The 5 Best Ways To Lose Body Fat

by damien

Many people have the goal of losing weight. There are some who are already in the process of losing weight. This article is going to talk about the 5 best ways to be well respected because their functionings are in synergy. The result will be optimal because in addition to losing weight, there is no risk of regaining it.

Here are the 5 essential factors to follow:

Raise your metabolism

First of all, it should be noted that if the consumption is abundant, the risk of gaining fat mass will be minimal. This means, for example, that if a person consumes 2000 Kcal per day and spends 2200 afterwards, they will have a shortfall of 200 Kcal. This will be drawn from the stocks. 1g of fat corresponds to 9 kcal, which explains why he will eliminate 22. 20g of fat in a 24-hour day.

What does "raising" the metabolism mean? It is thanks to the metabolism that the human body can carry out physical activities as well as intellectual activities because it is the source of the organism's reactions that maintain vital functions. For a period of 24 hours the metabolism is measured in Kcal in terms of the amount of energy burnt.

Although this system seems to be an advantage for human beings to survive, the body will have a tendency to decrease the metabolism to keep pace with this deficit. You should therefore not start a diet with a low metabolism, otherwise you will not lose fat! Your metabolism will go into survival mode.

Now the question is: how do you maintain an optimal mass loss for several weeks?

Boosting the metabolism

The first key is to do a regular sport activity that will force the body to spend calories and also to maintain or increase the muscle mass. When the muscle makes an effort or even when it is at rest, it consumes a lot of energy. Mass gain is therefore an effective way to keep the metabolism high.

Secondly, it is necessary to consume foods rich in proteins which require more energy to digest them and which also help to strengthen the muscle. So remember to give priority to all protein-rich foods (consume up to 2 to 2. 5g per kilo of body weight).

And last but not least, boost the last and most difficult phase during mass loss with fat burning molecules. There are many nutrients that can help burn fat such as green tea, spices that contain capsaicin, certain fruit acids, essential fatty acids (such as EPA, DHA, CLA, . . . ) and vitamins (such as Niacin). These will heat the body and increase its temperature by a few tenths of a degree.

Lipids are the sources for regulating the body temperature. If the food consumed is not rich in fats and carbohydrates, the increase in temperature will be caused by the stored fats. This phenomenon is called thermogenesis. This phenomenon will therefore allow the fat stored in the body to be burned more.

Stabilising the level of glucose in the blood

Insulin stores glucose

When the body takes in carbohydrates, the body will produce insulin to stabilise the blood sugar level at normal levels. This substance will extract glucose from the blood and store it in the muscle tissue and liver, but if the stock is too full, the insulin will put the surplus into the fatty tissue.

To avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to take nutrients that will encourage the muscle to receive insulin in order to boost the storage of carbohydrates presented by the glycogen. This will help to avoid storing fat. Nutrients such as chromium, alpha lipoic acid and cinnamon will help burn fat.

Avoid water retention

Water represents 60% of the volume of the weight of the fat cell.

It is therefore very present in this tissue. The abundant presence of water in the adipose tissue causes cellulite, or in other words inflammation of the fatty tissue when there is too much pressure caused by water.

Diuretic herbs help to increase the elimination of water and at the same time help the fat cell to evacuate the water it stores. After using these herbs, the tissues deflate and flush out the toxins.

This means that diuretic plants must be part of the elements used to burn fat. In addition, these plants are also used as a detoxifier for the kidneys.

Draining to eliminate cellulite

Remove toxins from the liver

The liver plays an important role in the body. It serves as a filter and is also the organ that processes the absorption of nutrients. It plays a role in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Over time, the liver can become clogged or worn out due to consumption of unhealthy or fatty foods, etc. As a result, it does not perform as well as it should.

As a result, it no longer performs its normal functions, so toxins will be stored in the body and will remain in the fatty tissues. In order to avoid all this, the liver must be detoxified to ensure its proper functioning. When the liver is functioning well, fats are used as a source of energy which will prevent them from being stored in the tissue.

So for that, it is necessary to clean the liver 1 to 3 times a year according to the state of each one by using detoxifying plants like sillymarin, artichokes or desmodiums. If possible do this for 4 to 6 weeks. Detoxification helps to eliminate bad fats.

To sum up, to succeed in losing weight and to have an optimal result, one must favour healthy and balanced foods. It is also necessary to do sports activities regularly and especially to apply all the strategies mentioned above. Fat mass loss will be assured in this case and there will be no risk of yo-yo effect.
