Although there is no single transformational ‘magic bullet’ strategy to boost fat burning, the following 5 strategies can improve your odds and help your overall health in the process:<br /><br />1. Boost your Lean Body Mass (LBM)<br /><br />There are few basic principles of human metabolism and physiology that are agreed on by all nutrition and medical professionals. One of them is that muscle mass is more metabolically active than white (vs. brown) fat mass—the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day at rest. The single most effective way to increase LBM is through growing the size of muscle with resistance or strength training and through high intensity workouts. Of course, in order to build muscle, you need to consciously maintain an adequate intake of protein – increased LBM goes hand-in-hand with increased protein needs. If you’re following the Keto Diet, your intake of protein should ideally be spread out throughout the day so as to minimize its impact on blood sugar and ketone levels.<br /><br />2. Increase your ‘Brown Fat’ Mass<br /><br />Brown fat, despite being fat itself, has the unique ability to reduce the type of white fat commonly referred to as body fat, by activating a process known as thermogenesis, which increases the body’s energy expenditure. Brown fat is able to increase energy expenditure because each brown fat cell contains more fat-burning and energy-producing mitochondria. Once considered to be a physiological trait among only infants and young children, research has recently revealed that adults also have small (but physiologically significant) reserves of brown fat in the neck and shoulders. The amount of adult brown fat is highly variable and is inversely related to their body mass index (BMI). One of the easiest ways to boost brown fat is to increase your exposure to a cold environment. So aside from an ice bath or standing outside in the cold this winter, the following are three practical ways to boost metabolically active brown fat and increase fat-burning:<br /><br />Eat foods rich in L-Arginine: This amino acid, abundant in dairy, poultry, fish, and nuts and seeds, is known to stimulate mitochondrial growth and brown fat development, favoring fat loss and a reduced growth of white fat cells.<br />“Shake-on the Spices”: Chili Pepper, Piperine, Ginger, Cinnamon, and Turmeric. The active compounds (polyphenols) in each of these spices—Capsaicin, Piperine, Cinnamaldehyde, Gingerol, and Curcuminoids have been shown to activate the fat-and energy-burning mechanism in brown fat cells and reduce body fat. Although the fat-burning effect of each of these spices is likely only temporary, eating these spicy foods on a regular basis will have cumulative benefits.<br />Enjoy your tea and coffee. Similar to spices, the compounds caffeine and catechins in both coffee and green tea have been shown to briefly rev up the metabolism. Consuming these compounds throughout the day will help add to their fat-burning impact.<br />3. Drink more water!<br /><br />Staying well-hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water throughout the day can boost your body’s metabolic rate and help you lose weight faster. A 16-oz (i.e. average size of a water bottle) serving of water consumed before meals has also been shown to reduce overall meal-time calorie consumption8.<br /><br />4. Turn your Gut into a Fat-Burning Machine<br /><br />There are approximately 100 trillion microorganisms residing in our GI tract at any given time, giving new meaning to, and an appreciation for, the term ’gut health’. An imbalance between the ‘healthy bacteria’ and ‘bad bacteria’ in our gut is linked to numerous health issues, including obesity. The good news is that ‘good’ bacteria, or probiotics, can restore the natural balance of our gut bacteria and have a major impact on our general health – including our ability to lose weight and burn more fat. The following are two ways to boost your body’s beneficial bacteria and help get you on track to better overall health:<br /><br />Make Friends With Fiber: Dietary fiber, specifically soluble fiber, provides fuel for the growth of healthy gut bacteria. By feeding on the soluble fiber, these ‘probiotic’ bacteria produce end-products that not only decrease our body’s storage of fat but can also stimulate a fat-burning effect in multiple body tissues. Great soluble fiber food suggestions for anyone following Keto include: inulin, psyllium husk, flaxseeds, chia, green leafy vegetables, and nuts and seeds.<br />Prioritize Your Polyphenol Intake: These plant compounds are ‘nutritional powerhouses’ with multiple health benefits, including their ability to change our gut environment to one that favors the growth of beneficial bacteria, resulting in a similar effect as that of soluble fiber. Keto-friendly sources of polyphenols include: nuts (especially walnuts), flaxseed meal, cocoa powder, spices, coffee, green and black tea, dark green leafy vegetables, and olives. You can read more about the health benefits of polyphenols here.<br />5. Manage Stress<br /><br />This is easier said than done, but the importance of minimizing stress to help your weight loss (and fat-burning) efforts should not be downplayed. Stress is known to increase levels of cortisol, our body’s primary ’stress hormone’. Not only can cortisol crank up your brain’s ‘appetite center’, sending you into a sugar-and fat-laden feeding frenzy, but it can also promote the storage of abdominal body fat surrounding our organs—the most unhealthy type. So make sure you are getting a good night’s rest, taking a brief ‘time out’ to clear your mind and decompress each day, and are doing some strength or HIIT training (that promote the growth of lean muscle for increased fat burning) as an outlet for de-stressing to counter the negative impact of cortisol.