Avoid Consuming Energy Drinks To Effectively Burn Body Fat From A Workout

If you consume energy drinks such as Gatorade and Red Bull before or during your workout, you are making a mistake.

I once believed drinking energy drinks was a good thing to supply me with energy to workout hard. Here's the problem with this - you are getting your energy from an outside source. You are burning calories from the drink, but what you want to do is burn body fat as much as possible.



Consider Fat Stored In Your Body To Be Energy Reserves

Our bodies store fat as fuel for emergency. It's primary source for getting this fuel is from the food and drinks we consume.

Energy drinks are effective at providing energy to the body, as they are simple sugars which are quickly used up by the body.

When you exercise your body will search for and burn any carbohydrates you have laying around. The only time it will access stored fat is when your primary fuel (the energy from food) is completely used up.

Getting Rid Of The primary Source Of Energy To Burn More Body Fat

Whenever you drink sports or energy drinks containing calories, you will need to burn off all of those calories before your body will access your fat stores.

It is my opinion that one should not drink those calories in the first place.

By doing this you'll be burning body fat every minute of doing your fat-burning exercises. If you do not have those calorie-rich energy drinks in your body, then it's body fat that's going to get burned when you workout.

How About Not eating A Single Calorie Up To 4 Hours Before Your A Workout

Do you want to burn off body fat fast? Then, don't consume any source of calories at all four hours prior to your workout. You will feel a big difference when you exercise. Your body will be in the fat burning zone and you will feel it.

There is almost a certain look of your muscles when your body is in a low-carb state. I can tell by looking at people if they will be able to burn body fat from their workout. As a hint: most people don't prep their bodies properly.

The Alternative Drink For A Workout

Green tea is a great alternative to get a surge of energy for your workout without the calories. The amazing thing about green tea is that it is very healthy as well.

Green tea is a tremendous source of antioxidants which fights the increase in free radicals that is caused by exercise. I like to drink green tea while it's still hot, because it seems to warm my body up and work better (this is only from my experience, this isn't based on scientific proof).

Drink green tea for your workout, and avoid drinking energy drinks. You will get much better fat burning results.
