How To Burn Fat

March 27, 2024

It may sound strange, but working out to burn fat can be a fairly straight forward process. Put simply, you create a gap in your body’s calorie supply, and then maintain or increase your activity level, so your body has no choice but to burn its fat reserves to keep going.

We’ve found the best way to create that calorie gap is with a simple day of fasting; stick to tea and water for no more than a day, and your body will notice this gap. Its first step is to make you hungry, but don’t give in—because this gap is where you lose weight.

Eat Right

When it’s time to eat, you need a new game plan. You look at the day ahead and match the foods you eat with the energy levels you expect. Life is a fluid and dynamic process, and so is your body, so it makes sense to fuel it accordingly.

When losing weight, your body needs protein as building blocks to give you strength, and longer-term fuel from carbs to keep you going throughout the day. Since you want to lose weight, you want more protein, with carbs at a bare minimum to make sure your body keeps using its fat reserves.

Get Your Cardio In Gear

Now that you’ve armed your body with building blocks and just the right long-term energy for the day, you can put it to work. Cardio is important because it helps you work out longer and harder. The longer you can work, the more you deplete your fat reserves, and the faster your weight loss.

Work Smart

It’s important to set yourself up for success. Build your way up there with simple and repetitive movements you can control from a static position. Think water rowing machine in a gym, instead of jumping immediately into a 5AM jog. When you can consistently put in 30 minutes on a rowing machine, you’re ready for that 5AM jog, and by that time, you’re more than prepared to help your body burn through that calorie gap.