<br /><br />Key Takeaways<br /><br />For anyone seeking to increase their body’s fat-burning potential, there are the ‘tried and true’ ways of regular exercise and drinking ample amounts of water throughout the day, as well as the less conventional ‘functional food’ and dietary approaches to converting your body into a lean(er)-machine and metabolic furnace. The effectiveness of each of these methods will be further compounded as you apply several of them at a time and on a regular basis. After all, it’s what you do consistently that counts for the long terms.<br />", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528/followers" ], "tag": [], "url": "https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1279575170427654158", "published": "2021-08-31T22:54:53+00:00", "source": { "content": "What are the 5 best ways to make your body burn fat faster with the Keto Diet?\n\n\n\n\n What are the 5 best ways to make your body burn fat faster with the Keto Diet?\nThere are a growing number of proven methods for losing weight and boosting your body’s fat-burning ability—for the general population and Keto followers alike.

YOUR HEART HAS BEEN BROKEN<br /><br />And I don't mean broken; I mean shattered. By a girl who has never loved you and will never love you, into itsy bitsy little little pieces. Join the gym at your place of business. Start coming to the gym on a regular basis, and even if you don't know much about fitness and are far too weak to do much more than lift 5 pound weights and use the elliptical machines with the elderly, keep going until you're drenched. Then go home and go to bed early the next day, and repeat the process. Then there was the third time. Then there was the third time.<br /><br />Listen to your ex-stories girlfriend's about fucking around with gross and terrible people, as well as stories from your buddies who think they're helping you out. Go to the gym and produce more sweat puddles. Purchase books. Learn about the various muscle groups and how they interact. Begin eating more healthily. Find out more about nutrition. Make a menu plan for the week. Make an effort to forget about her.<br /><br />Go all the way to the top floor of the parking garage after work one night and walk all the way to the rear. Consider how each of those office lights represents a person as you gaze out at the glittering lights of downtown Los Angeles' skyscrapers. Consider how they are feeling.<br /><br />What they're doing now; if they're missing someone special, if they're wondering if someone special is missing them. Then you realize that most of those lights are probably shining into offices that are empty except for a couple of custodians. Recognize that you are alone and staring at nothing. Drive home with a solitary chicken breast and cooked vegetables, your collar up against the cold. Get some rest. Return to your job. Visit the gym. Sweat.<br /><br />Purchase a scale. Decide on a weight loss target. Consider your target weight as a bright beacon on a hill. You've reached the bottom and are in the dark.<br /><br />At work, strike up a conversation with her. When she looks over at you, notice how awkward she walks in high heels and her silly smile. Something is clenching in your chest. Consider your workout at the gym and which muscle groups you'll target that evening.<br /><br />Put your feet on the treadmill. Push yourself to level 3 and then level 4 to see how far you can go. Then there's number six. You're running so fast that you feel like you're about to pass out. Attained level ten. Make a wish for death. Consider how you feel when you're around her. Find the courage to continue.<br /><br />Make the mistake of looking at her Facebook and Instagram posts late at night. You're feeling worse than you ever imagined. Remove her from your friend list and attempt to forget what you've seen. She's doing things that you asked her to do with you with other people. You're wasting your life listening to Taylor Swift on loop and generating sweat puddles on the gym floor while she's having a great time without you.<br /><br />Observe how your life is reduced to only four things: 1.) work, 2.) the gym, 3.) your diet, and 4.) your sleep. She wears the jewelry you gave her and tells you it was given to her by \"someone very special.\" That night, you realize that Slayer's \"Angel of Death\" is the ideal song for squats.<br /><br />Begin making friends at the gym. On Wednesdays, Vince and you will see each other; on Fridays, Chase and you will see each other. You used to scoff at bro nods and fist bumps, but because that's how gym rats interact, it's become your preferred mode of communication. Work, gym, food, and sleep are all on my to-do list. Over and over again More puddles of sweat. More fist bumps are in order. You run hundreds of miles and lift tens of thousands of pounds in a single day.<br /><br />You notice new folks working out here and there, and you realize you've accomplished something you never thought possible: you've joined the regulars. You're the last person to leave the gym every now and then. You try to get to the gym early, but your workouts gradually become longer, ranging from one hour to 90 minutes to two hours. You've become accustomed to being the last person to leave the gym. You take off running. You take a step forward. You're causing more puddles.