MOST DIETS DON'T WORK FOR LONG TERM FAT LOSS.

Most diets are focused on reducing weight rather than burning excess bodyfat. They strip off vital muscle, the body's major fat burning component. When you remain at a particular bodyfat level for a long period of time, your body recognizes that as your fat setpoint. Substantial time (patience, discipline and fortitude) is required to lower your fat setpoint as you seek complete and permanent changes.

The body tissue you have today, good or bad, was built almost entirely from the foods you have eaten over the past 6 months. Make a commitment today to renew your body composition.

Watch the calories, watch the carbohydrates. Avoid excessive fats (high calories) and carbohydrates. The big bonus here is that after a few weeks, your tastes and habits will simply change. Fats, sugar and salt become less interesting.

FOR AN INTENSE FAT BURNING REGIME, TRY THE FOLLOWING TRICKS:

• Have a small spiral notebook to write the time you eat and what you eat. Begin this in baby steps; get a feel for what your body is normally digesting on a daily basis. Start by making small weekly adjustments in the beginning.
• Cut fat and salt intake drastically
• Consider training in the morning - this raises the metabolic rate throughout the day. This means more fat burning and more energy.
• Take 1-2 grams of L-Carnitine before workouts. This will helpl burn more fat.
• Drink water. The only real way to tell if you are drinking enough water is by your body. If your urine is not around 95% ~98% clear, you are not drinking enough water. Remember, everyone is different and your body's needs are different than that of your friends.
• Don't Scrutinize. Permanent changes take time. Test and record your bodyfat level every month. If you use a scale, weigh only once a week. After an initial drop in weight, plan to lose about 1 to 2 pounds per week steadily - this is a REALISTIC GOAL - it is important that your body learns to function metabolically with the weight loss. Not too fast or your metabolism just reverts back to what it is used to.
• Have your larger meals during the day, making dinner the lowest calorie meal. Don't go longer than 8 hour without eating and thats only when sleeping. Otherwise try to eat something every 4 hours. We are meant to graze, not gorge.
• After reaching your goal, be prepared to continue your nutrition regime in order to establish a new fat setpoint.
• Remember, protein is KING. To assure consistent intake for muscle adaption and weight control a protein powder should be on your shopping list.
• Always plan a disciplined low calorie day following any unusually high calorie days. Enjoy an extended workout and the subsequent high sugar pump.
• Have a partner to help keep you accountable. A National Fitness Pro Personal Trainer will help you gain the edge you'll need in ensuring the best results! Remember, the most important idea behind your training is to EDUCATE you first and foremost.
