Fat loss Program

A fat loss program that works every time is to eat less calories than what you burn. If you do this, you will lose fat! The problem is that people seem to make this more complicated than they need to. If a person uses these categories, he or she will lose a minimum of 2 pounds of fat per week.

Some categories are here to help maximize your fat loss.

Category 1: Calories in the kitchen. Place all food in the kitchen. Eating only in a designated area such as the kitchen or dining room will help you to stop eating snacks while watching TV or relaxing in another part of the house.

Category 2: Eat at least four to five small meals daily. Eating meals and planned snacks will stabilize your insulin levels and mobilize body fat to be burned during your exercise sessions.

Category 3: Eat less. By putting less food on your plate, you remove the temptation to overeat. Put one bite from your plate back into the serving dish before you sit down to eat.

Category 4: Eat two morsels of food with proper chewing, then stop eating before the third bite and put your fork down. If you consume your meal in less than twenty minutes, your brain does not have a chance to get the message that you are being adequately nourished and you will feel hungry and frustrated. By eating slowly, you are sending a signal to the hypothalamus, the brain’s thermostat, that food is in your system.

Category 5: When you eat is also important. Never eat anything heavy later than eight o’clock because eating late does not allow your body time to utilize the calories. If you are hungry after eight, I suggest that you mix a tablespoon of whey protein powder into juice or water to increase your metabolic rate.

Category 6: No junk food between. Eating junk food calories between meals can add excess fat. Only eat appropriate snacks between meals.

Category 7: It is always best not to eat when under any type of stress, since you are not aware of what or of how much you are consuming when distracted by a stressor. Many people also eat the wrong types of foods—comfort foods such as desserts and pizza—when stressed.

Category 8: Obtaining seven to eight hours of sleep per night is a very important part of any successful nutritional or stress-reduction program. Night is your body’s time for recuperation. Your kidneys also function best in a prone position. Make sure you are sound asleep before midnight to achieve the deep REM sleep state that truly relaxes your body and allows it to recuperate.

Category 9: To give you the proper hydration level to keep your kidneys and your body’s internal insulatory thermostat working properly so that you do not hoard fat, you should drink one-half to one ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. Water is one of your greatest allies in the business of weight loss.

Category 10:You need to exercise in your gender appropriate fat-burning zone on a regular basis.

Category 11: Brushing your teeth after each meal provides a sense of closure, changes the chemistry in your mouth, and reduces the urge to go back to the table and overeat.

Category 12: Use visualization to see yourself achieving your fat-loss goals.
