The real fat burning zone

The fat burning zone is sometimes thought to be the main fuel of fat in the exercise intensity. 65 of your maximum heart rate (weights room and two variations of traditional cardio intensity achieved) per cent of the body, the easier it turns carbohydrates for energy than at higher concentrations learns to break down fat cells.

Kicker: - According to the American College of Sports Medicine, the cost of energy of between six and 15 per cent of the total workout adding more calories to your high intensity in the next 24 hours to keep the calorie burn.

How to become a fat burner

Rule number one: a caloric deficit. "It's all down to power versus energy out of that comes at the end of the day," said Towersey Alexa celebrity personal trainer.

But not necessarily low in calories does not equate to a high-fat loss. 18 per cent (the most recent research at the University of mastric a diet of 500 calories a day for 12 weeks, five weeks, one day is equal to 1,250 calories a food has been shown to result in weight loss, but from a much higher percentage of lean muscle mass and 7.7 percent, respectively).

On top of this, macronutrients you need to adjust your preference for fat burning. "You need to eat fat to burn fat," Towersey said. "Lots of people who go on diets to reduce their carbohydrate but does not raise fats, and you start to feel really crappy when the two energy sources, and the body starts burning muscle for fuel." Maintaining a double negative, considering the lean muscle metabolism and a 'skinny fat' aesthetic is vital for avoiding the two.

The body, if the composition of the target, you do not want to consume high amounts of both," Towersey said.

People are often the first negative experiences of the body to remove carbohydrates from their diet depends on the individual to come into effect in the first few weeks of fat metabolism through a take a few days to find out how effective it is - for the first three or four days are usually very lethargic," Towersey said. "If you're training on body composition, should the recovery, or the performance, but in the training you need to ask yourself," Towersey said.

PRO TIP: It's a cardio session or before, even though it might be tempting to add your cheat days, carbs, fat-burning zone, the number one rule is consistency. "Cheat" on the weekends, "frequently, especially Beginners clients, would be very damaging," Towersey said. If you are not yet familiar with using your body fat for fuel ", during the week, any short-term gains can be canceled over the two days to cheat. In order to switch back to the body metabolically is not yet efficient enough fat-burning mode best suited to come Monday at."
