Low-Carbohydrate Diet

Now for the controversial diet plan, the low-carb diet! It typically allows only 5% to 10% of carb to be consumed. The Atkins diet is probably one of the most well known low-carb diet.

 

The recommended intake of carb is 57%, protein is 13% while fat is 30% of your total daily calories intake. Cutting back on carb means you have to take in more protein or fat (or even both). Going with this diet typically means you restrict on foods high in carbohydrate which also means you will lose out on some vital vitamins that your body requires.

 

Results can be very positive in just a few weeks for low-carb diet (up to approx 20kg in a month) but in the long run, the weight loss is almost the same as low-fat diet. Comparing against low-fat diet, low-carb diet can reduce almost the same amount weight but loses out big time in fat burning.

 

It is important to consult a doctor before commencing on this diet. I will personally not recommend this as carbohydrate plays a huge part in fuelling our brain, nerves and lungs. As our goal is still to burn off the fats rather than reducing the weight, I will recommend either the low-calorie diet or the low-fat diet instead.

 

Some people will choose to eat according to the recommended intake while taking note of the types of carbs and fats they consume (rather than saturated fats, substitute with nonsaturated fats). This way, you can stay healthy and also burn that extra kilo of fat away. Next, I will start to share about hawker food and the amount of fats and calories they contain so stay tuned to FatsOff!!!

Low-Fat Diet

And here is the diet that everyone is waiting for! Low-fat diet! Comparing low-fat diet and low-calorie diet, the low-fat diet controls cholesterol more, it also contains less foods from animal sources.

 

A low-fat diet should generally contain about 20% to 30% of calories from fat. You should also try to get healthy variety of fat (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) while also taking in foods low in saturated fat.

 

So now, what kind of food falls under polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and foods low in saturated fat?

 

Polyunsaturated fat

Corn, sunflower seeds, walnut, sesame seeds, soybeans, tuna, sardine

 

Monounsaturated fat

Olive oil, peanut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, whole grain wheat, oatmeal, cereal

 

Low in saturated fat

Yogurt, lean meats, fish, poultry

All in all, not only the food chosen are important, the cooking method is important too. Try to look out for items that are non-fat or low-fat when you buy your groceries if you are on this diet.

The next diet I'll talk about is the Low-Carbohydrate Diet. Till next time! Cya!

Low-Calorie Diet

There are so many diet plans out there and its getting confusing. But fear not, I'll be talking about the different kinds of common diet plans here to give my readers a better understanding on each of them. And yes, I promise, no big medical terms!

Low-Calorie Diet

As I've mentioned earlier, calorie is the unit of measurement for energy and thus a low-calorie diet simply means low-energy diet. The objective is to make your body use the energy stored in fats by creating energy deficit.

What do I mean by that? Simple, if you've visited my page about RMR & TDEE Calculation, you would've know how much calories you need to consume per day to stay in shape. For example, if your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is 1450 kcal per day, by consuming only 1300 kcal, you are creating a energy deficit of 150 kcal.

So the burning question: What should you eat if you follow this diet plan?
And since this diet is called the low-calorie diet, it essentially means anything that has a low calorie count. Some examples are fresh fruits, vegetables, whole-grain breads, yogurt, lean meats, poultry, fish (prepared using cooking methods like baked, boiled, roasted).

In order to get your weight down, you need to consume less calories than you use them. But it is dangerous to consume way too little calories. Instead of losing fats, you store them. Your body breaks down and you lose muscle which brings your metabolism rate down.

To prevent that from happening, make sure you do not consume the calories below your resting metabolism rate (RMR) as that is the minimum your body needs to function. Do not go lower than this!

Low-calorie diet is a good way to bring your weight down and also to limit the amount of fat intake since majority of the foods that can be consumed as part of the diet are low in fats. Remember to add exercises in too. Your goal is not to lose weight, your ultimate goal is to lose FATS!!!

Hope after reading this entry, you get a clearer picture on this diet plan. Next entry will touch on Low-Fat Diet so stay tuned to FatsOff!!!

Circuit Training

Another potent weapon to use to burn off fats is this form of training called the Circuit Training. It can be used to combine cardio and muscle endurance training (since both of these trainings are essential to fat burning!). But be warned, this requires a certain level of fitness.

