Nutrition Tips

Rip it Good – 18 Nutrition & Supplement Tips For Effective Fat Burning

F.V. Team

Tips For Effective Fat Burning

Effectively decreasing body fat while maintaining muscle mass is more complex than implementing one or two fat-burning strategies. Many bodybuilders simply cut carbs and start taking a fat burner when they go on a program to shed body fat. Knowing how to make the most of supplementation, diet, and training, however, can dramatically impact the ability to shed body fat.
Diet Tips

Consider integrating several of these fat-burning strategies into your next ripping-up phase.

1. Use a Thermogenic Product

There are many different types of “fat burner” supplements on the market, but perhaps the most popular and effective category is thermogenic. Thermogenics work by boosting the body’s metabolism. That is, you burn more calories during a given activity, even if you’re just sitting on your butt watching Pumping Iron again. Most products achieve this effect by increasing norepinephrine (a neurotransmitter that the nervous system releases; it is basically a form of adrenaline). Synephrine is one supplement that raises norepinephrine. Try doses of five to 20 milligrams (mg), from a standardized Citrus aurantium extract, once or twice daily for a maximum of 40 mg per day.

2. Take a Fat Mobilizer


You not only want to burn more calories but also to make sure that many of those calories come from stored body fat. Certain supplements help to encourage fat to leave their hideaways (fat cells) and get burned for fuel. Forskolin is derived from the mintlike herb Coleus forskohlii. It activates fat breakdown from within fat cells. Supplements that deliver 20-50 mg of actual forskolin, taken two or three times per day, might do the trick. Caffeine also works well to get exercising muscles to use more fat. Take 200-400 mg an hour or two before workouts.

3. Use an Appetite Suppressant

Fat BurningTo shed more body fat, you have to eat less there is no way around it. The good news is that there are supplements that can help blunt hunger pangs and keep you from binging. Simmondsin is a jojoba extract that can dramatically blunt appetite by stimulating the production of cholecystokinin, a hormone that increases feelings of satiety.

Try doses of 100-500 mg on an empty stomach, one to three times per day.

4. Try a Thyroid Enhancer

Seven-keto is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the hormone that forms testosterone. By increasing the production of thyroid hormones, 7-keto increases metabolic rate. Try 100-200 mg of 7-keto DHEA per day in two or three divided doses.

5. Take Healthy Fats

Healthy fatsHealthy fats are beneficial to dieters, whether the fats come in supplement or whole-food form. Supplements include essential fatty acids from fish oil or flaxseed oil. Take two to four grams (g) of fish oil or a tablespoon or two of flaxseed oil daily.

For whole-food sources, rely on avocados; nuts and seeds; fatty fish, such as salmon; and healthy oils, such as olive and canola.

6. Eat Multiple Meals a Day

Eat multiple meals a dayEach time you consume a meal, your metabolic rate rises as your body processes the food. The more meals you eat daily, the higher your total metabolic rate. This method of eating also provides your body with an influx of energy and nutrients, helping to keep your body chemistry stabilized until the next meal so that it doesn’t tear down muscle mass to produce needed nutrients. Strive for six or more meals a day spread two or three hours apart.

7. Consume Fewer Calories at Each Meal

If you’re eating more meals, you must reduce the number of calories consumed at each one to prevent taking in more calories than before you started your diet. Strive for fewer total calories than you need for maintenance to encourage your body to tap into body fat stores for energy. See #3 on taking simmondsin to blunt your appetite.

8. Increase Vegetable & Fruit Consumption

Increase vegetable and fruit consumptionFruits and vegetables are high in fiber and in water. In addition, each fruit and vegetable provides a unique nutrient profile. Vegetables are particularly good for dieters because of their very low-calorie counts. Fruits are relatively low in calories but generally, contain more carbs. While dieting, limit fruit consumption to a piece or two a day. Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, are essentially “free foods” for dieters, and they can be eaten in large quantities throughout the day.

You don’t need to count them against your total carb count.
