Fat Burning In A Nutshell

By Ricardo Daryans

At any time of year, we can use every last tip to help avoid holiday weight gain. Here you will find some fat loss tips.

1) No liquid calories (with the exception of a post-workout drink).

Get rid of all the juices, the sodas, and the sports drinks. Liquid sugar is the last thing you need when you are trying to lose fat.

You must also limit your alcohol intake - especially if you are adding mix to drinks...that is a double calorie bomb! A single "Jackand Coke" is over 200 calories (100 calories from booze and 100 calories from mix).

2) Fast food...never again

Fast food restaurants? You should call them FAT food restaurants, because that's what you will find there instead of the healthy food you need.

And in order to profit while giving you cheap, quick, and easy to prepare foods, the quality of the food ingredients will be poor-especially the protein.

The politically-incorrect truth is that it's going to take time and effort to eat properly. You will have to plan, shop, and prepare healthy meals. You will have to spend time cleaning, cutting, and cooking your food. That's the truth.

But believe me, it will taste so much better than fast food, and healthy eating will make you more alert. Eating fast food will make you feel terrible, and will make you want to have an afternoon nap at your desk.

In order to be healthier than the previous day all you have to do is one small improvement to your nutrition everyday for the rest of your life.

3) Eat more fruits and vegetables.

The goal is to eat up to 10 servings per day. If you are eating 2 servings per day, then go up to 4 servings per day by the end of the week. Then go up to 5 servings per day.

Stick with fiber-rich fruits and vegetables - organic if possible.

You can try with nuts, but choose natural or dry-roasted nuts instead of roasted in oils nuts. The last ones are a possible source of trans fats.

Don't worry...this small amount of nuts won't make you fat, but will fill you up and help you lose weight.

5) Exercise.

Make sure the workouts are efficient and effective. If you want to make it easy for you to follow, stick with the Turbulence Training fat burning workout system.

It doesn't matter if you train in the morning before or after breakfast, or at night before or after dinner, or at 1pm on days when the moon is in line with Saturn...don't worry about the details, just train consistently.

6) EXTRA TIP: After anytime you eat a big meal, the best you can do is to go for a walk any movement is better than sitting around watching the TV, and it will help you in the fat burning process and to control your triglycerides and cholesterol.
