Part 2 – Boosting Fat Burning Outside The Gym

Before I start giving some tips to boost fat burning. Please understand that these will only provide you with a extra 1% fat burning ability. You still have to train insane & work your ass of in the kitchen. Hope these help.

Tips for fat loss –

Walk fasted in the mornings for one hour with 1/2 cups of green tea + plenty of water. Example – Delay breakfast & eat when you arrive in work. Don’t leave it to late breakfast is a vital meal. Just delay it if possible.

Train hard 3/4 times per week. Don’t over do it this will only hinder our fat loss.

Eat post-workout meal 30-45 minutes following exercise, not before this. Again just delay this meal don’t abandan it.

Eat real food. De-stress. Walk – fitbit user if your not getting 12000 plus steps per day time to ditch the car.
