Best Ways to Lose Body Fat

Check out some of the best ways to lose body fat with these healthy weight loss tips. You need to eat the right foods in the right amount and at the right time and of course do some exercise to burn off the food you have just eaten. Our body is a fined tuned machine that needs to be regularly maintained.

The older we get the easier it is to gain body fat, our metabolism changes and our lifestyle changes and we have to change our eating and exercise habits along the way. Most of us slowly increase our weight a few ounzes a month and it becomes pounds over the the years so, we need to keep our eye on it regularly.

Your body metabolism is so important, I can stress that enough, do you know how to find out what your BMI is?

Make sure you eat all the colors of the rainbow as the oranges and yellow vegetables like carrots, squash and sweet potatoes contain Vitamin A's. Green vegetables like brussel sprouts, broccoli and so many benefits.

My trainer always says that fat loss starts in the kitchen, and he says that for proper body fat loss you should eat 5-6 small meals spaced about 2-3 hours apart. He advocated lower carbs and if you must have carbs try to have them in the morning.

A typical day  for my diet would look like.

Breakfast: Eggs with smoked fish, club soda
Snack: Handful of walnuts
Lunch: Handful of olives, walnuts, club soda
Snack: 1 Handroll made of protein rich shrimp, salmon and avocado. No rice.
Dinner: Grilled fish with mixed veggies
Snack: acai shake with whey protein powder

While I have not lost a lot of weight yet per say, 6 lb in 2 weeks, I am starting to feel my clothes getting loser and that is a great feeling. With some flexing I am even starting to see early signs of a 6 pack.
