This is how you should eat and train to burn more fat

When we sign up for the gym, we will most likely do so with the intention of seeing ourselves fit, that is, getting more muscle and burning more fat.

Well, to achieve this there are many aspects to consider, both regarding our metabolism, as the biochemistry of our body, hormones, etc. So I am going to try to explain what is the key to burning more fat while we manage to tone our muscles.

Before talking about food (which you will already know is one of the basic pillars), I want to talk about exercise, that is, building muscle.

Basically, the process of burning fat is carried out in the mitochondria (a little thing inside the cell) of the muscles. The good thing is that when we move, this process is activated, in addition to regulating the hormones responsible for the same purpose.

The protagonist that burns the most fat has always been cardiovascular work, although if I tell you the truth, it is more important for me to focus on outside work. It is very easy, if the fat is burned in the mitochondria, which is in the muscle, the more muscle, the more mitochondria and ... well, little more needs to be said.

That is why the ideal is to exercise where several muscles work at the same time, to increase the metabolism and burn more fat during rest.

For this you can choose the deadlift, jumps to the drawer, trhusters, bench press, squats, etc.

And of course, you should not forget the famous, and killer, HIIT, which causes our body to not create enough oxygen during the session, causing an oxygen debt in the muscles that has to be corrected and compensated after training. And that's where you start burning fat without realizing it.

And now yes. Now it's time to talk about food. If it has already become clear that to burn fat you have to work several muscles at once, it is time to see what you have to do when you eat.

The most important thing is that you do not go hungry, since cortisol (the stress hormone) goes to the fore and causes a greater accumulation of fat in the body. That is why it is important to eat with a head and not to stop eating.

For that we must eat less but more frequently. Thus, insulin (which is responsible for controlling fat storage), remains stable.

In short, when we eat, blood glucose rises, and the same goes for insulin. The more calories we eat, the larger that peak is, and when that happens our body decides to store nutrients in fat cells instead of in the muscle.

And we go with a little trick. If you eat spicy food, capsaicin (which is what itches) increases your metabolism hours after you finish eating.

You should also take proteins, which satiate more and build muscle tissue making it stronger and toned.

With these tips, I hope it has become clear that to burn fat and tone, the most important thing is to train and eat properly.
