6 Surprising fat Loss Facts
SIX PACKS :
Everyone has a six-pack, but it is covered by a layer of fat You could do 1,000 crunches seven days per week, but that won't help you burn that layer of fat.In order to lose fat, you must monitor your caloric intake and eat less calories than you expend. That way, your body will use stored fat for fuel. When your body burns fat for fuel, you don't get to pick which parts of your body the fat will come off. Eventually, your entire body will be leaner, including that coveted abdominal area!
It is not possible to turn your body fat into muscle. Fat is fat and muscle is muscle—you can't magically turn one into the other by lifting weights or doing cardio. However, weight training is the easiest way to control the shape of your body. The more muscle you have, the more fat your body will burn. Keep in mind, though, that you can have a lot of muscle and still have fat covering it up. That's why you need to do weight training, cardio, and have a clean, nutritious diet to maximize your weight loss and body-shaping potential.
Fat doesn’t make you fat, but taking too many calories does. Foods that contain fat are part of a healthy diet, help maintain your lean body mass, and assist with metabolic function. Healthy fats, like omega-3 fatty acids, can be found in extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, almonds, avocados, cashews, peanuts, walnuts, flaxseeds, and more. If you want to lose fat, you need to eat fewer calories and/or burn more calories.
