New Year Resolution-Burn that fat!

So, have you made your New Year resolution to burn all that excess fat you've been carrying around? If the answer is "no" then please do.

If you've not read my earlier blog: 6 tips for fat loss, do so, this is a take off on that. Now lets get to your diet. Our diet mainly includes carbs (carbohydrates), fats and protein. Each of these are vital to you. The trick is to eat the healthy variety and leave out the unhealthy, junk food.

1. Carbs-These are needed for fueling your body. The best carbs to start of your day are those rich in fiber. These include; oats, brown rice, brown bread, beans, sprouts, asparagus etc to name a few. Cut down on white rice, white bread and refined sugar. Include plenty of fruits in your diet. Remember, more the fiber in your diet, the better.

2. Proteins-this is vital, especially if you are working out with weights. Without the right kind of protein, you just can't build muscle.

3.Fats-not all fat is bad. In fact, they are vital for many cellular processes and hormone production. Even cholesterol and LDL(low-density lipoprotein) are not all that bad as they are made out to be. It is important to get an adequate intake of "essential fats" like Omega 3, abundant in fish oil and flax oil. Avoid saturated or trans fats. So, in addition to fish oil, you can get essential fat from almonds, walnuts, peanut butter etc.

4.Others- It is necessary to get adequate vitamins and supplements like chromium picolinate, a trace mineral, which may work along with a weight training regimen.

Motivation-As long as you are heating healthy and working out to the optimum, you should see the desired results. But it is as important to stay motivated and try out some fat loss program.
