Can't Lose Fat? Maybe You're Doing It Wrong

By Art Turner


Fat loss looks easy on paper. Burn more calories than you consume. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
Force your body to burn stored fat for energy. You know where your next meal is coming from, so there's no need to fatten up. Unfortunately, what's simple on paper is difficult to achieve. You may not have time for regular exercise. You may not have the willpower to eat less. What you eat may have more calories than you think. Fat loss remains elusive.

Think cardio is the best way to lose fat? Work the treadmill until your legs fall off? Sorry, that's not the way. Cardio should be part of your routine. But you need to build muscle to lose fat.
Muscle burns more calories than fat. Did you know it takes up to 100 calories a day just to feed one pound of muscle? If you add muscle to your frame, you burn more calories. Even when you're just sitting around.

Your fat loss strategy will need to include the right diet plan. Reducing calories alone won't do the trick. But neither will exercise alone. Losing fat requires reducing your calorie intake plust exercising. Make sure you get enough protein to build muscle. Reduce carbs, but don't eliminate them.

By the way, the more fat you lose, the more difficult it will get. If you want really low body fat levels, you may have to reduce your calorie intake even more later on.

Losing fat is not something you do once. It's a lifestyle choice. Maintaining low body fat levels doesn't happen without continuing effort. Unfortunately, it gets harder as you get older. Start now so you'll know what works best for you.

Bottom line? Don't freak out about your size. Concentrate on your health. Of course, lower body fat is healthier. Shoot for lowering your body fat levels. Get your weight distributed evenly around your body.
