Losing weight and losing fat are two different things. If you have tried every diet and exercise plan out there, here is a new way to think about it that just might make a difference in your results.

 

• You don’t need to exercise aerobically for long period of time. Just twenty minutes a day, six days a week is enough to burn fat and gain muscle.
• You can walk, run, jog, use a treadmill, bicycle, or jump rope to get results.
• Do your twenty minutes of exercise early in morning, before you have eaten anything. You will burn fat up to twice as fast by doing it this way.
• You can also do some weight training in the morning before eating for maximum effect.
• The idea is to use an intensity pattern where you exercise at you highest intensity for six minutes, take it down to a lower level for one minute, and then repeat that cycle three times.
• As you do this over a period of time your highest intensity level will go higher, allowing your body to burn even more fat.

 

Exercising in this way will help you to have a higher resting metabolic rate. This means that your body will use more fat while you are in a resting state, even when you are asleep. It is this type of program that can turn you into a metabolically efficient, fat burning machine.

What you eat during a diet and exercise program is crucial to your success. Make sure that you eat high quality protein, whether it is in the animal or plant form, and complex carbohydrates. Eliminate foods with no nutritional value, such as white rice, enriched flour, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup.
