A Guide to Fat Burning Diets

Are you sick and tired of fat burning diets that simply don't work? Most diet programs promise miraculous results but don't even come close to living up to them. They may produce short term gains, but in the long-term, they jeopardize your health, make you miserable, and fail to keep the fat off. Moreover, they're unsustainable. The root flaw that all these fat burning diets fall victim to is the premise that to effectively burn fat, one must disrupt the body's natural processes and wrench the body from its natural state. This kind of logic is silly. The body possesses the inborn ability to melt fat right off. There is no need to contort yourself; fat loss should be easy and natural. So do yourself a favor: delete all the fad eBooks that you've wasted your money on. What we need is a something is in accordance with the body's natural state, something that is actually informed by knowledge of the body.

Here is such a diet:

(But first, what it is not):

--It is not a low fat diet. These do not work. Period. Low fat foods can still be calorie rich, and calories are the enemy. (Read about it in "The Fat Fallacy".)
--It is not a low carb diet either. The Atkins diet does not work. It just makes you miserable. Carbs are an essential nutrient and must be consumed--in moderation, of course--along with the other macro-nutrients.
--It is not a starvation diet. Fasting diets are the most misguided of the fat burning diets that I've come across. The principle behind them is just plain silly. You need food in order to function. It boggles my mind that this is a matter of contention.

Here's the actual fat burning diet:
The premise of this diet is that fat can be burned by increasing the body's metabolic rate. Here's how you'll go about doing this:

1) Eat five meals a day. Not full, five course meals; more like substantial snacks. This may seem like a repugnant idea, and it may seem at cross-purposes with our goals. But hear me out. If you distribute your meals more evenly throughout the day, it keeps your metabolism in high gear almost 24/7, just burning away at the fat. You won't actually be ingesting more calories, even though you'll be eating more frequently. In fact, this technique will curb cravings, so that you won't ever feel the urge to binge again. This technique separates this system from all the other, wannabe fat burning diets.

2) Exercise a few times a week, or daily, preferably cardio. I know how miserable jogging can be. I hate it too. But it's a must. It's tried and true as a technique.

3) Eat the proper amount of fat. If you eat too much fat, it will be stored in your body, which is what we don't want. But you can't restrict your intake too much. If you starve yourself of fat, your body will respond accordingly--that is, by going into starvation mode. Your metabolism will literally shut down. The body's logic here is that resources are scarce and they need to be conserved. So, counter-intuitively, restricting your fat intake too much will actually prevent the fat from melting off.

4) Drink lots and lots of water. Simply drinking eight 16 oz. glasses of water a day can burn 200 calories! Water also flushes your body of toxins. Green tea is also good for this.

5) Eat foods that are proven to speed up your metabolism. Some foods that fit in this category are cayenne pepper, celery, and berries.

6) Construct an individually tailored diet plan--tailored to your biochemistry, to your weight, to your fat loss goals and timetables, and to your food preferences. This component really is crucial. Successful fat burning diets cannot be "one size fits all."

All these components are synergistic, so you should use them together. They form a system.

I have found, from personal experience and from experience with my clients, that this is the best of all the fat burning diets. Seriously. It burns off the pounds, and best of all, it allows you to keep eating what you enjoy, more or less.

But keep in mind that what I have laid out for you here is compressed and incomplete; it's just a starting point. For more information you should look below.
