Fat Loss: 5 Questions Answered

Fat loss, or weight loss, can be troublesome. Here are 5 questions answered about fat loss.

1. Can sugar make you fat?

Sugar is one of the main causes of excess fat in the body. Sugar leads to excess water retention and fat storage. Because sugar is burned off first, it basically keeps fat from being properly metabolized and burned by the body.

2. What about carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are foods that are naturally sweet and can include anything made with sugar or flour. Sugar and refined carbohydrates are some of the major contributing factors to why people are obese. Excessive carbohydrates will be turned into fat by the body.

3. Will you lose fat quicker if you do not eat breakfast in the morning?

Skipping breakfast will not help you to lose extra weight, but may instead result in muscle loss and a decreased metabolism. This will only delay your ability to burn fat. Studies have shown that people who include a large and healthy breakfast in their diet burn more fat than those who avoid eating breakfast.

Eating breakfast will help to boost your metabolism. Skipping breakfast and waiting lunchtime before you eat will slow down your metabolism. Breakfast can indeed be called the most essential meal of the day.

4. Will eating fewer meals per day help you to lose fat?

No. You can eat regularly when trying to lose fat. The regularity of the meals will tell your body that there is plenty of food available. Therefore your body does not need to store body fat for an emergency situation. Also, if the period between meals is too long, your body may begin to burn off muscle and start storing fat.

5. What foods can you eat to help you burn off excess body fat?

Fat burning foods are foods that, whilst being absorbed, trigger the hormones of your body to burn fat rather than store it. Examples of foods that burn fat are carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and apples. You may want to add these -click here >foods that burn fat to your daily diet.
