LOSING FAT vs. BURNING FAT

March 7, 2010

Here is something that I think a lot of people overlook in their quest to lose body fat:
There is a major difference between BURNING Fat and LOSING fat.
Burning fat involves using your body fat as a fuel.
However this does NOT guarantee that you are losing body fat…

This is a common misconception.
If you are eating more than you need to, the fat your burned simply gets replaced by new fat.
That’s a WHOLE LOT of work, for ZERO results.

Lots of things can cause you to BURN more fat without guaranteeing you LOSE body fat.
Exercise comes to mind.
Think of all the claims you read:
“Burn 5 times more fat!”
“Increase fat burning by 120%!!”
They don’t really tell you that you will actually LOSE fat. (It’s just implied.)

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
