How Would I Go About Burning Body Fat

So you have been working out hard as well as eating right but you still can not seem to get of those extra few pounds of fat. But if you want to know how to burn fat you do not need just to exercise consistently as well as trying to eat right there are something other things you can do which will help.

1. Count those Calories
If you restrict the amount of calories that you intake you will end up losing muscle tissue rather than burning the fat. Using a crash diet simply does not work. It will only lower the body's temperature and this causes the thyroid to slow down which in turn slows down the metabolism. A person's metabolism needs to be high in order to burn fat.

2. Breakfast
Ensure that you eat breakfast each morning which contains both carbohydrates and protein as well as a little fat in order to boost your metabolism for the rest of the day. Remember that eating breakfast is the first opportunity you will have to bring your blood sugar levels back up to normal after you have been sleeping and fasting all night.

3. Weight Training
Muscles help burn calories. So the more muscles you have the more calories you will burn even when you are resting. It is important that any weight training you do is relatively intense and your reps should between 15 to 20 of each exercise. Also train at least every day or if not at least 3 times a week. You should only spend an hour each day weight training and no more.

4. Increase your Heart Rate
Doing cardio exercises helps to burn fat. But if you happen to being doing some cardio exercises religiously and yet fat loss is not taking place then you need to increase the intensity of your sessions but not the length. Any cardio exercise session you do should last no longer than 45 minutes.

5. Dieting
By going on a special diet, you can help your body rid itself of unwanted fat fast. It's proven that Dr. Atkin's Diet, as well as any similar kind of diets, can help reduce large amount of body fat in a very short period of time. I've seen men of 200 lbs of body weight lose fat and get slim in just 4 weeks, having reduced close to 20 lbs of body weight altogether. The result was so good that these men couldn't believe this could be done so easily and they all had to check with their doctors and underwent some whole body checkup just to make sure. And the result? They're found to be whole lot healthier than 4 weeks ago before they started the dieting program!

But if you want to try something different then give interval cardio training a go. By integrating slower levels of intensity for several minutes with very high levels you are helping to boost your metabolism. This also helps to create more a post-caloric burn, where you will find that calories are burned 24 hours after the workout was done.

As you can see these points will help with how to burn fat that is unwanted on your body and provide you with the desired results at the end.
