To achieve pure weight loss you need to lose the fat in your body. The objective in doing this is to keep the muscle and burn the fat. Below I will lay out how you can keep that lean muscle tissue all while burning fat in a healthy and controlled manner.

I want to start off by saying that you are going to need to do some work. No pill is going to do it for you. I am not saying that these pills don’t have their place, you just need not focus solely on them as a means to lose weight.

I am sure you don’t know this but there is a way to achieve permanent weight loss. It comes in the form of a healthy diet and exercise. Listen, I realize this is not what you wanted to hear. I mean really, most of us would rather pull our toenails out than do a little exercise or diet for that matter. Relax, it is not as bad as you may be thinking, actually it is much easier than you may expect.

I am not telling you to exercise for an hour on the elliptical machine. On the contrary, your body will begin to burn it’s fat stores after 16 minutes, give or take a minute or two. This depends entirely on the conditioning and current shape of the individual. In the first fifteen minutes your body will be utilizing it’s carbohydrate stores. After this point you should continue for a further 15 minutes to make sure your body has burned some of it’s fat stores.

The thing that you need to focus on as well is to keep the muscle you already have. The muscle is important because it is what burns the calories. As your body loses muscle, so does it’s ability to burn more calories. It is a good idea to build a little muscle to burn more of the fat. This is why crash diets are a terrible idea. These diets kill the body’s ability to burn away fat which is exactly what we want.

Let me just state that if you are not getting the results you desire quickly, do not let yourself get down. This is more normal than you would suspect. If your following a pure weight loss regimen involving eating right and exercise to build a little muscle, your body will be exchanging muscle for fat in the early stages. Try to stay positive, you may even notice that your pants fit better even though you haven’t lost any weight.

One other thing you should consider is to utilize other forms of exercise besides aerobic’s. It is a good idea to work a little weight training into the picture also. Weight training can revive your metabolism if or when it slows down. Always keep in mind that muscle burns fat.
