So you think you know everything about losing fat? Sure you’ve read about every weight loss trick and exercise on our site and others, but you still look in the mirror and wonder when the skinny version of you is going to break through?

Here we take a look at three secret weight loss tips that will melt the fat away immediately!

1. Body Weight Training

Isn’t this the same thing as yoga? Only girls do this type of training!

Simply put, most body weight training is hard and tends to crush the ego of the many who try. As far as we’re concerned, if you can not work with your own body weight than why in the world are you using additional weight such as barbells and dumbbells.

It’s incredible how many attempt to use heavy weights with a limited range of motion but can’t do a set of push ups, a squat to the floor or even one chin up. Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a place for external loading with heavy weights but not until you have the ability to master the following bench marks:

Males should aim for 1 set of 80 push ups, 1 set of 20 chin ups, 1 set of 20 1-leg squats, 1 set of 40 dips and 1 set of 20 pull ups.

Females should aim for 1 set of 40 push ups, 1 set of 5-10 chin ups, 1 set of 10 1-leg squats, 1 set of 10-15 dips and 1 set of 3-5 pull ups.

These standards will ensure a solid foundation of general fitness lead to burning fat more easily in the following stages of your exercise program. For a demonstration of the above exercises, check out the video below with Craig Ballantyne, author of Turbulence Training:

2. Change it up 

This is an extremely powerful tip to losing fat, not to mention one of the easiest tricks to ensure your body side-steps plateaus forever. For example, if you have been doing 60 minute sessions of walking, three times a week, try cycling or running once a week and only walking twice a week. After 3 weeks, change it up again and include another activity (ie. rollerblading, stairclimbing, hiking, etc.) to incorporate into your exercise regimen. This will prevent plateaus and keep the fat loss adventure exciting instead of repetitive and boring.

3. Head to the Grocery Store

If you are serious about losing weight, accept the fact that you will need to spend more time than you do right now in the grocery store. Have you ever opened the fridge for something to eat and all you found was leftovers that would require nuclear radioactive testing? Ever gone into your cupboards and discover only a few leftover bags of potato chips from last weeks Super Bowl party?

To ensure a optimal environment for fat loss you must ensure your cupboards and fridge are constantly stocked. This will mean more frequent trips to the grocery store. Throw out the empty calories that is in your kitchen right now and replace it with good stuff and keep on replacing it. Don’t ever let that supply of healthy food run low.
