Loosing weight vs. burning fat


Having all my not-norwegian-speaking readers, I would like to translate for you really good article from Norwegian site Fitnessbloggen.no which originally can be found here: http://fitnessbloggen.no/reduser-fettprosent/

It is a really essence of this what it is about burning fat, loosing weight, dieting and so on. 


To loose weight (lower the number on a scale), you should:


1. Decrease the amount of kcal you are eating daily (the less calories, the lower weight)
2. Do periodical fasting (it is a method of dieting where you eat 2-3 big meals and than not eating at all for continuosing 12 or more hours until next deload)
3. Decrease intake of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potato, sweets (cutting out carbs might pomote better weight loosing due to lower water accumulation).
4. Use medical solutions (like prescribed pills which are stopping your hunger etc.)
5. Buy training shoes and move, the more the better.
6. Jump from one diet to another without any rest days between

But if you are really interested in loosing/burning fat, not only decreasing the number on your scale, you should:



1. Increase consumption of vegetables (they are filling and at the same time good source of vitamins and minerals).
2. Use omega 3 supplements on a daily basic (it works in favour for your immune system and synthesis of protein).
3. Do intensive interval trainings. They will help you with oxygen intake and increase your fatburn).

4. Eat more proteins. They are filling, increasing fatburn and will protect your muscles mass from breaking while dieting.

5. Do from 2 til 4 times resistance trainings (weight training in the gym) in a week.
6. Try to eat a little less than normally each day. Moderate energy deficit will help you with long lasting fat loosing.
7. Find a training partner. Workout buddy will keep you motivated.
