Top Ten Fat-Loss Tips
Building muscle is cool, but if you can't see them, then maybe they're not really there! Sure, your strength is a sure sign of muscle growth, but still, don't we all want that six-pack? In order to get a six-pack, you need to lean down enough so that the muscles in your abdomen show through.
For that, you need to lose body fat. But how? Here are my Top Ten tips for losing body fat. Note that I didn't say, "for losing weight." Anybody can lose weight. Die, for example. Hang out in the sauna. Fast. Practice binging and purging. All these things will help you lose weight. But they're not necessarily good for losing fat.
Here goes:
- Don't go on a drastic diet. Doing so will only cause you to abandon the fat-loss ship and binge on crap that shouldn't be in your house.
- Don't buy junk food. Anything that you shouldn't eat should not be in your house. Not even for "desperate times." You have to have to work for your guilty pleasures – if it's only a 10 foot walk away, it's too easy. But if it's across town, then you have to think about it. And that's good.
- Vary your diet – don't eat the same thing every day. This serves two purposes – first, when food bores you, you eat more of it, and two, varying the things you eat every day will help you to vary your caloric intake each day. Your body acclimates to a given caloric intake and if you drop your intake by 500 calories each day, you should lose a pound of body fat per week (if you did no exercise at all). However, interestingly, your body will soon adjust to that drop and you'll stop losing weight!
- Exercise. Incorporate both aerobic and anaerobic activities. Aerobic means "with oxygen" which indicates that you should be doing exercise that uses a lot of oxygen, like running, cycling, and intense hiking. Anaerobic means "without oxygen" (which is not technically correct, since we have to breathe when we work out with weights – weight training is the best form of anaerobic activity. Do both.
- Cut out the crap first. Doing so, you could easily drop 500 calories from your daily diet. Cut out the Starbucks, the doughnuts, the candy. Empty calories make you fat and will kill you.
- Jump rope. Ever see a fat boxer who jumped rope? Nope. You haven't. Fat boxers don't jump rope. They eat small puppies.
- Never sit when you can stand or walk when you can run. The idea is to ramp up your metabolism and one very good way is to keep moving.
- Ironically, you need to eat fat to lose fat. Otherwise, your body begins to hoard fat and use protein and carbs for fuel rather than body fat. Not what you want. Salmon, beef, and eggs are good sources of fat. And don't separate the egg white from the yolk. Nature knows that protein and fat go together. One without the other is pointless.
- Diet pills can help in the short-run, but they become less effective over time. I'd suggest that you refrain from using them. Remember that it took you months if not years to gain that unwanted body fat. It won't vanish in a few weeks.
- Weigh yourself once a week. Don't bother doing it every day. Your weight will fluctuate day-by-day, even if you're on a downward trend; it is this downward trend that we want to follow, not the daily ups and downs. 2 pounds a week is still a great goal.
