Fat loss is a tricky thing. Despite all the science, what works for one person doesn’t work for the next. At least it seems that way. If you are wanting to speed up your fat loss and somehow hit a block in your path, hopefully these five suggestions will help you continue towards your goal.
Change things up.
The program, method or routine you used to start your fat loss more than likely will not be the same program you need to finish your fat loss. Along the way your body changes, adjusts and in some cases outright resists the changes you send it through. Take note of your process and progress and if over an extended period if you do not get the results you want, then that means it is time to change your program. This could be food, exercise or a combination of the two or even other factors such as stress. This is why it is important to keep track of what you are doing, not to merely be meticulous but to be able to monitor accurately.
Drink more water.
Unless you are drinking a gallon a day or some other figure (such as half you weight in ounces) often touted in the media or by experts on the subject, you probably could use a little more water in your system. Water has many effects not often touted besides hydration, such as aiding in detoxification and promoting a faster metabolism. This is because even if dehydrated a little bit, the body slows your metabolism down.
Drink green tea.
Sure, it is a fad. Sure, there is something newer and suggested to get you better results. However, green tea is natural, safe and proven. Time and time again green tea has been tested and numerous studies have found that green tea actually increases the fat burning activity in your body. In fact, green tea to be more specific, green tea actually increases the resting metabolic rate. This is thanks to the EGCG found within green tea.
Cut the Carbs.
Rice, potatoes, bread and pasta. Yes, we love them no they don’t help shed fat. Especially if you eat them after 6PM when the body for some strange reason suggests those carbs get sent for fat storage. Besides being starchy, most of those foods are refined and refined foods typically have sugar and other goody ingredients that keep fat exactly where you don’t want it.
Eat more vegetables.
Face it, vegetable win just about everytime. The more vegetables you take in, the less fat. Serving sizes are larger which mean you can actually get fuller but not have all the additional calories and fat that comes with it from eating leafy greens and other vegetables. Vegetables are nutrient dense and have fewer calories than just about every other option out there present as food, foodstuff or as a snack. If you boost your vegetable intake up to five servings a day you’ll be doing yourself a huge favor in the long term and you will definitely find yourself shedding fat as well.
I hope that these simple tips can help you reach your fat loss goals. It may seem like a lonely road but there are others out there who faced similar challenges and made it through. Take your time, remain committed and eventually you will achieve your objective.
