Successfully Burn Body fat

By Jason King

To successfully burn unwanted fat from your body the first phase is to get your food combinations correct. No amount of exercise will burn the fat that is continually put on your body from a poor diet. Doing an extra 10 minutes cardio in the evening because you cheated on your diet with a burger at lunchtime just doesn't work.

You need energy to exercise when you're burning fat from your body. A diet that has gotten a lot of media attention over the last few years is the low carb diet. And these fad diets have been backed by famous celebrities because of the rate in which they help you lose weight.

The problem with low carb diets is you lose muscle as well as fat, and losing muscle slows down your metabolism. This seems like a good thing while you're on your diet, but the pounds will soon pile back on when you start eating a proper balanced diet again.

Carbohydrates feed your muscles and give them the energy you need to exercise. Low carb diets can make you feel grumpy because of the lack of energy in your body. Depression soon sets in when you cut carbs from your diet. And you're suppose to feel good while you're dieting, and fell more energetic.

Low fat diets are another fad diet. The only reason to go on a low fat diet is if you're suffering with an illness such as heart disease. Fat is as important as any other macro nutrient if your goal is to lose weight.

Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Your weight loss program will have a massive benefit from eating healthy unsaturated fats. Cell regeneration in your body relies on healthy fats in your diet. Fish oils such as omega 3's are now well known for being good for the brain because the brain is largely made of fat. This is the same for most of your body and some vitamins and minerals need a healthy supply of fats to transport themselves around your body.

Your muscles grow when you consume more protein which is why protein is important for weight loss. When you feed your muscles they get bigger, and then your metabolism increases. You'll never successfully burn fat if you don't increase your metabolic rate. With a higher metabolic rate your body will burn more calories even while you're resting.

A good exercise regime is also needs to be introduced into our life as well as a healthy diet. Exercise makes you stronger, and when you get stronger your muscles grow. When your muscles grow you increase your metabolism, and your body burns fat faster then you could have imagined.

No wonder pill or fad diet can do for your body what a healthy diet and good exercise program can do.
