How To Maintain Muscle And Lose Fat

By James Steele


You may have been having trouble trying to burn fat but not muscle, we understand this. This pain and frustration is shared by millions of other people too. However, achieving that kind of goal does not need to be impossible or frustrating. You need the right information to see this through and your dedication plus commitment. If you cant stick to your exercise program then it is most likely because you do not enjoy this one. You will find that you do not mind exercising if you are having fun when doing it. When you see some results you will look forward to exercising again.

One of the best proven approaches of exercises, which is interval training, should be considered by those who are serious about getting rid of their fat. There are quite a few ways of doing this with a number of exercises. A jumping rope, treadmill or a bike (either stationary or real) could be used for example. When it comes to cardio, the approach of long distance running will work very well for fat loss. However, if you want to do it in the most effective manner, then the long distance approach is not what you want to do. We are distinguishing what is the 'most effective' way to lose fat. Most of us know about the consequences of no fat diets and other such similar diets. There are indeed people out there that think they must purge their diet of all fats. Fat loss will most likely not occur when doing this. As soon as the body knows there won't be any more fat coming in it will conserve fat. So part of the trick here is to make the body, or brain, think that there is no need at all for fat. It's kind of like the opposite of the effects of the starvation mechanism. When your body sees that the fat isn't needed it won't cling onto it. Instead fat will be burned off and the muscle won't be touched.

Taking out food with high fat content from their diet is something people think they should do. Going in the opposite direction and eating all the high fat food you like, we agree you cannot do this. To stop eating fat completely is a bad idea, you should just eat less high fat foods. The reason has to do with the starvation principle. Starving your body of something will cause you to store it next time you get some, when you would normally use it straight away. Totally eliminating all fats from your diet will make your body conserve and store fat even more.

Here is an old piece of known wisdom that has been around for a long time. But, surprisingly, not everybody knows this, and it will truly make a difference with your eating habits. Chew your food many times and eat quite slowly. There's a time lag of roughly twenty minutes between when you are full up and your brain is told that it is.

We've seen various ways of maintaining lean muscle mass whilst burning off fat with some scientific and common sense approaches. Every tip and suggestion works well, but learning to apply a bit of common sense is certainly wise.
