The Right Way To Burn Off Fat And Keep Muscle

By James Steele


You may have been having trouble trying to burn fat but not muscle, we understand this. Lots of other people have the same annoyance with it. It does not have to be annoying achieving this kind of goal. Having the right information plus dedication and commitment will see it through. If you do not enjoy your exercise program, then you probably find it hard to stick to it. When you are exercising and think it is fun, or enjoyable, then you will find that you do not mind doing it. In fact, once you see positive results you will look forward to exercising.

One of the best proven approaches of exercises, which is interval training, should be considered by those who are serious about getting rid of their fat. There are quite a few ways of doing this with a number of exercises. A jumping rope, treadmill or a bike (either stationary or real) could be used for example. When it comes to cardio, the approach of long distance running will work very well for fat loss. However, if you want to do it in the most effective manner, then the long distance approach is not what you want to do. We are distinguishing what is the 'most effective' way to lose fat. Most of us know about the consequences of no fat diets and other such similar diets. There are indeed people out there that think they must purge their diet of all fats. Fat loss will most likely not occur when doing this. As soon as the body knows there won't be any more fat coming in it will conserve fat. So part of the trick here is to make the body, or brain, think that there is no need at all for fat. It's kind of like the opposite of the effects of the starvation mechanism. When your body sees that the fat isn't needed it won't cling onto it. Instead fat will be burned off and the muscle won't be touched.

Here's a piece of wisdom that's rather old and has been around for a very long time. But rather surprisingly not a lot of people know too much about this, and it will most certainly alter the way you eat. Always chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. There's a 20 minute time lag from when your stomach is full and when your brain gets the signal that it is.

If you know about diets and food then you will understand that it's a good idea to not eat too many complex carbs. But if not then knowing they will be converted into fat if there is a surplus is important to know. You only need to avoid eating too many of them in one meal, eating them regularly is fine because they are required. So when you are shooting for fat loss, then minimize the starchy foods and eat proteins along with some fat content. You'll get some excellent results by doing this in conjunction with regular exercise.

Exploring the various methods and tricks when you're wanting to lose fat but not muscle is the best thing to do. Overall, the process is very flexible because there are lots of different methods out there that work very well.
