5 Things you can do NOW to start losing body fat

Imagine this situation:

You are wrestling with the same 10-30 pounds for years. You've tried
everything out there, from no fat to high fat diets, low carbs, high
carbs, you name it but only managed to lose a few pounds here and
there.

Every time you look in the mirror you don't like what you see - you
know it's time to get serious about losing body fat but are not
prepared to make a major dieting effort.

If that's the case with you, then I have some good news – you don't
have to make an major dieting effort in order to lose fat.

In fact, the trend in the fitness world has shifted from complex fitness
solutions that turn your lifestyle upside down (and for that reason are
hard to follow) to focusing on thing you can incorporate into your life
style with ease and act on NOW!.

Below is a list of things you could do to start losing body fat now:

 

1. Don't touch that first piece.

Everybody knows that you can eat any kind of food and still don't get
fat as long as you eat in MODERATION. But let's face it – some types
of food you can't just eat in moderation. One cookie or a hand full of
chips will do for you? If not; if you can't stop there it is better to avoid
those types of food altogether.

 

2. Spread your calories over the entire day.

Most people have the following eating pattern: one or two light meals
during the day and a HEAVY dinner. Geese's! At night you are the least
active (with the exception of night jobs) so you burn the least amount
of calories. The extra calories from the large dinner are stored as body
fat.

So, make breakfast your largest meal and dinner the smallest.
Chances are that you will be burning the calories eaten during the day
so minimal amounts of them will be stored as fat.

3. Fill up on fiber.

Because fibrous carbs have low calorie density and at the same time
"fill you up" so you don't feel hungry they help you lose fat, so they
should constitute the bulk of your carb intake.

Fibrous carbs are: Asparagus, Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery,
Cucumber, Green Beans, Green peppers, Mushrooms, Onion, Peas,
Salad (lettuce, romaine), Spinach, and Tomato.

4. Drink water.

Without enough water the body can't "burn" body fat as efficiently as
normally.

When dehydrated, the body tries to hold on to as much water as
possible. When this happens, the body's waste products can't be
eliminated and the kidneys become overwhelmed. At this point the
liver starts to help remove these waste products, neglecting its own
job which includes using stored body fat for energy.

5. Get Moving.
This is the most simple and most effective fat burning secret. Exercise,
besides the fat that burns calories, increases the metabolism and
develops lean muscle mass, also boosts your self-esteem, increasing
the probability that you will do more things in this direction (losing the
fat).

For the best results, combine aerobic (walking, riding a bike, treadmill
etc) with strength training.
