Fat loss isn’t under the control of the magic fat loss fairies. It’s based on simple changes in behavior.

Many people think that losing weight is a hit-or-miss endeavor.  That’s because they haven’t followed a PROVEN system.

Why use a system?  Because with a system the results are repeatable.  Different people on the same system can achieve the same results.

That’s the idea behind my Unstoppable Fitness Formula – repeatable, fast, and effective results for YOU.

Today I’m going to hook you up with 7 RESEARCH PROVEN weight loss tips – because weight loss shouldn’t be a guessing game…

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER ONE:

LOW FAT DIETS ARE JUST TOO HARD

An 8-year women’s health study involving 49,000 participants was set up to examine the effects of a low fat diet on health and fitness.

The women were supposed to follow a diet with 20% of the calories coming from fat.  The only problem was…

No one was able to follow the diet!

They got too hungry and ended up eating at least 30% of their calories from fat.

Low fat diets are just too hard to stick to.  Luckily, you don’t need to follow a low fat diet.  Instead, focus on controlling your carbohydrate intake.

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER TWO:

INTERVALS BURN 900% MORE BELLY FAT

A huuuge mistake people make when it comes to weight loss is to assume that your body only burns calories during your workout.

Well, if your workout is designed correctly, you raise your metabolism and keep burning calories AFTER your workout.

A study by Tremblay showed that using interval training (alternating hard and easy) burns 900% more fat than traditional aerobic training (steady-state).

The intervals get your body buning calories for up to 39 hours after your workout.

That means if you do intervals during your bootcamp at 6am on Monday, you’re still burning calories from that workout on Tuesday at lunchtime.

Plus, they take much less time!  Intervals only take a few minutes of each workout, so you don’t have to spend hours on a boring treadmill!

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER THREE:

EAT MORE AND LOSE MORE WEIGHT ON LOW CARB DIETS

A review study published in 2006 compared several long-term low fat and low carb diet studies.

After 6 months the low carb group had lost significantly more weight.

And this is really interesting to me…

After 12 months both groups had lost the same amount of weight.

The difference is that the low fat groups drastically cut calories while the low carb groups didn’t really focus on calories at all, just on lowering carbs.

If you follow a low carb approach you can eat more while losing more weight.  Win-win.

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER FOUR:

SUGAR DURING YOUR WORKOUT IS GOOD

There are all sorts of benefits to drinking a fast-absorbing carb/protein drink during your workout.

A good workout drink increases fat loss, decreases illness, reduces soreness, prevents osteoporosis, and all sorts of other good things.

But here’s what we’re interested in today: Dr. Steven Bird found that having sugar during your workout keeps you from losing any muscle even while you’re on a very low calorie diet!

The big concern with being on a diet is losing lean, toned muscles.  The good news is I’ve found that exercising and drinking a workout shake while you’re on your diet not only stops muscle loss, it can even help you tone up more!

That means your body fat percentage will get lower even FASTER!

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER FIVE:

LOWERING CARBS CHANGES THE RULES

In 2006 the American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition published a study that had been designed to find out the effects of low carb diets on cardiovascular risk factors.  When you lower your carbs you will also lower your risk of heart disease, but here’s what’s really powerful if you’re interested in losing weight…

When you lower your carbohydrate intake, your body starts metabolizing fat differently!  Sweet!

The researchers found changes all the way down to the genetic level.  Lowering carbs changes the rules.

You can eat more saturated fats without negatively affecting your health.

You also lose more weight faster and easier.

The bottom line is that cutting out carbs changes your body’s biochemistry and makes weight loss far, far easier.

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER 6:

YOUR ESSENTIAL WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENT

Forget miracle juices and pills based on the latest herb or berry, the humble fish oil is the best weight loss supplement out there.

Fish oil can raise your metabolism on its own, but pairing it with diet and exercise will MULTIPLY your results.

Fish oil decreases carbohydrate cravings, turns OFF fat-storing mechanisms, and turns ON fat-burning machinery in your body.

Why aren’t you taking more fish oil?

RESEARCH PROVEN WEIGHT LOSS TIP NUMBER 7:

GO BEYOND DIET AND EXERCISE

Nutrition is numero uno when it comes to weight loss, and exercise is number two.

Something called the Lifestyle Heart Trial found that adding in meditation and relaxation techniques as well as group support sessions during the week made the weight loss plan more effective and easier to stick to.

So find a quiet place and relax for a while.  Then find POSITIVE friends to help you along your weight loss path.

That’s it for today, 7 research proven weight loss tips.

All of these and much, MUCH more will be covered in my next nutrition seminar, where I’ll reveal the EXACT system I use with my clients to get them such great results.
