On Stronglifts.com, it is given about how to lose fat in a fast and healthier way.
People often talk about diets vs. lifestyles. Diets don’t work to lose fat. Lifestyle changes do. If you want to maintain a healthy body fat, I agree. But if you want to go from 20% body fat or more to 10% I don’t. Fat is emergency storage for your body. Forcing your body to loose fat isn’t a healthy condition to stay in. Fat loss must happen fast.
Here’s how to lose fat fast.
1. Eat less. Start eating your body-weight in lbs x 16kcal (use Fitday). Cut 500kcal one week later. Check the balance one week later again.
2. Maintain Muscle. Lose fat, not muscle. Muscle burns calories, fat doesn’t. The more muscular you are, the more calories you burn.
3. Burn More Calories. Burn more calories than you consume and you’ll lose fat. Be more active. Not only will you lose fat, you’ll also be healthier & feel better.
4. Do Cardio. Cardio makes you lose fat faster & allows you to eat more. If you burn 1000kcal using cardio, you can eat 500kcal more while still having a 500kcal deficit to lose fat.
5. Eat Healthy. Your body stores carbs as fat when you eat too much of them. Carbs also cause carb cravings. Lower your carb intake, up your fat intake. This forces your body to use fat for energy.
6. Eat The Same Every Day. The more variety you build into your diet, the less you stick to it. Eating the same every day is more effective. It also teaches you food is fuel in the first place, not pleasure. Select several healthy & balanced meals you like. Eat them every day. Change the meals when you get bored of them. Not fun, but effective. Think results.
7. Keep Yourself Motivated. Set goals & track progress. The weigh scale is not your best tool.
