Coming out of the old year 2011, and heading into the new year 2012, some if not most of us will be thinking of the best way to lose fat. Given the amount of food we must have eaten over the end of year break, it’s always a time when new year resolutions tend to focus on losing the pounds of unwanted fat, we unknowingly (or in some cases knowingly!) piled on to our waists and body parts.

Is there really a best way to lose fat? We don’t think there is one best way to lose fat which will work across the board for anyone regardless of body type, age and lifestyle. But there can be many ways which can come close. Often the key in finding the best way to lose fat often comes down to your attitude.

The question then becomes is there a best way to lose fat for you? The answer is of course yes but it’s not going to be easy. To work out the best way to lose fat for you, there are many factors you will need to take into account. Some we have covered above – gender, age, body type, lifestyle, genes, net worth, health and so many others which I cannot think of right now.

However, there are also ways which will bring good results to anyone regardless of those factors. The thing to remember is that, the results you will get if you do only the minimum, without looking deeply into your own individual situation, will vary widely from one person to the next.

Some of us who are blessed with good genes, will be able to get the best results, without doing too much training.

 

 

Similarly, those of us without good genes really need to do more work to get the same results as those who have good genes.

By good genes, I meant those who are healthy and are blessed with more fast twitch muscle fibre (even if those are not fully developed), good body type and so forth. These two types of people are really on the extreme end of the spectrum. Most of us will be somewhere in the middle of these two types and that is still okay.

The only thing I can think of right now – is to get into the attitude of trying out different things. You like running? Good – use a program which centres around running and mix it up by varying the distance and the pace used. You like weight training – try that instead and mix it up with exercises utilising your body weight.

Trying new exercises, new habits, new ways of doing things is not only fun. Over time, it will bring you closer (and in some cases faster) to your weight loss goals.  Taking this approach towards your training will help you know what kind of exercises will work or will not work for you, so you can plan your training better.
