This study that took 24 weeks, end up published in the International Journal of Obesity (Fat) and Related Metabolic Disorders, included 65 adult subjects who were either over fat or super fat. Half of the group of subjects consumed a low-calorie meal plan plus 84 grams (three ounces) each day of almonds. The other half of the group of subjects consumed a low-calorie meal plan along with their choice of complex carbohydrates. Both groups consumed the same amount of calories and protein.

reduction in actual body weight, a 50 percent greater reduction in waist measurement, and a 56 percent greater reduction in body fat mass as compared with the other group.

Fat-Burn Fat While You Sleep

By Bryon Zirker

Dietary supplement companies started getting in trouble late in the 1990's for falsely claiming their pills and potions could help burn body fat while you sleep. Some of the latest research shows promise for an activity that works-----resistance training.

People in a total-body resistance-training research study performed a circuit of three exercises which were the bench press, power clean, and squat. They completed about 10 repetitions of each exercise, and rotated through the circuit four times. Their workouts lasted only 31 minutes.

So here's the cool part. The researchers found in the study that the people's metabolism was elevated for more than 36 hours following the resistance training.

This means that they burned more calories and more fat for a day and a half after doing the resistance training. I think you will agree that is an awesome metabolism boost!

Burning fat aroung the clock is possible and should be the goal for people trying to burn the fat off. Be sure to include resistance training in your workouts to burn fat while working and resting.
