Rapid Fat Loss Tips

Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle is the #1 best selling diet and fitness ebook in the history of the Internet. In fact, it’s one of the best selling e-books on ANY subject in the history of the Internet -… And there’s a reason why…

It’s because thousands of women and men of every age are burning off BODY FAT - not muscle or water weight - and they’re doing it naturally, without supplements, pills or “magic potions,” simply by using the proven, scientifically-accurate and common-sense advice found inside this amazing diet and fitness guidebook.

Tom Venuto, a respected fat loss expert, natural bodybuilder, and personal trainer, has not just pumped out yet another “diet program” into an already over-saturated market. Tom’s Burn the Fat can be more accurately described as a “Fat Loss Bible.” It is quite simply one of the most complete, detailed, and precise guides to fat loss you will ever read. What makes it so much different than other weight loss publications on the market?

Well first of all, it’s not a “weight loss” program, it’s a “fat” loss program. This may seem like semantics or wordplay at first, but once you’ve read just the first three chapters, there will be no doubt in your mind that pursuing “weight loss” is not only the wrong goal, it may be the reason that you’ve failed to reach and maintain your ideal body weight. Burn The Fat shows you exactly why it’s fat you must lose, not “weight” (which includes muscle, water and other lean tissue) and then goes on to show you exactly how to do it.

Secondly, what makes Burn The Fat different is the amount of attention that is paid to each and every element of successful, healthy, permanent fat loss. Burn The Fat not only thoroughly dispels the lies, myths and fallacies surrounding a very confusing subject, it is simply the most detailed book about fat loss ever written. By reading Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, (or better yet, “studying it”), you will learn more about fat loss than you could from an entire semester of nutrition classes or from an entire shelf of maintstream diet publications at your local bookstore.

You may be wondering, “Is this a low carb diet? A high protein diet? A high fat diet? what type of program IS it???” The truth is that Burn the Fat is neither a high protein diet, or a low carb diet. That’s because with the information in this book, you will be able to easily determine your own ideal protein, carbs and fats ratio. You will be able to analyze your body type (are you an endomorph, ectomorph, or mesomorph?), you will determine your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate, or the amount of “maintenance” calories your body requires every day), and you will find out whether you are carb tolerant or carb intolerant.

This personalized approach makes perfect sense because each of us is a unique individual and no two people are exactly alike in terms of body physiology and personal goals.

One of the most powerful chapters in the book is the first one called, “How To Set Powerful, Compelling Goals That Will Propel You Forward and Charge You Up with Unstoppable Motivation.” In this chapter, you will learn what is probably the ultimate secret to burning fat and getting in shape… and it has nothing to do with diets, supplements or training programs. There’s also a great quote in this chapter from the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, Vince Lombardi…

“The dictionary is the only place success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must all pay for success.” That line does a nice job of expressing the “no quick fix” philosophy behind the entire book. In the rest of the book, you’ll learn the complete and exact mechanics of fat loss - explained on both a scientific and a practical level (which you can easily apply in your own daily life in terms of what to eat and how to exercise to burn fat).

If there is any drawback to the Burn The Fat ebook, it’s that it contains so much information, that some readers may find it a bit overwhelming. Those who are looking for a “cliff’s Note’s” quick start type of fat loss program, might be a bit intimated at first. The good part however, is that even these types of readers can feel confident and assured that it will be worth the effort because this will literally be the last book they ever have to buy on the subject.

Who will benefit most from Burn the Fat?

In the broadest sense, anyone and everyone who needs to lose weight will benefit from Burn The Fat. Men, women, bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and especially motivated individuals and avid readers will love this book. Although it was written by a bodybuilder, this book is certainly NOT just for bodybuilders.

You will find no “30 lbs. in 30 days” miracles at work here. It’s all about intelligent eating choices, planning, hard work and lifestyle change. As Burn The Fat author Tom Venuto says,…

“Burn the Fat is simple, but it’s not easy.”

