Rapid and permanent fat loss is almost entirely dependent on your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate is what determines how many calories you burn in a given day. The biggest factor that influences your metabolism is the amount of lean muscle you have on your body.

Based on this fact, it is imperative to build, or at the very least maintain, your lean muscle during a fat loss phase. Every pound of muscle you build requires between 35 to 50 calories per day to maintain itself. These additional calories are burned over the course of the entire day, even when you are at complete rest.

So just by building one pound of lean muscle, you will burn an additional 12,775 to 18,250 calories per year, while at rest! So if you can add 4 pounds of lean muscle, it will encourage your body to burn an additional 51,100 to 73,000 calories per year, which equates to a loss of 15-21 pounds of body fat. Once you factor in the additional calories being burned during your training sessions, you can see that your fat loss results can be quite dramatic.

So it is clear that we should perform activities that encourage muscle building/maintenance while we avoid doing anything that leads to muscle loss.

The best way to build and maintain muscle is to perform resistance training. With a well designed resistance training program, you can burn calories during your workout; but even more importantly, you will ignite your metabolism to burn calories 24 hours per day, even during sleep!

Here is how to perform your resistance training to cause a positive metabolic effect:

You will be performing 3 full body workouts per week. These workouts should be performed on non consecutive days, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Alternately, you could opt for a Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday schedule. Spacing the workouts out in this manner allow for optimal recovery between training sessions.

In addition to that, spacing out your workouts every 48 hours ensures that your metabolism will stay elevated all of the time. I have witnessed this for years and finally, scientific studies are actually confirming my findings.

Recent research has shown that after performing a properly designed full body workout, people’s metabolism stays elevated for approximately 40 hours. So just when your metabolism starts to come back down to normal, you are ready to rev it up again with another training session.

In my experience, full body training in a multiple station design is the best way to “put a match to” your metabolic rate.

I have many ways of designing full body workouts. Let me show you one that is very simple and particularly effective. Pick 2 exercises for the upper body, 2 exercises for the lower body and 2 direct abdominal exercises.

Without resting in between sets, perform a circuit of all 6 exercises in this order: Upper, lower, ab, upper, lower, ab. At this point take a 90 second rest and repeat this entire sequence twice more.

Here is an example circuit:

1a) Inverted Rows x 1<max reps
1b) Step Ups x 20 reps each leg
1c) Reverse Crunch On Decline x 12-15 reps
1d) Incline Push Ups x 1<max reps
1e) Split Squats x 12-15 reps each leg
1f) Modified V-Sit Up x 12-15 reps

Train hard and watch that fat melt right off your body.

The two things in our lives that we need and enjoy the most are food and sex. Some people might say that you do not have to have sex, and others say there is no such thing as to much sex. But, the fact is that both physically and mentally we all need a certain amount sex.

Food, on the other hand, is both a pleasure and a necessity and this is where the problem starts for approximately 70% of the population. We enjoy food so much that we overindulge and eat too much of the wrong things.

Have you noticed that everyone seems to be on some kind of a diet or they are starting some new fad diet next week? One person is starting the South Beach Diet and another is starting the Fat Smash Diet, and someone else is still trying the Adkins Diet.

We try every new diet that hits the market - including the low-carb, no-carb, low-fat, no-fat, and even the grapefruit diet. And it goes on and on, one fad diet after another and the weight just goes up and down like a yo-yo.

The simple truth - The basic principal behind any diet is to eat less food and to eat food that contains fewer calories than your body needs. Then your body is forced to use accumulated fat for the energy it needs, because it is not getting it from the diet.

However, this is a problem with short-term fad diets, they also have to be tasty and nutritionally sound. Simply banning certain types of foods is not a solution. Anyone following such a diet will eventually have to acknowledge that they want those foods (or the body may need those foods) and they will probably relapse back into their old eating habits. Here we see the “yo-yo effect” in action, - again.

First of all, we should realize that there is no magic formula or magic wand for losing weight for the long term. We just need to cut down on the intake of excess calories (which increases fat in the body) and start exercising (which helps burn body fat to lose the weight).

Healthy eating, low-calorie foods, fresh fruits and vegetables and regular physical activity are the effective ways to lose weight and keep it off.

Quick and Sustained weight loss is a combination of external and internal factors. The external factors of exercise and diet are of course helpful to lose weight. But you need to equally focus on internal factors of boosting your metabolism and keep yourself motivated to loose weight.
