5 Fat Loss Tips made Easy!

Fat loss doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it out to be. To prove it, I decided to make a list of 5 simple fat loss tips to follow to get the body of your desire. Ready, here we go:

1. Start off each day with a healthy breakfast. You must start your metabolism off on the right footing for the day to help burn fat.

2. Don’t eat 2-3 large meals a day. Eat 5-6 small meals and eat more fruits and vegetables. These add important vitamins and fiber and tend to make you feel full faster.

3. Stay away from soft drinks, juices and ice tea with high fructose corn syrup and you will see the pounds melt away.

4. Don’t eat processed foods. Processed foods- are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates metabolize faster than proteins and can leave you feeling tired and lethargic.

5. Don’t starve yourself! You are actually slowing your metabolism down and not burning any fat. Studies show that by starving yourself you will lose weight, but up to 50% of that weight loss comes from muscle tissue.

Can exceeding your target heart rate during aerobics have a detrimental effect on muscle gain and fat loss?

If you are in a fairly good physical condition going a little higher every now and then can be safe but over exertion should be avoided. It is possible to exceed the upper limit of your target heart rate without any ill effects, as long as you do not have coronary artery disease or are at risk for a heart attack.

What it may do, though, is leave you with a musculoskeletal injury or sore joints and muscles. Exceeding you target heart rates (THR) would not allow you exercise for longer duration which is most important while exercising.

Also remember to reevaluate your THR about every month or so based on your RHR (resting heart rate). The best way is to stay on equal carbohydrates, proteins, and fats combined with exercise.
