If you’re trying to lose weight or are on a healthy diet, you should stay away from these killer foods. They make you fat very quickly and destroy your body’s fat burning mechanism.
1. Donuts, Cookies and Pastries
Saturated fat and refined sugar is abundant in these foods which also contain dangerous trans fatty acids. A small plain donut contains about 170 calories and 10 grams of fat. Donuts also contain chemical agents to keep them soft.
2. Soda, Fruit Drinks and Sugar Sweetened Beverages
These drinks are sweetened using sucrose and high fructose corn syrup. When you consume liquid calories, you tend not to compensate by cutting back on the food you eat. The result is that you take in excess calories which are stored as body fat.

To lose weight and burn fat fast, you need to know the right combination of sets, repetitions, rest periods, and exercises and the best method of cardio for your workouts.
With these 7 tips, you can create workouts that keep your body’s fat-burning furnace blasting all day long.
1. Perform 2 - 4 Sets Per Exercise
While doing more sets boosts your fat-burning hormone levels, there is a cutoff - there is no difference between doing 4 and 6 sets. 2 - 4 sets is optimal for speeding fat loss, depending on your current level of fitness.
For example, you’ll want to use the low side of this range when you’re just starting out, and increase the number of sets as you become better conditioned.

So many people view dieting as some sort of cosmic punishment for not having the perfect body. They believe that enjoying food is somehow bad for them, which couldn’t be further from the truth. If you want to be completely honest with yourself, when it comes to dieting, it isn’t about giving up food or flavor; it’s about discovering new foods and flavors. At least that is what it is for those who truly love food as well as adventure.
There are many spices out there that can make even the blandest of foods a little exciting. Fish and chicken are popular diet foods because they are lean meats. However, adding a little blackening seasoning is a great way to put a little punch in your meal that will make it taste great without packing on the calories of dressing marinades or soaking in butter before broiling. You do not have to stop there. Italian seasoning can also add a little flavor to your kitchen without adding the extra calories that you are working so hard to avoid.

Calorie counting does not work as a method of effective dieting. Simply cutting your calories will cause you to quickly reach a “diet plateau.” When you hit this plateau, no matter what you do, you will not lose any more weight.
The reason for this is your body’s natural reaction to starvation. It quickly begins to burn less calories! This is why after only a couple weeks on a starvation diet you stop losing weight.
“Low-carb” diets are, I believe, not the answer and are not a good method of effective dieting. The reason for this is that your body needs carbohydrates for energy.

How many of you made a resolution to make this the year that you were going to eat healthy, exercise, lose weight, and get into shape? Okay, now let me ask, how many have given up?
I was an overweight teenager, who slimmed down naturally when puberty’s vile clutches finally loosed their grasp on me at what seemed like the age of 21. By “vile clutches”, I’m not really saying puberty is a bad thing, but if you describe the process of the “blossoming” you went through as an adolescent in vague terms, it would make an cool plot for a horror movie. You know, sprouting hair, oozing boils, urges to do things that made you go “eew” the day before. Oh, wait, let me get back on track. Even though I didn’t have any serious weight problems, after the aforementioned period of adolescence, I wasn’t in the best of shape, and going to college and having to live on my own with all my time going towards studies, classes, and work, and being able to only afford cheap processed junk foods to eat, I was left in awful shape. I was flabby, inflexible, had poor endurance, and was very physically weak.
And when I tried to exercise, bad things ensued. Let me ask you this. Did you wake up January 2nd (because you were naturally hungover on January 1st, like me), go to the weight bench and set of barbells in your basement, or the gym, and undertake a 1-2 hour lift & grunt session when you hadn’t worked out in months, or even years, or even EVER? How did you feel the next day. You wished you were dead, didn’t you?
