Many people want to know what the fat loss diet secrets are so that they may be able to get that trim and fit body that they have always dreamed about. The fact is there are no diet loss secrets to share, there are only facts.
The fact is that we are consuming way more that our bodies need or can handle, add to that the fact that it is often the wrong kinds of food and we have a real problem.
The second fact is that these wrong kinds of food are packed full of calories, refined sugar, saturated fat, all processed in to a food item that our taste buds love and we end up craving, but which is not at all good for our bodies.
The next fact is that even though we are over consuming we are not exercising anywhere near enough. We come from a long line of hunter gatherers who spent the day, and used calories, just to stay alive. Our bodies stored this excess food as fat because of the uncertainty of when the next meal would be.
Today many of us in the developed world are office bound, and sitting of a chair for hours, which doesn’t take much energy, or use many calories, and then we ride to and from work and spend the day eating the wrong kind of food.
So the first thing we need to concentrate on for our fat loss diet is to reduce the quantity of food we eat, we just don’t need it. Cravings cause us to overeat so we need to find other activities to replace these.
We then need to eat more of the right kinds of food, replacing those fatty foods with fresh fruit and vegetables along with modest portions of low fat protein sources such as lean meat.
The next thing we need to do is increase our exercise. If throughout the day we can find some opportunities to do a small amount of exercise we will increase our body’s metabolism. Increasing muscle mass will use more calories. Fat is just storage , but muscles use calories during exercise and to maintain themselves afterward. We look better as our muscles grow and provide increased support to our skeleton, which also helps to prevent injury.
To really make progress with our fat loss diet we need to engage the large muscle groups as much as possible. These burn the calories at a much higher rate than the small muscle groups which are also harder to target.
The leg muscles are the single biggest muscles and the best ones to engage in a workout. Exercises that use multiple muscles will also burn more calories in the same time than concentrating on single muscle groups. Effectiveness increases if we use the large muscle groups and we will get quicker results.
Exercises such as squats and overhead presses with free weights engage nearly all the major muscle groups including the legs, back muscles, and the arms.
The final step in losing that weight is to increase the intensity level of any exercise done. This should only be done over time as our bodies adapt and can handle the increased stress. A very good type of exercise to use is interval training because different intensity levels are used which gives some recovery time.
Using this type of program will burn more calories than a program involving long slow endurance type training and is therefore more suited to weight loss. It will also burn those calories for a significant time after you have stopped exercising as the body recovers. Even 20 minutes a day commitment to this type of program for 3-4 days per week will give some real gains.
