Fat reduction is the top goal of both men and women from all walks of life. The problem is most advice is either too confusing - or simply ineffective in the first place. Here are three unconventional, but quite simple, fat loss strategies to help you burn the fat, firm-up, look incredible and feel even better. 1) Although breakfast is important - it DOES NOT have to be eaten first thing in the morning. I don't eat breakfast until 10 or 11 am. And it wasn't until I started doing this that I found it MUCH easier to keep my body fat down in the zone were I feel and look my best. The women and men who adopt this 'meal shifting' tactic love it because it helps them reduce calories and burn more fat by reducing the 'daily window' of calorie consumption. Essentially - by reducing the amount of time, during the day, to ingest calories - it makes it more difficult to ingest too many calories. This 'unconventional' tactic may not be popular with 'by the book' type nutritionists. But the truth is - it works and is quite safe and conservative for most people. And, despite what you may have heard you won't lose any valuable muscle tone - only fat and flab. 2) It's ok to go 4 hours between meals. I know this might go against some things you may have heard from others - such as - "You must eat every two hours or you'll shut down your metabolism." ... but the truth is - your metabolism will not shut down. This is some kind of old 'gym myth' - and just isn't true. Think about it - you are not a machine that needs food every 2 hours, around the clock. The human body is much more intelligent and efficient than that. The human body was created with natural powers of inherent strength and flexibility - one of those being the ability to rely on calories at irregular, non-predetermined intervals which is in-line with nature itself. 3) Believe it or not - you don't have to keep "changing your workouts to shock your body - and stay lean, etc..." - that's another bull$#!t 'gym myth' that simply isn't true. There are women and men who can find a program that works for them, delivers great results - and they can stick with that program forever - maybe with some minor variations. That's it. The ridiculous 'gym terms' such as plateau, sticking point, stale or stagnated - are all 'manufactured' to create more lame excuses for why certain exercise programs don't deliver great, long term results - and to confuse 'fitness seekers' into thinking that fitness success is much more complicated than it actually is. These are only three fitness and fat reduction strategies to help you make progress in your quest for physical improvement.
