Fat Loss Made Simple (3 Easy Steps)
If you have struggled to lose weight, or more specifically fat, then keep reading. In this article, I will breakdown the three simple steps you need to do if your goal is fat loss.
Step 1: Workout to Create a Metabolic Effect
The simplest way to create a metabolic effect is doing full-body workouts that combine strength, endurance, and cardiovascular high-intensity training. This powerful combination will burn fat and build muscle, but keeps your body burning calories even after your workout.
This is called the “Triple Fat Burning Effect”.
The Triple Fat Burning Effect
By using exercises that create a metabolic effect, not only will you be burning calories while working out, but you will also burn calories at an accelerated rate for up to an additional 24-48 hours AFTER your workout.
Plus, when you build more muscle, you speed up your metabolism which will cause you to burn even more calories every day, without doing anything!
Here’s a closer look at “The Triple Fat Burning Effect”:
1) Burn calories at a high rate during your workouts.
2) Burn additional calories at an accelerated rate for up to an
additional 48 hours AFTER your workout.
3) Burn even more calories every single day (even while you sleep) without doing anything, just by adding more muscle.
Step 2: Learn How to “Eat Right” for Your Body
Weight loss is extremely simple in theory. Burn more calories than you’re taking in and you will lose the weight.

The problem is that most people are just guessing and hoping what
they are doing will work.
Through all of my years of experience, the biggest thing I’ve learned about diet and nutrition strategies is this: Different things work for different people.
What may work for one person won’t work for another. The key to weight loss is establishing the necessary habits and learning how to eat right for your body.

Step 3: Make Adjustments
One of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to weight loss is not adjusting workout routines or nutrition strategy when current methods stop working.
Most people will initially get pretty good results when they start a new workout routine or diet, but after a few months, their results will start to slow. Before they know it, their progress has pretty much come to a grinding halt and they can’t figure out why.
Instead of switching things up, they keep doing more of the same, pushing even harder in hopes that things will start to pick back up and they’ll start seeing results again soon.
The problem is when they don’t.
This is when a lot of people get frustrated and give up not realizing that if they made a few simple tweaks to their workouts or nutrition, they could easily kick start their results again.
Because the body is an amazing machine, it will eventually adapt to a workout routine or nutrition strategy, which causes the results to slow and often stop altogether.

But if you make small adjustments right before you are about to hit a plateau, your body will be forced to adapt to the new changes. This is the key to achieving continuous results.
Remember that the road to weight loss is challenging, but paying attention to your body’s needs and anticipating those plateaus will keep you moving successfully toward your goal weight.
