What To Do If You Want To Burn Fat and Not Muscle

By Cory Taylor


A very curious and fascinating aspect to burning fat and not muscle is how your body reacts to the different things thrown at it. For example, some people think they have to get rid of all dietary fat intake, and so they eat nothing but very lean and fat free foods. There's a quick and very sudden drop in the amount of fats they eat.

The problem with doing this is that your body will store fat. Your body will work hard to keep all of the fat on your body, but this isn't what we're trying to do. You will find that your body has a natural need for daily fat intake, but just reduce it to sensible levels without being extreme. Here are some more great tips to help burn 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. Next up is your workout routine, which has to be spot on for a few reasons. With your diet you'll need to evaluate it and remove any foods that are super high in carbohydrates. But it is very important that you do not completely rid your diet of them. You can use certain types of carbohydrates in fruits and vegetables to your advantage. When you eat them, your body will not convert them to fat because they will be metabolized for energy purposes.

Then you can do cardiovascular training, which will allow you to burn fat not glycogen. So, you should attempt this for some time and then stand back and examine the results.

Most of the time bodybuilders will eat multiple small meals over fewer large ones during the day. Even for those who aren't bodybuilders it's a good approach. There is some flexibility as there are different methods to pick from. The main reason for doing this strategy is that the smaller but more frequent meals will keep the digestive processes running. Many calories will be burnt off by the digestive process as digesting food will use calories. In addition, your stomach will get smaller with the smaller meals. And when your stomach is much smaller you'll end up eating much less.

When you wish to burn your fat and not muscle you should explore all of the available methods to find the best ones. The overall process has a lot of flexibility built into it just because there are many methods that will work well.
