Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Losing Weight the Right Way

The weight loss bandwagon grows every year, with more and more people trying to find a spot on its crowded confines. There is a flood of new diets, weight loss pills, and bizarre exercise gizmos that follow along in its wake, hoping to entice the weight losing public with their claims of quick and easy weight loss. But the question you need to ask your self is this, do you want to lose weight, or do you want to burn the fat and feed your muscle?

There is an important distinction to be made here because there is a difference between losing weight, which is an all encompassing term, and losing fat, which is a specific goal. There are different ways to lose weight, one of which is to decrease the amount of body fat you carry around, which is beneficial in many health related ways.

You can also lose weight by cutting off one of your legs, but this is not beneficial to your health and well being in any way. Many people diet to the point that they are no longer losing body fat but in fact start to lose muscle mass, bone density, and water volume which can affect your fitness goals and have serious health consequences.

If the concept of losing weight by getting rid of excess body fat appeals to you then the fat loss principle outlined in the downloadable ebook Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle may be just what you are looking for. It teaches you the healthy way to get rid of all that adipose tissue you've been carting around.

Many weight loss programs promise quick results but they don't promise long term results because they seldom have a plan in place to help you maintain that ideal weight once you reach it. There are three "Truths" about mainstream weight loss programs that the Burn the Fat program will help you overcome.

1. Permanent Fat Loss - Right around 95% of people who lose weight gain it all back. In many cases they end up gaining even more weight back and become disillusioned with the whole weight loss process. The key to preventing this is a sensible diet and exercise program.

2. Metabolism - By tapping into this fat burning engine you can not only lose all that body fat you can keep it off. This is where most diets fail. They restrict your caloric intake which can lead to a metabolism slow down. Your body will also start to turn on itself, metabolizing its muscle mass to meet its energy needs. Your muscle is your most powerful fat burning tool and losing to much can create serious health issues.

3. Magic Weight Loss Pills - They make big promises when it comes to losing weight but do they work for the long term. The raise your metabolism and suppress your hunger temporarily by using a stimulant such as caffeine, but the effects are short lived. You have to keep popping pills to maintain the effects, which is not a good long term solution. You can gain a more permanent metabolism increase by eating a healthy diet and exercising, which is the right way to get rid of body fat and keep it off.

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is a diet and exercise lifestyle that will take work and dedication to get the results you want. But if you want to successfully "lose weight" taking short cuts will help you achieve the strong healthy body you want.
