Weight Loss: Best Way To Lose Body Fat Permanently

This is your best way to lose body fat permanently

Why is it that none of the popular weight loss diets seem to work for you? You lose a few pounds quickly and feel great but no matter what you do the fat always comes back with a vengeance. The plain fact of it is that the popular lose weight fast diets simply don't work in the long term.

Possibly the only reliable way to lose body fat and keep it off permanently is to make changes to your lifestyle. This is a fact that you may not want to hear but it's true, there is no magic fix to your weight problem. You have to take responsibility for your life and your future body shape by making adjustments to the things you eat, how often you eat them and of course, your exercise levels.

The best way to burn calories

To lose fat you must burn more calories than you consume. That's a simple fact that lies at the heart of any diet or weight loss program. So why not just stop eating for a while? That will drop your body fat and weight quicker than anything but it won't do you much good in the long term because your body will start to work against you to ensure that you put that weight and more back on as soon as you start eating again. Starving yourself will also damage your body so please don't try that diet.

If you reduce your calorie intake too much then your body tries to compensate by lowering your metabolism to make the calories you are consuming go further. Your body also starts to burn not only your unwanted fat but also your lean muscle and other organs to give you the energy you need to keep going while you're not eating enough calories. Together with the great appetite you'll get from doing this you are almost guaranteed to put the weight back on super fast when you start eating again.

To avoid burning off your muscle instead of fat you should aim to lose weight slowly. A weight loss of about 1 to 2 pounds a week is a good target. You can do this by using a combination of the following:

• Lowering your daily calorie intake by a small amount
• Eat a lot of small meals throughout the day.
• Replace some of the fat and carbohydrate in your meals with lean protein
• Do more regular exercise

Losing weight slowly like this is quite probably the best way to lose body fat permanently but you have to realise that it's not a quick fix. You must change your lifestyle to enable you to continue to eat sensibly and exercise regularly for life. It's a small price to pay for looking great, feeling fantastic and enjoying a longer life expectancy.
