Things You'll Need

• Access to exercise equipment/areas
• Water
• Green tea
• Healthy food

Instructions

1. Examine your diet. Rid your diet of any processed, sugary, fatty, and greasy foods and exchange them for whole grains, lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and healthy fats. In an article on diet and fat loss on bodybuilding.com, writer and bodybuilder Charlie Poole reveals that protein is essential to building muscle and therefore speeding up the metabolism, which in turn burns fat.

2. Eat often. Eating frequently throughout the day will increase your metabolic rate and help you burn fat quickly. According to fitness experts at bodybuilding.com, eating small, nutritious meals every two to three hours throughout the day is essential to burning fat and getting lean.

3. Drink water. In an article on WebMD, nutrition lecturer at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Jamie Pope reveals that everything your body has to process, even water, burns calories. By drinking at least 8 ounces of water per day, you can help your body burn calories and, in turn, shed fat.

4. Drink green tea.The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a study in December 1999 that revealed that those who ingested a green tea extract at least three times a day had a 4 percent increase in their metabolic rate. By adding green tea to your daily diet you will automatically be burning more fat.

5. Exercise with resistance training. Weight lifting and lean muscle building is essential for fat loss. According to an article in Redbook, chief exercise physiologist for myexerciseplan.com, Richard Cotton, M.A., reveals that building muscle automatically helps you burn fat, since one pound of muscle burns as much as 9 times the calories as one pound of fat does.

6. Exercise with cardio training. While all cardio exercise helps with fat loss, there is one specific type of training, high intensity interval training also known as HIIT, that will dramatically increase the speed at which you lose fat. According to an article written by legendary bodybuilder Dave Draper on the bodybuilding.com site, fat is burned quickly when you exercise the most intensely, so by performing interval training, such as 1 minute sprints on the treadmill, your metabolism will increase and remain high even after your workout is over.
