Top Ways to Lose Body Fat!!

Pretty much everyone wants to lose body fat. Losing body fat is usually among the top 3 reasons why people workout. A lot of people tend to overcomplicate fat loss. It’s not complicated, but it does take willpower, hard work, and consistency. Follow these 7 tips to turn your body into a fat-burning machine!! You will be amazed at how much body fat you can lose if you really focus on these areas!

1) Proper nutrition is always the number one factor when it comes to fat loss. No, you can’t outwork your diet, and no, there is no special diet that allows you to eat junk food all of the time and lose fat. You have to make your nutrition a priority if you want to lose body fat.

2) Eat a high-protein diet!! Aim for your lean body weight (your healthy body weight minus your extra fat) in grams of protein daily as a minimum. This will keep you feeling full and satisfied so you don’t have lots of junk food cravings. It will also help you build muscle if you are strength training.

3) Avoid sugar, processed foods, fried foods, alcoholic drinks, and high carbohydrate sources as much as you can. I am not saying you can’t ever have these foods, but if you want to lose body fat, you need to keep these things to a minimum! Anytime you ingest sugar, processed foods, fried foods, alcoholic drinks, and high-carb foods, you are cranking up the hormones in your body that cause you to store body fat. Save these treats for special occasions only. If you are consuming them daily, you will get fatter over time.

4) Strength train a minimum of 3 days per week. Most adults are losing muscle mass every year. The more muscle a person has the more fat he will burn. Loss of muscle is one of the biggest reasons people gain body fat over time. Better yet, if you can add muscle, you will speed up your metabolism even more.

5) Do sprints or high-intensity training for cardio. Long, slow aerobic conditioning is good for your heart health and has its place, but short, high-intensity sprints are excellent for cranking up the body’s hormones that cause more fat burn!

6) Ditch the scale, and focus on fat loss, not weight loss. A lot of people focus on how much they weigh as a predictor of fat loss. Weight loss doesn’t matter; fat loss is what matters! Get an Inbody or body composition scan to make sure you are losing fat and not your muscle. If you can build muscle while losing body fat, you will crush your fat-loss efforts!!

7) Think long-term and not short-term!! Gaining body fat takes time to put on, and equally, it takes time to get off. You have to be patient!! The guidelines above will work over time, but you need to have willpower and trust the process! Would you be willing to work hard this week to lose one pound of fat? One pound of fat doesn’t sound like much, but it can be done in a week for sure. How about 52 pounds of fat in a year?? That is one pound of fat loss a week. If you can do this, you will be a new person!! Your whole life will be greatly improved. Trust the process, and reap the long-term benefits.

If you’re 35–55 in Adelaide, chances are you’ve tried “getting fit” before. Maybe it was a bootcamp, a running phase, or a random circuit class where you just tried to survive the timer. You got sore, maybe hurt, and then life got busy again.  At this stage of life, you don’t need more random workouts. You need strength training classes in Adelaide that help you get properly strong in a way your joints can actually tolerate.
