Everything You Wanted To Know Regarding Fat Reduction

Having extra fat in the body is never desirable, whether a person is a man or a woman. Extra fat means that there is a normal level of fat that one should maintain in his body for normal desirable health. If one gets health advice from any place that teaches him how to lose all the body fat that is just a recipe for disaster. One should firstly know how much fat his body needs and why it is important to maintain that.

The minimum fat level, which may vary by body type, gender, age etc, keeps his body running smoothly. The fat that one's body store is an emergency supply of energy. When one's body has no other source of energy, it draws on the stored fat.

What this means is, people who try to burn fat simply by starving actually force their body down the path of burn the carbohydrates, then burn the muscle and then burn the fat. The body trained to burn muscle tissues first. What on earth one will have to move around with. So the fact is that, fasting diet can only eliminate all traces of fat from the body.

One must eat less, and never stop eating, but reduce the amount of food he eats. This will stop the fat from storing in his body. One should cut the calories intake by 20% and then see the results. If the body weight starts to drop, then he can maintain this level. If the body weight is still increasing one should drop another 10%. These calories cuts should come at intervals of a week. People should make sure that the diet components they cut are fats like pizza; French fries etc. One should retain healthy fats like olive oil, and avocados.

Eating less does never mean eat 1 packet of chips instead of four. A person is not going to help himself unless the quality of the food increases. And one should never mind what they say in the advertisements, potato chips are potatoes boiled in oil. A healthy diet is one in which people have 45% protein, 35% carbohydrates and 20% fats. The proteins help building and maintain muscle tissues. The carbohydrates are needed while one exercise and the fat intake maintain the body's minimum level but not get stored.

One should maintain his body muscle. The focus should be losing fat, not muscle. If one continually work his muscles while cutting back on the fat, he automatically burn fat. If the body becomes trained to build muscle, then it will not have extra energy to store as fat. Hence one must develop a workout routine and stick to it with consistency.

People should burn more Calories. When one is working to lose fat, the plan is to burn more calories than he consume. This deficit will cause the body to draw on its storage of fat in turn. Since one will be exercising to maintain muscle at the same time, he will not risk losing muscle mass.

If some one is not one those who can cut back on food then should do cardio. Cardiovascular exercises helps to eat more and still burn fat. One should do cardio for about 30 minutes 3 times a week. One should never eat after a cardio workout because that just destroys the whole purpose of burning the stored fat.