In terms of graphic design, Burn the Fat is a clean and professionally formatted PDF e-book. It’s a little on the plain side, being just text, but that makes it ideal for printing and reading in the comfort of a favorite chair. Because of it’s size, it does require a robust printer and a good stack of paper.

Initially, some people thought that Burn the Fat was priced a little on the high side because $39 might seem like a fair chunk of money for an ebook download. However, after they saw the amount of information contained within Burn The Fat’s 340 pages, along with the special bonus ebooks and reports that come with it, they said it was not only worth the $39, but many times that amount.

As with any how-to publication, you’re not really paying for the materials used to compile the document, but for what the information can do for you, and clearly, this publication has changed many lives and the hundreds of testimonials and success stories found on the Burn The Fat website are proof of that (I recommend you take a look at that “testimonials” page on the Burn The Fat website because some of the before and after transformations are simply incredible - as well as inspiring).

The Bottom line?

Anyone looking for a quick fix solution to fat loss, anyone looking to be told fairy-tales, and anyone looking for a “magic bullet” offered by the likes of body wraps, fat burning pills, diet shakes, or “fat-burning” creams and gels might be best advised to steer clear of Burn the Fat.

On the other hand, anyone tired of “spinning their wheels” going nowhere, who wants the truth about fat loss and who is ready and willing to put in the hard work and discipline and make the lifestyle changes necessary to get a fat free body, will find Burn The fat to be one of the best investments they ever made in their lives.

Here are some hints to help you lose weight (and that extra fat around the middle) during the holidays.  Most weight is gained in the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  These tips will help keep you from gaining, and even help you lose during that time.

Eat more fiber.  Fiber helps your body feel fuller, helps flush your system, and makes glucose and fat burn faster.

Add some omega-3 to your diet.  Foods such as winter squash have omega-3s in them, or you can use a supplement daily.  Omega-3 activates cells that make serotonin, insulin & leptin which control your hunger.

Stress tends to make your hormones unbalanced, and keeps you from losing weight.  Stress causes cortisol to be produced to help you deal with it.  Sometimes your body doesn’t tell itself the stress is over, shut down the cortisol machine.  Or sometimes it just doesn’t get the message.  Cortisol makes you tired, depressed, stores fat in your belly, and increases your overeating.  Eating red meat will help tell your body to shut down the cortisol machine.  If you prefer not to eat red meat, zinc and Vitamin B supplements will also help your body break down the extra cortisol.

During the holidays, we tend to get extra toxins introduced to our bodies.  Stale air from being shut indoors, alcohol & sugar are all extras we get around holiday time.  Eat some berries, onions, red grapes, apples, purple grape juice, drink green or black tea.  And either eat or drink dark chocolate.  These all help flush out the extra toxins.

Flushing your system.  If you can do this for 3 days, you will be able to do a quick flush of your system, feel better, have smoother skin, and more energy for the holidays and possible even lose some weight.  Cut out alcohol, sugar, caffeine, fried and processed food.  Eat colorful fruit and vegetables, skinless poultry, lean meat, fish and whole grains for three days to get the full effect.

If you can do all these things, or even some of them, you will be better off.  Eat more fiber, add omega-3, add zinc and Vitamin B, eat berries, onions, red grapes, apples, purple grape juice, dark chocolate and drink green or black tea, and try to flush your system.  These will help you deal with the holidays much easier, feel better all around, even help you avoid colds and flu, bronchitis, asthma and migraines.  You will be able to avoid putting on extra weight during the holidays, and even possibly lose some.

By following these tips, you will be able to lose not only fat, but also lower your cholesterol, and lower your blood pressure.

Eat inside.  Make sure you eat at a table, and not in your car.  When you eat in your car, it makes you feel like you are sneaking.  And when you think you are being sneaky, why not eat more?  Eat inside at a table and you will eat less.

Make sure you choose wisely.  Don’t eat one of everything, don’t eat the fried stuff, don’t have more than one.  Be careful of things like the triple Whopper, large anything, 6-piece anything, and anything with caramel is sure to be a calorie hog.  You can get your whole days calories – plus – from any of these things by themselves.

