How to Burn Fat

There’s some new research from Australia that reveals how to burn fat faster, and as a personal trainer, one of the most frequent questions I get asked is how to burn fat – so I thought it would be a good topic to discuss here.

You’re no doubt aware that there’s lots of “fat burning foods” that can potentially help with fat burning, but they’re not really going to help you burn fat fast. Don’t get me wrong – they are foods that should definitely be part of your healthy diet, but if you really want to learn how to burn fat fast, this will be worth your time.

Ideally, to burn fat fast you need to be exercising on a regular basis – like 3 or 4 times a week. If you’re doing any fat burning exercises (typically aerobic exercises), you’re going to get benefit from them through increased metabolism.

To lose weight, you typically have to burn off more energy than you take in – so if you burn up 3000 calories a day, so long as you consume less than 3000 calories a day you will lose some weight. Ideally the calories you consume should be from high protein, low fat foods, so that you’re body can concentrate on burning the excess fat to make up the extra calories it needs.

So, getting back to exercise as a method of how to burn fat, let’s take the treadmill as an example. The best way to burn fat in this way is to perform the exercise at a gradual pace for at least 20 – 30 minutes. When you exercise at a slow or gradual rate, your body burns more fat for energy. If you exercise at a faster rate, you’re body uses it’s stored levels of glucose and carbohydrates for energy. So pacing yourself and exercising for longer periods will help burn the fat for energy – and as your body is using up less glucose, you will have the energy and stamina to exercise for longer periods.

So my tip on how to burn fat fast is to perform some kind of aerobic exercise (like the treadmill or exercise bike) 3 or 4 times a week, for at least 20 minutes per session. Make sure you eat plenty of protein, simple carbs (like vegetables) and keep your intake of saturated and animal based fats low.
