Are you one of those people who have tried to lose weight over and over again, only to have it magically pile back on after a while? Then perhaps you’ve fallen victim to the many misconceptions about losing body fat. In this article, we reintroduce 6 tried and tested ways you can burn fat and keep the weight off. However, nothing stays the same without proper maintenance, so be sure to follow up and turn those healthy tips into habits.
1. Get Enough Sleep
Your body is more apt to hang onto fat if you’re running on insufficient amounts of sleep. Getting a proper healthy dose of sleep each night will ensure that the fat you burn stays off; just make sure you eat early enough for your body to digest the food before bed. A considerable amount of time, no less than 3 hours before bedtime, will suffice.
2. Start Strength Training
The biggest misconception is that strength and weight training are more likely to bulk you up rather than slim you down. Strength training is essential to burning fat sustainably as it is the fastest way to shred unnecessary fat and lightly tone muscles; this can be accomplished through resistance training, which requires working with resistance bands, weight lifting, cycling, dancing, and trying other cardio-based activities. Things as simple as climbing up the stairs and gardening can also suffice as healthy exercise for beginners.
3. Opt for a High-Protein, Healthy Fats Diet
It’s so important to ensure you are eating a diet tailored for your specific body type and health condition. Too many people make the mistake of starving themselves. This is incredibly dangerous for our health, not to mention majorly ineffective and wasteful of your energy. You should never give up being healthy when trying to lose fat, nor should you skip those high-protein meals, as this is what gives you the strength to function properly and build a healthy body. Make sure your diet consists of seafood, lean meats, soy, beans, seeds, eggs, nuts, and low-fat dairy.
To lose weight, you must burn off more calories than you eat, which can be tough to do if you’re not used to much movement or lead a sedentary lifestyle in general. Luckily, most PTs and nutritionists in the UK recommend the use of dietary supplements as some of them can be helpful fat burners; they ensure you’re getting all the nutrients your body needs to sustain energy without overloading on food. However, you should consult with your doctor before taking any supplements to ensure they are right for you.
4. Cut Down on Carbs and Fill Up on Fiber
One of the most effective weight loss diets that keep your body full and healthy is to fill up on fiber and reduce refined carbs. Low-carb diets help reduce your appetite so you no longer eat unnecessarily large meals; adding fiber, on the other hand, is a healthy way to feel full after each meal without piling up on too many carbs.
5. Drink Healthier Liquids
It should go without saying that almost all living beings need to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Keep a reusable bottle with you at all times to remind yourself and find water when you find yourself a bit dry. You should also consider drinking healthier, more natural beverages and cutting down on artificial, sugary drinks. Limit your alcohol consumption and replace it with smoothies and fresh juices.
6. Manage Stress
Stress management is essential to consider in your health plan. Having to constantly deal with stress can derail the efforts you spend trying to lose that body fat sustainably. Our bodies literally carry our stresses around, which is why looking for ways to calm our minds and practice mindfulness can drastically impact how well we burn fat, not to mention how we feel on a general well-being level.
These 6 tips are suitable for everyone. No matter where you are in terms of fitness or how good your diet is, you can start adopting these strategies today and you should expect to see a remarkable difference in no time. The most important thing to understand when trying to burn fat is that being healthy is the priority, the fat burning will naturally follow.
