Fat Loss Basics

Want to burn fat faster than a speeding jackrabbit?

Then follow these tips! No matter what kind of quick weight loss method you're using, most or all of these fundamentals should come into play...

Exercise

  • Perform some form of resistance training 3-4 times per week (about 45 minutes per session)
  • Perform moderate to high intensity cardio (aerobic) exercise 2-3 times per week (at least 20 minutes per session)
  • If you can, do your cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to burn more fat

Diet

  • Eat 5-6 well-balanced meals/snacks per day
  • Each meal should be roughly 30% fat, 30% protein, and 40% carbs
  • Eat the right kinds of foods: lean meats, eggs, protein shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt, nuts, seeds, olive & flax oil, salmon, tuna, vegetables, fruit, oatmeal, brown rice, beans, whole-grain breads and pasta
  • Drink between a half and a full gallon of water each day
  • Have a "cheat meal" once per week where you can eat anything you like

Supplements

  • Use a high-quality multi-nutrient formula every day
  • Use whey protein powder to increase your lean protein intake, stabilize blood sugar, and increase metabolism
  • Take an L-Glutamine supplement (to help keep lean muscle tissue while dropping fat) once or twice per day
  • Take an Essential Fatty Acid supplement like Flax Seed Oil every day
  • If you tolerate them well, use herbal fat burners to help speed up fat loss


Obviously, this all can seem a bit overwhelming at first. That's especially true if you've never followed an intense weight loss program before.
