We all are living in a world which gives a lot of importance to how we look and portray ourselves. However, at times, the excess weight we have leads to us not being able to do so. If you pick up a diet book it will tell you multiple ways to lose weight and even keep the kilos away. But how many of these methods are actually effective is a question we need to ask. Here we bring some quick tips to burn fat and let the kilos melt away.

  • Let your fat burn the fat– Confused are you? Yes, our body is composed of two kinds of fats that are white and brown. While the white one is the one that you do not wish to accumulate the brown one, in fact, can actually help you get rid of it. Activation of your brown fat can lead to at least 20% of the calories getting burned up. Exercising for half an hour daily is going to bring your brown fat into action and increase the rate of weight loss.
  • Maintain the focus– Once you have decided that you need to lose fat make sure that you do not lose the focus. Even if it is your friends sharing some of your lovely desserts try not to give in to the temptation. If it requires being a little harsh on the refusal do it. Trying to please people may dilute your resolve to be able to keep the weight loss maintained.
  • Chewing slowly– Now this is one tip which probably no one has mentioned to you. Eating slowly and chewing your bites properly would ensure that you only eat as much as your stomach wants to. Faster eating increases the quantity of food you are going to eat which can be a roadblock to your weight loss plan.
  • Get moving– Even if you have a desk job try getting up as often as you can. Just the act of lying or sitting down might make your fat creation process increase. In the break time, take a walk around your office. If you want to have a discussion opt for a walk to the co -worker’s seat rather than talking on the phone. At home, if you are watching TV do make a point to get up during the commercial breaks to just stretch your muscles. If possible do jumping jacks or simple exercises in between so that all that fat you have accumulated is easily disposed off.

  • Be outdoors– Instead of spending your time at home lazing around try going for a walk outside and get in touch with nature. People are much happier walking outside than doing the same on a treadmill. Not only that, being outside would also reduce your cravings to a large extent hence assisting in the fat loss program.

We all are in a hurry these days. This coupled with the stressful work conditions leads to us piling up some extra kilos which then become very difficult to lose. Following the above simple tips would lead to the path of quick and reliable weight loss. So get into gear and say bye to your lethargic lifestyle. It won’t be much time before you start getting compliments on your looks and appearance.

Getting rid of the excess weight that you have accumulated is somehow a herculean task for most of us. To make matters worse there are multiple programs which claim to help us lose weight fast. Are all these claims genuine? No, we tell you as there is an ideal manner in which your weight loss should proceed. Let us know more about what that ideal level of fat loss is.

According to Centers for Disease Control and prevention  , a per week loss of 1-2 pounds is the optimum level. So on an average, if you wish to lose 10 pounds it should take you anything between 5-6 weeks. Any program which claims to make that fat loss faster should not be trusted even if it is being advertised by a celebrity.

Now the next question that you would ask is that what is the harm in losing weight quickly? We will tell you. Any weight loss that is hastened also leads to muscle loss along with the fat. Bone mass is something that you should preserve if you do not want to end up with weaker bones at old age. Apart from that losing muscle leads to your body getting weaker and even everyday tasks are difficult to accomplish. This along with the fact that higher muscle means a high body metabolism which is mandatory to lose weight the healthy way.

Along with that, this loss of muscle through starvation can reduce your metabolism so much that the moment you come to a normal diet you would again pile up the weight. This is a situation that you would want to stay away from.

So the healthiest way to burn fat is to eat almost 1500 calories per day if you are a female and 2000 calories if you are a male. This ensures that your body receives appropriate nutrition and even burns the calories the way it should ideally. This is how you would be able to lose weight without putting your body into much trouble.

At times even after following a practical diet plan we keep on losing muscles regularly. To avoid that make sure to do enough cardio vascular exercises and strength training. This helps in burning the extra calories faster while toning the muscles and building them up. So cutting up your diet or resorting to crash diets can only be beneficial in the small term. If you look at it in the long term perspective you would realize that you are losing much more than what you are gaining by doing that.

Weight loss is frequently an issue of concern for most people. However fat loss should always happen in a regularized and streamlined manner. Not doing so causes more trouble for your body then you can even think of. Maintain the ideal rate of losing weight if you want that loss to stay with you for long. If not anything adopting a crash diet also affects the sanity of your mind. Hope this would be an incentive for you to stay away from them and lose weight sensibly.

·       Weight Loss is a Linear Process

Some people think that weight loss is a linear process. Actually, it isn’t so. According to experts, dieting is not losing each day, sometimes people may lose and at times you may also gain weight in spite of being on diet. This may concern you a bit, but this is not something you should concern about. It is completely normal. The weight of the body does fluctuate. This simply happens because at times we hold on more water in our body than usual or we carry more food in our digestive system. The fluctuation doesn’t really matter, you need to focus on the long-term goal, generally the trend is going downwards, helping you in weight loss.

Advice: You just need to focus on your ultimate goal without worrying about the fluctuations.

Along with these myths, there are several other myths that are unproven and false completely. These were just a few. Before believing any of the myths about weight loss, one should first try to research about it properly. Weight loss is a slow process, which may take time but the results are remarkable.
