4 Ways to Lose Body Fat Faster

Try these 4 techniques for fast, but healthy, weight loss...

1. Get very strict with your diet.

When bodybuilders and fitness models want to lose fat quickly before a show or photo session they eat a very strict diet for at least 2 or 3 weeks. That means no refined carbs, sugars, fried foods, or alcohol... but lots of high-quality protein, carbs and "good" fats. For best results, eat mostly lean meats, raw nuts, veggies, and healthy oils (e.g. virgin olive oil) with one or two servings of high-fiber carbs (whole grains, oatmeal, etc.) and no more than 2 servings of fruit per day.

2. Eat frequently.

By eating a small snack or meal every 2-3 hours you'll keep your metabolism going very strong plus you'll avoid getting hungry and giving in to food cravings. It will also help you maintain the all-important lean muscle so that the dieting doesn't affect your metabolism.

3. Stay very well hydrated.

When trying to burn fat and lose weight quickly you absolutely must stay hydrated. That means drinking lots of water all day long. This will help you maintain your energy levels, control hunger, and maintain a healthy metabolism. Drinking lots of water also helps to keep hunger at bay.

4. Do strength training.

Many people make the mistake of focusing only on cardiovascular/aerobic exercise when trying to lose weight fast. That's a mistake. The best workouts for fat burning and fast weight loss combine both cardio training and strength training. These types of workouts burn more calories and more body fat both during and after the training session. Strength training, like frequent eating, is also important in maintaining the muscle tissue that's going to keep your metabolism strong and give you the great looking body you want.
