The Best Fat Burning Exercise Method

Many people are confused about whole fat loss topic. There are so many approaches to it due to high demand for fast, effective and healthy solution for losing weight. This information will not make you spend your time and energy with no results but will open, I believe, new frontiers for many people and give you results without any doubt.

You may be pleased to learn that fat loss in fact very simple process. Enhancing your metabolism is the key to fat loss. Exercise stimulates the metabolism, so does small, frequent meals. The other research-proven components shown to accelerate the metabolism and burn body fat are the ephedrine/caffeine based compounds. When combined in a formulation, they are shown by research to be completely safe and tremendously effective for fat loss.

Energy (calorie) balance will always determine whether you gain, lose, or maintain weight. Energy balance is the proportion of calories you take in versus the calories you burn up through metabolism and exercise. You lose fat only from a negative energy balance. One reason we have trouble losing fat is due to the body's ability to adjust energy balance by decreasing or increasing metabolic rate. In this article I provide you briefly with the most universally accepted information on effective fat loss from experts all over the world. As well as some of the quickest, most effective strategies for shedding body fat. It's all backed by research, so let's jump right in.

Many people are convinced they are destined to overweight by their own parents and grandparents. How much of a part do my genetics/genes really play in fat loss or gains? A recent round table discussion of the American College of Sports Medicine on the treatment and prevention of obesity concluded that while your genetic makeup does play a part in your ability to lose or hoard body fat. The simple, undeniable fact is that obesity has positively skyrocketed in recent years. This demonstrates very clearly that the environment we place ourselves in plays a much greater part in fat loss or gain. You can only blame your parents so much. Any attempt at fat loss must first address the lifestyle issue. Eliminate or control the factors contributing to your inability to lose fat.

Do you lose more fat by cutting calories or by doing more exercise? A recent study reported that the evidence slightly favors exercise. Especially because exercise elevates your metabolism while cutting calories slows your metabolic rate and reduces your body's ability to burn calories. However, this is only when a low fat, low calorie diet is followed.

A 13 week study on non-obese women showed that while one group restricted calories and remained active, they lost body fat. The group that maintained their normal eating pattern while incorporating an exercise regime, lost more fat. Cutting calories drastically, will always result in weight gain in the long run.

A lot of people tend to "panic diet" upon certain stimuli (to look good for a special occasion or after weighing themselves etc.) They want results like yesterday! However research shows; chronic dieting will get you nowhere, however a slight reduction in calories combined with more activity will work.

How many calories do you need to burn for fat loss? Basically, a lot more than people think. Some data has suggested about 1000 calories per week need to be expended to keep the metabolism ticking over and produce a "calorie defect". This causes utilization of body fat. However, recent research indicates this may not be sufficient to maintain reductions in body fat.

Researchers at Brown School of Medicine reviewed at least 16 studies on fat loss and concluded that the threshold of physical activity for maintenance of fat loss is 11.2 calories per kilo of body weight per day. This means about 2500 calories need to be burnt from exercise, every week. The data the researchers provided in this study shows that for most people at least 35 to 45 minutes of vigorous activity needs to be performed daily. However, Dr Wing, the head researcher, reported that successful fat losers usually expended around 2800 calories per week. Now these results are really important.

It substantiates the fact that to lose fat, you have got to burn a lot of calories. This is only achieved by working out relatively hard, virtually every day. If your idea of an aerobic workout is a leisurely stroll on the treadmill or tiny steps on a stair machine, sorry. This won't be enough to shift the flab simply because few calories are burnt during and after this form of "lazy" exercise.

Exercise for fat loss appears to be a lot like life. You only get out, what you put in. Many people choose low intensity "fat burning" exercise such as walking instead of harder activities such as running in the mistaken belief that they will burn more fat. According to the latest report on this in the ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal, this is not true. From research results they report one can easily understand that efficient resistance training program is best weight loss/fat burn activity one can indulge in. People do get best results from weight training if program they follow is complete and combined with proper diet program
