You are probably reading this blog post because you want to know the answer to how to lose body fat fast. Well there are lots of right and wrong ways to go about it. Lots of people think that to lose fat as quick as possible you have to dramatically reduce your diet. Whilst this can allow you to shift a lot of weight. Most of the weight lost will be lean muscle mass and that is one thing you do not want to lose.
By crash dieting you are also reducing your metabolism, so once you start eating normally again you will put all the weight you lost back on and more. But the worst part of it is, your body is carrying a lot more body fat than when you first started. The smart way to lose it is, around 2 pounds per week or around 1% of your body-weight. So if you weigh 300 lbs 3 pounds per week would be a good weight for you to lose each week.
How do you make sure though that the weigh you lose each week is fat. Well the first thing you need to invest in is a set of body fat scales. By weighing yourself at the same time each week and recording you body fat percentage. You will be able to find out what type of weight you are losing each week from your body. Lets say for instance you lose 4 pounds one week but only 2 pounds is fat. This means you might need to up your calorie intake slightly probably with protein which will help you to hold on to your lean body mass whilst your dieting.
If your honest with yourself almost everyone knows the answer on how to lose body fat fast. It through an healthy diet and exercise plan. If you are new to exercising it’s advised that you speak to a medically professional first before you begin. If you are following my body fat progress you will see that I record almost everything I do. And I’m working very hard by setting myself goals and challenge to complete. By setting yourself goals you are more likely to stick at it and stay focused and motivated.
The bottom line is, there’s no easy way to lose body fat fast. It will take lots of hard work and determination from you. But if you are willing to put the work in, you will be the ones who will be reaping the rewards. I started the year feeling low with no self confidence. I didn’t even want to leave the house. But now I’m feeling much better about myself and I’m starting to like what I see in the mirror. I’ve got a long way to go, to get to my target of 10% body fat but I will guarantee you I am going to get there in 2009.