This will be best carried out in a 400m running track. What I normally do for fat burning is, I will start off with a run and straight after reaching the 100m mark, I will do 20 push-ups. Straight after that, I will run to the 200m mark and do 20 crunches. Continue to run after this and stop at the 300m mark to do 20 reps of squats. After finishing with the squats, sprint as fast as possible to the finishing point. Rest for 5mins and do 2 more sets.

To summarize:
100m run - 20 push-ups - 100m run - 20 crunches - 100m run - 20 squats - 100m sprint

When you do the above mentioned circuit training, you would've trained on your cardio and muscle parts, chest and thigh. As you become fitter, you can increase the running distance from 100m to 200m or reps of each exercise from 20 to 30. Or you can even try the following:

100m run - 20 push-ups & 20 squats - 100m run - 20 crunches & 20 lunges - 100m run - 20 jumping jacks & 20 burpees - 100m sprint

The advantages of circuit training is that even after the training itself, your body is still burning off fats due to the intensity. You will be toned in no time!

I will be back to touch on different kinds of diet in the next few entries, stay tuned to FatsOff!

Basic Weight Training - Thigh

Heres the final installment of basic weight training for major muscles. Most people hate training for their lower body muscles, the only reason I can think of is that as we cover them up most of the time, we tend to forget about them. In order to lose fats faster, we will need to build muscles fast. So here we go!

Squats
A simple yet excellent exercise for your thigh. Use the dumb bell for this exercise.
Start: Hold up dumb bell in each hand placing them beside each side of your head. Position feet shoulder length apart.
Execution: Squat with your back straight, making sure you are able to see your toes while squatting down. A good way to gauge if you are doing it right is to pretend you are sitting on a chair. That will be the ending position. You will need to balance your body, using your thigh to help support majority of your body weight.

Lunges
Heres one exercise that allows you to do it even at home if you have dumb bells.
Start: Hold dumb bell at the side of body. Stand with feet shoulder length apart.
Execution: Lunge a foot forward and lower body slowly while maintaining a straightened back. Return to starting position and switch leg.

There are alot of advanced exercises for your thigh but for now, regular training with these 2 exercises should at least help you with prepare your thigh muscles for the high level exercises.

I will next go more in depth into Circuit Training in the next entry. Circuit Training, if used right, can be a potent weapon against fats. So remember to stay tuned to FatsOff! =D

Basic Weight Training - Back

Apologies for the lack of entries for more than a month. Have been trying out new workout schedules to find the best in losing weight and body toning. Will share more on that in future entries, but first, let's resume with our weight training entries. This entry, we shall look at Back exercises using free weights.

Bend Over Rows
This exercise will target the back in general. Use a dumb bell for this exercise.
Start: Position your left hand and left knee on the bench while placing your right foot on the ground. Grab a dumb bell on the floor with your right hand.
Execution: Pull the dumb bell towards you until it touches your ribs. Return back to starting position slowly. Maintain a straightened back throughout the exercise.

Rear Lateral Raise
This will target the back of your shoulder. You will need a pair of dumb bell for this.
Start: Grab a dumb bell in each hand, bend elbows slightly. Feet shoulder length apart. Bend slightly over while maintaining a straightened back.
Execution: Raise dumb bells until shoulder height and return back to starting position slowly resisting gravity on its way down.

Pull Over
A good exercise to train your "wings".
Start: Lie on a bench, grab a barbell and bend elbows slightly. Position the barbell above your chest.
Execution: Slowly lower the barbell until it is just beyond your head. Return the barbell back to starting position slowly.

Deadlift
You might see alot of people doing this in gyms. This is a good exercise for lower back.
Start: Squat and grab the barbell with shoulder width grip. Back straight at all times.
Execution: Stand from squatting position and hyper-extend your lower back when you have stood fully up. Go back to starting position and repeat until you've finished your set.

A thing about back exercises is that you can hurt your back pretty easily. Rule of the thumb - ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR BACK IS STRAIGHT.

Next entry, I will introduce some basic Thigh workout using free weights so stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =D

Basic Weight Training - Chest

I've talked about doing basic home exercises for the 3 major muscle groups using body weight, now I will zoom into basic weight training with dumb bells and barbells for the next few entries. Lets start with Chest for this entry.

