How to Trick Your Body into Permanently Burning Off Fat

It seems like everyone is always searching for new and effective ways to lose weight as quickly as possible. If you're anything like me, you'll find that some methods seem to work wonders, while others tend to do more harm than good. Over the years, I've found that the best approach to weight loss is to tackle your goals from multiple directions. A healthy diet and good exercise habits are important, but you may also need to change your lifestyle a bit in order to help keep the pounds off once you've managed to shed them.
 
 
The Fundamentals of Fat Loss
 
1. Sleep Quality

Your body requires around 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to make you, and your metabolism, function appropriately. Having a poor or irregular sleep cycle may lead to your body retaining more fat as a resource than it actually needs.

2. Smoking

Even though smoking may cause a temporary curb in your appetite, it also causes long-term inflammation, which could cause an increase in the amount of fat deposition in your body.

3. Drinking Alcohol

Most alcoholic drinks contain quite an amount of calories, and can very easily make you put on weight. Alcohol also occupies your liver, thus preventing your digestive system from properly allocating energy.

4. Getting a Massage

Being too stressed can cause inflammation throughout your body, which can contribute to weight gain. A nice relaxing massage can be just what your body needs to get your fat loss goals back on track.

5. Daily Routine

Establishing a regular eating and sleeping schedule will allow your metabolism to work at a highly efficient pace. As a result, your chances of weight loss will drastically improve.

6. Technology

In our modern age, the prevalence of technology has kept us more sedentary and stagnant than ever before. Limiting your use of technology will give you more mental clarity and bonus time for some physical exercise.


How to Burn Fat Easily

1. Swimming

High-impact exercises like jogging or running can be painful for someone who's obese. However, swimming is an excellent alternative, since the resistance offered by the water will keep your heart rate up, without stressing your joints.

2. Cycling

Whenever the distance is realistic enough, you should try cycling instead of driving or taking public transport. This is both a fun and simple way of losing weight, while reducing harm to the environment.

3. Take the Stairs

Using the stairs instead of the elevator is a straightforward and passive way to lose weight without really thinking about it. Simply walking an additional ten to fifteen flights a day could leave quite an impact.

4. Commit to a Gym

Nobody likes to waste their money, so paying for a gym membership could be just the push you need to keep up your exercise habits.

5. Weight Traininggym equipment

Many people only stick to cardio when trying to lose weight, yet experts say that training with weights is just as important. By putting on some muscle mass, your body will have to spend calories to maintain it, instead of converting all those extra calories to fat.

6. Sexual Activity

Engaging in sexual intercourse will cause your body to release 'feel-good' hormones, which can help lower your body's stress levels. In addition to this, you'll also burn quite a few calories, depending on how enthusiastic your session is!

7. Yoga

While helping to lower your stress levels and strengthen your core muscles, yoga has also been found to boost your metabolism and aid in fat loss.

 


How to Lose Fat Quickly

1. Water

Drinking more water will detoxify your body and also fill you up more. Drinking a glass of water before dinner can prevent overeating, and a glass of water is also an ideal substitute for a snack.

2. Eating Space

Designating just one space for eating (that isn't the kitchen), will make you less likely to snack at the wrong time. It will also be easier to keep track of your eating habits, and will help reduce your peripheral calorie intake.

3. Snacks

Most vending machine snacks are bursting with sodium, fat, and sugar. Replace them with healthy snacks like nuts or vegetables, and you're guaranteed to see a positive change.

4. Breakfast

Limiting your breakfast to no more than 400 calories will give you a much better chance of sticking to your daily calorie goals. Make sure that you consume some energy-dense foods to help you avoid snacking later on in the day. Ideal breakfast choices include salmon, avocado, eggs, and peanut butter.

5. Say 'Goodbye' to Fast Food

Fast foods and processed foods have an absurdly high concentration of calories and saturated fats, which can shatter your diet. Enjoy watching the pounds melt off as you run far away from these guilty pleasures.

6. Balance Your Nutrient Intake

Make sure that your diet consists of an even balance of carbs, protein, and fat. This will avoid any nutrient deficiencies, without harming your fat loss goals.


Rules for Fast Weight Loss

1. Set Realistic Goals

Most people are unrealistic when it comes to goal-setting. Nobody can go from obese to slim in under 30 days. Setting yourself realistic goals will allow you to avoid discouragement, and will make you work harder to meet your targets.

2. Have Patience

Don't get discouraged if you don't start seeing immediate results. It takes a considerable amount of time to shift your lifestyle patterns, re-program your appetite, and speed up your metabolism. Good things come to those who wait.

3. Do It Right

Don't bother with crash diets, and don't get creative when coming up with a diet plan either. Look up weight loss plans that are actually endorsed by experts, and follow one of them instead.

4. Get Support

Trying to lose weight alone is far from easy. Turn to friends or professionals for support, and you'll find that losing weight suddenly becomes a lot easier.
5. Pay Attention
Your body will let you know if you're giving it a hard time. Common symptoms of nutrient or fat deficiencies include headaches, muscle aches, constipation, exhaustion, cognitive confusion, and gastrointestinal distress.


The Best Fat-Burning Foods​
1. Almonds

Almonds have a fantastic fat profile, which could result in a decrease in your body's bad cholesterol levels. They also signal your body to burn more calories, instead of storing it in your belly.

2. Green Tea

Green tea contains epigallocatechin, which is a fat-burning antioxidant, and can work wonders for weight loss.

3. Eggs

Eggs are filling, rich in protein, and low in calories. They can also aid in smooth muscle development, which is an added bonus.

4. Salmon

Salmon, tuna, and other types of fatty fish provide the body with essential omega-3 fatty acids. These will reduce your risk of diabetes and atherosclerosis,  both of which contribute to fat gain.

5. High-Fiber Food & Beans

Food which contains a lot of fiber is ideal for improving nutrient uptake and stimulating digestion. This will make food pass through your system a lot quicker, and will also reduce fat deposition. Additionally, fiber makes you feel fuller, which will decrease your chances of overeating or snacking.

6. Whole Grains

Like fiber, many whole-grain foods help to increase the sensation of being full. They also help to keep your cholesterol levels in check, whilst speeding up your metabolism.
