FAT LOSS PLAN.

Fat loss plans are generally first aid tools to achieve loss of body fat. There are various measures that one needs to take to ensure that you actually lose fat - one of the measures that you need to take is getting involved in intensive exercises lasting about an hour every week. Exercise is important to any fat loss program; exercise movements are classified either as isolation movements or compound movements. Exhaustive training involving these two muscle movements (compound and isolation) facilitates more calorie utilization as compared with other forms of conventional exercise. The result of such training is an overloaded muscle which is very important for muscle development.

Secondly one should undertake aerobic classes only when you are through with intense weight training (not before!!!) This sequence maximizes your fat loss capabilities. Were the sequence to be reversed, the intended results would not be achieved (i.e. you wouldn't lose much weight at all). This is because the body would burn up sugar leaving minimal quantities for intense workouts thereby forcing the body to breakdown muscle to obtain the necessary fuel for the exercise. This would be counterproductive to the overall goal of shedding unwanted fat.

While training is a basic requirement for any fat loss plan, one should avoid training too long. An over extended duration in training is counterproductive - moderation is highly recommended. The training session should last just over an hour, allowing the body to fully recover between workouts. With such precautions being taken one can reap maximum benefits from the training and avoid injuries like muscle damage.

There is no fat loss program that can work if you don't watch what you eat. Nutrition is of utmost importance in a fat loss program. One should avoid sugars due to the fact that they destabilize the pancreatic hormones - they also trigger acute hunger pangs which may lead one to overeat (also known as "binge" eating). Refined carbohydrates are also to be avoided as they do not add any real value to the body.

One should also avoid the traditional two to three heavy meals in a day. It is advisable to have lighter meals but to eat more frequently (4-5 meals is recommended). One should eat after every three hours to increase the metabolism in the body which aids in the breaking down of fats. Nutritious meals consisting of lean protein and vegetable fibers should be consumed to accelerate the process of fat loss.

Most fat loss plans advise drinking extra water when trying to lose weight - this is excellent advice! It is said that 70% of a human body is actually water. It is recommended that you should always have a bottle of water by your side. Perspiration is basically loss of water from the body -water is therefore of grave importance to anyone engaged in a fat loss program. Stay hydrated!!!
