If you lose weight, you automatically burn fat? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. But there are a few little tricks you can use if you want to boost your fat burning.
I have summarized my top tips for you below and will also explain what is really important when losing weight.
An active metabolism is extremely important for optimal fat burning, for which the body needs sufficient energy. It gets this mainly from carbohydrates, fats and proteins, whereby it first uses the most quickly available energy.
When the glycogen stores, i.e. those containing carbohydrates, are empty, energy from body fat is used. To do this, fat is broken down into fatty acids and transported into the fat metabolism. The fatty acids travel to the organs via the bloodstream, where they are broken down and their energy is released.
There are some foods that can help boost fat burning by boosting your metabolism. These include:
To get your metabolism going first thing in the morning, fruits like grapefruit or lemon, for example in water, are a good idea. Alpha-linolenic acid in almonds also ensures a constant fat metabolism, and the gingerol contained in ginger ensures better blood circulation, which can boost fat burning.
My tip for every morning: A liter of lemon water not only provides plenty of fluids, but also the necessary boost for an active metabolism.
You want to boost fat burning and need some support. Here are my best tips to help you do it.
By eating more protein, you can automatically boost fat burning, as the body has to use more energy to break down protein into its individual components. At the same time, energy is used up, which essentially saves you calories. Proteins also support muscle building and increase the feeling of satiety.
You should get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night to not only be fit for the day, but also to boost your fat loss. If we sleep less than seven hours, the body produces more ghrelin, a hormone that is responsible for controlling our feelings of hunger and satiety.
Some foods contain various substances that stimulate fat burning. Of course, you shouldn’t consume them in excessive amounts, but you can try to incorporate them into your daily diet. You can read about these foods further up in the article.
You don’t have to spend an hour on the treadmill every day to burn fat. Instead of just doing lots of cardio, you should do a mix of endurance exercise and strength training. In general, more muscle mass also means more calories burned.
While we’re on the subject of calories, I’d like to finish by reminding you and explaining what’s really important when it comes to losing weight and burning fat. To lose weight, you need a calorie deficit.
This means that you consume fewer calories than you burn during the day. Cardio can help you increase the number of calories you burn during the day, but you cannot decide where and how much fat you burn. Pay attention to our tips and don’t get too fixated on losing fat as quickly as possible.