Bench Press (Flat)
The most common free-weight exercise for chest that can be spotted in the gym is the bench press. It can be done either with a barbell or dumb bells.
Start: Lie flat on a bench, arms at 90 degrees angle holding the dumb bells.
Execution: Push the dumb bells up squeezing your chest muscles but do not straighten your elbow once you pushed the weights up, try to leave a slight bend at your elbows. Return to your start position slowly resisting gravity. All these while do take note not to arch your back and neck.

Bench Press (Inclined)/(Declined)
This is similar as flat bench press. The difference for inclined is that it targets more on your upper chest and declined targets more of your lower chest. Take note not to arch your back and neck while doing any of the bench presses.

Dumb Bell Flies (a.k.a Pec Deck)
Dumb bell flies, like bench press, can be done flat, inclined or declined. All you need is a bench that can be adjusted.
Start: Lie flat on a bench, arms almost straightened while holding dumb bells, elbows with a slight bend and pointing down. You will feel a stretch at your chest.
Execution: Push dumb bells together much like a "hugging when lying down" movement. Stress your chest muscles as you push. Return to starting position slowly.

Chest Dip
Dips target lower chest. A dip bar is needed for this exercise.
Start: Mount onto the dip bar with elbow slightly bent. Bend your knees too.
Execution: Control as you bend your elbows to lower your body. Push yourself up after you feel a slight stretch in your chest.
Do note not to straighten your elbows at all times while executing this exercise.

These are some of the basic chest exercises that can be done to enhance your chest. There are much more advanced level of chest exercises which requires abit of supervision for a newbie. Injuries can be prevented if done correctly. Of course, please warm up before doing any exercises.

I will share with everyone some basic back exercises using free-weights in my next entry so stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =D

FatsOff's View on Banana Diet

Recently I came across a kind of diet made popular in Japan, the Banana Diet. After doing some research, I feel that I need to throw my views in about this diet plan before continuing with muscle building.

The Banana Diet has been considered as a fad diet, which means that its just a temporary solution to weight loss. There are some rules to follow:

1) Eat as many banana as you like with a glass of water/milk in room temperature for breakfast.
2) Choose whatever you like for lunch and dinner.
3) No other desserts should be consumed as snacks other than bananas.
4) No food to be consumed after 8pm.
5) You must sleep before midnight.

Banana does make one feels full. As many probably know, banana helps making our by-products out from our rear smoother. While doing this, it probably pulls some calories along before our body absorbs the calories. Banana also contains a kind of starch (resistant starch) that can increase fat-burning.

It sounds good so far. It is a good diet plan if you do it the correct way. One of the rule is that you can choose whatever you want for lunch and dinner. Of course if you eat healthily, you will achieve your target faster. The best is to know how much energy you need daily to plan your lunch and dinner. This is to prevent yourself from overeating. The other thing to look out is other important nutrients like protein and vitamins that the body needs.

So as of now, you are losing weight with this diet plan. The bad news is you have not lose much fats. True, banana has starch to increase fat-burning but this will not be fully utilised if you forgo exercising. Incorporating exercises into the diet can help you achieve your goals faster.

I personally felt that the Banana Diet by itself cannot burn off much fats. Exercises and prudent planning of lunch and dinner should be added in to enhance the overall fat burning plan.

I'll sign off for this entry. More will be coming your way. Stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =D

Body-weight Exercises for 3 Major Muscles

Muscles help to burn fats. Yes, it is true! The more muscles you have, the more fats you can burn to be used as energy to sustain the body. I will zoom into the parts that you should train to speed up fat-burning. I've actually disclosed in my previous entry that there are 3 parts to train to speed up fat-burning. Chest, back and thigh muscles are the biggest in our body.

I will zoom into each part in detail in my next few entries. For beginners, you can start training these parts at home with your own body weight. Start with these home exercises to prepare for the weight training in the later stages.

Chest: Push-ups aka Pumping
For those who have difficulty, its alright to put your knees on the ground as you do the exercise. Subsequently, when your chest muscles get stronger, there won't be any problem doing with your knees off the ground.

Back: Pull-ups aka Chin-ups
Most probably its quite hard to do this at home. For me, I use the ledge at the top of the door frame. I dun have a full grip but it is sufficient for me to carry out my workouts. I suggest beginners to go down to the fitness corners for this exercise. For those who have difficulty doing a full pull-up, try doing half pull-ups without straightening your arm. Alternatively, get a partner, bend your knees while you grip and hang on the pull-up bar with arms straight and get him/her to support by pushing your bended knees up as you pull.

