Need to know how to lose body fat? Plan, plan, plan. Too many people want to get onto the quick fix without thinking it through carefully. Losing body fat is all about preparing and planning your way to success. Take the time to think through your fat loss journey carefully. And to do that you must know a few things. Here are 5 basic tips on how to lose body fat for good:

1. Forget Low Fat Fat is necessary to feel full, and to slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. Before the low fat nonsense of the last few decades, fat was seen as healthy, and carbohydrates as the cause of obesity. Earlier generations described the ideal diet as one one with ‘plenty of eggs, beef, chicken, butter and vegetables’. This way, you can prevent obesity, snacking and excessive sugar consumption - and you can forget about low fat diets - just be smart about it.

2. Stay away from Sodas, diet sodas, energy drinks and any sugary drinks. They have no nutritional value - just full of sugar and corn syrup. Sodas have been linked to childhood and adult diabetes. And it is also murder on your teeth. All that sugar causes cavities. Just drink water, smoothies or fresh juice to freshen you up.

3. Be honest about why you’re doing things. Many fickle eaters are actually trying to lose weight and grab onto any plan they think will help. Just find a sensible long term plan and stick to it.

4. Take magnesium This is critical for weight loss because it improves insulin response. Therefore, it will reduce the risk of sugar cravings and emotional eating.

5. Drink GREEN TEA Drinking green tea daily will boost your metabolism. Studies have shown that the antioxidants in green tea can cause the body to waste calories as heat, which increases your caloric burning.
