burn fat
Lance Thomas asked:


 

You hear a lot of people say that you can’t burn fat and build muscle at the same time, it’s not how the body works. And then you hear people say the opposite and you don’t know who is right because either way you’re not getting the results that you want. You want to build up your muscles but not with fat because it won’t matter how much muscle you have if it’s all covered up with a layer of fat.

 

I was actually on this same search a few months back, trying to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. I wanted to make sure that all of my hard work wasn’t all covered up because I’m motivated by results and I know that if I had spent a lot of time trying to build muscle and it was covered up by fat o would be discouraged, and possibly look bigger. I wanted to have that cut ripped look but it was so hard. I didn’t want to get skinny either, I liked my size I just wanted to be more muscular without the added fat of getting bigger. A buddy of mine had let me know about this program that he was using to do just that and he was looking pretty ripped. So I decided to give it a try and it was actually working! To my surprise it was relatively easy and detailed. I was extremely satisfied with the results I was getting. Take a look at my link to see exactly what I am talking about. If you’re serious about burning fat and building fat I’m sure you will not find anything better!

There is a very effective way to stop gaining weight permanently. It’s called calorie shifting and it will actually burn fat permanently by eating! Unlike all other diets this is also the only diet that is not effected by a rebound effect or gaining weight back after the diet is finished. It’s unique in many ways, and in this article I’ll briefly explain how it works.

How to Never Gain Weight Again

The key to weight loss as everyone knows is to burn more fat. Well how do you do that to the greatest effect? Well the logical thing would be to improve the factor that burns the fat, this being your metabolism. It is actually possible through eating to boost your metabolism beyond its normal range and keep it elevated so you burn more calories than you consume. As long as you do this you will keep losing weight while being able to enjoy eating at the same time.

The way calorie shifting works is that you eat a continually changing diet which focuses on variety. When you eat the same foods every day your body becomes adjusted to your diet and as a result your metabolism actually drops. It’s a strange mechanism but its part of the way humans evolved, your metabolism only becomes highly active when foods eaten are different from what it was expecting. If you constantly change your diet you will actually find that you can eat and burn fat at the same time. Best of all because this targets your metabolism you will continue to burn fat, even after you complete the diet. It’s a phenomenal way to lose weight and unlike all other diets which when you stop will put weight back on, calorie shifting does not suffer from the same fate.

Calorie shifting effectively = Permanent weight loss results.

Do you know that you are actually fighting against nature when you are attempting to lose weight? You see, way back long ago, when a caveman’s next meal was uncertain and he was hungry, the body will store and conserve as much fat as possible to ensure its survival.

Furthermore, it will lower the metabolism rate so that less fat is being burnt for energy. Therefore we all have this built-in survival mechanism and this is the reason why skipping meals when trying to lose weight is not such a good idea. Now, you can see why it is so easy to gain weight and so difficult to lose them?

Although we now have certainty when our next meal is coming, our body will still instinctively store fat for it is a natural survival mechanism since the body can’t think. Fortunately, there are a number of ways we can raise our metabolism and keep fat at bay.

If you want to burn fat by raising your metabolism, try lifting weights. Lift weights using compound exercises with high repetitions. The idea is not to build muscles but to raise your metabolism in order to burn fat. Since compound exercises such as dead lifts, squats and bench presses work on many muscle parts, you will be puffing and panting. In other words, you are having a good fat burning cardio work out.

Because the exercises work on many muscle parts, more calories are expanded and that meant more fat is burnt. Don’t waste your time doing puny exercises like bicep curls or tricep extensions. Yes, these exercises have their places, but they are not efficient for fat burning.

You should also limit the number of sets of each exercise to 3 or 4 sets since there are some studies showing that there is no difference in doing four or six sets for fat burning purpose.

Next, do pay close attention to how long you rest in between sets. Resting for too long, say for 2 minutes will clear a fat burning hormone releasing chemical called lactate from your bloodstream. Therefore if you want to burn fat, you need to keep lactate in your blood stream for as long as possible. Therefore do not rest more than a minute in between sets.

Yes, you say that there is not sufficient recovery time after the last set and performing the next set before recovery will not be efficient. Well, you can get around this easily by alternating the exercises such as doing a lower body exercise, and then do an upper body exercise next.

Tempo when lifting weight is vitally important. By swinging your weights up and down will get you nowhere, perhaps even getting an injury. This is because when you swing the weight up, you are using momentum and when you lower them quickly, you are using gravity to assist you.

Therefore, slow things down to a consistent rhythm but fairly quickly enough to get a cardio workout.

Although the above exercise techniques are not meant for building muscles but for raising metabolism to burn fat, if you have never lifted weights before, you will also gain some muscles. Do know that muscles are natural fat burner and the more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolism. When you have gained enough muscles, you will become a natural fat burner.
