First of all, let us differentiate weight loss and fat loss. The name clearly states the difference, but I will explain it nonetheless: weight loss involves losing both muscle and fat, while fat loss is much healthier and denotes losing fat only and preserving muscle content as much as possible.

Clearly, fat loss is much harder to conduct than simply loosing overall weight. It requires some subtle dieting techniques and knowledge in both weight and cardio training.

First, you would want to reduce the overall intake of calories per day which will make the body dig deep into those fat resources and make them fuel your training and daily activities. But at the same time you would want to increase the intake of protein because your muscles would be in need of appropriate food. If you just drop the calorie intake in general muscles will soon start to break down (atrophy). As you continue to drop the calories in time you should increase the protein intake accordingly until you reach the minimal allowed calorie intake for your body weight and maximum protein intake for your body weight.

But what are the best and most suitable protein sources for this occasion? Certainly the best ones are found in food that derives from animal sources. These sources contain almost no fat and they include: fish, chicken breasts, turkey breasts, cottage cheese, egg white and all sorts of protein shakes. Make note that it is better to drink protein shakes that contain isolates of protein rather than concentrates. If you can afford it, prefer whey protein shakes instead of casein and albumin ones.

At the end, to make your trainings more interesting you can consider one of these GPS watches for runners or pay a visit to the Sport Headphones Running web site where you can find information on headphones that are made exclusively for joggers, runners and other cardio engaging people.
