Effective Strategies to Burn Fat Not Muscle

By James Steele


There are a few very fascinating ways in which the body reacts to various things when it comes to keeping muscle mass and losing fat. To give an example, there are people out there who believe that getting rid of their daily fat intake is needed, so the only foods they eat contain no fats at all. All of a sudden the amount of fat they eat drops.

Your body will attempt to hoard fat if you take this approach though. We don't want to do that here as your body will attempt to keep a hold of every last bit of fat on your body. You will find that your body has a natural need for daily fat intake, but just reduce it to sensible levels without being extreme. Below are a few more very helpful tips for burning off fat and not muscle.

When it comes to keeping muscle and burning fat there are two main components. There's your diet that must be taken in a serious way. Then your actual routine for working out must be spot on for a number of reasons. But regarding your diet you'll need to modify a couple of things with carbohydrates, like eliminating any foods that have very high amounts of carbs. But you shouldn't eliminate them altogether from your diet. You can use certain types of carbohydrates in fruits and vegetables to your advantage. When you have eaten them your body will use them for energy purposes, so they won't be converted into fat. Most of us know about the consequences of no fat diets and other such similar diets. Indeed, a few people seem to think they must eliminate all fats from their diet completely. When going down this route you will probably not lose any fat. The body will recognize that fat intake is at zero, so it will try and protect its fat reserves by going into conservation mode. So part of the trick here is to make the body, or brain, think that there is no need at all for fat. It's like the starvation mechanism but flipped the other way, so it's the exact opposite. Your body won't conserve the fat if it realizes that it's not needed. Instead, your body will begin to burn fat and not muscle.

But you really don't have to get rid of them entirely as it's not needed. Another reason to not get rid of carbs altogether is that getting all of your calories from just fats and proteins is rather difficult. It's surprising how quickly and effectively you can lose weight by just reducing your intake of carbohydrates.

Taking out food with high fat content from their diet is something people think they should do. We agree to fat intake up to a point, as you can't do the opposite and eat lots of fatty foods. To stop eating fat completely is a bad idea, you should just eat less high fat foods. The reason has to do with the starvation principle. This phenomenon happens when you starve your body of something, and your body reacts by conserving that which it is being deprived. Totally eliminating all fats from your diet will make your body conserve and store fat even more.

We have had a look at a number of approaches you can take when it comes to keeping your muscle and burning fat. Everything works perfectly fine, just try to apply some common sense with things though.
