A complete list of all fatloss tips?

[Jack Bauer FL]

Ok, i have read a lot of magazines and books on bodybuilding and fatloss etc. Every article usually mentions several well known tips, like eat 6 times a day or workout in mornings etc. But, they also offer some not too well known tips, like eating spicy food or consuming foods with lots of water density etc.

Does anyone know of an article that lists all these 100 or 500 fatloss tips?

I want to maximize my success and having a complete list of all these possibilities, allows me to tweak some areas while not tweaking others and still losing weight.

What does your diet look like now? Is your bf% going down?

These are the only things that matter and from there you tweak. Gathering a list of the 100 top things to lose fat gathered from M&F, Cosmo, Oxygen, Time, Sexy Young Midgets, etc really doesn't do jack squat unless you're doing something and looking for something to push you over a platuea.

If you're looking for an all around source for losing fat I'd just buy Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto.

The problem with collecting them all is that so many of them are basically bull****. For instance, #4 and #6 in the partial list you gave are questinable at the least. They MAY increase the percentage of fat burned, but in the grand scheme of things, they won't do much, because it still comes down to calories in versus calories out. #5 is okay, but needs some cautions, because too many people take it as permission to pig out.

Taht's the problem with "tips" -- they're just cute little sound bites as opposed to in depth knowledge. You'd be better off getting the book
that P01Shooter recommended or maybe Lyle McDonald's Flexible Dieting Handbook.

LOL I just noticed that you must have repped me at the same time I repped you!

Off topic question: How do you give multiple reps? Or is it just a matter of how much rep power you have?

Just looking for a list of tips.

What are you doing now and how much bf are you losing? That's what matters! Sorry man, but you sound like a planner that always is planning and making sure everything is right before you even attempt to lose weight because your afraid it won't work.

Let's say you're starting a new diet and you take your list of top 100 fat loss tips from crappy magazines. You will fail since holding yourself to 100 standards is damn hard. Why would you want to do that?

OK, someone is new and looking to lose weight I would tell them the first thing to do is to eat 6 meals a day and avoid fast food. They'll lose weight as long as they don't eat crap for those 6 meals. Then we can eliminate simple carbs and introduce more fibrous veggies. Bam, more weight will drop. Then we can look at fat sources and improve those and ensure efa's are there. Boom, more fat.

There are a 1000 things one can do to lose weight but to try and do them all will leave you well short of accomplishing your goal. There's little dumb things all of us can do but don't because we get the results we want such as lemon water, using cayenne in food, use cinnamon, consume vinegar before meals, bounce your feet up and down at the desk, etc, etc. The vital thing is are you losing bf? Are you improving? If you are there is no need to look elsewhere but just do something.

No, knowing what to eat and when and how much is IT. The rest of the tips are just that, tips which may or may not have any value. You can do the ONE thing that really matters, learn about nutrition, or you can wrap garbage bags around yourself and run at 4 AM and drink NONI juice or whatever. Good luck.

Edit: Check out the stickies above, plenty of good tips there.

In the articles section you will actually find loads of articles that are simply collections of fat loss tips and probably exactly what you're looking for. Here's a few :

[BORN2LOSE]

The most important tip is burning more caloires than you are consuming but here are a couple others that may help a bit.

1. Eat spicy foods to increase your metabolism.
2. Drink lots of cold water.
3. Drink green tea.
4. Park as far as you can from your office, grocery store, movie theater etc.
5. Use the stairs and not the elevator.
6. Eat your fiber.
7. Eat good fats.
8. Eat lean proteins.
9. Increase your muscle mass with weight training.
10. Don't eat sugars, refined carbs and trans fats.

justagirl, how are you? I hope you are well (and your family too)! That is a great article from the portion I have read. It's pretty concise and a good explaination for beginners thus far. I will try to give you reps if it will let me!

Also, I believe the reason to use extra virgin olive oil to cook is first, it's good fat as well as it has a high hydrogenation point so it can cook at higher temps and keep it's integrity. I hope that helps!

[writeknight]

Some others I don't see too often:

Drink lots of *cold* water. A gallon of water at 40F requires 123 calories for your body to bring it to 98.6F. Aim for a minimum of 1 gallon per day. I sip mine throughout the day from an insulated water bottle.

Stay cool. People are trying out all sorts of thermogenic pills to increase their metabolism. Turn it inside out by keeping your environment cooler, and your body must work harder to maintain its normal temperature. Wear less clothes, and sleep under less covers. Crank the AC.

Get plenty of sleep. Most people losing fat are trying to walk a very fine line: caloric deficit, heavy lifting, cardio, etc. This puts a big strain on your body, and it will hold onto its fat stores if it doesn't have adequate rest and recovery from all these stressors.

Intense weightlifting. Force your body to keep its muscle, and even build some new. Don't allow it to dip into muscle for any calories, so its only option is to use fat.

EAT LESS, EXERCISE MORE

Good in theory, but a bit simplistic. Eating less in particular can really mess someone up in the scheme of things. Now if you were to say "eat a little less than what your body burns", that would be more appropriate. I can vouch for this by the way.

Hey guys, I'm new to the "bf%" word. It mean 'body fat' right? How do I get the percentage?

Sorry i'm pretty new at this

Edit: also, what does HIIT mean? I just don't wanna post a new thread and take up space. I it's just simple questions.

[Jack Bauer FL]

Sorry man, but you sound like a planner that always is planning and making sure everything is right before you even attempt to lose weight because your afraid it won't work.

Sort of....

I am a firm believer is Kaizen, which is to say that i believe in making small, continual improvements with my life.

So i am looking for new "tricks of the trade" that i can incorporate into my existing diet and training program.

Im sure there are little things here or there that people have done which helped them lose fat? I am always reading about them, here or there, so i am looking for a complete list of them, rather than me search through dozens of sources to compile them all.

If you combined all the tips from these examples, thats what im looking for.

Most books and articles give 10 tips of 15 tips etc.

Im looking for a master list of all known tips. Like a list of 500 tips, some may be BS or yield low results. But, none the less i could look through this lsit and see little things i can improve on my diet.

In short, the more tips, the more choices i have.

[P01Shooter]

One of the simplest things I've done is to have lemon water during the day. Another is to drink green tea instead of coffee.
Don't worry about finding the closest parking spot.
If you sit for long periods of time get up and walk a bit.
Find a way to incorporate vinegar in your meals or salads when possible.
Absolutely no trans fats other than natural trans fats in meat and dairy.

Those are simple things I have picked up.

[BORN2LOSE]

natural trans fats in meat and dairy.

No such thing. I think you meant saturated fats. There are no "natural" trans fats.

BF % GO TO A GYM, THEY MIGHT DO FOR FREE OR BUY SOME CALIPERS

HiiT=High intensity interval Training

[danieljo]

Just a small Tip: If your thinking of building abs later, I suggest don't do crunches/sit ups. It will make your flabby belly look more flabby. Rather find ways to build your core. It will sturdy your execution and tone your muscles better.

Enjoy!

-Avoid drinking fruit juices
-Don't replace your meals with shakes
-Green tea also helps in fat loss.

Don't get concerned with all these tips seriously. ALL it comes down to is Cal in Vs Cal out. Eat 500 Cal below your maintenance and you will lose weight.
