Have you stagnated in your fat loss? Are you at the gym a few times a week doing your cardio and feeling like you are eating the right things but still having no success in losing weight and burning fat?
If so don't you think it is time to change things up a little? What if you could make tremendous strides towards your goals in just one month?
Why is it that you seem to have no success? If you have been doing the same exercise program (cardio or weight training) with the same intensity at the same calorie level and you are seeing little if no results for a year or more then you have to ask yourself the question "Why would you expect anything to change this year?" If you continue to do the same things you will get the same results.
A fat burning program must be dynamic in nature. Nutrition programs must be constantly updated; calories must be recalculated. Calories may need to be increased at certain parts of your program and decreased during other parts of your fat loss program.
I know one thing that has always helped over the year whether I was younger and trying to pack on the muscle or older and trying to burn the fat is charting my progress. I am more visual by nature I guess. But it gave me specific goals to shoot for and encouraged me as I made progress toward those goals. I am a firm believer that you need to set goals to succeed. I think the same thing holds true in your diet program.
Specifically, when we are talking about burning fat you need to keep track of your body composition. By this I mean measuring your muscle and fat and creating a ratio between the two. You see we want to lose weight but we want to make sure we are losing fat and not losing muscle.
Busting through a weight loss plateau is not that difficult. In fact it is rather simple in theory. However, it takes a lot of discipline. If you are stuck then you either need to cut your calories or increase your activity level. I have always been a fan of increasing my activity level since I am not a big fan of cutting out food. You see, you can't cut your calorie intake too low because if you do your body will go into a defensive mode and try to store fat. This is obviously self defeating.
This may mean you need to increase your cardio that you do during the week. I am not a huge fan of cardio so I prefer to due cardio like exercises (like bodyweight exercises) that deliver the same effect. Maybe you could add one extra session for the week. If you have plateaued this should give you a kickstart. If it begins to work you can stay with it for awhile until you run into another wall. At that point you will have to make another alteration.
Like a said earlier, fat loss and weight loss require a dynamic program to be successful. The problem with a lot of fat burning programs is that they are too static. You have to eat a certain number of calories, workout for 3 days a week and do so for 45 minutes. You are not supposed to mess with the formula. Unfortunately, real life weight loss and fat loss doesn't happen this way.
You see your body is intelligent. It has the ability to adapt to the environment that it finds itself in. So in other words you body will adapt to your workout program. At some point in the future you will need to shake things up or you will plateau.
If you need a program that can help you bust through plateaus in your fat loss program then you may want to look into Burn the Fat, Feed The Muscle. It has everything I have talked about as being necessary to succeed.
You can change your body starting today. Don't delay and find yourself wandering around the internet looking for answers six months from now. Check out the program. I think it may be just what you are looking for.
