Weight loss is ultimately about managing, regulating and even to some extent manipulating your hormones. You lose or gain weight based on your body’s hormonal predisposition. The following weight loss and exercise tips will regulate your hormones so they put and keep your body in a fat burning state; allowing you to lose body fat fast and easily.

Carb Controlled Diet & HIITs

The first and most effective diet tip is to go for a carbohydrates controlled diet. Specifically eliminate all highly processes carbs like white four and sugar. That means lose the white bread, cakes, sodas and sweets. Of course you consume them once in a while, but for the most part they should rarely feature on your diet.

Calories provided by carbohydrates sources have not only a carny ability to end as fat compared to calories from other food groups; but also tends to spark off hunger signals faster than other food sources.

This is because carbohydrates spark of the production of insulin in the blood. 

This happens because carbs are digested and absorbed as glucose or blood sugar. Insulin on the other hand is the hormone that controls blood sugar.

Insulin controls blood sugar by removing excess glucose from blood. One of the ways it does this is by converting glucose into body fat. 

This process in primarily peculiar to calories from carbohydrate sources.

The complimenting exercises strategy to this diet tip is to use High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) as your exercise routine. 

Unlike slow cardio that tends to use as much as 70% body fat for energy, HIITs use nearly 100% glucose for energy.

This then means that HITTs can help you keep a healthy level of blood glucose.

This inturn means that your body will keep a low concentration of insulin. And with insulin low, your body will not be storing body fat and will also be very responsive to losing body fat.

A low glycemic index diet and HIITs is literally a one-two punch that will push your weight loss to faster results.

A second combination of weight loss and exercises tips is use of short term fasting combined with full body workouts.

Fasting & Resistance Training

Many understand any fasting for weight loss as a fad tactic. However short term fasting or what is also called Intermittent Fasting is a scientifically proven strategy for losing weight.

Fat loss has been proven to happen in the presence of a hormone called Growth Hormone or GH in short. This hormone is associated with elevated metabolism as ell as the breakdown of body fat into fatty acid. These fatty acids are then released into the blood and become available for use as energy. This is what is often called "Fat Burning".

Fasting for 24 hrs has been shown to lead to an increase of GH in the blood. Twenty four hours seems to be the more optimal length for getting maximum benefits in losing weight; hence short term fasting. Longer than 24 hrs can reverse your gain as your body switches into starvation mode.

Similarly effective in promoting GH in your body is resistance training. In particular here we favor full body workouts. This is because each workout aims to exercise all your body muscles. This allows you to have highly effective workouts just 3 times a week.

Resistance training exerts your muscles leading to a condition called protein turnover. This is a state in your body where your proteins particularly muscles are being broken down and then built again. This process lead to promotion of GH which helps in the process of building up the muscles again.

This process is so energy intensive that your body metabolism is raised significantly. Your metabolism can stay elevated for 24 to 48 hrs after such a workout.

Combining fasting and resistance training is another effective one-two punch for losing weigh fat. This is because…
