My fat loss commandments

This is what I've been doing during the last week and it has worked so far for me. I hope this help, specially for those of you that think you have to starve to lose weight. The first thing and most important thing that I focus on is WHOLE, NATURAL food, the way they came out of the earth. No processed foods or minimal processed foods, so right there you're eliminating a wholo bunch of food from your list (sodas, candies, baked goods, trans fats, cakes, chips, fried food, etc). I used to be a heavy soda drinker, but since I stopped, I have felt a loe better. If there's only one thing that you would do to lose fat than do this and you will get results.

Once that you start eating natural food, than it's time to eat 5-6 small meals per day. Why is this important? Because our bodies process calories better when they are given little by little. If you eat too many calories in one sitting, your body will use the calories it needs at that certain meal and then store the rest of the calories as fat. So, don't neglect this important rule as I do beleive that is has a lot to do with the results that I've gotten so far.

After that you wanna make sure you're doing your resistance/weight training. Why? because it burns way more calories than regular, slow paced cardio. The more muscle you use during a certain exercise, the more you will burn, and that's exactly what you do when you train with weights, wether is dumbells, barbells, or your own body weight. Don't be fooled, if your heart rate goes up, you're huffin' and puffin' and sweating like a mad man, that it is cardio, doesn't matter if your holding a dumbell in your hand. So, remember, if you had to chose between doing only one form of exercise for the rest of your life, you wanna chose resistance training all the time.

The fourth tip is to drink ridicoulusly big amounts of water. Often times is the simple things that matter, and while this rule might sound to simple for you, it will get you a long way if you're already doing what I explained in tips 1, 2 and 3.

Finally, and this is optional but it has help me a lot with my cravings for sweets is green iced tea. I make a big batch of green tea and then add sweetener and ice to it and that is my beverage for the whole day, along with plain water of course. Whatever helps you control cravings is welcome and this has worked wonders for me so I don't crave the deadly coca cola.

So there you have it. That is what I've doing during this last week to lose 3lbs. I will keep you posted with more tips that I might find helpful and with what I eat on a regular day. Until then, Stay healthy and lean.
