Whether you are looking to lose those last few pounds and lean out, or you are just beginning your weight-loss journey, maximizing fat loss is not only crucial to your goals, but also the healthiest way to lose weight.
Here at TLS we educate on our proven lifestyle, science-backed program and supplements, but also on why dieting does not work. When we cut caloric intake drastically, eliminate entire or several food groups just to lose weight – yes the scale will drop – but understand it is often the wrong weight you are losing. You may be losing precious muscle, water, and sustained long enough, even bone. This is detrimental to your health, your metabolism and maintaining a healthy body composition.
If you incorporate the TLS lifestyle which is encompassed in these 5 tips you are sure to see results:
1. What you eat matters
You cannot get a fire if you don’t have wood. Food is your wood, the fire is your metabolism (energy). Eat the wrong foods, it’s like starting a fire with wet wood – a lot of smoke, no heat.
Eat the right foods, you will be warmed by a roaring fire. This is why NOT eating is not a winning strategy. Calorie restriction or starving yourself has the opposite effect you would like it to, it slows down your metabolism and puts you in fat-storage mode.
We have several TLS Programs to meet your needs, each of them has an approved Power Foods List. You may be surprised at how much you do get to eat. Stick to these and you are sure to support your natural metabolic drive.
Find more information on our programs here – downloads on each of their specific pages.
2. When you eat matters
Here at TLS we follow a plan of 3 meals and 2 snacks throughout the day. Depending on your waking hours, that means you are eating every 3 – 4 hours This keeps the blood sugar levels even, putting our body in fat-burning mode and continuing to stoke the fire of our metabolism.
Skipping meals, once again, has the opposite effect. Sticking to our plan not only means you will reach your goals, but you will also have more energy and feel better than ever!
3. Muscle matters
Muscle tissue has the highest concentration of mitochondria, commonly known as the powerhouse of the cell. This little organelle creates our ATP and ATP is Energy.
This is why here at TLS, you will often hear us say; “muscle dictates metabolism.”
For this reason, we must lift heavy things and put them down. Weight training done safely and correctly 2 – 3 x a week (more if you choose) is the only way to build and maintain lean muscle tissue. No one is saying you need to be a “muscle head” and live in the gym but finding a routine that works for you is a non-negotiable part of a healthy metabolism and body lifelong.
4. Supplementation matters
Not all supplements are created equal. Beware of the “magic pill,” potion or lotion that solves your weight loss problem with little to no other effort. Even if it does work quickly, there is a good chance it isn’t healthy.
Our line of supplements are backed by science, we share with you right on our site, that science, our product labels, all the ingredients and more. Beware of companies that do not disclose that information on their sites.
Our 3 products and their ingredients that specifically help with improving body composition are; TLS CLA, TLS Green Coffee and TLS Thermochrome v6. Each in their unique way assist the body in breaking down fat to be used for energy. Accelerate your fat burning goals with one or more of these incredible supplements.
5. Cardio matters
A lot of studies have been done on the most effective ways to burn fat through cardiovascular activity, and this is also a must for losing that unwanted weight.
Short bursts of HIIT cardio sessions (High Intensity Interval Training) several times a week is highly effective in boosting our metabolic drive for hours after the workout. Longer sessions also have a peak fat burning effect between 30 and 45 minutes. Officially the after-burn effect is called EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption) This is another way to stoke the natural fire that burns fat.
Finding fun ways to get your heart rate up and your sweat on is important to reaching your ideal body composition, but the benefits are widespread and include supporting heart health, better endurance, improved mood, and energy.
Chances are your weight loss goals have something to do with looking better but may have more to do with feeling better and living life more fully. TLS is the most comprehensive way to do this, and we are here to help. You are worth it!
