However, be reminded that there are no super secret shortcuts. You don’t have to live with that excess fat that you don’t want, you can get rid of it.

If you are going to get rid of your excess fat then it will require a lifestyle change on your part. I am not talking about going on a diet, this is a change in the way your run your life? Are you ready for that? You must be cognizant about what you eat. You cannot look good externally if you are not watching what you are feeding yourself internally. You really are what you eat! To get rid of excess fat you will need a nutritionally sound diet. You need to feed your body the amount of calories it needs, but you also need to make sure that it has the proper nutrients.

How many calories does your body need? This is where you need to start if you are going to get rid of that unwanted fat. Opposite of what most people think, you should not cut your calories drastically in order to get rid of excess fat. There is a bad side effect of cutting calories too much. Your body will kick into survival mode and will refuse to burn fat. Instead it will create fat. The most that you should ever cut you calorie intake by is 20%. You will want to cut out some calories, but not so many that your body is starving and will hold onto everything that you eat.

If you want to get rid of excess fat then you need to take a look at how many times a day you are eating. Ideally you should eat 5 – 7 small meals throughout your day. This will better prepare you body to lose excess fat. Your metabolism will keep going strong all day and your blood sugar and insulin levels will stay steady by eating more frequently.

Your body needs certain macronutrients in order to rebuild. The proper amount of macronutrients are as follows; 45% carbohydrates, 35% protein and 20% fat. A lean protein, high fiber carbohydrate and a healthy fat should be eaten at each meal. All changes that you make are not a temporary fix and should be maintained even after you reach your goals. This new way of eating is not meant to be done only for a certain period of time. You must develop it into a lifelong habit. Your goal is to make your new way of eating permanent. Incorporate these changes into your routine and you should be able to get rid of much of the excess fat that you are carrying around right now.