Eating fast food will reduce your time in the kitchen, and give you more time for other things that are more enjoyable.  You won’t think about eating as often when you are doing something you enjoy.

Watch those condiments.  Condiments have a way of sneaking calories into you without you realizing it.  A couple packets of ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc, and you have added a lot more than you thought.

Just think, you can have french toast sticks, egg McMuffin, a donut, or cereal for breakfast.  Not all, but you can choose between them and have a variety throughout the week.

Lunch can be a baked potato and a salad, a sub sandwich with chips (baked, not fried), 2 soft tacos, or tuna, cheese and lettuce salad.

Dinner can be a Quarter Pounder with cheese, or chicken with veggies, or even reduced-calorie pizza.

You can have pretzels, fruit, lite yogurt, or a pudding cup for snacks.

Look at all the choices you have.  Eat and still lose weight.  What a deal!

Drink as much water as you want.  Maybe even more.  Most of us don’t get enough water in our diet.  We usually have a cup of coffee, or a soda and count that as the same as water.  It isn’t.  You need to drink a half gallon of water daily.  If you drink caffeine, you need to add even more water, because the caffeine just makes the water go right through you.

Just think.  Eat at fast food places, drink water, and you will spend less time in the kitchen, lose weight, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and feel better.

Water is one of the least recognized diet supplements.  If we drink and eat enough water, we can lose weight.  Yes, that’s not a misprint, I said eat water, this will be explained a little later.  We are supposed to get a minimum of eight – eight ounce glasses of water each and every day.  How many of us actually drink half a gallon of water daily?  Water does so much to make you healthier, and most of us don’t get near enough of it.

Water will help you to lose, especially around the stubborn stomach area.  Getting more water really helps get rid of the weight you carry around in your midsection.

Eat food with high water content.  Foods such as cucumber, berries, celery contain large amounts of water. Fruits also all have a high water content and help to shrink your waistline.

Fluids, like the ones you get in fruits, help to dilute your blood sugar, which means your body needs less insulin to function properly.  And that in turn means your body doesn’t need to store the excess fat in your belly area.  When your insulin is lower, your body doesn’t like to be heavy.  It wants to lose, and it wants to lose from your stomach area first.

Most fruits are mostly water, so you pretty much can’t go wrong choosing fruit to eat every day.  Apples, strawberries, oranges, blueberries, bananas, melons, etc are all good choices.

When you eat and drink lots of water, you feel much more full.  You don’t feel near as hungry.  Water can fill you up just as much as food can.  And it is better for you than most foods we like.  You can actually cut your calorie count by eating more water-rich foods each day.

By drinking more water and eating more high-water content foods, we will feel fuller, lose weight in that tricky abdominal area, lower blood sugar, and not feel as hungry. I hope this short article opens your eyes to how beneficial water can be to losing weight.

Long, long ago, before we learned to preserve our food, had electricity and central heat, our bodies had certain things they did in the winter.  The main one we are concerned with is that our bodies had to use our stored fat during the winter.  We are going to see what we can do to trick our body into thinking it is winter long enough to get rid of that extra weight.

Don’t eat fruits, grains, flour, sugar, or any artificial sweeteners.  Since fruits and grains don’t grow in the winter, our bodies think it is summer when we eat them.  And that means your body starts storing fat to live off of during the winter months.

Turn down all of the lights.  If you keep it dark longer each day, you will simulate the winter sun.  As in not so much of it.  Keeping it dark is another clue that tells your body to burn that fat because it is winter time.

Go to bed earlier each night.  We had to go to bed when it got dark because we didn’t have electricity like we do now.  Not only will you be telling your body to burn fat, you will be getting more sleep, which is something that most of us don’t get nearly enough of in the first place.

Eat more lean meats, cheese, nuts, and drink some wine.  Lean meat could be hunted for in the winter months. Cheese and nuts could be stored for later use much easier than fruits.

Eat before you workout.  Walking or other exercise after you have eaten helps burn more fat.  Remember your parents or grandparents taking a walk after dinner?  It really helps keep the weight off.

