So you want to know how to burn fat fast do you? Well you have come to the right place. I will help you as much as I can to help you burn the fat. I have done lots of research on studies, while also experimenting with different types of training (which I will share with you). The funny thing is though that burning fat comes down to one simple rule.

This simple rule is natural law and you cannot burn fat without applying it. This is: In order to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you consume. Which basically means that you have to burn of more calories through exercise and normal metabolic functions (like breathing). Than you eat or drink. In a nutshell, it all comes down to calories in versus calories out.

Now, do not get me wrong, there are some grey areas when you start to consider hormone manipulation and like. But if you do not follow the rule above yo will not be burning fat any time soon.

Burn Fat Fast

So how do you actually go about burning fat fast? The old advice which is thrown around still to exercise more and eat less. Is quite dated and frankly terrible advice. This is a bit like trying to find a town by following the directions of someone who just pointed towards it. You know the general area, but haven't a clue how to actually get there.

For starters you need to know your metabolic rate. Which is the rate in which you body burns calories during normal functions such as breathing and keeping your heart pumping. This metabolic rate lets you know how many calories you need each day to survive and maintain your current weight. The average for women is 2000 and 2500 for men. These are only averages though and vary depending on height, weight, age etc.

When you know your calorie maintenance level you finally have a figure to work with. So if you eat less than your calorie maintenance level you will burn body fat. Start exercising to burn of some extra calories and you will burn fat fast. Get the idea?

Burning Fat Fast With Calorie Cycling

Okay, now lets have a look at how to burn the fat fast. The problem when trying to burn fat fast is the dreaded starvation mode. This is when your body slows down it's metabolic rate when you diet for too long. This is a survival mechanism because your body thinks it is going through a famine.

You want to avoid this because it makes it very hard to lose weight when this happens. If you have every gone on a diet and stop losing weight after a while no matter what you did. Chances are your body went into starvation mode. So who do you avoid this to burn body fat fast? Simple; use calorie cycling.

Calorie cycling is where you eat less calories some days, then higher calories on others to prevent the starvation mode. It is one of the most effective and proven ways of burning fat fast. It is used by a lot of the top figure and fitness models!

The starvation mode kicks in after 3 1/2 days of dieting. Therefore we use the calorie cycling method to eat for 3 days at 500 calories below your calorie maintenance level. Then every fourth day you eat just above your calorie maintenance level. This stops your body going into starvation mode and keeps your metabolism running high.

Burning Fat With Food

We are now coming to the last piece of the puzzle for burning fat fast. You now know that you have to know you calorie maintenance level, while using the calorie cycling method to burn fat fast. To complete all of this, you have to ensure you are eating the right amount of food. Ignore this rule and you will not be burning fat any time soon

Basically you have to start counting calories to know how many you are consuming. This means you have to see how many calories is in the food and drink you are taking in. The calorie amounts are usually located on the nutritional facts on the packaging of food. These days a lot of companies put the calorie amounts of the front as well, to make it easier for you.

Keeping a food diary and recording all the calories you are eating is usually the best way to record what you are eating. There are plenty of hand-held or online calorie counters available to use, to makes things easier for you. It can be a pain to do this, but it almost guarantees that you will burn fat fast.

If you do not want to count calories, weigh food and calculate everything you eat. You can use a system that takes away all the hard work for you. It also has calorie cycling built into it, plus you do not need to know you metabolic rate.
