Do protein powders burn fat or are there fat burning powders out there, if so can you name some?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I’m trying to get a tasteless fat burning powder to add to shakes and smoothies. On my internet search, all I seem to see are protein powders.

I found a burner protein, I think the company is called Nutriblendz or something like that. They do have a burner protein that is pretty yummy. Hope this helps.

What is the best way to calculate the Heart Rate range for Fat Burning?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

The information I’ve been reading recently indicates that in order to burn fat most efficiently, one should keep the heart rate at a lower level than for cardio exercise. The calculation I’ve got is 220 minus the age (33) multiplied by 55% and 65% to give the appropriate range for optimal fat burning. This gives me a range of 103 to 122 bpm. That seems low. Does anybody know whether this is correct or if there is another, more exact calculation?

You heart rate should fall between 60 to 80%. That would put you between 112 to 149 bpm.

Should you be able to feel stomach fat burning while running?

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I run/walk on the treadmill, and am trying to lose some fat on my stomach. While running, should I be able to feel fat burning or anything? Or should it just feel normal?

no you shouldnt be able to really feel it, probably because running is not an exercise focussed on the stomach area (although dont stop, as it is a great one for your heart and other muscles). sit ups or crunches are a more effective way of targeting that area, you could try doing them on a fit ball (exercise ball) because then you can go further than 90 degrees down as you build up greater strength. make sure you use your core instead of straining your neck and back. good luck!

Should I be doing low intensity fat burning or high intensity cardio exercises?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

I want to lose about 60lbs of fat, should I be doing low intensity fat burning or high intensity cardio exercises? Also, I don’t want to put on too much muscle being that I am a female, are there any muscle exercises that will increase metabolism but not too much musle size. Thank you!

you can do both.

however, long, slow, low-intensity cardio is generally overrated. the amount of fat you burn during a long, slow workout is usually very low, and most people simply get hungrier and overeat. high-intensity cardio, like sprint intervals, raises post-exercise oxygen consumption, meaning it burns fat throughout the whole day even after you stop your workout.

heavy weightlifting, like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, helps you retain muscle so you lose fat and not muscle mass, and it also increases your metabolism. (lots of light "toning" exercises actually do make your muscles bigger without making them stronger or burning calories.)

whether or not you put on muscle is determined by a) your hormones, b) your diet, and c) what you do in the weight room. note that weightlifting is the LEAST important aspect of it. since you are female and therefore have low testosterone, you CANNOT gain lots of muscle unless you take steroids and forcefeed yourself protein and calories.

stop worrying about it. try the sample routine below. weightlifting will help you shed pounds.

Whats the difference between the cardio and the fat burning heart rate zone?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

on the eliptical it has the heart range zone but i want to be in the fat burning one i think and i can never get my heartrate lower then 148-155 without stopping

cardio zone is for building stamina rather than burn fat, so it focuses more on getting your heart rate up that burining calories, fat burn, made specifically to burn fat.

What food products would help with fat burning?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I’m in a process of losing excess weight. I dance 3-4 hours a day with a dance pad and jog 45 minutes daily. My goal is to shake off fat, not really tone my muscles. What would you recommend for food? What food products did you find successful? Preferably something that would increase the fat burning. Please no links to dieting-sites since I am interested in just selecting the best products from my grocery store. I am not interested in pills, books, concoctions, equipment or any other way losing my money.

You can eat salads, lean meat, fish, fruit, frozen veggies, drink lots of water, chicken, soup, protein shakes (low fat, low calorie ones), drink a glass of red wine per day, **yogurt is really good*,

Try and cut out salty things, WHITE breads, pop and alcohol besides wine

Good Luck!

How good is a rowing machine at fat burning?

Targetted weight reduction is quite difficult, many people would say impossible, however the one method that really showed results for me is green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box underneath, they have a few free trials in stock, it has been highlighted in Reader’s Digest and CNN. I lost twenty pounds, it really does produce results!

What are some high fat burning foods with the good fats?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I have a big swim meet coming up in about 2 weeks. I feel I preform best when I eat a lot of high fat burning foods such as veggies. But obviously my body also needs some protein so I eat a lot of peanut-butter. Any more ideas of what I should be eating?

Foods don’t burn fat. Fat is burnt when you consume fewer calories than you need for the day, which is easier to do if you’re eating vegetables instead of other foods which may contain more calories, but it’s the fact you’re eating fewer calories that’s burning fat – not the foods you’re eating.
