Fat Loss
Fat loss is achieved by fat-burning, this means using stored
fat as a fuel to support body function.
What most people desire when they say that they want to ‘lose weight)
involves burning more calories each day than are replaced by calories consumed
as food. In a large part, weight loss is achieved by meeting this goal, often
with the assistance of exercises that burn fat and exercises that build muscle
because muscle cells burn more calories at rest than do fat cells.
Muscle Fact: A kilo of muscle will
burn 50 to 100 calories a day at rest.
Fat Fact: A kilo of fat will use up only about 5 to
7 calories a day.
So, fat loss refers to two specific goals, build muscle & fat loss. In
order to achieve these goals a complete approach is always recommended for maximum
sustainable results. That is a sound nutritional program, precise supplementation
and an exercise program predominantly targeting body fat reductions.
Which type of exercise should I do?
Low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise tends to
burn fat, whereas high intensity aerobic exercise tends to burn glucose preferentially.
I’M NEW TO EXERCISE: If
you are new to exercise work towards doing low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise
for at least 20 to 30 minutes, 4 to 5 times each week.
I HAVE AN ESTABLISHED LEVEL OF PHYSICAL FITNESS:
If you have moved beyond a beginner's exercises level of fitness consider
a slightly higher intensity and longer duration to burn fat.
Even though high intensity exercise burns the body’s
stores of glucose rather than its stores of fat. With high intensity aerobic
exercise the total calories burned, irrespective of the source of these calories
glucose or fat, fat burning will be higher than the calories burned in moderate
intensity aerobic exercise. Confused? What this simply means is the harder you
exercise the more calories you will burn and that includes fat burning after
you’ve finished and when you’re recovering.

Consider your supplements
Consuming inadequate amounts of protein per day forces your body
to burn up muscle tissue for various functions including energy production.
In order for you to sustain healthy fat loss you must ensure that your muscles receive
the correct protein daily requirement according to your body weight and amount of times / intensity of training per week. Click
here to Calculate your daily protein requirements. Protein
may help to suppress your appetite and gives rise to the sensation of feeling full which
assists significantly during a reduction in total calories consumed per day
which often occurs while attempting to reduce body fat levels.
Some appropriate low carbohydrate & low fat protein
supplements for use in keeping your protein levels up include:
Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), ThermonX PRO, Whey
Protein Concentrate (WPC), Soy Protein Isolate and Egg
