Fat Loss-Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

By Bryon Zirker

Most fitness guru's you ask about how to lose fat will
say that you need to cut 3,500 calories from your diet,
and you will lose one pound, guaranteed.

Wrong! It is not that simple. Researcher Kevin Hall
over at the National Institutes of Health put a challenge
this notion and came to the incredible conclusion that
the more fat someone carries, the more calories they
have to burn to lose that pound of fat.

Confused! Here is a simple fat loss solution.

1. Focus on two things to burn calories in addition to
decreasing the calories you eat (a) Interval training
in the form of short, intense workouts of total-body
strength training done up to three times per week a
family, joining a sports league - any activity that you
can enjoy and gets you off of the couch.

2.Eat more whole, natural fruits and vegetables and
fewer processed carbohydrates, which will automatically
decrease your calorie intake. Limit your food intake
to between 250 to 500 calories per day and look to
improve the quality of the foods you eat.

3.Go to Fitday.com. Once you are there, set up a free
diet and weight-loss journal. This is a great educational
tool, the fact is many people have absolutely no idea
how many calories are in common foods. We should all
make it our business know how many calories we are
eating now in order to determine how many calories
we should be eating for fat loss.

Lets keep it simple. Make the commitment you will
be glad you did. Do it now!
