So what is the best way to lose fat?

Some sources say you need a new carb restricted diet, some will say you need pre packaged meals sent to you, and other will have a new piece of exercise equipment that is so called "revolutionary".

The best way to lose fat does not have to do with any of these!

All the new fads to lose fat are basically just products sold by infomercial companies because they know you will try it, not be successful, and then buy the next thing they sell. This is great for the vendors, but not so great for you.

So lets level it now. The best way to lose fat is simple: a change in your lifestyle.

Before you say "I already know that", stick with me.

The reason you have not been successful in the past with fat loss is because you tried to change one specific thing: carbs, the new thigh master 2000, low/high fat diets, etc.

The best way to lose fat is not changing only one area, it is a comprehensive approach to changing your overall lifestyle.

If you change your lifestyle and you do it the right way, the best way to lose fat will become very clear to you.

A change of lifestyle for the purpose of losing fat consists of a few key factors:

1. Making better food choices

Most people dramatically underestimate how much they consume. They want to lose fat, but still eat so much food that their body has no choice but to store the excess as body fat.

If you are going to make a change in your diet, try eating 4-6 small meals per day, take in less overall calories, and avoid "bad" high glycemic carbs such as white bread, soda, and junk food.

Of course there is a lot more to it than that, but now you get the basic idea of the best way to lose fat through diet. 2. Raise your metabolism.

This is a great way to lose fat with exercise. If you use resistance training, you will add muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, and the higher your metabolism. Don't worry about getting "big and bulky" either =) Unless you train and eat like a bodybuilder, this simply won't happen.

If you also do the right type of cardio called interval training, you will lose fat fast! Interval training consists of alternating between high and low intensities. It is different than regular "same speed" cardio because it is faster and raises your metabolism when you are done. This is a sure way to kickstart your fat loss efforts!

There is a lot to say about making good food choices and exercise that can't but put in detail in one article, but you get the basic idea. The best way to lose fat is the combination of the three things mentioned above.

So stay away from the fad diets and exercise gimmicks. The best way to lose fat is a change in lifestyle that you now have the foundation for. Keep learning and don't give up. Persistence is the key to success!