<br /><br />Your physique gradually transforms, then all of a sudden you become slim and muscular. You reach your target weight, choose a new one, and then reach it again. You go shopping for new clothes. You're bombarded with compliments on a regular basis. Your ex informs you that she is seeing another man. Your chest tightens. You're completely spent.<br /><br />You go to the gym that night. You play all of her favorite tunes. You run further and lift more than you ever imagined your body could. It's an excellent workout. It makes you feel numb. You return home and eat one chicken breast with steaming vegetables. You retire to your bed. You fantasize about a never-ending dark puddle.<br /><br />You quit drinking alcohol months ago, so you don't chat to anyone new when you go to pubs or parties. Gorgeous women are always hitting on you because of your new figure and new outfits. A woman once approached you and said she thought you'd be good in bed and handed you a napkin with her phone number on it. You're thinking about how hard you need to beat your best time sprinting across the park across from your house the next day while she speaks to you, her hand resting on your chest inside your shirt. When you go home that night, you do some research on the best trail running shoes and click \"purchase.\" The shoes are priced at $100. The phone number is discarded.<br /><br />At the gym, there's a female who always does these strange leg exercises you've never seen before. She is stunning. You try not to look at her because you're afraid of looking creepy like that man in the blue shirt who never wears underwear and usually hangs around the lat pulldown machine, but you notice she's always at the gym when you are, and she always sits next to you on the bench. You crank up the Slayer and focus on expanding your puddles.<br /><br />Your ex parades her new beau around while completely ignoring you. He's taller, more ripped, and better-looking than you, and he comes from money, according to the Greek chorus of your mutual pals. You remember how her blue eyes lit up beneath the ferris wheel on her birthday when you gave her those bracelets she's wearing as you watch her introduce him to everyone but you.

You take a selfie in the mirror and send it to yourself with the subject line \"You Are A Warrior.\" You feel disgusted with yourself the next day and erase it.<br /><br />You make puddle after puddle and eat single chicken breasts and work and sleep and the weather gets warm and then cold and you know every Taylor Swift song by heart and the only things that exist in the universe are you and The Gym, and then something different happens: a night when you are not the last person in the gym.<br /><br />You and the female who does the strange leg exercises are the only ones who are doing them. You end up leaving together.<br /><br />Melissa is her name, and she works in the same building as you. She has been employed there for the past two years. She invites you to dinner on Friday and assures you that it will be nutritious. Pivoting Curtsy Lunges are the leg exercises.<br /><br />Melissa becomes a familiar face both inside and outside the gym. You don't tell anyone. You start getting a lot less sleep when you add a couple cheat days to your week — for when you two go out to dinner and share dessert. Slayer is phased out in favor of Springsteen. When you run, Vince and Chase notice that you no longer appear to be hoping for death. You receive a late-night text from your ex inviting you out to coffee, but you do not respond. When was the last time you dream about puddles.<br /><br />You're walking Melissa to her car in the parking garage one night, and she's parked all the way at the top. She takes your hand and leads you all the way to the back, saying she wants to show you something. You're both standing in the dark, staring out over the dazzling lights of downtown Los Angeles' skyscrapers.<br /><br />“Isn't it lovely?” She explains. “There are so many lights.”<br /><br />Yes, that's lovely, but it makes you sad, you tell her. All of those gorgeous lights are useless since they are shining into cold, empty offices. Melissa squeezes your hand and confirms that each light represents an empty office — but only because everyone has gone home for the day. All of those glittering lights aren't depressing; each one represents a person who is at home with the one they love. And isn't that romantic?<br /><br />She smiles as you look at her in the lights. Something expands in your chest.<br /><br />You're filling out your rent check late on a Sunday afternoon when you remember it's been precisely a year since you started working out. You recall all the miles you've covered, the pounds you've lifted, the chicken you've consumed, and the puddles you've created. It doesn't appear to be very bad. You realize it's not about reaching a certain weight or lifting a certain amount of weight. It's all about the ability to wait. Waiting, being patient, and faith that things will get better as time goes on. After all, it takes time for things to change.<br />Hope you guys love it....", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528/followers" ], "tag": [], "url": "https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1277045366067302416", "published": "2021-08-24T23:22:21+00:00", "source": { "content": "How to lose weight fast in 2021?\n\n\nI've spent the last year getting in shape and shedding 80 pounds.

