Troubleshooting Tips If You Cant Lose All The Fat

     Even if you have the best of intentions, it can be difficult to lose all the fat as quickly or efficiently as you like. This can be frustrating, angering and make you feel like a failure. If you find that your body isn't changing, there are a few factors you can manipulate to lose all the fat more easily.

But before we list them, you need to ask yourself a few questions first. At this stage of the game, you must be honest. First, are you creating a proper deficit of calories? Are you eating between five and seven meals per day in two or three hour intervals? Are you making the right choices when it comes to protein, carb and fats?

Are you drinking water as your primary liquid? Are you staying away from processed and refined foods? Do you stay on your weight training and cardio plan at the gym? Do you give it your all every time you work out? These are all necessary factors to lose all the fat.

If you think about it, the answer to one or two of these questions might be "no." If that's true, then you don't need to adjust any other factor. Make the adjustment and you're likely to have better luck.

But if you truly believe that the answer to each of those seven questions is "yes," then we'll move to the next step. There are eight factors you can toy with to see if it makes a difference in the program.

1) Increase the frequency of your cardio sessions. If you're doing three weekly cardio sessions, bump it to five. Your fat-burning metabolism might need some extra "oomph" to get the party started.

2) Ramp up the intensity during gym time. This applies for both weight training and cardio. You must push harder, provided you don't have any injuries that make this impossible.

3) The next step is to lower your caloric intake. Now, you don't want to go overboard with this. You might find that shedding body fat isn't as hard if you reduce the number of calories by 100-200.

4) If that didn't work, try increasing your meal intervals. If you're currently consuming five meals a day, try increasing it to seven. This can help rev up your metabolism and lose all the fat faster.

5) Don't indulge in a "cheat day" While everyone's tempted to indulge occasionally, you should avoid it if you're not seeing results. You might be consuming more calories than you realizing when "cheating."

6) The easiest factor to manipulate is to drink more water.

7) Try to get more sleep. Weight loss can be hindered by not getting enough sleep. Your workouts will lack energy. Your body can't build and repair muscle tissues as efficiently. It triggers a hormone that makes you hungrier. It actually can stop the weight-loss process. If you can swing a few extra hours of sleep per night, you might see a difference.

8) Instead of the 45/30/20 macronutrient ratio, try something different. Adjust the ratios by 5-10 percent and see which one works for you.

By playing around with these eight adjustable factors, you should find that you can lose all the fat more easily. If there's still a problem, then you must work harder -- the factor that needs tinkering is you!
