If you have excess fat stored in your body and would like to get rid of it, one of the smartest things to do is start off with small life style changes that will take your body to a healthier mode of living. Going straight for a diet plan or a weight loss regime may not be the strongest way to lose weight, chances with an approach like this are that you would quit on the diet, or your body may crash as a result of sudden drop in calories. Avoid going for drastic measures that may pose a failure threat, because many people gain more weight out of sheer disappointment in failing a diet.
The simple lifestyle changes I was taking about involve improving your eating habits, the choices of food that you make and getting some activity into your life. Specifically you can do the following to burn fat;
1. Drink Green Tea: green tea is natural herbal tea which has been used for centuries for help in weight loss. Ancient Chinese doctors used to advice a cup of green tea a day to lose fat. Green tea contains caffeine and ECGG. Taking natural greed tea is better than taking green tea supplements, because the natural brewed tea has many other compounds, the affects of which have not yet been fully studied, but health experts maintain that the brewed tea is better than the pill.
2. Lower Simple Carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates, also called the refined sugars such as white sugar, are something you want gone from your diet. These carbs are easily converted to fat by the body, they give you a quick boost of energy, but the energy also dies down just as quickly and the calories end up on your waistline. Focus on eating whole grain cereals, whole wheat, brown rice, brown sugar, etc. these are unrefined, complex carbs. They take longer to digest and therefore, don't add to the fat stores. They are also a much healthier source of getting glycogen stores in your body without giving abnormal surges to the blood sugar level.
3. Exercise: exercise is the key ingredient to healthy burning of fat. Fat builds up in your body because the calories that you got from your food didn't have a source for utilization. When this happens, the body stores the unused calories as fat. Exercising regularly makes use of the calories. In also increases your metabolism. When you're aiming to burn fat, the smart thing to do is to go for cardio workouts. A light cardio workout of 30 minutes, five days a week should not only have you feel amazing, it will also bring a noticeable decrease in your size. The cardio workouts don't have to be intense cycling or mountain climbing, you can start off with light activities such as brisk walking, jogging, etc.
4. Positive Self-Image: a positive self-image is important for a healthy physique. What you think of yourself will always be projected in your appearance. Acknowledge the fact that being overweight is a problem for your health, but because you value yourself as an individual, you are taking measure for your own well being. A positive mind set is mandatory and will give you the motivation needed to succeed.
