Losing weight it a stated goal for many individuals. This is somewhat vague however, and while it is a positive start, it is not goal directed. We will be looking at the more specific goal of losing fat. Not many people wish to lose muscle mass (although there are some). The general population of health conscious individuals is interested in losing fat! Let’s take a look at 5 tips to lose fat quickly…
1) Say goodbye to soda 
This may seem like a no-brainer. Soda has sugar and no nutritional value so ditch it. Here is the twist, even if you drink diet soda you need to stop. Instead, drink fresh water with lemon and herbal teas. This will detoxify your body and help drop pounds. A recent study demonstrated that individuals consuming diet soda increased their body fat versus individuals who drank soda with sugar!
2) Go to bed hungry
Everyone remembers being sent to bed without dinner as a child. I am not suggesting you fall into bed half starved and unable to rest, but be a little bit hungry. Experts vary on what time you should not eat after (7pm, 8 pm, etc) but the general message is the same. Eat a light dinner and don’t binge before bed. If you find yourself extremely hungry nearing bed time have 15 raw almonds and a large glass of water. This should tide you over until the next day.
3) Cut back on starch
Whole grain starches and starchy vegetables have long since been considered health wise choices. They are, as an alternative to their processed and refined counterparts. This does not mean you should load up on brown rice and oatmeal. They are healthy choices in moderation, but if you over eat starches you will also load up on belly fat.
4) Cardio in the AM
Any fitness expert will tell you to weight train for fat loss and he or she will be 100% correct. That does not mean that you should eliminate cardio. Doing 15 minutes of moderate cardio exercise in the morning before you eat can help to blast through unwanted fat. Just don’t skimp out on your strength training regime because that will help you with your long term fat loss goals.
5) Raw in the PM
Introduce raw vegetables into your last meal and as an evening snack to increase your fat burning. Grape tomatoes and bell peppers are a sweet and crunchy start. Add in new ones every week until you are trying a plethora of raw goodness.
