Cardio for fat loss?
.
Not necessary. Although cardio may be an effective way to burn off calories in achieving a total caloric deficit resulting in weight loss but there’s limitation to it. Those who have done it may realise there’s only so much fat they can lose doing cardio alone
.
With a demanding lifestyle and limited free time in a day, I prioritize resistance/strength training only (1 hour at most a session)
.
The most effective way to lose body fat is eating right and lifestyle. In my opinion eating for quality is superior than eating for calories. Practise food as information concept where food you eat nourishes and sets off the right intended hormonal effect as well
.
So why do cardio? If you want to improve your resting heart rate and strengthen your cardiovascular endurance then go for it. I’ve only incorporated running for not more than an hour, 1x a week (every Sunday) recently. Resting heart rate drop from originally 50 (without cardio) to now 40+ (with just 1x cardio session of less than an hour a week)
.
Be clear of the goal then apply the right method to achieve it effectively💪

Tag your #fitness buddy ❤️7 Weight Loss #Tips from Professional Nutritionists & Trainers
1) Drink more water & know when to drink it.
By not giving our #body enough water, it’s natural “defence” system is to retain water. However, note that #drinking water (or any #drinks) during a #meal will slow our #metabolism. Limit #water intake to 30 minutes before a meal.
2) Cut The C.R.A.P.
When getting your groceries, read the #ingredients on the packages & avoid #food containing:
-Chemicals you don’t use in your own kitchen. Words like: azodicarbonamide, carrageenan, potassium bromate, soy isolate, brominated vegetable oil & partially-hydrogenated vegetable oil.
-Refined sugar & flour. Words like: refined flour, enriched wheat, high-fructose corn syrup & anything ending in –ose.
-Artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors. Words like: saccharin, aspartame, acesulfamepotassium, diacetyl,etc.
-Preservatives. Words like: sodium nitrate/nitrite, BHA, TBHQ, BHT, heptyl paraben & propyl gallate.
3) Don’t starve. Ever.
When you stop #eating, your metabolism slows down radically in order to preserve itself from starvation. So when you finally #eat, your metabolism will digest it at much slower rate (because it was exposed to starvation). Any food left unspent as #energy, will go straight to the #fat cells for storage.
4) Throw out all tempting junk food out of the house
5) Strength before #endurance.
Building #muscle is the most effective way to lose fat; the more muscle you have, the more fat will be spent for each day’s activities. With #weightloss, think of it like this: with weights/#strength #training, you are going from point A to point B by car. With only #cardio/#aerobic training, you’re traveling by bike. You’ll get to the #goal, but much slower & with more pain.
6) Avoid liquid calories (i.e. artificially sweetened beverages & fruit juices) because they contain insane amounts of sugar.Stick to water.
7) Forget about cheat days, your reward is getting #fit
It takes 4 weeks to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for your #friends/#family & 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice it. #Dontgiveup. Keep going!