Back: Back Extension
The easier back workout using body weight which can be done at the comfort of your home. Lie face down on a exercise mat or on your "tilum", cup your ears with your hand and push your upper body up using your back muscles. All the while keeping your neck "locked", do not tilt your head up while you are pushing up, it could strain your neck muscles. For those who are comfortable and beyond beginners' level, you might want to try Superman or Bird-Dog exercises to accelerate muscle building and muscle definition for your back.

Thigh: Lunges and Squats
When you bend your knees, try to make sure that you can still see your toes. If you can't, you are bending forward rather than "sitting down". And make sure your back is kept straight throughout these exercises.

Simple home exercises using body weights, thats a way to get started. And ladies, I stress again that you do not have the genres to produce huge muscles. There aint enough muscle cells to grow bulky muscles. By doing weight training, you will simply look toner and firmer.

To everyone, dun wait anymore, jump onto the bandwagon as I take you through the fat-burning journey the right way. More coming up so stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =)

Interval Training

Hope everyone had a happy CNY celebration. CNY is normally a festival where we snack and snack! So if you are here, I assume that you are looking for ways to reduce the body fats in your body. Well done for taking a step to help yourself. Yesh!

So this entry, I will introduce a method that I've been using successfully. It will be intense and requires some level of fitness. Ideally, you must already have the fitness to be able to run for an hour non-stop at fat-burning intensity to be able to pull this off.

This training method is called Interval Training. As I've shared in my last entry that the higher your exercise intensity, the lesser percentage of fats calories were being utilised but it resulted in higher overall amount of fats being burnt.

Interval training requires one to alternate between running at a very high intensity and running at a very relaxed pace. Here, I'll share with all the methods that I've been using. Normally I use distance as a gauge to decide when I would sprint and when I would slow down.

Go to a 400m running track with distance marking. Normally a stadium will have 400m running track. Jog for the first 100m, sprint for the next 100m, jog very slowly for other 100m (to recover from the earlier sprint and prepare for the next sprint) and sprint for the last 100m. This will be 1 set. Rest 5mins between each set to ensure you can perform adequately well in your upcoming set. Do 3 to 4 sets. Increase the number of sets as you become fitter.

You can also use time as a gauge if a running track is unavailable (sorry, no excuse to skip training because I always have alternatives!). Start with a slow jog for 2mins, sprint for 20s and go back to slow jogging for 2mins before signing off your 1st set with a 20s sprint. Walk for about 2mins to catch your breathe and get ready for the next set. Do 3 to 4 sets. Increase your sprint duration as you become fitter (e.g. from 20s to 30s).

As I've said before, a long jog probably utilise more percentage of fats than a sprint but a sprint would probably burn higher amount of fats. Lets take an illustration to help understanding this concept:

Jack jogged for 30mins and burnt 280cal of which 50% used were fats. Therefore 140cal comes from fats.
Let's say Jack does the above stated interval training. He done 3 sets and used 450cal of which 40% used were fats. Therefore, 180cal comes from fats.
See the difference? Interval training would accelerate fat-burning. 3 sets of interval training probably lasted less than 30mins but compared to a 30mins jog, it uses more fats calories. You will also get fitter faster. Another advantage is that your metabolism will be boosted long after your exercise ends (up to 24 hours after your run ends depending on intensity)! Low intensity exercise only burns calories while you are actually doing the exercise while high intensity exercise burns even after you've stopped your run.

Fat burning is getting easier aint it? Haha. I'll end my entry here. Will be back with more fat-burning tips. Stay tuned to FatsOff!

Happy Chinese New Year to all (But dun forget to exercise too!!!)...

Cardio

Cardio is essential to combat fats, one of the tools to speed up fat loss. Before we start, I need to empathize the importance of understanding your heart rate.

Everyone has a maximum heart rate in which our heartbeat per minute will not exceed. Theres a formula to calculate:

220 - your age = max heart rate

Here's a guide for beginners:

1) Make sure your heart rate falls between 60 to 70% of your maximum heart rate to attain fat burning zone.
E.g. For someone who is 20yr old:
220 - 20 = 200bpm (beats per min)
60% x 200 = 120bpm
70% x 200 = 140bpm
The optimal heart rate for fat loss is between 120 to 140bpm for this individual.

2) Run at your optimal heart rate for at least 40mins, thrice per week.

