Thread: Fat loss tips

Here are a few fat loss tips that I have applied when dieting, these yield great results:

* Determine your resting metabolic rate (RMR): These are your maintenance calories and eat 150 calories less than it per day.

* Eat 5-6 small meals per day as your body will utilise the nutrients more effectively.

* Drink plenty of water (water has no calories)

* Know your macronutrients and balance them in your diet:
* Protein: 1g protein = approx. 4 calories
* Carbs: 1g carbs = approx. 4 calories
* Fats: 1g fat = approx. 9 calories

* Lift weights 3-4 times per week, this is far more effective at burning fat than aerobic exercise. You do not need to lift heavy weight, 10-12 repetitions with 1-1.5 mins rest per set is sufficient to get your heart rate up

* Do aerobic exercise 3 times per week, 45 minutes at a steady/moderate pace is enough to improve your metabolism. Aerobic exercise in the morning on an empty stomach at a moderate pace is more effective in utilising fat for fuel.

* Do aerobic exercise and weight training on alternating days

* Have a cheat day/meal per week to trick your body, so you are refreshed for the next week of dieting.
