3 TIPS TO BURN FAT

We are close to the end of January. If you are on your P's & Q's....Then by now you should've started seeing some results and progress. If you haven't, then what are you waiting for? You do this to yourself...year after year. Stop it already and get on your way to achieving the dream body you so much deserve and improve your health! After all, we are only given one body to last our lifetime. So why not make it a body you love, since you're going to be dealing with it all your life?

Ok....Now, here are three of the most important things you need to be doing to burn fat:

1) Figure out your food intake.

You can't just "wing it". You can't "eyeball" your food intake, as research shows that even nutritionists underestimate how much food they are eating.

So find out exactly how many calories you are eating each day. If you aren't losing fat, it's a simple numbers game. You are eating too much. And if you know your numbers, its easy to make the necessary changes.

An awesome food intake software "I personally use (specially now that Im getting ready for NPC figure competition)" is FitDay:

Take control of your diet and fitness with this easy-to-use software.

As one Fit Day user said on the message boards...

"Ok, I input all my meals on Fitday yesterday, including 2 cheats that I didn't think were a big deal. One was a handful of trail mix and the other was a handful of goldfish crackers. (yes, I have kids

:-) ) I can't believe how just those two seemingly harmless snacks added up!! No wonder I have a muffin top! Yikes! So thanks for the tip about Fitday because that's going to keep me accountable."

Use it and lose it!

2) Use the right recovery pace in your interval training.

The biggest mistake people make in interval training is working too hard during the recovery period.

But if you work too hard in the recovery period, you end up turning your interval training back into a normal cardio session.

So lose the cardio mentality and be sure to alternate between periods of harder than normal exercise, and very easy exercise.

Use the recovery period to recover!

3) Plan your food intake on the weekend

Set aside time to plan, shop, and prepare several days worth of meals. Use a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to cook some chicken breasts, prepare some raw vegetables, wash your fruit, and pack up your nuts.

Plan ahead and you won't succumb to vending machine follies, or gas station sabotage on your diet.
