blast fat
Scientific research now shows that bursting or interval training is even better than traditional aerobic exercise done at the same speed. What's better is that it takes even less time and burns more calories once you are finished than that boring treadmill routine.
3) Eat a good breakfast
Many still struggle despite knowing the importance of this. Research shows those who eat a good breakfast (400-500 calories) are more apt to lose weight and reduce their cravings during the course of the day.
4) Replace one meal with a protein drink
Why? Because those that do lose more weight and keep it off. It's easy and full of quality nutrition. The basics are whey or brown rice protein, ground flax and fruit. Want to increase the nutritional content and make it even more filling-add green food powder, lecithin, vitamin C, almonds and or yogurt.
5) Avoid high fructose corn syrup
Not only will high fructose corn syrup make you hungrier it will make you store fat too. Read ingredient labels and steer clear of this sugar.
