5 Simple fat loss habits of healthy people

Being conscious about your daily eating habits is essential to natural fat loss that is both effective and long-lasting. Here are five fat loss habits of healthy people:

1. Truly healthy people do not ‘diet’

Avoiding the latest diet trend is the first step to powerful and lasting fat loss. Popular diets that put emphasis on consuming high amounts of one food item and avoiding essential macronutrients will only set you up to fail. Restricting calories and essential nutrients on fad diets leads to a decrease in strength, bone density, and muscle mass. The reduction in muscle mass is especially important because muscle mass is your body’s number one fat burner.

2. Chew your food and take your time

Chewing your food properly is the key to eating less and digesting it more easily, two properties that lead to powerful fat loss benefits.

3. TV siphons hours from your life, and increases your body fat

Nearly 30 percent of people who watch more than four hours of TV a day have a BMI of 30 or higher due to inactivity and unhealthy snacking.

4. Protein equals a supercharged metabolism

Research shows that a breakfast high in protein can boost metabolism for up to 12 hours after consumption. Studies have also found that those who consume a breakfast rich in protein experience more appetite control. This also extends throughout the day, cutting unnecessary food consumption.  Simply eating more protein at the start of your day can have natural metabolism-boosting effects.

5. Healthy people exercise correctly

Incorporating High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) into your exercise routine will burn fat for more than 24 hours after its completion, whereas the fat burning effects of traditional cardio end upon completion. Weight training is also essential for sustainable fat loss. Even women should be working with weights 3-4 times per week, as muscle mass is a very powerful fat burner that works 24/7 even when you are not physically active.
