Fat Burning In A Nutshell

By Ricardo Daryans

Avoid holiday weight gain, all you have to do is follow these simple fat loss tips.

1) Don't drink liquid calories.

Please, no juices, sodas or sports drinks. Liquid sugar is your worst enemy when you are trying to lose fat.

You must also limit your alcohol intake - especially if you are adding mix to drinks...that is a double calorie bomb! A single "Jackand Coke" is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze and 100 calories from mix).

2) Fast food...never again

Eating at fast foods restaurants means nothing but one thing: fat. You will not find healthy food at a fast food restaurant.

And in order to profit while giving you cheap, quick, and easy to prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor-especially the protein.

If you want to be sure that the food you are eating is as good as it gets, then think about the option of preparing your own meals. There's no better way to be sure of what exactly you are eating.

As i told you, it may be hard at the beginning, but that food will be fresh as no other, will taste better (a lot better than fast food), and, the most important thing, it will be healthier. It will make you more alert, it will not make you want to have an afternoon nap at your desk.

One small improvement to your nutrition everyday for the rest of your life means a lot to your health.

3) Try eating more fruits and vegetables.

The goal is to eat up to 10 servings per day. If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per day by the end of the week. Then go up to 5 servings per day.

There's nothing better than organic fiber-rich fruits and vegetables.

Most nuts are roasted in oils (possible source of trans fats), so stick to natural or dry-roasted nuts.

Don't panic...this small amount of nuts won't make you fat, but will fill you up and help you lose weight.

5) Be consistent with your workouts.

There are workout sistems efficient and effective. If you are looking for an easy to follow, stick with some sistems like the Turbulence Training fat burning workout system.

It doesn't matter if you train in the morning before or after breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on days when the moon is in line with Saturn...don't worry about the details, just train consistently.

6) BONUS TIP: Go for a walk after lunch or dinner (or anytime you eat a big meal). Research shows this will help you control your cholesterol and triglycerides, plus any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV and snacking. - 15995
