An effective and scientifically proven fat loss plan is one, which incorporates a unique system of eating and exercising. This plan is different from most other methods you may have tried before. First, you may need to increase your metabolism rate. You need to eat five or six small meals a day instead of three large ones. By eating smaller portions, your belly will soon reduce in size and additionally, you will not feel hungry. However, take note that not all foods are good. Foods to avoid are processed ones filled with considerable amounts of fat, sugar, salt and other man-made chemicals. These also include white foodstuffs such as bread, pasta and deserts. Good healthy foods to include are oatmeal, olive oil and coconut oil. Remember to drink plenty of water and severely reduce salt consumption. Next, interval training exercises rapidly burn fats both during the exercise and for at least 48 hours afterwards. These explosive types of workouts are performed in short bursts. For example, if you are running, sprint for 20 seconds followed by 30 seconds of walking and then repeat this process. Perform this for about 15 to 20 minutes twice to thrice a week for positive results. Other successful fat busting cardiovascular exercises include swimming, biking, and so on. LEAN MUSCLE Building toned, lean muscle is important for your fat burning success. A pound of lean muscle can burn an extra 15 calories per day. This is one of the most important reasons to strength train while trying to lose fat — not to burn calories, but to prevent the loss of lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle tissue you have, the more efficient is your fat burning system. Remember to include a good source of protein in your diet to repair, build or maintain your muscle mass. Last, you should also perform abdominal exercises. Although some fitness experts claim there is no need for abdominal exercises for a slimmer tummy, I strongly believe it will speed up the rate of you getting them visibly lean. The better ones are crunches, leg raises, squats and so on. For successful and sustainable results, aim to work your abs three to four times per week but don’t push it!