3) Hydrate a few hours before your run so that your liver can concentrate on helping to burn off fats rather than coping with dehyration.

Alright, so now we've gotten the basic guideline out of the way, I would like to answer a question asked frequently by ladies.

Q) Does running make my thighs grow big?
A) Directly, NO. Your thighs will be toner and firmer. Indirectly, POSSIBLE. What do I mean by indirectly? As now, from reading my earlier entries, you would've known that ladies do not have enough muscle cells to build bulky muscles. You would also have known that as you exercise, your metabolism goes up and thus you eat more. When you cut down on your exercises, your metabolism goes down and if your appetite for food remains, there could be a problem whereby you stored extra calories as fats. For ladies, thigh is where most fats go to whereas for guys, tummy is where most fats go to. Instead of asking does running make your thighs grow big, maybe ask if you've eaten more calories than you can burn? If yes, do change your exercise or dieting routine.

The other thing to note is when we are running, we are not necessarily burning 100% fats. Let's say for someone who walks for 20mins, he/she would burn approx 100 calories of which 65% comes from fats. This means he/she burns 65 calories of fats from this activity. If this person jogs for 20mins instead of walking, he/she would burn approx 250 calories of which only 40% comes from fats. Even though lower percentage of fats were used, this person has already burnt out 100 calories of fats (40% of 250kcal) compared to when he/she was walking. High intensity exercises utilise lower percentage of fats but chances are, you will burn more fats.

Based on what I've shared about intensity of exercises and amount of calories burnt, I do have ways to accelerate fat loss through cardio exercises. Next entry, I will share with all a great way to accelerate fat loss. Stay tuned to FatsOff!

3 Major Muscles to Accelerate Fat Loss

For those following this blog would've read about muscles increase your metabolism and thus allowing you to lose fats faster. Which muscle groups should be trained to accelerate fat loss?

Heres the answer:

1) Chest
Do remember to hit all parts of the chest. Upper, lower, inner and outer.

2) Back
Hit on the trapz (the muscles at each side of your neck), lats (a.k.a wings), upper and lower back.

3) Thighs
You can even do this at home with squats exercises.

For those familiar with muscle groups would've spotted the similarity between those muscle groups. Yes, they are 3 of the biggest muscles in our body. Remember, the bigger your muscles, the higher your rate of metabolism.

For ladies, do not worry too much about building bulky frame as the female body is built in such a way that you will not build up to be bulky like your male counterparts. To get the bulky mass, you have to do a whole lot more work and external help like supplements!! You will simply tone up when you do weights training which in turn firms up your body giving you a sexier curve.

Yes, so why not engage in weights training too? Lose fats and be sexy at the same time! How much better can it get right? Sentosa, here I come? Yes! Definately!

I will go more into my own training regime for the 3 major muscle groups in another entry. Next entry, I will leave metabolism and go into another important weapon to battle fats, CARDIO TRAINING.

Muscles into Fats?

Ever heard of this statement: "If you stop exercising, your muscles will turn into fats!"? Well, alot of people asked me about this and my answer is a resounding NO!

The next question they ask will be, "Why do my muscles turn flabby then?". So here I am, to explain what is actually happening.

When we are engage in weights training actively, our metabolism rate goes up and we tend to eat more to sustain our daily energy needs. At this point, what we eat will be burnt off to be used as energy.

When we stop training for a long period, our metabolism rate goes down, our muscles shrink. But for most, the appetite for food remains as the body is used to the amount of food intake during training (e.g Alex ate 5 plates of rice everyday when he was engaging in weight training, when he stopped training, he continues to eat 5 plates of rice). There will be an over-intake of food.

So the extra food that are not burnt to be used for energy would be stored as fats! So the theory of muscles turning into fats is not true. Fats and muscles are two different kind of tissues. Muscles lies underneath fats so losing fats will allow your muscles to stand out.

If you have been training regularly, keep up the good work. But if you intend to tone down or even stop completely, do remember to adjust your food intake accordingly. Do not slack off if you want your fats off!

Since I'm in the topic of metabolism, I'll touch on the parts to train to shed off fats faster in my next entry. Stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =D

Ways to Boost BMR

This week, we take a look at ways to boost metabolism rate. First I'll just explain briefly what is it all about. Its commonly known in the world of fitness as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Its the amount of daily energy used while resting in order to sustain the body. It decreases as one ages. Everyone has different BMR depending on gender, age, lifestyle, level of activeness and so on.

