For example you can go out in the jungle and find a banana in pretty much the same form on a tree as you see them in the store. Now I seriously doubt you can go anywhere and find a Twinkie snack cake on a tree or plant anywhere in the world. There is just no such thing. Something like a Twinkie snack cake is a heavily processed food and really bad for your health and goal of losing weight. Stick to natural unprocessed food and you are wee loin your way to losing weight.
The second tip is to not eat any carbs after 6pm when trying to lose weight. Now do not misunderstand and think that I am saying carbs are bad. Good complex carbohydrates like whole grains can be a great source of energy. But when trying to lose weight you have to manage the usage of that energy source. Later in the day you do not need as much of that fuel and it can turn into excess very easily.
The third tip is to utilize weight training to add muscle to your frame. A lot of people misunderstand the role of muscle in weight loss. Muscles always burn energy. The more muscle mass you have on your body the more calories you will naturally burn. This can greatly aid in burning fat. Women should not be afraid of adding some muscle mass. You are not going to blow up like a muscle bound balloon overnight. Do not be scared of adding a small amount of muscle mass.
The fourth tip for losing weight is to make sure to always eat several small meals throughout the day instead of one or a few large meals. 5 or 6 small meals will allow your body to efficiently burn the fuel and not have an excess to turn into fat. Think about your body like a furnace. Which would be better for a furnace? Is it better to throw a huge amount of coal on the furnace at one time? Or is it better to add small amounts of coal to the fire throughout the day? Obviously you will benefit more from the small spread out amounts.
Keep these tips in mind and before you know it you will be a fat burning machine.
