My 2 Step Theory to Lose Weight Fast

If you are looking for ways to burn fat fast, you will enjoy reading this article. These methods are pretty popular and will help you lose weight much faster while allowing you to have a life that you wouldn’t want to waste in the gym.

1. Eating for Weight Loss.

It's quite easy. You are what you eat. If you want to lose weight real fast, you need to reduce your calorie intake. Of course if you check your calorie input at present, you might be eating much less than what is required. This is bad too because you will be losing muscle. Muscle is key to fat loss. You can look for reviews on weight loss programs for more step by step system to follow.

To eat properly for fat loss, you will have to calculate how many calories you need for maintenance and then reduce that by 500 calories to get your fat loss level. Eat that level of calories will help you lose weight effectively without losing muscle.

You will also need to eat 4 to 5 meals a day to keep your metabolism elevated. If you skip a meal for longer than 3 hours, your body falls into starvation mode. This is bad since your body starts storing more fat instead of burning them.

2. Exercise to Lose Weight.

This is very obvious. Even if you follow the first step, you will want to exercise if you really want that FIT look. Simply eating to lose weight at home will only get you that slouchy look that makes people ask if you’ve been in Ethiopia for too long.

Follow simple bodyweight exercise routines thrice a week for 20 to 30 minutes a day for more effective results and faster weight loss. Also perform 20 minutes of high intensity interval training after body weight circuits for elevated metabolism. You can do this by sprinting for 45 seconds, rest for 60 seconds, repeating that 6 to 7 times, following by a cool down jog of 5 minutes.

Combine workout with diet and you've got a fat burning furnace running through your veins. Do not skip either of the methods. You will only be cheating yourself if so.
