Learn to burn body fat. Take these steps to supercharge your body's lard burning capabilities.

By Mike Mardtelling

Listen to what the professionals say about eating smaller but more frequent meals. Science has proven this is an effective way to lose body fat. You know you should do it. It is just hard to stick with it.

Get more clean water into your body throughout the day. Clean water helps your organs move out the bad toxins that interfere with proper bodily functions. Improving your internals should help stimulate your fat burning capability also.

Increase the amount of protein in your diet. Lean protein requires more energy to digest. Protein also triggers a much smaller insulin response than easily digestible highly processed carbohydrate dense foods.

Go out of your way. Stop taking elevators and escalators. Start parking near the back of the parking lot when you go shopping. The little things really begin to add up. An extra hundred plus calories per day could add up to one pound of extra fat in a month.

Try keeping some of your favorite healthy foods around for when you feel the urge to snack. You are far less likely to stunt your progress if you have something healthy ready to go. This takes away the stress of trying to find something healthy when you are out and about.

Even though many fast food restaurants have improved their food quality significantly, it is still sometimes difficult to always choose the healthy food option once you are in there. So, if this fits you, then you might consider completely banning the fast food chains form your diet all together.

If you have a choice of cooked or raw vegetables, choose the raw ones. There are many benefits to eating raw vegetables. These vegetables help with just about every major organ's function. They will certainly help keep your body repaired and ready to work efficiently.

Think about organizing your favorite healthy recipes into a book or series of books. Then, instead of wondering what to eat, you can simply look in the book that has a ton of healthy foods that you know you already like.

Wake yourself up earlier by developing the habit of stretching and breathing when you first roll out of bed. It will give your body a quick boost and get the blood flowing to all of your limbs.

See if there are any little improvements you can make to your sleeping routine to get a better night's rest. Growth hormones are produced while you are asleep. Researchers believe that more growth hormone is produced by persons who sleep deeper.

Take the intensity of your exercise methods up a notch. The intensity with which you work out is directly proportional to the level of fat metabolism you will see. Intensity matters far more than duration.

Don't underestimate the power of a picture to help you reach your goals. Set aside a few minutes each day or every other day to look at yourself in the bathroom mirror. Just imagine how great you are going to look and feel once you have reached your fat loss goals.

Try coming up with some fun things to do in your spare time that require some type of physical stamina. You could spend more time outside with family throwing a football or Frisbee. Investing your free time wisely is the best way to burn those extra couple hundred calories.