Someone with a high BMR tends to burn off more fats to create energy needed to sustain the daily needs of the body. Someone with high BMR can kill off fats easily while someone with low BMR will struggle to burn off fats. Good news! BMR can be increased!!! Read on!!!

It is true that the more muscles your body has, the higher your BMR. The more muscles you have, the more energy your body needs to sustain the daily needs of the body. For ladies, as I've said, due to the lack of muscle cells in their body, would find it very hard to build bulky muscles. For guys, great news, bulk up and your BMR will go up.

Playing sports helps alot in burning extra fats. The more you move, the more you burn! Although they will not help much in increasing the BMR but ultimately, exercising will contribute to a leaner body. Jogging, cycling, swimming are all some of the ways. In summary, stay active!!

Next, eat frequent meals (5 to 6 small meals daily). People who stop eating in order to lose weight are putting themselves at alot of health risks, not only that, their plan to lose weight will eventually backfire. The body will store food as fats if you starve yourself. So whatever you put into your mouth would not be used as energy but stored as fats instead. And since its not being burnt to be used as energy, you will still feel hungry and would be tempted to eat more. In addition, the body will slow metabolism to conserve energy which means your BMR slows down. To prevent your body from doing this, reducing the interval of hunger maintains the "burning process".

Do have breakfast. Giving your body some healthy nutrition gets your metabolism kicking for the day!

Drink enough water! 6 to 8 glasses of water is deemed sufficient (of course I dun mean liqour shots glasses, when I say glasses, I really do mean the glasses you use to drink milk!). This way, your liver will have the time to deal with important duty like burning fats rather than focusing on water retention.

Get enough sleep. The body burns fats even during sleep. Someone who gets 8 hours of sleep will have higher BMR as opposed to someone who sleeps only 4 hours daily. Of course, sleeping too much will not help either because the extra hours you used to sleep can be put into better use like exercising to further burn off fats!!!

In conclusion, in order to boost BMR, one should:

1) Increase muscle mass.
2) Stay active.
3) Eat small frequent meals.
4) Consume breakfast.
5) Drink enough water daily.
6) Get enough sleep.

As we go further, FatsOff will go in-depth into ways to enhance your BMR. The next entry will be on how not exercising can contribute to the myth of muscles turning into fats. Stay tuned to FatsOff!!! =D

Weight Loss vs Fat Loss

Here's my 1st post after the introduction. Theres so many components that needs to be addressed to achieve the best effect for fat loss. I shall 1st talk about the differences between losing weight and losing fats.

It is so easy to lose weight that someone who knows nuts about fitness can do it. Simply just stop eating and your weight will go down. But beware! The next time you eat, the body will store fats in case you decides to diet again. Let's face it, people wants to lose weight to look good. Now the burning question is, do one really look good after doing that? By not eating to lose weight, one will only look a smaller and weaker version of him or herself. Looking good? I dun think so. Healthy? I dun think so too. It is true that muscles weigh more than fats so using weight as an indication is not accurate. You can be heavier with a nice body or lighter with a flabby body. Think along this line, look toned rather than slim. And for ladies, do not worry, you do not have enough muscle cells to look bulky like the guys. Those you saw on TV (wrestlers/ bodybuilders), they went through special training program and did it with the aid of external help like mass gainer. Working out will make gals toner rather than bulkier.

And theres slimming centres popping out everywhere. They help you lose weight, not fats. And this is a temporary measure, afterwhich, be prepared to shell out more money to maintain it. All they really did was to reduce the body fluid and thus making one look slimmer. And do not forget, this is only temporary.

What about I propose a way where one can eat happily, stay healthy and look good all at once? One word does all the work! Yes, its true. The magic word is Metabolism. To get your desired body, this will help alot along with other vital components.

To sum up, fats can weigh lesser than muscles so stop using the weighing machine as an indicator. Fats can build up if one stops eating for a period of time whereas for someone eating regular small meals, they burn fats faster due to their metabolism rate. Exercising will increase metabolism rate and in turns helps to burn off fats the right way. Losing weight does not really make you look better while you can be sure that losing fats does! In all, losing fats over losing weight... Will go more into metabolism rate, how to build this ultimate fat burning weapon, in my next entry... Stay tuned to FatsOff =D
