In all of my experimentation and investigation on the subject of nutrition for rapid fat burning, health and fitness over the last 10+ years, I have found 2 magical substances that could have a spectacular effect on whether or not you burn body fat and keep it off, or hang on to it like a security blanket.

These substances, in fact, have been around since the introduction of time and I am astounded more people do not value their importance like they should.  What are these miraculous agents of fat burning wizardry? Water and Fiber.  Let me explain why…

Everybody has heard that water is crucial for health, but even still, most people do not drink enough water.  Water is also critical to your fat burning labors and maintaining a lean body.After all, our bodies are about 65-70% water. Water also keeps you from snacking on unhealthful sugary foods and sugar laden soft drinks, as many times when we feel we are hungry, we are actually just dehydrated.

We need water in our bodies more than we require food.  The body may survive for much longer without food that lacking water.  Water is like the lubricate in the engines of our cars. It is involved in nearly every process the body goes through, from digestion to nutrient absorption.  It also keeps your energy level up as it prevents dehydration.

Now, this is extremely important…dehydration will completely eradicate your chances of burning fat, since the body interprets this as a state of distress. It shifts its focus on getting water and stops doing other things, like burning body fat for energy.  Plus here is even more helpful facts about the power of water. Attempt this small trick to burn still more calories…try and drink the majority of if not all of your water in ice cold form.

First of all, it generally tastes better ice cold, and every occasion you drink an ounce of ice cold water, your body has to burn about a calorie in the process of warming the water to your present body temperature. Now, you can use this to your advantage to burn yet more calories every day.  Keep your water intake to 100 ounces per day, and you will burn an additional 100 calories and burn more fat! Just how awesome is that!

In addition, add  a bit of lemon to your water…this will have positive effects in helping purify your liver.  And this brings up an additional key to fat loss…the body has to be working effectively if you want to burn fat quickly…if your organs, especially the kidneys and liver,  are working together in high efficiency, you will find it simpler to burn fat!

Consequently keeping yourself hydrated will keep your kidneys progressing at a good clip, and your liver will be permitted to do its job of metabolizing stored fat for energy.

The other miraculous substance is Fiber.  Fiber slows absorption and makes you feel fuller.  This is so vital in burning fat and reducing cravings, especially for foods packed with sugar, and how many calories you end up eating all through the day, which leads to fat loss.

Vast sources of fiber consist of an assortment of whole grain products, fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and beans.  These, by the way, are foods that are also plentiful in other nutrients your body craves naturally…surprise surprise!  Processed foods, nevertheless, are pitiful sources of fiber.  White flour products plus regular pasta is in this group.   Also, be watchful for high fiber cereals as many of these are also high in sugar.

On top of the fat burning benefits, fiber has been connected to the prevention of a number of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.  That is  a one-two health strike to be reckoned with!

Hence I urge you to put water and fiber at the top of your list of things to put in your body.  If you combine that focus with a diet of nutrient rich foods and a properly conducted resistance exercise program, you will be on your path to burning more fat faster, and maximizing your genetic capability for a lean, strong, and healthy body.

The Fat Burning Furnace students are already doing this, and are enjoying all the rewards this lifestyle brings.  Now, it is your turn to acquire the most you can out of life and burn fat faster than you may have thought possible.
