Effective Fat Burning Diets

In the world of weight loss and fitness training, a good fat burning diet goes hand in hand with a good solid workout. I have discussed numerous exercises and weight loss tips in my site but now let’s go to another important part of your fitness training and that is a good diet.

There are a number of good diets out there and it would be a tall task to list all of them. Therefore I’ve picked only some general diets that you can work on and apply to your daily lives.

Healthy Calorie Controlled Diet

Just like the phrase states, this diet is all about the balance of the calorie in your body. I would like to reiterate on the previous sentence as this diet is not about eating less but rather eating less than you can expend.

If for example you are a very active person and you can burn around 5000 calories a day, that means that your diet can actually range around 4000 calories and you will still lose weight. Now if you are a less active person and can only burn 2000 calories per day; even if you eat less than the previous person, say you consume 2500 calories per day; you will still gain weight because you didn’t expend all that energy.

The key to this diet is to limit your caloric intake per day such that you do not exceed your average number of calories burned per day. You might, “How do you measure how much I burn each day?” Well honestly this is never an exact science and I suggest you search around the internet for calorie calculators who give a good estimate of how much an exercise usually burns.

High Protein Low Carbohydrate Diet

This diet is mainly for those who would want to build up some muscle. Do not however confuse this with low carb diets like the Atkins diet. Those kinds of diets is more like an abstinence. I wouldn’t want to recommend those for normal people as it may result to some serious sickness if not done properly.

A high protein diet focuses on the build up of more muscle which will indirectly burn more fat in the long run. When doing this kind of diet, food like chicken and lean meat like steak are highly recommended. Try to lessen your intake of high carb food like rice, potatoes, bread and pasta.

It would also follow to watch your food intake as to not exceed your daily calorie consumption.
