How You Can Burn More Fat (for Men)

Are you concerned with excess fat o your body? Perhaps you feel that you have a 
healthy diet and are exercising regularly, but can’t seem to get rid of those last few 
pounds. The following information is going to help you burn unwanted fat and keep it off 
for good.

Combine Weights with Cardio

If you want to burn more fat, you don’t want to do just cardio or just weight training. You 
really need to focus on the combination of the two types of workouts for the best results. 
Burning fat starts with cardio to actually burn the extra fat and calories, but you also 
need to build muscle to help with  burning fat as well. Try to create a realistic schedule 
for yourself where you weight train a few days a week, and add 2-3 days of cardio. 

Cardio might be walking or running, hiking, using an elliptical or bike at the gym, or even 
dancing if that is something you like to do.

Add in HIIT Workouts

As far as your cardio workouts go, it doesn’t get much better than HIIT. These are high-
intensity interval training workouts, where you do short bursts of high-intensity moves. 
You can burn more fat and calories in a shorter period of time, leaving plenty of time for 
other workouts.

Increase Your Fat

This often seems counterintuitive, but you need fat to burn fat. The trick here is balance 
and not eating the bad type of fats. Real butter, olive oil and coconut oil, eggs, meat, 
and cheese are all considered good fats. Add more of these to your diet while reducing 
your carbs and processed foods. Stay far away from light margarine – that little drop in 
calories is not going to help you burn fat. Instead, stick with the grass-fed butter and add 
in other healthy fats like healthy oils and omega-3 fatty foods like salmon and nuts.
Stop Worrying About the Scale
Your mindset can also make a difference in the long run, if you find that stress about 
your goals and progress tend to lead to not working out for a while or getting caught in a 
cycle of binge eating. If this sounds like you, just do what you need to reach your goals, 
but ditch the scale. Pounds are not always a good indication of burning fat, especially if 
you start to build muscle, which weighs more than that. Instead of weighing yourself, 
check progress with before and after pictures, and measurements.
