What Is a Fat Burner?

No doubt we are all looking for that secret method, that hidden cure to eliminate the excess bulge.

We’ve all wondered what ingredients, foods, exercises, work best to burn the unwanted fat off our not-as-perfect-as-we’d-like-them-to-be bodies.

So, what then, is a fat burner?

The answer is both simple and complex because we can look at it from two different angles.

Simply put, a fat burner is anything  that speeds up metabolism, helping you to burn off the fat stored in your body and eventually help you lose weight.

We intend to present to you some options. There are natural fat burning methods and pill-based-supplemental ones and sometimes, the two collide!

Natural Fat Burning Procedures

Sure, we’d all like to pop a pill in the morning, or drink some shake, and watch the mirror image accost us with saggy drawers and thinning bodies.

Unfortunately, that’s rarely ever the case. Therefore, here are some things we can do to burn fat the natural way!

• Sleep: Make sure you tuck away 8 ½ hours each night. Research shows that adequate sleep is a marvelous metabolism booster and thereby, fat-burner!
• Get Moving Early: You don’t have to spend hours at the gym as soon as you get up, but if you’ll start your day off with some sort of exercise, you’ll wake up that metabolism and get it ready to do its job throughout the day.
• Consider C, D & Fish oil: Research shows that vitamins C and D help burn/lose fat. In addition, Australian researchers believe that 6 grams of fish oil cam help deplete the jiggle.
• Smaller Meals: Sure, you’ve heard that before, but research shows that if you’ll eat under 600 calories per meal then you’ll burn fat more effectively. The tendency to gorge is slowing us down!
• Add These: Research shows that ingesting these foods will torch the flab- cherries, almonds, spicy foods, whole grains, grapefruit and yogurt.
• Counting the Calories: We bet you’re tired of hearing that, but here’s some information you might not know: don’t cut more than 250 calories a day to begin with and stay above the 1200 calorie mark. If you try anything drastic, your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto the flab for dear life!
• Play: Sounds like fun, right? Well, soccer is super enjoyable and amazingly builds more muscles, torches more cottage cheese and leaves you feeling less tired, than jogging! Of course, you could also invest in some boxing games on the Wii.
• Lift: Yes, there must be exercise in your agenda and weight-lifting is an excellent fat burning method. We recommend, kettle balls and weight vests which, respectively, have the same impact as a 6 minute mile jog and boost calorie burning by 8%!
• Eggs: Believe it or not, having a 2 egg omelet for breakfast will help you eliminate pounds better than if you ate the same amount of calories in a bagel.
• Drink: Bet we got your attention there, but no, we’re not talking about alcohol. We are, however, suggesting that you ingest green tea and coffee.

Supplemental Aids – Fat Burner Pills

If you’ve somehow managed to integrate all our previous selections into your lifestyle and are still hugely frustrated by the inadequate fat droppage, then there are other aids available to you.

While some supplements promise you the moon, many are just blowing smoke. It is really important that you do your research when trying any of these pills.

Be certain that you are not in danger due to medicinal, or health-based, incompatibility.
