The Secret

Recently on Larry King Live the cast of the famous movie/film "The Secret" was on. They spoke about living life and how you are the product of whatever happens in your life. This led me to think about what is the secret when it comes to fat loss. Fat loss seems to be what everyone is crazy about. It's either their stomach is not tight, their arms hang, their thighs needs shaping, fat loss simply is a concern for males and females.

But when it comes to fat loss, there are 3 things that fat loss experts truly agree upon and that's:

  1. Burn more calories than you take in. (Caloric Deficit)
  2. Eat Small Frequent Meals.
  3. Eat foods that take more energy to break down.

The main goal is to make your body work a lot harder so you burn more calories. When you're working out and eating less you're creating a caloric deficit. A deficit must be in place in order to lose fat. Supposedly it takes 3500 calories to burn 1 lb of fat. So if you have a deficit of 500 per day you can lose 1 lb of fat in a week, hypothetically speaking.

With small frequent meals you burn more calories just simply by eating. Everytime you it, the body uses up energy to break down the food. Therefore the more you eat, the more calories you burn. Of course you must still have a caloric deficit to lose weight, so don't look at this as a solution to go eating 'buffet' style on me.

Lastly it's eating foods that just requires the body to work harder to breakdown. It's been shown that consuming protein and complex carbohydrates(Veggies) requires the body to burn more calories as oppose to foods with simple sugars like bread, bagels, pasta, donuts, you get my driff.

So the tie in point....

Eat foods that require your body to work hard to break down, eat them frequently, and get your butt moving ..... it's "The Secret" to dropping fat fast.
