5 Great Tips For Fat Loss

By Synergy Clubs™ Mentor Team

1 – Resistance train

Resistance train

You should resistance train 3-4 times a week. Resistance training is superior to cardio training when it comes to fat loss. Why? More energy used DURING the workout, and elevated metabolism for longer AFTER the workout (up to 72 hours!). It also increases insulin sensitivity and therefore improves your ability to store energy in the right places e.g. in the muscle cells, not the fat cells.

2 – Increase your protein intake
This is fundamental to fat loss as it elevates metabolism, keeps hunger at bay much longer than fats and carbohydrates and repairs the body after exercise. Quite simply, the body has to spend more energy to digest protein and the body also finds it more difficult to store protein as fat, unlike with carbohydrates. Starting the day with a protein meal such as 3 poached eggs, green leaves (watercress for example) and some nuts, is far better for you in terms of health and fat loss efforts, compared to a bowl of cereal or toast.

3 – Eat well
Remove foods your body does not need (e.g. bad carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, rice, cereals, fruit juice and of course sweets). These foods are fattening due to their affect on the hormone insulin. Explanation:
Bad carbohydrates release too much insulin.
Insulin causes carbohydrates to be stored as fat.
Good carbohydrates (fruits and vegetables) have LESS of an impact on how much insulin is released by the body, and improve health. You need to increase your good carbohydrates. Vegetables, particularly green vegetables such as broccoli, watercress, brussels sprouts and green beans have good, fat burning nutrients.

4 – Drink water, and plenty of it
Drinking 3-4 litres of water per day will assist in fat loss efforts, as it helps flush out toxins that are released from fat. Try squeezing a lemon or lime into the water to further increase health. Vitamin C in these fruits help build your immune system. Fruit juices and fizzy drinks INCREASE fat storage – not good!

5 – Good fats
Consuming only 3g of Omega3 per day will increase fat burning and improve the overall health of the body. In fact, you should make an effort to increase the ‘good fats’ you eat, such as avocados, olive oil and nuts. People who eat nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans etc.) tend to have LOWER BMI compared to those who don’t.
