If you’re ready to reduce your body fat, you
can’t go about it haphazardly. You’ll have to drop the anything-goes attitude
and adhere to seven rules that will make your fat-burning attempts a wild
success.
What are those rules? You’re about to find out.
Rule #1: Water Rules
Ready to melt away the fat that’s been clinging
to your front, back, and sides since you can remember? Then you’ll need to
drink water. A lot of it. Every time you feel the urge to drink something, make
it water. Not juice. Not milk. And definitely not beer. They add sugars and
calories to your daily intake, which will do nothing but make it harder to get
rid of your fat stores. Drinking water also helps you avoid eating when you’re
not hungry, feel better, and doesn’t slow you down when it’s time to exercise.
Rule #2: Protein, Please
Burning fat requires you to eat differently. That
means no more eating whatever you want whenever you want. One of the best
things you can eat to get rid of fat is protein. Whether chicken, turkey, eggs,
low-fat cottage cheese, beef, or whey protein powder, protein at every meal
gives you energy you can use for whatever tasks come your way.
Rule #3: Vary Your Variety
There are lots of exercises that help you burn
fat. Actually, just about any routine you do will help. And that’s why you
should do them all. Prefer high-intensity interval training (HIIT)? Fantastic!
Just be sure to switch is up with resistance training, strength training, and
stretching here and there. This will help your body work differently and
therefore find new ways to get rid of unwanted fat.
Rule #4: Go Big
One of the most successful long-term plans to get
rid of fat is to add muscle to your body. The best way to do this is by
utilizing big, compound movements with free weights. That means plenty of bench
press, squats, deadlifts, and military press. Of course, you may not be a
weight-lifting aficionado. No problem. Call or email us to get started on an
exercise program that’s just right for you.
Rule #5: Eat Less
On the path to less fat, one rule you can’t
ignore is to simply eat less food. That’s right—calories matter. Think you can
get away with eating all the healthy food you can find and still burn fat?
Think again. Your body only needs a certain amount of calories to function. The
rest sit around and have the potential to stick around for the long haul—even
if they come from fresh fruits and vegetables.
Rule #6: Go to Bed
It seems no matter how many studies come out
showing the direct connection between sleep and fat loss, people still ignore
their body’s signals to get more sleep. Don’t be one of them. Get to sleep at a
decent hour that allows you to get about eight hours every night. You’ll feel
better in the morning, avoid midnight snack temptations, and burn more fat
during your waking hours.
Rule #7: Relax Once
This is less a rule than a suggestion, but it’s a
good idea to give yourself a break now and then. Otherwise, you may find
yourself unable to maintain your fat-burning ways for the long-term. Once a
week, for exactly one meal, allow yourself to enjoy whatever food you’ve been
craving. It could be a greasy hamburger with all the fixings, a piece of
chocolate caramel banana-crème cake, or just a salad with your favorite
fattening dressing. Just remember to keep it to a normal portion size, only do
it for one meal each week, and return back to your healthy eating immediately.

Cook Your Meals
Another rule to fat loss is to cook most of your
meals at home. Eating out should be a luxury, not an everyday affair. If you
find yourself choosing at restaurants more often than you’d like—especially if
you’re eating all the wrong foods, cut back on your eating out ways and watch
yourself become leaner.
