How to burn fat fast is a question that burns anyone who has any weight to lose. Two ways to burn fat fast are: speedy-burn and crash-burn.

Some weight loss psychology experts aver that our bodies have learnt to set silent "fat set-points" that they then use as "danger-level" indicators. When weight drops to below that level, our bodies tenaciously start hanging on to protective fat!

So the more you try to lose weight, the more resistant your body becomes. How to burn fat fast then becomes an issue of contention with your own body.

To take this point further, it appears that sudden weight loss diets and sudden over-energetic exercise bursts are also perceived by the body as threats to peace and security.

So that could be one explanation why crash diets and crash exercise binges don't work at all. If our bodies see these as "crash-points" why would they not double up on the fat stores the minute we stop or slow down the exercise ... just in case we start the “trauma” again.

In learning how to burn fat fast we have to first learn the psychology of the mind-body connection. What the mind sees as ideal and possible, the body may choose to see as a threat.

In my book, I have outlined a walking-based program to create a body that is “re-trained” as quickly as possible to become a dynamic speedy-burn machine, more and more naturally efficient at disposing unwanted calories.

We also want a body that does not get unnaturally over-protective of its excess fat stores, anticipating “crash-burn” stress.

Walking, being a natural and gentler body process, does not pose a “crash-threat” to the body. The body’s resistance to change is therefore much less.

That’s why walking may work faster than most other types of exercise and help the body keep its ideal weight and fat burning tempo over the long term.

The ultimate idea behind how to burn fat fast is to get the walking to:

a. Jump-start the body’s own fat burning process, so the body will then take over its functions at the optimum speed, without demanding more and more effort from the exercise itself.

b. Give the body less reason to feverishly protect its fat stores. And definitely not add to the body's fat stores through giving it additional fears of "exercise stress"!

It often comes as a great surprise to many of us that actually some forms of crash-workouts induce exactly the opposite effect on the body than the one we hope for.

Whereas a "non-threatening" exercise form like walking works wonders -- and right from the start. Since walking is part of our natural daily activity, it feels like nothing out of the way, or a strain to do. It does not instigate resistance.

It goes along with the body's own smarter internal instincts of how to burn fat fast -- which are superior to many of our theories of fat burn.

It's a fine thin line between the achievable ideal of "rapid weight loss" (speedy-burn) and the impossible dream of "immediate weight loss" (crash-burn). Knowing that difference is knowing the secret of how to burn fat fast!

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Fat Burning... 5 Fitness Myths That Are Responsible For Thousands of Fitness Failures Unfortunately, many people are misinformed and are also misled by the many promises of the weight loss industry. Everywhere you look, you see or hear of people promising “Dramatic Weight Loss” with products such as “The Fat Trapper”, or “Exercise in a Bottle”. Then you also have the hundreds of diets out there such as “The Zone”, “Sugar Busters” or “The Atkins Diet”. I’m sure you have heard of many of these yourself. You might have even tried some of them. Unfortunately, these products and diets are not the quick fix, or the miracles they are portrayed as. They are also usually very dangerous. Below are some common misconceptions among people with regard to exercise and nutrition. 1. You need to exercise to burn fat. The truth is you don’t gain body fat because of a lack of exercise. You gain it because your blood sugar levels exceed what you are using. Basically, you are eating too many calories at one time. 2. Your metabolism slows down once you hit 30. WRONG! Actually, hundreds of research studies have shown that the slow down in metabolism is due to a loss of muscle tissue. And the loss of muscle tissue is directly related to a lack of hard physical activity! 3. Pasta and bread are fattening. Anything is fattening! Lettuce can be stored as fat! Any food or drink, which contains calories, can be stored as body fat if it causes your blood sugar levels to exceed what the body needs at that time. Bread and pasta are actually great sources of complex carbohydrate! The key is how much you eat and when you eat it. 4. Eating after 7pm will make you fat. Absolutely false! It all depends on whether or not the body needs that amount of calories at that time. Keep in mind your body is constantly burning calories, 24 hours per day, just the...
