Rapid Fat Loss
By Heather Picken
Can you really lose fat fast?
Yes, you can but it will take some serious dedication with hard training and a solid fat loss nutrition program. What you don’t want to do is go on a liquid fast…yes you will lose weight quickly but most of it will be muscle and not fat! Keeping your muscle at all costs is the key to maintaining a fast metabolism.
Here are some keys to rapid fat loss:
1- Eliminate process carbohydrates. Think white flour and products like white bread and crackers. There is no room in your fat loss program for these.
2- Reduce the amount of starchy carbohydrates. An example would be potatoes and brown rice. You don’t have to eliminate them completely, just cut back.
3-Increase your protein intake. Eating lean proteins like chicken and fish help your metabolism to burn more fat, while preserving lean muscle.
4-Increase you water intake. This helps with fat loss and keeps things moving. Not getting enough water can actually make you retain water.
5- Increase your cardio. Depending on how much you are doing now you can either increase the duration or the frequency. For example, if you are doing 30 minutes go up to 45-60 minutes per session. If you are doing cardio three times a week, increase it to five to seven sessions per week. Increasing cardio exercises jump starts rapid fat loss because you will burn more calories, burning more calories means less fat. Make sure you do your cardio with intensity!
6-Taking EFA’s (essential fatty acids) like fish oil or flaxseed oil is crucial for rapid fat loss.
