5 Simple Steps to Make Fat Loss Faster and Easier:
Substitute all that past thinking with five simple metabolism-boosting tricks that will help you melt belly fat faster.
diet makes 90% of your weight loss plan while workout make 10% only. But if you dont see any results then it's time to turn up the heat in your body to rev up your metabolism, jump-starting your weight loss and busting through that plateau.
Metabolism is the process in which your body converts what you eat and drink into energy. That energy is either burned off or stored as fat. The number of calories your body uses to complete these functions is known as your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate can be affected or slowed by the following factors that make losing weight almost impossible:
· Stored excess fat around your belly, hips and thighs Approaching, currently in or post-menopause Lacking muscle tone Sleep deprived Eating too much of the wrong kinds of foods and not enough of the right kind of foods You exercise too much or too little or, even worse, do the wrong kind of exercise
You are genetically predisposed to a slow metabolism and gain weight quickly
In addition, you probably already know that being female and over 40 (this can affect men too) means your metabolism is slowing down every year. It takes a significant step backwards every five years due to muscle loss and hormones. Our thyroids begin to tire and slow down as well. When combined with life issues, chronic exhaustion and stress, it creates the perfect storm for weight gain.
These five metabolism-boosting strategies will work every time, no matter how old you are or how sluggish your metabolism is.
Step 1: Eat all your meals within a 10- to 12-hour window every day.
This step is good for fat burning and detoxifying your body at each night. It is good for both weight loss and anti-aging process. You should eat between the hours of 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. for best results.
Step 2: Exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Your body naturally burns fat fast in the morning. Metabolic exercise is more effective when free weights are used because they work the entire body and contain 10 to 12 multijoint exercises.
For maximum fat-loss results, complete two to three sets of each exercise in the metabolic circuit in superset fashion, with little or no rest in between sets. Allow at least one day in between sets, and perform three workouts a week. Lift as heavy as you can while still maintaining proper form. You don't need to work to fatigue. In fact, it's suggested that you don't, so that you don't affect the fat-burning process.
Step 3: Kick-start your metabolism with a whey protein shake after your workout.
This will recalibrate your appetite and switch your cravings to "off." Thermogenic eating also creates heat in your metabolism, which is exactly what you want.
The simplest way to do this is to replace your current breakfast with a metabolism-boosting smoothie 12 hours after your last meal. This blocks cortisol from rising, making it easier to lose belly fat.
It's important that you look for a whey that is high quality, micro-filtered and contains very few carbs, sugars and less than five grams of fat. Ideally, this complete protein shake will contain 155 calories, 24 grams of whey protein, less than 15 grams of carbohydrates and be almost void of sugar and fat. This nutritional profile is best because it starves the fat so it gets burned off, but feeds the muscle so it gets replenished and nourished.
Step 4: Eat thermogenically to rev your metabolic engines.
You need to add thermogenic food to your diet as they speed up metabolism. Trade in your chicken breast for white fish, and replace the starch on your plate with a leafy green vegetable. Watch the pounds drop quickly.
Lighter and white fish are better for metabolism jut do portion control as healthy food could lead to weight gain too!!
Step 5: Eat more fiber.
Eating fiber can help keep you feeling full without filling you out and help relieve constipation and bloating. Moreover, consumption of high fiber food lower the risk of many chronic diseases.