Your hand clenches into a fist in your pocket.\n\nGet access to my free weight loss ebook \nhttps://linktr.ee/Ketodietplanne\n\n\nYou deadlift your entire body weight that night. You take a selfie in the mirror and send it to yourself with the subject line \"You Are A Warrior.\" You feel disgusted with yourself the next day and erase it.\n\nYou make puddle after puddle and eat single chicken breasts and work and sleep and the weather gets warm and then cold and you know every Taylor Swift song by heart and the only things that exist in the universe are you and The Gym, and then something different happens: a night when you are not the last person in the gym.\n\nYou and the female who does the strange leg exercises are the only ones who are doing them. You end up leaving together.\n\nMelissa is her name, and she works in the same building as you. She has been employed there for the past two years. She invites you to dinner on Friday and assures you that it will be nutritious. Pivoting Curtsy Lunges are the leg exercises.\n\nMelissa becomes a familiar face both inside and outside the gym. You don't tell anyone. You start getting a lot less sleep when you add a couple cheat days to your week — for when you two go out to dinner and share dessert. Slayer is phased out in favor of Springsteen. When you run, Vince and Chase notice that you no longer appear to be hoping for death. You receive a late-night text from your ex inviting you out to coffee, but you do not respond. When was the last time you dream about puddles.\n\nYou're walking Melissa to her car in the parking garage one night, and she's parked all the way at the top. She takes your hand and leads you all the way to the back, saying she wants to show you something. You're both standing in the dark, staring out over the dazzling lights of downtown Los Angeles' skyscrapers.\n\n“Isn't it lovely?” She explains. “There are so many lights.”\n\nYes, that's lovely, but it makes you sad, you tell her. All of those gorgeous lights are useless since they are shining into cold, empty offices. Melissa squeezes your hand and confirms that each light represents an empty office — but only because everyone has gone home for the day. All of those glittering lights aren't depressing; each one represents a person who is at home with the one they love. And isn't that romantic?\n\nShe smiles as you look at her in the lights. Something expands in your chest.\n\nYou're filling out your rent check late on a Sunday afternoon when you remember it's been precisely a year since you started working out. You recall all the miles you've covered, the pounds you've lifted, the chicken you've consumed, and the puddles you've created. It doesn't appear to be very bad. You realize it's not about reaching a certain weight or lifting a certain amount of weight. It's all about the ability to wait. Waiting, being patient, and faith that things will get better as time goes on. After all, it takes time for things to change.\nHope you guys love it....", "mediaType": "text/plain" } }, "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528/entities/urn:activity:1277045366067302416/activity" }, { "type": "Create", "actor": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528", "object": { "type": "Note", "id": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528/entities/urn:activity:1276692587763208208", "attributedTo": "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/1235435652883947528", "content": "Lose weight quickly!!!<br /><br /><br />People want to look healthy, beautiful, slim and fit and for that they think weight gaining is one of the best way to attain desired body.