If you can do this for just a year, you will be doing your body a huge favor.  Most of us can’t go without the fruits and grains that long.  So if you find you are one of us, do it for two weeks, then add in two fruits a day, and a small amount of starchy food.  One half cup of beans or whole grains will work best.

Some supplements that will be useful while using these weight-loss tips are St John’s Wort, SAMe, chromium picolinate, Garcinia cambogia, selenium, and a probiotic.

As always ask your doctor before beginning any weight-loss or exercise plan, and don’t forget to drink plenty of water.

Walking is a wonderful way to take off that fat we all have built up over time.  But it does take time, and who wants to wait?  Here are some great ways to make walking burn fat faster.

Strengthen those muscles.  Doing weight bearing exercise in addition to walking burns through almost twice the fat just walking does.  Add some squats or lunges to put the extra pressure on the thighs, hips and butt, you don’t even have to use weights, just use your own body.  You can do this while you walk, or any time you have the chance.  Make sure you don’t do it more than every other day, this gives the muscles time to recover, and get ready to burn more fat.

While you walk, add some extra bursts.  If you put on some extra speed for a few seconds, you can burn fat even faster.  High intensity intervals during exercise burns more than twice the fat.  Just put on some speed for a few seconds (or longer) then walk normally until you get your breath back, then do it again.  This will really kick up your metabolism and help you burn fat, even when not walking.

Walking and losing weight can help in all sorts of way.  You will lower your risk of breast cancer, stroke, depression, colon cancer, diabetes, heart attack, it can even help with the symptoms of PMS and menopause.  Exercise boosts your body’s natural defenses.

Make sure you are eating enough.  You need at least 1200 calories a day to keep your body working properly.  Having too much will make you gain weight, but having too little will do the same.  No, I’m not kidding, eating too little will make you gain weight.  Your body expects a certain number of calories each day to maintain itself.  If it gets too much, it stores it because it doesn’t know what else to do with it.  If it gets too little, it stores it because it thinks it needs to save it for emergencies.  Your body doesn’t understand that we can just run to the store and get food.  It thinks we are going into a famine, and won’t be able to get food for a while, so it stores the fat away until we need it.

Drinking plenty of water is a great fat loss tip, too.  I know, it seems if you drink more water, you will weight more, and retain more water.  Believe it or not, drinking more water keeps you from retaining water.  Just like the food, if your body doesn’t think it is going to get enough, it will horde it for emergencies.  Water also flushes the impurities out of your system so your body doesn’t decide to store them since it doesn’t know what else to do with them.

Build up those muscles, add some intensity, eat plenty of food, and drink plenty of water and you will be well on your way to losing all the extra fat on your body.

Don’t you just hate men who can lose weight quickly and easily? Why is it that women usually have such a tough time with achieving maximum fat loss and keeping the weight off? Have you ever wondered why a man and a woman can follow the exact same diet and not get even close to the same fat loss results?

Well, scientists have found that approximately 95% of all women suffer from estrogen dominance. Excessive estrogen in the woman’s body causes disruption and imbalance of the three weight control systems. The three weight control systems that must be balanced in order for a woman to lose weight are hormonal, neurochemical and glandular.

If these three systems are not balanced you will have extreme difficulty achieving maximum fat loss. Once your weight control systems are balanced, you will find it much easier to lose weight and keep the lost fat off.

To help balance your hormones you should consume eight servings of foods rich in phytonutrients each day. Phytonutrient rich food includes carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, turnip greens, leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, pink grapefruit, oranges, peaches, strawberries and blueberries.

To help balance your neurochemicals add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. You should consume around 1g of omega-3s each day. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include nuts, salmon and tuna. If you have trouble getting enough omega-3 fatty acids from food you can take a omega-3 supplement like fish oil.

Your adrenal and thyroid glands need to be in good shape and well balanced to help you achieve maximum fat loss. Sea salt works well with helping balance your glandular system. Add 1/4 tsp of sea salts a day to your food. Consuming dark leafy greens and bananas also help with the balancing of your glandular system.

