Eight Healthy Ways to Burn Fat and Build Muscle

Eight Healthy Ways to Burn Fat and Build Muscle

admin   March 29, 2017   No comments:

There are many ways to be thin and muscular, but in order to be healthy as well, a balanced diet and exercise are essential. Many people believe that if they eat very little, they will burn more fat. This however is not true, when you don't eat enough your metabolism slows down, because your body thinks you're starving and it needs to make the most out of the fat that is already stored in it. Another thing that can happen if you don't eat enough is you can get gastritis. Gastritis is an irritation of the lining of the stomach, which can result in an ulcer and ultimately stomach cancer if it is not taken care of. Protein and Carbs are also essential if you wish to burn fat and build muscle. So now that we have covered the basics let's take a look a few tips:

1) Drink at least four cups of green tea a day (this does not count toward your minimum water consumption requirements which is about half a gallon a day). Green tea accelerates your metabolism, which in turn helps you burn more fat.

2) Do not exercise every single day, because your body needs time to recover and build muscle.

3) Exercise. To build muscle you must life weights. Men should use higher intensity and do less repetitions and women should use less intensity and do more repetitions. Cardio exercise (running, jogging, etc.) is important, but after 30 minutes you will start to burn muscle rather that fat. So limit your self to 30 minutes a day.

4) Sleep. In order for your whole body to function properly you need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep. You should not consume food 3 to 4 hours prior to going to bed, because if you do your body will still be partially awake while it is digesting the food. You won't wake up refreshed and ready for your day if you do not follow this advice.

5) Protein Supplements. Protein helps you build muscle. The best time to take your protein supplement is right after working out.

6) Carbs. To avoid feeling light headed or dizzy, it is necessary to consume carbs before a workout. A granola bar, or slice of bread with peanut butter will do.

7) Do not use white sugar, bread, pasta, or rice. Wheat pasta, wheat rice, brown sugar and brown rice are acceptable, but should still be used in moderation. Wheat flour tortillas are also acceptable in small quantities.

8) Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. You can eat them as much as you want with a few exceptions. Such fruits and vegetables as bananas and potatoes are healthy, but should be consumed in moderation to avoid weight gain.

Note: As you build muscle, your weight will increase, so don't pay so much attention to the scale. The weight you will gain will be pure muscle, not fat.

The wonderful thing about, combining exercise and a healthy diet, is that once you start building muscle, the muscle will in turn burn more fat! Follow the healthy diet and exercise tips above and soon you will be on your way to a thinner and more toned you!

5 Simple Tips to Healthier Eating

5 Simple Tips to Healthier Eating

wijaya   July 28, 2010   5 comments:

It seems there's always a new diet treatment hitting the market, or talk of a magic pill that will eliminate fat. Whether you choose to partake in any of these new treatments or not, it's wise to remember the basics of healthy eating.
Just what is "healthy eating?" Is it only fruits and vegetables? Is it never eating sugar? It is eating only organic foods? Well, to some people, that is healthy eating. But, for the purposes of this article, when I refer to healthy eating I'm referring to balancing the food you eat to stay healthy. By keeping your diet balanced, you'll find you are giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay strong. This in turn gives you energy and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
What are some basic tips for healthy eating?
1. Don't skip any meals
That might sound odd to some people who believe you can only lose weight when you eat less. But, in fact, skipping meals is not healthy, and can actually keep you from maintaining your desired weight. Why? Well, one reason is that your metabolism increases when you eat. And, when the metabolism is increased, you burn more energy. Eating 3 meals with snacks in between is the ideal way to maintain both energy and a healthy weight. What's that, you say, a snack in between? That's right; a snack in between smaller meals is actually good for you. First, it can help you not feel so hungry at meals. And, when you don't feel so hungry at meals, you tend not to eat as much. And, second, eating 5 smaller meals a day helps prevent the large spikes and drops in your blood sugar associated with fewer meals a day.
2. Chew slowly
This advice may seem a bit corny, but it makes sense. When you wolf down your food you aren't giving your brain time to register when you’re full, which takes about 20 minutes. By the time you finally get the signal it's too late and you've eaten far more than you needed to. Therefore, if you chew your food slowly it slows down your eating.
3. Learn how to prepare foods
Instead of deep frying, try grilling, stir frying, microwaving, baking, boiling and, in the case of vegetables - raw. And, if you really insist on using butter for cooking, try a butter substitute. I use a yogurt butter which is half the fat of regular butter, but tastes the same as real butter. If you use butter to add flavor to food, try something else for a change, like lemon, vinegar or dried herbs and spices. Before you eat any type of meat, be sure to trim it of fat and skin.
4. Avoid alot of sugar
If you can eliminate sugar, good for you, but, if you can't, at least cut down. Drinks that contain sugar are a major source of empty calories. If you plan to drink sugary drinks, don't go overboard - limit yourself to one a day.
5. Skip the diet foods
If you follow healthy eating guidelines, there's really no need to buy prepared diet foods. A good number of these foods contain chemicals and additives that can be counterproductive to a healthy diet. A healthy portion of "real" food beats a heaping of prepared diet food any day, and doesn't leave you feeling deprived.
Eating healthier doesn't have to be difficult. The key is to be mindful of what and how you’re eating. Noticing is the first step in changing behavior
