If I got a pound every time I get asked this question: 'What is the best diet to do and what is the best exercise for your stomach?' I would be a rich man by now!
This is the ultimate question isn't it? Diet and exercise is not something you start on Monday morning and finish by noon! It is a question of lifestyle change. Here are my 3 things you must do to lose body fat fast.
NUMBER 1: There are millions of diet's on the market but the only way to truly succeed is to approach your nutrition with the attitude of changing your lifestyle. You must introduce new eating habits in order to make a significant dent in your body fat levels. It's not hard, it's relatively simple...
*NO Processed Meals or Microwave Meals
*NO Caffeine, NO Sugar, Chocolate or Additives
*NO Wheat or Gluten
*NO Dairy
*NO Alcohol
*5-7 meals a day
*Protein with every meal
*Vegetables with every meal (preferably raw)
*Supplement with omega 3 fish oil and a multi-vitamin
*2 litres of water min a day and Green Tea
With out a shadow of a doubt this is the most successful fat loss formula. The only thing that works better than this is to combine it with the RIGHT form of exercise.
What's the best form of exercise for fat loss? Weight training and interval training.
NUMBER 2: Strength training builds muscle and for every 1lb of muscle you have you will burn an extra 50 calories a day. It also boosts metabolism up to 10% after a training program
No matter how much you want to believe it, doing thousands of crunches is not going to take off any inches from your waist or fat from your abs.
And a recent study from the prestigious Journal of Applied Physiology showed strength training also doubled post-exercise fat burning.
Any "expert" who says strength training doesn't burn fat is living in the 1970's. Strength training must be a part of your fat-blasting workout routine.
NUMBER 3: Intervals stimulate a metabolic disturbance within your cells causing your body to burn body fat for hours after your workouts.
Back in November 2006, a research study shocked the general public proving short interval workouts were more effective for fat burning than long, slow, cardio workouts.
Now I don't mean to boast, But I already knew that...but there's more big news from "down under"...
According to Australian fat loss expert, Professor Steve Boucher, "high intensity intermittent exercise (i.e. intervals) may result in greater fat loss in the abdomen".
Basically, intervals burn stomach fat FIRST, over all other sources of fat on the body. Nothing else, not crunches, nor cardio, has ever been shown to result in stomach fat spot reduction.
This is big news. If you want to lose belly fat, you have to be doing intervals. If you're doing the same long, slow, boring cardio workout over and over again, then don't bother to expect any results.
You have to change your program.
You have to workout with more intensity.
You have to do shorter, less frequent workouts - using intervals.
What I am sharing with you is not rocket science and certainly is not new information, however, it is proven to work and thats why I offer a guarantee with my downloadable fitness programs and personal training.
Are you following this? Those who have followed my Drop A Dress Size Challenge or Beach Body Workout will tell you how well it works!
If not make you sure you start to take action NOW! Eat something healthier for lunch today. Add intervals into your next workout. Join a gym. If you hear a little voice inside your head saying 'I can't
Then
In my opinion Can't just means Won't.
