Weight loss nowadays is not only a tedious process but there is no surety of that loss staying up on a permanent basis. In such a situation most of us look for tips to burn fat faster and that too without much stress on one’s self. If you are careful enough then just by boosting your metabolism rate you can get those calories burning really quick.

Find some of the useful tips below:

  • Frequent movement– Working out as much as you can is the ideal way to raise your metabolism levels. This would then translate into your losing weight fast and steadily. It is said that a natural metabolism slowdown starts happening in the thirties and if you are not careful the extra pounds would start showing up soon. Five days a week workout can halt this slowdown hence hastening the weight loss.
  • Do cardio exercises– A visit to the gym would make you realize the importance of cardio exercises. However, the key is to pick up the kind of workout that is going to suit your body type the most. In an ideal situation look to do a variety of them like climbing stairs, jumping rope and squat thrusts for a total of 10 minutes. Take a break of one or two minutes to allow your body to cool and then start again.
  • Avoid meal skipping– Even if you are extremely busy make sure to take out some time to eat your meals on time. Not doing that would bring your body into starvation mode and it would start looking for ways to conserve the energy. This leads to a sudden downfall in the metabolism and hence a blockade in your aim of burning fat faster.
  • Eat smart foods– Make it your aim to consume at least one protein dish in a day. Not only is protein important to build up the muscle in your body, digesting it also requires more calories. High fibre foods like fruits, whole grain items, and vegetables slowly release the sugar present to act as a regular energy source. Experts say that munching them three hours before your workout would also lead to quick fat loss

  • Regular sleep– Our work schedules are such that we tend to miss the most important thing that is our sleep. Lack of sleep brings the cortisol hormone in action which induces a desire to eat more. Once the craving starts it is obvious that it would be difficult for you to keep your weight under control.

For effective weight loss, it is important that you maintain your metabolism rate. This, in turn, would help you in increasing the pace of calorie burning and assist in the weight loss process. However, make sure to check if any of your medications are not causing your metabolism rate to slow done. Some medicines do have that effect and it is wise that you reduce their usage as that can be a major deterrent to your weight loss. So work hard, play enough and follow the above tips in order to maintain your ideal weight all along.

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.

At times despite our hard efforts to lose weight the pounds just doesn’t seem to go away. This may leave you wondering whether your exercise schedule is wrong or probably the diet pattern is not correct. It is quite possible that some of your habits are not letting you lose the extra baggage on your body. We will tell you some habits that you need to break in order to lose weight fast.

  • Drink diet soda– Many people are of the opinion that by drinking diet soda they are actually consuming fewer calories. However, the truth is truly shocking. These fizzy drinks have artificial sweeteners in them which make the body believe that they are taking in fewer calories. The body then reacts by reducing its metabolism and making you gain extra weight.
  • Skip the breakfast– You may think that skipping breakfast will help you in reducing calories but you are in for a surprise. The people who eat breakfast full of protein and fibre tend to weigh lesser than those who miss it. That is because eating breakfast keeps you full and gives you the energy to burn the calories through exercise. Starving your body only makes you eat more at lunch time which is not a good idea.
  • Over eating healthy stuff– If you are on a diet, you may think that eating healthy foods would be good to induce your fat loss. However, break the habit of over consuming the veggies, fruits and juices especially and you will still not be able to burn those calories enough. In order to avoid over eating just notice whether you are actually hungry or thirsty. If your body is giving the sign of hunger then consume something but only in limited portions.

  • Going for shopping hungry– Taking a visit to the grocery store without a proper meal may tempt you into buying something which is otherwise not good for your weight loss. Pop something healthy even if it means delaying your trip by some few minutes. By doing so, when you notice an alluring food you won’t be convinced into consuming it.
  • Not eating healthy fats– Not all the fats are unhealthy so it is not wise to skip eating them completely. In fact consuming nuts can actually keep you full and give the body energy to work out and lose fat fast. Apart from that, eating healthy fat also keeps your blood sugar regulated and the cravings for food minimized.
  • Starving yourself– We often think that if we eat less food then we get fewer calories inside us. But if you starve yourself the body reacts to it by reducing the metabolism rate. This can make you lethargic and prone to laziness which indirectly would lead you to gain unnecessary weight. You can also face serious health hazards like fatigue, nausea, difficulty in thinking etc.

While it’s good that you want to keep your weight in check, it is also important that you do so the healthy way. Breaking from the shackles of the above mentioned habits would ensure that your weight loss is regularized and does not harm your body in any way.
