How To Burn Fat Fast – 8 Tips To Burn Fat Quickly

Be consistent. That’s how to burn fat fast. You need to consistently do a combination of things that encourage constant fat burning.

If you follow the tips that I’m about to share you will burn fat constantly.

The first thing to drill in your head is...

Do NOT Skip Meals!

This is fat burning rule #1. You need to keep your metabolism fired up if you want to burn fat quickly. Eating every three to four hours is a must.

Get it fixed in your head - do not skip meals!

Eat Fat Burning Foods

It’s not enough to just eat – you need to eat the right kinds of foods.

Avoid foods high in fat, sodium, simple sugars and refined carbohydrates. You need to know how to read labels to avoid such foods.

Some foods are exceptions to the “high fat” rule – like some fish, nuts, and peanut butter. They’re full of “good” fats. Good fats don’t make you gain fat – unless you eat too much of it course.

Eat Fat Burning Meals

A fat burning meal combines a lean protein with a complex carbohydrate. Add a fibrous carbohydrate (vegetable) with at least three of your daily meals.

Here are two meal examples:

Example 1:
Oatmeal (complex carbohydrate)
Egg white omelet with one yolk (lean protein)

Example 2:
Pinto beans (complex carb)
Mixed green salad (fibrous carb)
Salmon (lean protein)

Lower Your Carbohydrates

No, no, no, I am not recommending a low carb diet. Without going into too much detail, carbs play an important role in your energy levels and muscle building efforts.

You can however burn fat fast by dropping carbs from your last two meals.

You’ll eat protein, a fibrous carbohydrate and a source of essential fats at your last two meals.

Example 1
spinach
chicken breast
½ tbsp of flaxseed oil

Example 2
broccoli
salmon

This is a simple technique and you can lose fat much faster by trying it.

Do a 45 To 60 Minute Workout 6 Days a Week

Four days a week, do a 30 to 40 minute weight training workout then do 20 to 30 minutes of cardio.

There are some conflicting views on whether you should do weights or cardio first. I say try both ways and do what works for you.

There may be days when you only have 20 or 25 minutes to exercise. On those days you just need to amp up your intensity to make the most of your time.

Stay Off Machines

Lifting free weights recruits more muscle fiber. The more muscles you recruit when you exercise the more calories you burn.

You'll also build muscle faster. Since muscle burns fat, you’ll burn fat faster.

Free weights include barbells, dumbbells, resistance bands or anything else not attached to a machine.

Do Multi Joint Exercises

Two types of weight training are isolation and compound movements. Stick to mostly compound exercises because they recruit more muscles. This has three benefits:

1. You build muscle faster. That means you’ll burn fat faster.
2. You strengthen your body faster.
3. You burn more calories during your workout and for hours afterwards.

Some examples of compound exercises are

  • squats
  • deadlifts
  • lunges
  • push ups
  • bench presses
  • shoulder presses
  • bent over rows
  • upright rows
You can find lots more by doing a Google search.

Use A Fat Burner (Optional)

You have to be careful these days with what you recommend, so I'm going to tip toe with some caution here…

Many fitness experts say fat burners don’t work.

Garbage. The truth is that they do work for some people, but not for everyone.

If you’re not one of the many people who drink coffee all day everyday, a supplement containing caffeine may help you burn fat faster.

It's not guaranteed to work for you, but studies have shown that caffeine can help increase metabolism and encourage fat release.

If you decide to try a caffeine supplement, consult with your doctor first if you have any conditions or if you’re on any medications.

Also follow these common sense rules:

  • study the ingredients,
  • follow the instructions,
  • start with a small dose to assess your tolerance,
  • don’t take them every single day,
  • don’t overdose!

Don’t use caffeine pills for more than about 4 weeks. Lay off of them for 2 to 4 weeks and allow your body’s natural energy systems to restore.

Do some research and look for reviews before you buy any fat loss supplements.
