The human body contains two types of fat cells, alpha fat cells and beta fat cells. Reducing the amount of blood flow through fat cells, alpha fat cells reduce the fat-burning process. Beta fat cells perform the exact opposite function by increasing blood flow through fat cells and increasing the fat-burning process. You can easily use alpha and beta fat receptors to help lose fat and weight in just a few simple steps.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Solid diet
  • Solid exercise program
  • A lot of water
  1. Step 1

    Eat healthy. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetable to provide you with a natural source of energy. Consume a lot of protein and whole-grain carbohydrates. Eat smaller meals; try starting out with six small meals per day. This will help you avoid overeating and will slow down the alpha receptors.

  2. Step 2

    Exercise often. Get at least 30 minutes of cardio five to six times per week. This will help burn the fat and will also increase blood flow. Follow a weight toning plan two to three times per week. Converting fat to muscle will speed up metabolism and increase the rate at which your body burns fat.

  3. Step 3

    Consume as much water as you possibly can. It will flush out your system, ridding your body of toxins.

  4. Step 4

    Be patient. Contrary to what advertisers often promise, it is extremely difficult to lose weight and inches rapidly. It's a process that requires time, patience, determination and dedication. More important than losing the weight quickly, it is better to lose the weight the correct way. This will ensure that you stick to your new lifestyle of healthy dieting and exercising, as opposed to reverting right back to your old ways. Binge dieting can be just as bad for you as binge eating or binge drinking.

Tips & Warnings
  • Stay away from alcohol if possible. When you drink alcohol, it breaks down into sugars within your body. This basically counteracts all the hard work you put into speeding up your fat-burning receptors through a proper diet and exercise plan. If you do consume alcohol, try to limit the consumption of it to one or two drinks once a week.
