If you’re looking for the most effective exercise and diet routine which melts fat as fast as possible, then take a look at these tips which will boost your results in no time.
Don’t Obsessively Weigh Yourself

Even though it can be frustrating to work hard without seeing the scale budge, how you feel should be more valuable.
Ease Into a Diet Slowly
Rather than diving head first into a starvation diet, get there gradually. A lot of people do too much too quickly, and as a result burnout on their diets.
The best way to stay committed to your new diet is to ease into it slowly.
Intermittent Fasting
Human bodies are complex things derived from our ancestors. They are designed to store as much energy from food as possible to prepare for times of food scarcity. Our body will adjust its metabolism based on how many calories it takes in regularly.
In order to outsmart your body, fast for short periods of time between sixteen and twenty-four hours. Your body will believe that it’s starving, and burn its reserve fat. When you eat the same amount every day, your body will slow your fat burn down.
By varying your caloric intake every few days you can trick your body into thinking it’s about to starve. Eating higher calories on some days and fewer calories on other days will help keep your metabolism up.
The reason for this lies in the hormone leptin which is directly related to your eating habits. Leptin is a hunger regulator in our body to keep humans from starving or overeating.
Over the centuries leptin has become very effective at keeping us from going starving. However, humans seem to have more problem with overeating.
Weight Training
While cardio is a great way to burn fat, weight training is also crucial. The more muscle that you have, the more calories that your body burns just staying alive every day.
Even if you aren’t focused on getting ripped, and only care about losing fat, you should still weight train. As a result, you’ll reduce the chances of the weight you lose being muscle.
