Want To Know The Best Way To Lose Fat?

By Thong M. Dao

Over the years I've been asked several times what the best way to lose fat is, and whether or not it's an easy process. My usual response is that the best way to lose fat is to reduce calorie intake and increase calories burnt. Most people end up being annoyed because this is basically common sense. Unfortunately most individuals don't put it into action.

We are all bombarded with constant advertisements about diet fads and promises of slimming down. Heck, we've even been subjected to companies telling us we can lose weight while eating anything. While this would be nice, the truth is most of these have simply undermined the confidence of us all in legitimate weight loss programs. So here is some practical advice that will change it all.

Making sure you have a diet that is full of things like fruits and vegetables is a good start. The first step is getting rid of fast food and anything else packed with calories, sugars, and the unwanted fat. These types of foods have empty calories and can cause your body to pack on the unwanted pounds.

Drinking tons of calories doesn't help either. So the next time you pick up that 12oz. can of Coke, remember you're taking in useless calories. What's bad about them is they don't make you feel full, which means you eat more, and in turn ingest more calories. So stick with the aqua and all the healthier choices out there.

Once you have gotten a good diet down it will be time to focus on what is important to your health. The first thing in order to burn the fat you are looking for is to make sure that you do some cardio exercise. This will burn off unnecessary fat by raising your heart rate.

If by chance you hate cardio exercises, it's okay. There are plenty of variations out there that differ from the normal mindset. Don't be afraid to shop around and find the right one for you. Choose the one that is the most appealing. The more excited you are to do it, the easier this particular workout will be.

Each one of these can be the best way to lose fat, but you can't forget about weight lifting. Even if you lift light weights you will boost your metabolism. This allows you to drop weight in a shorter period of time. Oh, and if you're worried about packing on too much muscle, just adjust the amount of weight you lift. You will be able to burn calories and still stay fit.

And, finally, I have to say consistency is among the most important components to losing weight. You need to make diet and exercise a consistent part of your lifestyle, this will ensure you keep your weight down without any yo-yo effect. Yes, believe it or not, the best way to lose fat is to make healthy living your new lifestyle.
