How to Burn More Calories with Interval Training

Dr. King — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:21:00 +0000

Do you want to take your fat burning to the next level?

Have you hit a rut losing those last few pounds?

So why are you killing yourself by doing more of the same boring cardio?

I am going to show you how you can take fat burning to the next level with interval training to help you burn more calories.

Why should I do interval training and not cardio?

The reason is simple. Research shows that interval training is much more effective for burning calories than cardio. Cardio will only take you so far before you need to do it longer and longer to burn the fat off. Your body starts to acclimate to it and before you know it you're killing yourself with long boring bouts of it.

What is interval training?

It's not as tough as you might think. The basic idea is simple you need to alternate between high intensity and low intensity.

How do I do burn more calories with interval training?

Let's use the treadmill as an example. One way you could do interval training would be to set the treadmill to the highest inclination and start out walking up hill. Then crank up the speed to a fast walk or running speed for 45 seconds then slow it back down to a walking speed. Now catch your breath and do it again. Keep repeating this for 15 minutes and I guarantee you will burn more calories with interval training than if you simply did cardio.

For a simple how to check out my recent article on ehow.com

How to Burn More Calories with Interval Training

How can I learn more about interval training?

There are some great books out there on the subject from novice to athlete level. One of the first books I ever bought on it was:

The Interval Training Workout: Build Muscle and Burn Fat With Anaerobic Exercise

It's a great book to start off with and learn more about interval training and creating routines with it. Last I checked it was $13.22 if you follow the link which is cheaper than amazon.

How To Read Food Labels

Dr. King — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:39:00 +0000

Serving Size:
Serving sizes are based on the amount of food people typically eat, which makes them realistic and easy to compare to similar foods. This may or may not be the serving amount you normally eat. It is important that you pay attention to the serving size, including the number of servings in the package and compare it to how much you actually eat. The size of the serving on the food package influences all the nutrient amounts listed on the top part of the label. For example, if a package has 4 servings and you eat the entire package, you quadruple the calories, fat, etc. that you have eaten.

Calories:
The number of calories and grams of nutrients are provided for the stated serving size.

Calories From Fat:
This is the part of the food label where you will find the amount of fat calories per serving.

Nutrients:
This section lists the amount of each nutrient in the food package. These daily values are the reference numbers that are set by the government and are based on current nutrition recommendations. Some labels list daily values for both 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diets.

% Daily Value:
Shows how a food fits into a 2,000 calorie/day diet. For diets other than 2,000 calories, divide by 2,000 to determine the % Daily Value for nutrients. For example, if you are following a 1,500 calorie diet, your % Daily Value goal will be based on 75% for each nutrient, not 100%.

For fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, choose foods with a low % Daily Value.

For total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, try to reach your goal for each nutrient.

Calories Per Gram:
This information shows the number of calories in a gram of fat, carbohydrate and protein.

1g Carbohydrate = 4 Calories
1g Protein = 4 Calories
1g Fat = 9 Calories

Ingredients:
Each product should list the ingredients on the label. They are listed from largest to smallest amount (by weight). This means a food contains the largest amount of the first ingredient and the smallest amount of the last ingredient.

Label Claim:
Another aspect of food labeling is label claims. Some food labels make claims such as "low cholesterol" or "low fat." These claims can only be used if a food meets strict government definitions. Here are some of the meanings.

Label Claim	DEFINITION (per standard serving size)
Fat-free* or sugar-free Low fat	Less than 0.5 gram (g.) of fat or sugar 3 g. of fat or less
Reduced fat or reduced sugar	At least 25% less fat or sugar
Cholesterol free	Less than 2 milligrams (mg.) cholesterol and 2 g. or less of saturated fat
Reduced cholesterol	At least 25% less cholesterol and 2 g. or less of saturated fat
Calorie free	Less than 5 calories
Low calorie	40 calories or less
Light or lite	1/3 fewer calories or 50% less fat; if more than half the calories come from fat, fat content must be reduced by 50% or more

Calculate How Many Calories You Burn – BMR

Dr. King — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 01:10:00 +0000

BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate

In order to determine how many calories to cut from your diet you first need to know what your baseline calorie burning rate is. This is where your BMR comes in. The BMR calculator will calculate how many calories you typically burn in a day based on your height, weight, and activity levels. To find out your BMR enter in your information below in the calculator.

Once you have calculated your BMR you can use this number as your baseline and reduce your calorie intake accordingly.
