To achieve pure weight loss you need to lose the fat in your body. The objective in doing this is to keep the muscle and burn the fat. Below I will lay out how you can keep that lean muscle tissue all while burning fat in a healthy and controlled manner.

I want to start off by saying that you are going to need to do some work. No pill is going to do it for you. Although these pills can help in your battle to lose weight, they should in no way shape or form be the end all to reaching pure weight loss.

I bet you would never guess but there is a secret to sustained fat loss. It comes in the form of a healthy diet and exercise. I know that this is the last thing you wanted to read today. I mean really, most of us would rather pull our toenails out than do a little exercise or diet for that matter. Relax, it is not as bad as you may be thinking, actually it is much easier than you may expect.

I am not telling you to exercise for an hour on the elliptical machine. On the contrary, your body will begin to burn it’s fat stores after 16 minutes, give or take a minute or two. This depends entirely on the conditioning and current shape of the individual. In the first fifteen minutes your body will be utilizing it’s carbohydrate stores. After this point you should continue for a further 15 minutes to make sure your body has burned some of it’s fat stores.

What you need to keep in mind is that you don’t want to burn muscle. The muscle is important because it is what burns the calories. When muscle is lost from the body, it loses it’s ability to burn more calories. It is a good idea to build a little muscle to burn more of the fat. Can you see why crash diets are such a horrible idea now? These diets kill the body’s ability to burn away fat which is exactly what we want.

One last point I want to make is that if the results are not showing up as soon as you want, don’t give up. This is more normal than you would suspect. If your following a pure weight loss regimen involving eating right and exercise to build a little muscle, your body will be exchanging muscle for fat in the early stages. Try to stay positive, you may even notice that your pants fit better even though you haven’t lost any weight.

Another thing you need to consider it to try other things than just aerobic activity. It is a good idea to work a little weight training into the picture also. Weight lifting will boost your metabolism if it begins to level off. Always keep in mind that muscle burns fat.
