We totally understand how frustrating it is to be carrying around unwanted body fat, and want you to know that a very reasonable fat loss solution is waiting around the corner.
Like you may have already figured out, changing your body composition takes hard work and dedication, and isn’t obtained simply through the phony fad diets and e-books. However, although we’ve quickly uncovered this myth, it doesn’t mean that losing weight has to be a terrible experience. On the other hand, the process can be quite enjoyable if executed with the right mindset and proper program. When the dust finally settles, losing weight really comes down to one thing, diet; and the really cool thing is is the diet doesn’t have to be all that strict, it just has to be timed right.
Now, this being said, there are a few basics that you absolutely must know regarding nutrition, and here they are as follows: Every macronutrient, carbs, proteins, and fats, have smaller constituents. For carbohydrates it’s glucose, for proteins it’s amino acids, and for fats it’s small chain triglycerides. This knowledge is very important because knowing which type of form of macronutrient to consume at what particular time will determine a lot in terms of how it will affect you.
The more complex the food or the more polymerized the nutrient, the longer it will take to be broken down and absorbed into the body. Conversely, as you might have guessed, the simpler the food or the less polymerized the nutrient, the more quickly it will be broken down and the more quickly it will be absorbed.
To make this simple, if you’re trying to lose body fat, the only time you want tp eat simple sugars or fast absorbing fats is in the morning or directly after an intense workout. Same goes for fast absorbing protein like a shake or bar. The only exception to this is if you’re breaking a fast in which case you’ll actually want to ingest fast absorbing foods.
Another thing to keep in mind is fruits and vegetables as they will also play a very important role in this diet. Fruits, although composed of mostly fructose, should be a mainstay in your fat loss diet because it contains healthy phyto-chemical as well as fiber. Just simply follow the rules in the previous paragraph when deciding when to consume them. Vegetables are also very healthy and very rich in fiber. As these foods will provide a nice variety in your diet, they have also been shown in many studies to help people maintain a healthy weight as well as help reduce the risk sof cancer.
Along with a healthy diet needs to come a sound workout routine, preferably one with a combination of high and low volume exercises with a decent amount of cardio. No matter what the program entails however, you mustn’t starve yourself with the false impression that it will help you lose weight; doing this will only cause you to lose muscle and water with a minimal amount of fat. The very best way to lose fat and maintain a healthy weight is to eat a healthy diet and exercise for a minimum of an hour a day
