Burn Fat, Build Muscle, And Get Into The Shape Of Your Life

If you are looking to burn fat, build muscle, and feel better there are several things you should be doing, and things that you shouldn't do. In this article, I will give you three dos and three don'ts that will lead to a fitter, thinner you.

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Don't #1 - Extreme Diets are Extremely Bad

Don't be bamboozled by the newest weight loss plans. All assert that they have the best way of helping you to burn fat, build muscle, and get in shape. This is great for public relations and media hype, but that doesn't translate to a healthier you. Many of these weight loss plans will help you to lose weight in the short run, but they cannot be kept up. I have many friends who have lost a lot of weight doing a low or no carb diet. And do you know what happened after they quit? They put all the weight back on, and usually significantly more.

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Do #1 - Do Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet

To burn fat, build muscle, and get the lean body that you want, you need to make sure that you are eating right. Eat a diet that has plenty of proteins and plenty of fiber, while staying away from processed foods (the hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial trans fats in most processed foods are a definite diet killer). Carbohydrates are , as long as they are balanced with fiber. Fruits are great because they are packed with fiber, but juices are not because they are just empty sugar and calories.

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Don't #2 - Don't Just Do Cardio

Contrary to popular belief, cardio is not the only way to begin burning fat and building muscle. For a tone body, cardio is nearly useless. 30 to 40 minutes 3 days a week on a treadmill may burn a few calories, but it will not change your metabolism or your body's hormonal response to exercise.

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Do #2 - Do Interval Training

A higher intensity interval training program is way better if you want to burn fat, build muscle, and get into shape. Your heart needs training at changing levels to help it to handle the stresses that life brings, and interval training gives better results in much less time.

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Don't #3 - Lay Off The Pills

If a diet program talks about diet pills, run! Nearly all (I say nearly because it is possible that there is a legitimate one out there, but I don't know of any) diet pills are a complete waste of money. Just like there is no actual get rich quick scheme, there is no lose weight quick capsule. Just trust me on this one, steer clear!

Burn Fat, Build Muscle Do #3 - Do Be Disciplined and Stick With It

Just like anything, to be successful at changing your body to burn fat, build muscle, and look great, is going to take some work. Pick a weight loss program and don't quit. If it is a good program, it will not promise momentary results, and you should not want them. Stick with the program and as your way of eating become a habit, your results will quicken as well.
