When it comes to how to lose fat quickly there are a lot of theories
out there, but many of them are not accurate. For instance, a lot of
people think that cardio is the best way to lose fat and that by going
on a starvation, low fat or low carb diet they are going to drop the
fat and get the body they want. Actually, though, these things aren't
the best way to get rid of excess fat. Here are some tips on how to
lose fat.
One of the first things that you need to understand is that there is a
big difference between losing weight and losing fat. When you lose
weight you can also be losing lean muscle and water weight along with
fat. That's just not going to get you the body you want. Not only
that, but typically when you have lost just muscle and water it is
much more difficult to keep the weight off once you go back to a
normal lifestyle. That's why it is so important to focus your efforts
on specifically losing fat instead of just losing weight.
One of the biggest myths about how to lose fat is that cardio is the
best exercise for fat loss. While cardio is important, strength
training is actually more important in regards to losing fat. See,
lean muscle requires a lot more energy for your body to maintain than
fat does, and your body provides that energy to your muscles by
burning calories. That means that the more lean muscle you have on
your body the more calories you are going to burn all the time - not
just when you are exercising. By adding lean muscle mass to your body
you will boost your metabolism and turn your body into a calorie
burning machine.
A lot of women worry that adding muscle to their bodies is going to
make them bulk up or get larger. Actually, though, this isn't the
case. Instead, by building lean muscle you will get a sleek, toned
look like you see the models and celebrities have.
To start building muscle and losing fat you should add strength
training to your workout routine several times a week. To get the most
bang for your buck try focusing your strength training efforts on the
largest muscle groups in your body like your legs and your backside.
Squats and lunges are great for this.
Along with adding strength training to your routine you should also
follow a diet specifically geared toward fat loss rather than weight
loss. Starvation diets, low fat diets and low carb diets don't work to
help you lose fat. In fact, often times these diets can make it harder
for you to lose weight because they don't provide your body with
enough calories and your metabolism slows down to
compensate.