To balance your diet you should also consume four servings of breads, cereals and grains. These fiber rich foods also help flush xenoestrogens. Also consume four servings of protein each day. Good sources of protein include poultry and fish.

Now let’s not forget the water! You need to drink at least 32 oz. of water every day. Water helps flush out fat trapping xenoestrogens and helps to repair worn thyroid and adrenal tissue.

As with all dietary recommendations and changes, please consult your doctor and make sure any changes or recommendations you plan on using are safe and right for you.

Belly fat loss can be very hard to do using conventional dieting and is usually one of the last areas you lose weight. I know I can’t stand it when I gain weight around my midsection.

Luckily there are several things you can do to speed up belly fat loss. Here are several tips that will help you to reduce the size of your belly quick.

Think Fiber – Consume 25 grams of dietary fiber daily. Fiber binds to fat in the intestines so it is excreted instead of being absorbed. One gram of fiber will block the absorption of about seven calories. One great source of fiber is beans. Just be careful, some beans are high in fiber but also high in calories. Check the labels.

Probiotics – Increasing the good bacteria in your digestive tract helps to eliminate bloat and speed up the breakdown of nutrients. Yogurt is a good source of probiotics.

Coconut Oil – Did you know that coconut oil can increase your metabolism by up to 60%. It also helps to annihilate harmful bacteria and yeast in your digestive tract.

DHEA – The stress hormone cortisol causes us to pack on pounds of belly fat. The supplement DHEA helps to control the hormone cortisol and can help cut belly fat by 10%. You can get DHEA supplements at most grocery and drugstores.

Green Tea – Start sipping on green tea every day. It is loaded with antioxidants and increases your body’s fat burning capabilities, especially that stubborn abdominal fat. Need to sweeten it? Try adding lemon, lime or orange to it. Another alternative is to add the sweetener Splenda to your green tea.

Dairy Foods – Research has shown that eating three or four servings a day of dairy foods help reduce your midsection. Eating and drinking calcium dense foods like yogurt, cheese and milk will help fight the belly fat bulge.

Selenium – This cancer fighting mineral also helps to lower belly fat. If you are not getting the recommend 55 mcg a day of selenium from food then add it to your diet by taking a good quality selenium supplement.

Orange Fruits And Vegetables – You can help trim your waist by replacing refined carbs like white bread and sugars with orange fruits and vegetables. Orange fruits and vegetables contain many antioxidants like vitamin C and beta-carotene. Both vitamin C and beta-carotene help ward off stomach fat.

As with all dietary recommendations and changes, please consult your doctor and make sure any changes or recommendations you plan on using are safe and right for you.

Rapid fat loss can be achieved by stealing some get slim secrets from bodybuilders. They use what is known as carbohydrate cycling for fat loss to drop large amounts of body fat before competitions. Carbohydrate cycling is much more about what you eat and has very little to do with how much you actually exercise.

Carb cycling involves alternating between high and low carbohydrate foods each day. One day you will eat high only carbs and the next day you will eat only low carbs. You repeat this cycle until you have reached your desired fat percentage goal.

Carb cycling forces your body to burn stored fat on low carb days. The high carb days keep the bodies starvation response from triggering. This keeps your metabolism up and keeps you losing fat steadily.

Since carb cycling helps you reduce your consumption of sugars and starches, your blood sugar hormones that increase appetite are also reduced as a side benefit.

On the average you should shoot for 60 grams or a little less of carbs on the low carbohydrate days and about 140 grams or a little more of carbs on the high carbohydrate days.

As always, don’t forget the water! You need to drink at least 32 oz. of water every day. Water helps flush out fat and also keeps you well hydrated. Keeping well hydrated is very important while carb cycling.

Carbohydrate cycling is also great for busting those dreadful weight-loss plateaus to continue your fat loss. So the next time you hit a plateau, try carb cycling to help you get over it and achieve rapid fat loss.

As with all dietary recommendations and changes, please consult your doctor and make sure any changes or recommendations you plan on using are safe and right for you.
