If you want to lose weight you need to follow a few simple rules. These simple rules will be outlined in this article so read it until the end to learn more. Surfing the net for information about how to lose weight and get in shape takes time and is not easy either. There is both a lot of mis-information and people trying to take your hard earned money through selling you some kind of crazy course that wouldn't work in a lifetime for the average person. If you read a book such as fat burning furnace you'll soon learn that getting in shape comes down to 3 simple rules that read as follows: 1. Get on a intense strength training program. This means that you should be lifting weights 3 times per week for 30 minutes at least or doing some kind of bodyweight exercises to increase your lean muscle mass. 2. Get on an intense cardio program. This means that you should be running, biking or doing some other kind of cardio 2-5 times per week for 20 minutes or more. I know, this kind of sucks, since it would be more fun to just eat less, but that usually won't give you the results you are looking for so adding in the cardio component will be crucial to your success. 3. Get on a clean and balanced diet program. You diet program should also be altered in the right direction You need a lot of good proteins, carbs and healthy fats to lose weight. These should be eaten every 2-3 hours making your daily meal count about 5-8 smaller meals. The meals should all have good sources of protein, carbs and healthy fats such as omega-3! As you can see, these rules are pretty standard when it comes to a weight loss program, but fat burning furnace is no different. This is how it works. These few rules are the "secrets" or basics 101. Call it what you want. Obviously it would be awesome with a little more info on each idea, but that is where the additional information comes in. How do we exercise and what exercises should I do? What kind of foods are healthy foods? What should I be eating and how do I prepare my food? What days should I perform cardio and is playing basketball good cardio, etc? All these questions are valid weight loss questions and it's time you got the answer so you can finally start dropping pounds!
