Before I get started on some very cool fat loss tips... It's important to cover why it is that fat loss and reducing body fat related information and products are so much in demand, yet obesity and being overweight are on the up and up - and are actually at the highest rate ever? With the health and fitness industry booming it seems absurd that this is occurring. What the heck is happening, folks?
Quick Note: Fat Loss is not the same as Weight Loss. Please don't get the two confused. Weight loss is "overall" loss of body weight where Fat Loss is based on reducing body fat.
We are tempted every day with fatty and sugary foods with super deals of quick easy meals involving drive through access and home delivery. These fast food menus are "fast" and often seem "affordable" with meal deals for a family that have you convinced that it's probably cheaper than going to the shop and purchasing fresh food. Before you know it, it's the end of the day, the family is hungry, dinner time is upon you and your beat. It's easy to see why people get caught up in the hype and convenience of it all when our lifestyles are so hectic.
Tip 1. The "Alcohol Social and Relaxation" Temptation
An odd heading for this paragraph, I know, but I needed to draw your attention to the fact that alcohol will not help your fat loss efforts. I know we hear the advice that "doctors say that it's healthy to have one or two glass of wine per day", however this is in regards to the properties of red wine assisting in the prevention of clogged arteries - not a fat loss miracle! If red wine is necessary for medicinal purposes and prescribed by a doctor then obviously your health comes first. However the topic here is fat loss...
If you want to make a genuine effort to lose body fat those couple of alcoholic drinks per day could easily effect your fat loss attempts. So unless yours is the case above (medically prescribed) then I would seriously think about "cutting back". Just going without those few EXTRA drinks after work or consuming less alcohol at social gatherings can make a considerable difference to how much body fat you lose.
Your body will attempt to burn alcohol off first. If your goal is to increase the expenditure of calories and burn more body fat, but you're consuming those few extra glasses of alcohol than you need too each day or week, it's going to make it a lot harder to reach your goals. The energy value for alcohol calories is higher than protein and carbs. And it's surprising how many folk overlook beverage calories as not really counting, because it's liquid or drink and not food. At the end of the day, it all counts!
Tip 2. Quit Fooling Yourself
Do not fool yourself by thinking that if you just exercise for one extra session per week you can rid yourself of ALL those extra calorie packed fatty, sugary foods or alcohol. Unfortunately our bodies aren't that easily fixed. If you're consuming way over what your body expends - calorie / energy wise - you're going to need a whole heap more than 1 extra exercise session to whip your metabolism and your body into shape.
Tip 3. Why Most People Don't Succeed at Losing Body Fat
Other than the temptations mentioned above people tend not to succeed at fat loss because they are either not committed, not well informed on fat loss or they are committed for the wrong reasons. In other words you either aren't abiding by the rules, or have been mislead by some other belief, OR you are trying to lose body fat because you are trying to keep other people happy rather than yourself.http://past.is/mXEo
