Burn Body Fat Fast
January 12, 2010
I get asked this question all of the time….”How do I burn body fat fast?” I thought that I would share with you my secret regarding my nutrition and my workouts and how I go about leaning out for competitions, photo shoots, and burning fat fast.
In my opinion, to burn body fat fast, you must be following a great nutrition program. I would recommend eating 5-6 small meals a day with a lean protein serving at every meal and watch your carbohydrate intake. I also do use supplements as I feel this add to my success over time. Make sure that you do your research on which supplements that you choose to use and their effectiveness and safety.
Regarding your workouts, I would do two 30 minute sessions a day (30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training) as opposed to doing an hour of cardio each day. While the calories you burn during the exercise bouts (2 sessions at 1/2 an hour or 1 session at 1 hour) will be about the same, you will burn roughly twice the calories in the post exercise period by breaking up your workout into two sessions. My personal favorite is incorporating some type of interval training into at least one of your 30 minute sessions and then do weight training into the other session. I have found much success in burning body fat fast by following this workout program and incorporating a low carb, high protein nutrition plan.
