4 Sure-Fire Tips For Effective Weight Loss

Are you just plain fed up because you haven’t lost weight for a
long time now on that latest fad diet, well please stop! Don’t
even think about trying another diet, because it will only
produce the same results as you have already seen before.

Have a look at the four sure fire tips found below that are
based on “Scientific Principles” that have always been around,
but are not followed by the majority of weight loss programs you
see these days.

So let’s have a look:

1. Increasing Your Metabolism

In order to produce Sustained, Permanent and Long-Term Weight
Loss, it’s imperative that you boost your metabolism. And the
most effective way to raise your metabolism is to have a greater
proportion of functional muscle on your body.

The only way to build this lean muscle so you can raise your
metabolism is through “Strength Training”. There’s no other
method that works wonders on the Metabolism like Strength
Training.

By performing Strength Training, you’ll effectively increase the
amount of functional lean muscle on your body so that your
metabolism will elevate.

After a Strength Training session your body will undergo a
significant increase or “Spike” in Metabolism, which will allow
you to burn much more fat then you were able to before.

2. It’s All About Lean Muscle

“The amount of fat the body can burn is directly related to the
more lean muscle your body can hold.”

If your muscle system can sustain more energy and use this
energy significantly when performing strength training, then it
will be able to burn off the calories you eat and the excess fat
on your body.

In other words, if your muscles become stronger and can hold
more energy then you should be able to release this energy more
efficiently to increase your metabolism, and to burn off excess
calories that you have eaten.

Once we can build more lean muscle through our own strength,
then our bodies will become more efficient at burning fat.

It’s also the amount of lean muscle on your body that makes you
look good Once you burn off the excess fat from your body, the
lean muscle underneath your skin will be exposed making you look
healthy, energetic, and well toned.

3. Decrease Your Daily Calories

For years now, we have been told to use dieting to rid the
excess fat from our bodies.

The trouble with this concept is that the low calorie restricted
diet would throw the body into starvation mode, with the body
holding onto the fat and using precious muscle tissue for
energy.

This would then lower the metabolism causing greater muscle loss
and when the diet is broken the unwanted fat would not only
return but actually increase because to the lowered metabolism.

The way around this is to cut your daily calorie intake by a
small amount of calories only. This will stop any starvation
mechanisms from clicking in. You can do this by making up a
seven day eating plan and writing down every thing you eat for
the week, and then work out the calories you have eaten with a
calorie counter. Divide this figure by seven and you have your
daily calorie value.

Decrease daily calorie value by a couple of hundred calories per
day and no more. This will generate slow weight loss and the
majority will be fat loss only. The daily calories should be
consumed during the day with small frequent meals.

4. Fast Walking Burns Fat

All you need to do now is incorporate “Fast Walking” into your
weight loss program to hasten the burning of excess fat.

Not only is fast walking better much easier on the hips, but it
also produces a greater percentage of fat loss as opposed to
jogging or running.

Here are some of the benefits of Fast Walking.

· Easy to Perform · Most Conventional · All Natural Body
Movement · Doesn’t Cause Injuries · Can Be Done Anywhere · The
Best Minimal Effort Exercise for Fat Loss

“I can’t stress enough how Fast Walking is necessary in every
weight loss program.”

them to your weight daily weight loss regime.
