Fat Burning Cheat Sheet | 7 Hacks to Accelerate Fat Loss

1

Exercising before breakfast forces your body to use stored fat as fuel. Burn up to 20% more fat.

DO THIS: Do 20-30 minutes of light cardio (walking) before your first meal.

2

Fasting for 16 hours triggers fat-burning hormones and increases growth hormone by up to 300%.

DO THIS: Eat between 12 PM - 8 PM only. Fast for the other 16 hours.

3

High-Intensity Interval Training creates an "afterburn effect" that burns calories for 24-48 hours post-workout.

DO THIS: Do 15 minutes of HIIT (30s sprint, 30s rest) 3x per week.

4

EGCG in green tea increases fat oxidation during exercise by 17% compared to placebo.

DO THIS: Drink 2 cups of green tea 30 minutes before your workout.

5

Cold activates brown fat, which burns white fat to generate heat. 2-3 minutes of cold can burn 200+ calories.

DO THIS: End showers with 2-3 minutes of cold water, or use a cold plunge.

6

Poor sleep reduces fat burning by 55%. Growth hormone (fat-burning hormone) peaks during deep sleep.

DO THIS: Keep your bedroom at 65-68°F for optimal fat-burning sleep.

7

L-Carnitine transports fatty acids into mitochondria where they're burned for energy.

DO THIS: Take 1-2g of L-Carnitine with breakfast and before workouts.
