There are a lot of overweight people out there. Statistics say approximately 63% of Americans weigh too much and that number is only for adults. It is even higher if you add in kids and teenagers. That is not good news.

When you are obese or overweight you are more susceptible to health issues like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, becoming diabetic as well as possibly having a heart attack.  If you are part of the group that is overweight, you want to find a way to lose the weight and lose it fast.

Here are the top 5 safe and effective fat burning tips that I know about.

Fat Burning Tip #1

Eat more. I know it sounds silly but eating more meals a day, 4 to 6 of them does work.  Eating more often speeds up your metabolism and a faster metabolism burns more fat and calories.

On the other hand if you eat very few meals a day or really decrease your daily calories your body goes into starvation mode and will start hoarding energy.  This makes your metabolism slow down and makes weight loss much harder.

Fat Burning Tip #2

Eat breakfast. I’m sure you heard that from your Mom and she was right in saying the most important meal of the day is breakfast.

It gets your metabolism going and when you don’t eat breakfast, or any meal of the day, your metabolism slows down and it will be more difficult to burn fat.

Fat Burning Tip #3

You need to pay attention to what you eat and keep your portions small.  You must burn off more calories than you eat to lose fat.

You need to eat reasonable amounts of food and include lots of fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fruits.  Beans, collard green, legumes and carrots are perfect examples of foods that will help in losing fat.

Fat Burning Tip #4

At least 3 times a week you need to do aerobic exercises or cardio such as biking, swimming, running or walking, etc.  Aerobic exercise will burn calories and fats and it increases your metabolism.

You need to do at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercises to get the best fat burning benefits.

Alternatively you can do interval training.  This type of training involves doing a high intensity activity with periods of rest or low activity.  Doing this will increase your aeorbic capacity and burn more calories.

Fat Burning Tip #5

Build more muscles by performing resistance training.  Aerobic exercise and diet will burn calories but for more fat burning you need to increase your muscle mass.

Lean muscles require fuel and if you have more muscle mass, your basal metabolic rate will increase.  Your body will burn off more calories even when you are resting.
