subject: A Straight-Forward Answer to the Question, How Do I Lose Body Fat? [print this page] I often receive emails from men and women who want to know, "How do I lose body fat?" The problem is that many people have become resistant to burning body fat due to years of being overweight, inactive or eating a diet high in refined carbohydrates. This article starts with a strategy that primes the body for fat loss and then shares strategies on how to keep losing. 1. Prime your body for fat loss. If you find that weight loss is slow or it seems whatever you do you cannot lose fat then you likely need to take a 2 week period and prime your body. The problem is that your body has become accustom to using carbohydrates for energy and if your body has been getting a steady supply of this quick energy source it will always turn to them for energy and neglect another great source of energy just sitting on your body - i.e. body fat. For the next 2 weeks shift your carbohydrates out of your diet after lunch. Before lunch you can eat good whole grain carbohydrates but after lunch remove them. This forces your body to turn to burning body fat for energy. 2. Mix up your calorie level. Another common problem for people who are wondering, how do I lose body fat is that they keep their calorie level low for too long and their weight loss stops. The body adapts easily and it will adapt to a low level of calories and drop your metabolism in order to preserve fat. So you must outsmart your body by keeping your calories low for 6 days of the week and then giving yourself a high calorie meal on day 7. 3. Get the most out of your workouts. When your goal is to lose body fat you will want to include exercise. The best exercises for burning fat will also preserve your muscle mass. Since muscle is what drives your metabolism you will want to do exercises that build muscle such as weight lifting and aerobic exercise that includes peaks of high-intensity. When your question is how do I lose body fat, you want your diet and exercise working at their most efficient levels, follow these tips to get the weight off.
