How to Increase Fat Loss While Dieting  

Recharging your metabolism will help speed up the weight loss process. In addition to boosting your metabolism, the following will help rid fat from the body at a faster rate:

1. Boost your activity level which will in turn, boost your metabolism rate, which will in turn boost weight loss.

2. Keep in mind that the fat in the body requires a lot of persuasion in ridding it from the body.  Depending on a person's current body make-up, stored fat isn't even burned until several minutes into an exercise routine.

3. First, the immediate energy is burned during activity.  Once that has been used, the body pulls from the fat stored in the fat cells.

4. Work on those muscles because muscle burns more calories than fat.

Basal Metabolic Rate & Quick Weight Loss

Keep in mind that although you want to lose weight rapidly, you also need to lose weight safely.

The dieter can do a lot to speed up the rate of weight loss, but there is a limit as to what can be accomplished in the rate of speed that the weight is lost.

One of the best methods from dropping unwanted pounds fast while improving overall health is to closely monitor the amount of unhealthy fat intake. The two most unhealthy fats are saturated and trans.

How to Retain Good Health While Losing Excess Body Fat

Persistently pursue your diet plan! At the beginning of most any diet plan, the dieter is thrilled to see an almost immediate big drop on the weight scales.

Unfortunately, that's more likely water, than fat.

The good news is that through persistent dieting, increased activity and savvy meal planning, fat can be blasted from the body and that new, leaner body will take on a new, leaner shape.

Fast Fat Weight Loss & Diet Tips

Keep in mind that although you want to lose weight rapidly, you also need to lose weight safely. The dieter can do a lot to speed up the rate of weight loss, but there is a limit as to what can be accomplished in the rate of speed that the weight is lost.

A two-pound per week weight loss is very desirable and you should pat yourself on the back whenever you accomplish that!

Here are a few more dieting tips that may be helpful to your current diet plan:

* Trim visible fat from meats.

* Enjoy thinner slices of the foods you love.

* Incorporate more activity into your daily life.

* Enjoy raw fruits and vegetables for snacks.

* Make use of butter and sugar substitutes as well as no calorie cooking sprays.

The Most Popular Foods Containing Saturated Fat

Cheese is extremely high in unhealthy fat. One slice may equal 13.1% of the recommended level of daily saturated fat consumption. This percentage will of course differ for different varieties and brands of cheese.

As you probably guessed, beef is also very high in saturated fat and represents 12% per three cooked ounces of the daily recommendation.

Percentage of Daily Recommendation

Let's see other foods & their percentages:

Milk = 8% per cup, whole milk.
Oil = 5%, 1 Tablespoon.
Ice Cream, sherbet, frozen yogurt, cakes, cookies, quick breads, doughnuts and butter = about 5% per recommended serving.

Mayo, poultry, margarine, sausage, potato chips, corn chips, popcorn, yeast bread and eggs range from 2.5% to 3.7% per recommended serving size - very little variance.
