This has been an eventful month. I'm another year older and spent my birthday in Branson, Missouri acting like I was twelve again.

 

Burn Fat

How do I burn fat? That's the primary question everyone is plagued with. Body fat is very easy to gain and seems to be a chore to get rid of. Our bodies are designed for survival and your body will do almost anything to hold on to fat for times of famine. Your body would rather burn muscle before fat, but this is not what you want. You can change this stone aged process by tricking the body from time to time.

There is a lot that goes into the fat burning process. It's a combination of proper nutrition, adequate water intake, resistance training, and cardiovascular exercise. You have to implement each strategically to rid fat and build muscle.

In this article, I will focus on mainly the carbohydrate end and how to use them to your benefit.

• Eat Quality Carbohydrates – Quality carbohydrates are those from Mother Nature, such as oats, rice, potatoes, fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed carbohydrates, such as flavored rice, flavored oatmeal, and other boxed or canned items. Processed carbohydrates can prevent fat loss and actually cause fat gain in the long run.

• Eat Non-Starchy Vegetables Before Bed - Lower your complex and starchy carbohydrates at the end of the day, and eat more non-starchy vegetables. There is really no point in eating a high complex carbohydrate meal if you are going to bed, as carbohydrates are fuel for activity.

• Limit Dairy and Bread – Dairy and bread are processed and won't aid a great deal in losing stubborn body fat. In fact, they could hinder fat loss and in the long run, cause fat gain. It's best to limit or avoid these for maximum fat loss benefit. You will never see a bodybuilder eating bread and drinking milk on a pre-contest program.

• Freshly Squeezed Juice Only – Many love their juice in the mornings, but fail to realize that it contains as much sugar as a soda. As healthy as it may seem , it's actually empty calories. You would be better off making your own juice from freshly squeezed fruits and vegetables.

I know the low carbohydrate frenzy is still in high gear, but if you implement them properly you can have them and lose weight. It's all in the type, quality, and amount consumed. Just check out the many success stories on my Web site and they will tell you that they are losing fat and gaining muscle by eating balanced meals of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

It was a VERY close contest and the 7th judge broke the tie. Both contestants worked equally hard and got phenomenal results, and both received a wonderful prize package for their work and dedication. I am so proud of them and hope they continue their success and make their dreams come true. Hat's off to you girls!
