100 Quickfire Simple Fat Loss Tips

Although there is no magic formula to losing fat — apart from being in a caloric deficit — here are 100 fat loss tips to help make your fat loss journey a lot easier.

Fat Loss Tips: How To Boost Basal Metabolic Rate

One of the best ways to speed up fat loss is to boost your basal metabolic rate.

This means you an burn more calories at rest, thus giving you more leeway as to what you can eat to achieve similar results.

1. Build Muscle
2. Cold Exposure
3. Caffeine Consumption
4. Green Tea — or our homemade fat burner
5. Consuming higher proportions of protein vs other macros
6. Eating spicy foods
7. Eat more fiber
8. Drinking cold water
9. Supplementing Fucoxanthin*
10. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle
11. Boost testosterone by cutting out vegetable oils/soy products
12. Get proper sleep
13. Eliminate stress
14. Get more sex
15. Cut out toxic people from your life (who raise your stress levels)

Fat Loss Tips: Exercise Tips

In the past, we’ve written about how entering a gentle caloric deficit is easier with the introduction of low intensity steady state cardio (LISS) while downplaying high intensity interval training’s (HIIT) overhyped “afterburn” effect.

The esteemed “afterburn” effect is merely excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and can have a marginal effect in raising total calories burnt at rest.

One of the things to consider is that, although we are trying to burn as many calories as possible, fat loss should be sustainable for it to be effective in the long run.

1. Do compound movements
2. Squat
3. Deadlift
4. Row
5. Bench Press
6. Download a step tracker and try to perform at least 10k steps per day
7. Do LISS after HIIT
8. Do cardio after weights
9. LISS is the surest way to burn most overall calories sustainably
10. Never put weight training on the back burner
11. Don’t follow exercise programs with a high risk of injury
12. Don’t do cardio that can damage bones/joints — long-distance running while overweight can cause shin splints or painful inflammation
13. Swim if your joints/shins ache from other forms of cardio
14. Find exercises you are comfortable with and can perform week in week out
15. Don’t try to lose fat first before building muscle
16. You can’t outcardio a bad diet
17. Being alive is the most sustainable metabolically-expensive activity
18. Don’t waste time and energy on useless exercises
19. Learn which exercises best suit your body type
20. Hire a personal trainer if you can’t navigate around a gym
21. Download our free eBook here
22. Drink black coffee to power workouts in a deficit
23. Don’t forget to stretch

Snacking may become irresistibly tempting, but there are ways to stave off the inevitable hunger pangs.

Some of these fat loss tips have been previously mentioned, but their duplicate use is merely to underscore their utility when it comes to burning fat.

1. Drink Water
2. Drink Coffee

15. Curb sugar consumption
16. Avoid drinking alcohol
