Still trying to get that dream body you crave? Until you know the 2 step process that will burn fat so you can gain muscle you'll still be just dreaming of it.
Here they are:
Your fat cells must release the fat
Then your body must burn the fat
Simple enough? Now we just have to know how to make those 2 steps happen.
5 Basic Rules to Get the Fat Out
1. Stick with natural foods ~ avoid processed and refined foods
2. Eat some fats ~ your body does need the healthy ones
3. Have some protein with every meal
4. Don't skimp on the good carbs ~ whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
5. Don't skip meals! Keep your metabolism up by eating less more often
Ok, so from eating right you're now getting the fat to leave your fat cells, now to get your body to burn it off.
One word ~ Cardio.
Your cardiovascular system will take care of this step, and the better it is at it, the better your body will burn fat and gain muscle.
A common misconception is that long drawn out cardio sessions along with a restricted diet will do the trick. Unfortunately when you do that, you will just burn muscle tissue instead of fat. Fat is burned through muscle so the last thing you want to do is lose muscle. The less muscle you have, the less fat burning can happen.
You will want to keep an eye on how many calories you're consuming, and always aim for burning more than you're eating.
