Blast Fat With These Recommendations!

Fat burners are a great way to blast fat, but dietary and lifestyle changes are important too. Let's look at 8 fat blasters to help you get lean quickly. These are fat blasting secrets from the world's top fitness athletes and bodybuilders:

  1. Increase your cardio workouts and maintain your weight-training. Up your cardio workouts to 1 hour, 6 times per week, with 1 day off. Stay in weight-training maintenance mode, not muscle-building mode.
  2. Eat your starchy carbs early in the day. You will burn off the carbs earlier on in the day. The only exception is for late-night workouts; you'll need to replenish your energy stores. Be sure to measure your carbohydrates, like oatmeal for example, using a measuring cup to ensure that you consume only the correct quantities.
  3. Eat protein at a minimum of 3 times per day. It takes approximately 25% more energy to burn 1 calorie of protein than 1 calorie of fat or carbohydrate. So, even when you consume the same amount of calories, you are actually burning off more calories by increasing your protein intake. Not to mention, protein is filling and it is needed to maintain your muscle mass as you lose weight.
  4. Stop eating 3 hours before bedtime. This will maximize the production of growth hormone during your sleep, increasing your fat-burning as a result.
  5. Limit your restaurant meals. When eating out, people have a tendency to overeat and to consume too many carbohydrates. Check out the menu online before you hit the restaurant, so you know exactly what you are going to order. This will keep temptation at bay and keep you in control of your eating.
  6. No fried or fast foods whatsoever. They are loaded with saturated fats and calories.
  7. Have 1 cheat meal once per week. You need to treat yourself when you are losing fat and keeping to your exercise regime. Keep the cheat meal to around 700 calories or less.
  8. At the end of each week, set at least 1 goal for the next week. A goal to improve upon could be drinking more water, measuring your food carefully, writing down your calorie intake religiously, etc.

Do all of the above and you'll burn fat quickly and get lean before you know it. Add fat burners and you'll lose the fat that much faster!

Be healthy, fit and live life to the fullest.
