If you’re trying lose weight, maintain your weight, or sculpt your body, than you’re probably trying to discover how to burn pure fat. You want to know what you can do to make your body burn fat faster and more efficiently.
Well, take heart, there is a way to turn your body into an efficient fat burning, weight eliminating machine, but it involves work. The question is “Are you willing to work once you learn how to burn pure fat from your body?” because it will take some effort on your part.
Effort, you say, what kind of effort? Well, there is no miracle pill or supplement to make your body burn fat without any work on your part. But there are supplements to help you body burn fat more efficiently. However, for the purpose of this article, we’ll stick to the basics.
In order to rid your body of its fat stores, you must find a balance of diet and exercise that works. Ahh, exercise - yes, there is it is - there’s your magic secret to burning pure fat from your body.
Let’s start with some scientific facts here. During the first 15-20 minutes of exercising, your body uses its stores of carbohydrates to fuel your body. After this time, it taps into its fat stores. This means that you need to exercise for at least 20 minutes or more to be sure you’re burning excess fat.
Now, if your goal is to lose weight, then there are a few things to consider in your endeavor. First of all, you want to be sure that you’re losing fat and not muscle. Well, you might think, “Hey, weight is weight, right?” You couldn’t be more wrong.
First of all, you
definitely do not want to lose muscle weight. Although it’s true that muscle weighs more than fat, it’s also true that muscle needs more energy to operate. This revs up your metabolism and helps you to burn calories a lot faster, thereby making your body burn its fat stores for energy.
So, if you want to learn how to burn pure fat, then you need to learn how to build muscle. Okay, ladies, you may be thinking, I don’t want to look like some muscle bound body builder. But I assure you, this will not happen. Women are just not genetically built to bulk up, unless they have more testosterone than normal in their systems.
What will happen is that you’ll notice that you’re slimming down and your clothes fit better, even if the needle on the scale does not budge. Your body will become much more efficient at burning fat helping you to lose weight.
So if you’ve been killing yourself with aerobic activity and still are unable to lose those last few pounds, then building a little muscle very well may be the answer.
