What You Thought You Knew About Weight Loss Is Wrong

In order to lose weight you need three components to your program, period. No matter what marketers say, you will need a resistance training part, a cardiovascular part, and a diet component. No arguments. If the program does not have these things, or incorporate cardio using high intense interval training, or circuit training then your program will likely fail.

Most people are under the impression that starving themselves will help them lose fat? Another common method is to do a bunch of ab workouts in order to try to spot-reduce the belly fat, none of which works, even a little.

In reality, you should be doing 2-3 times of resistance training per week in order to build more metabolically expensive muscle tissue. The more you have the better. A good example is bodyweight training circuits or super-sets… Another is the classic bodybuilding split with the intention of building muscle and not lose fat. Either way is fine, as long as you do additional cardio with your muslcebuilding program.

Any diet program or fad diet that will promise you amzing results in shorts amounts of time is a total rip off unless they have a good solid workout program to work with, and more often than not it’s the workout program that is working, not the diet. You can’t live on “too few” calories all your life, you’ll diet and lose all your muscle, go back to old habits and gain your weight back and more.

A raised metabolism is essential for fat loss and the only good way to achieve this is through intense workouts. An intense workout as short as 4-8 minutes can yield bigger benefit than 60 minutes of cardio becuase of the afterburn or EPOC effect. Get off the treadmill and start doing short demanding workouts!

So get on a good solid fat loss program that has all of the components explained above. You don’t need hours in the gym either. There are short 15 minute workouts that work like gangbusters to burn belly fat because of the after burn effect. Learn about these programs and use them to your advantage and get in amazing shape and change your life.
