3 Ways to Burn Fat
November 25, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment
Any successful dieter needs to incorporate ways to burn fat into their lifestyle. You should try a number of different ways to burn fat, but here are 3 ways to get you started:
- Drink green tea. Green tea has been shown to help boost metabolism, which in turn burns fat. You can drink the tea hot or iced, but try to add 3-4 glasses to your fluid intake per day.
- Lift weights. A pound of muscle burns more calories than a pound of fat, so by increasing your muscle load you will burn more fat throughout the day.
- Get a good night’s sleep. When your body is exhausted, it cannot work efficiently. This includes being able to burn fat! Don’t skimp on your sleep when you are trying to lose weight.
These 3 tips are ways to burn fat that should be easy to work into your routine.

Exercise to Burn Fat
November 10, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment
When you are trying to lose weight, you should exercise to burn fat. Getting (and staying) active is the key to long-term weight loss. While you should be limiting your calories, that alone won’t provide the quickest results.
When you exercise to burn fat, you are helping boost your metabolism throughout the day. The best type of exercise to burn fat is cardiovascular exercise. You want to get your heart and lungs pumping to help boost the fat burning in your body. Maintaining a steady effort over a 30-60 minute period is very effective.
When you are choosing an exercise to burn fat, don’t limit yourself to walking or running. You can do that a few days a week, but vary it with rollerblading, dancing, swimming, or any other cardiovascular exercise you enjoy (or think you might enjoy!)

Burn Fat, Not Muscle
November 7, 2008 by mrogers · Leave a Comment
When you’re trying to lose weight, you want to burn fat, not muscle. As you build muscle mass, your metabolism increases and it becomes easier to lose weight. When you’re burning fat, your muscles are working and growing stronger.
Exercise is the key to helping you burn fat, not muscle. Cardiovascular exercise is great for promoting fat loss, as your body burns calories while your lungs and heart get a good workout. Weight training is important to help support and strengthen your bones, but it will not do much on its own for weight loss.
To burn fat, not muscle, you should aim to perform cardiovascular exercise 5 days a week for 45 - 90 minutes. This will help your weight loss efforts tremendously!
