Losing Fat

Every single one of us who has gained a few or more pounds at some point know that it is not easy to lose weight. It doesn't help us either having these self-proclaimed experts providing us with many weight loss plans that carry very different principles from each other, oftentimes contradicting the other. Additionally, these programs end up making you do things that is just very unnatural such as making you go on an all-meat diet.

These contradictions have simply become a breeding ground for confusion and yo-yo dieting. Fat loss programs should be simple and should carry universal truths because, after all, these programs deal with the simplest of matters: basic human activities like eating and moving (exercising). This is probably the foundation for the book Fat Loss 4 Idiots. I'm sharing some of the book's fat loss tips here because I'm very impressed with its simple yet effective principles. Read on if you want to lose weight the natural way.

Let's start off with the dieting part. Going against the nature of your body which is "not eating" should never be a component of a proper diet. You have to eat to lose weight; that's the truth. But I won't be surprised if that truth has been tainted by many a "portion control" scheme of various programs (which seem to be starvation, if you ask me, because the portions do not even pass for a snack). Skipping meals will, without fail, mess up your metabolism. When you starve yourself, your body will go on survival mode and, thinking that the scarce resource is involuntary, will try its best to store fat the next time you eat. In short, it will be afraid to go hungry again. The first step to take in weight loss for idiots then is: eat.

Although important, portion control should never exceed the significance of eating the right kinds of food, the fat burning kind. So what you want to do is to add key ingredients into your meal that have the natural ability to burn more calories than their own calorie content. Some of the more common and easier fat-burning foods to prepare into amazing dishes are protein-rich ones like nuts, beans and eggs; tomatoes, lemons, apples and other fruits rich in vitamin C and, lastly, calcium-rich dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt.

It might be puzzling to find dairy products in this list but the truth is that the calcium in these foods actually serves as a fat burner. Calcium increases fat breakdown in fat cells. Learn more about how these and other fat burning foods really work to burn fat at the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Review. You can even get a meal plan while you are it. Take these tips and combine them with a 20-minute exercise of any form (jogging, swimming, walking, dancing) and you will surely be on a great start to a shapelier, and not to mention healthier, you.
