Few Fat loss tips for women. Do your cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. As it has been about eight hours since your last meal, you will begin to use body fat as an energy source earlier than you would after a meal (when there is glycogen in your muscles and liver). Weight train at least three times a week. Muscle is active which means it burns energy at rest. Fat does not do this. This means that if you increase muscle and reduce body fat, you metabolism will increase (the rate at which your body uses energy). Eat six small meals a day to keep your metabolism high. Its like continually stoking a fire to keep it burning. If you do not do stoke your body with food every three to four hours, the fire (metabolism) dies out Drink at least two litres of water every day. Your body cannot perform properly (including breaking down fat) unless it is well hydrated Drink a protein shake immediately after training. This is an essential part of the recovery process and will help you tone up and lose body fat. Read food labels carefully. You will often be surprised at the contents of some of your favourite foods. Low-fat dairy products are a good example - a number of brands are full of sugar (look at the carbohydrate level). Reduce stress. Stress can increase cortisol levels, which will reduce your bodys ability to use stored body fat, and can also result in fluid retention. So, take some time out to relax, recover and pamper yourself. Get enough sleep. Everyone is different, but most of us need between six and eight hours of sleep a night to perform at our best. Research has shown that inadequate sleep can also affect body composition - so all those late nights might actually be making you fat!
