How to burn fat and feed muscle ?

Food works to feed the muscle. It's role and responsibility is to supply the body with the vitamins, minerals and proteins which act as the fuel which feeds the muscles. Without adequate calorie intake every day, it's difficult even impossible to build healthy muscle. That's why fancy diets that restrict calories, carbohydrates and other food groups will do nothing to feed your muscles.

In order to combine the process of burning fat and feeding muscle it's integral to get the right amount of exercise and a good diet everyday. That means a combination of aerobic activity, weight training and flexibility work, as well as getting a good amount of protein, carbohydrate and fat from a variety of foods.

Many assume that in order to burn fat it's important to cut out as much fat as possible. This is only half true. Our bodies require about 20-30% of good fat in our diets every day. However, this fat can not come from fried trips, chocolate and fast food. The type of fat your body needs should come from olive oil, salmon, nuts and avocado among others. If we deprive our bodies of fat than the body is going to be forced to retain the fat it already has stored.

Burn fat by utilising more energy every day through aerobics, weight training and flexibility work, then consume less calories throughout the day in order to create a calorie deficit. The calories you do consume should come from whole grains, lean protein and lots of fruit and vegetables in order to feed your muscles and help you burn fat. The better the quality of food and exercise, the more fat you will burn and the stronger muscles you'll have.
