If you're like most people using some random diet and workout program you found either in a magazine or online, you're likely seeing some results from your efforts, but not quite the degree of results you had imagined you would.

When you first started up on your weight loss program, you expected to make a dramatic transformation. You were ready to put in the good effort and give it your all. But yet, despite doing so, you haven't seen the results to show for it (you don't count 2 pounds every 3 weeks as fantastic results).

If you're in the situation, like most people, you've begun to question whether there just isn't something else that you could be doing - something better - that would get you the results you're after.

Well, I'm here to tell you there is. When you know the top secrets that only the highest level trainers understand that really ramp up the fat burning process, then you can apply them to your own program and see the success you deserve.

Let's go over two of these secrets right now to get you on the right track. Both of these are going to totally shock your body and trick it so that it burns more calories on a daily basis. Remember, your basic metabolic rate, that is how many calories you burn at rest, accounts for the largest portion of your total calorie burn so any time you can do something to increase this, you'll be taking a large leap forward in the right direction.

Both of these strategies do just that.

1. Stagger Your Calorie Intake

The first secret that you must know for successful fat loss is that you should never ever stay at the same calorie intake for weeks at a time. When you do this, your body is just going to adjust to this calorie intake and slow its metabolism right down to meet it.

Before long, you've stopped losing body fat and are caught in a nasty plateau.

To help overcome this, start staggering your calorie intake. Some days aim to take in a higher calorie intake and other days, bring it down much lower. By doing this you'll keep your metabolism revved at all times so that you burn more calories 24/7.

As a result, you'll have that much better overall rates of fat loss plus you won't deal with those feelings of hunger for days at a time like you used to.

2. Reverse Your Exercise Order

Like many others, you probably go into the gym and perform the same workout over and over and over again. You have your favorite exercises that really get you feeling it that you do in sequential order from start to finish.

And, you feel like you've gotten in a good workout once you're done. But now, let me tell you about one way that you can chance that from good to great.

The fact of the matter is that the body will always respond best to the unknown. Any time you go changing something about your workout program, it sits up and responds as it's something that it's never encountered before.

As it does this, it's going to burn more calories not only during the workout session itself, but then later on recovering from that new workout stimulus that it just had to fight through.

One very quick and easy way to do this is to simply reverse the order of exercises you perform. If you're already doing high intensity circuits as a means to burn fat, try doing the exercises you normally do in opposite order.

This is really going to wake up your system and not only boost your fitness but enhance your fat loss as well.

So there you have two fast and easy fat burning secrets that you can implement into your workout program immediately to get better results. To learn more highly effective techniques to jump start your progress, be sure to check the fitness portion of the website that your followed.

It happens to almost everyone. You’re going along with your workout and diet program, things are going wonderfully and then one day, you lose it.

Perhaps a work function came up in the evening that caused you to skip your normal workout session or there was a plate of cookies in the break room that you had resisted all day long and then in a fit of stress at the end of the day, you just gave in as you needed the emotional comfort you know they would offer.

Whatever the case, you’ve faced a set-back and now have to get back on track so that you can move forward and start seeing the results that you’re after once again.

But how do you do this?

How can you jump right on the bandwagon? For some people, it’s not nearly as easy as it seems. That first set-back could potentially cause them to detour off track, spending a full week trying to get back on track again and see the results they’re going for.

Let’s go over a few of the key tips to keep in mind regarding how you can get back on track should a set-back occur.

Accept The Set-Back

The very first thing that you must do is accept the fact that the set-back occurred in the first place. Don’t stay in denial about the fact that you slipped up on your program, accept it so that you can move on.

Far too many people will sit there and ruminate in the fact that they experienced this setback and this really isn’t going to serve them well in any regard.

Not only will they dwell upon the mistake and stay in the negative frame of mind, but they’ll also suffer a reduced level of self-belief in their capability to stick with the plan if they’re continually thinking about their set-back.

Accept it and begin to move on.

Remind Yourself Of The Positives

Moving along, the next thing that you should be doing is reminding yourself of the positives. What good will come due to the set-back?

While it may seem like no good could come from falling off your plan, this isn’t always the case.

If you’ve been working very hard in the gym for weeks on end, the extra day off could serve you very well as it’ll enhance your overall level of recovery.

If it was a diet mistake, this could actually help to boost your metabolic rate and shock your system into burning up more calories again so that now that you’re moving back onto the diet, you’re seeing a faster rate of fat loss success.

Keeping these positives in mind can help you shed some light on the situation and keep you in that positive state of mind.

Look Back Over Your Progress

Moving along, also make sure that you remind yourself how far you really have come. Don’t ever lose sight of the fact that you have been working hard and are seeing great progress already.

If you suffer a set-back, yes, you may have had a slight blimp in the results that you’ll see, but it’s nothing compared to the grand scheme of things.

Have a look back over your training journal or any progress pictures you’ve taken along the way so that you can clearly see just how far you’ve come.

This keeps things in perspective and will help ensure that you’re not making a mountain out of a molehill.

Map Out Your Plan

The next step to get past any set-back that you happen to experience as you go along your program plan is to map out your plan to move forward.

Maybe your workouts are starting to get boring and that’s why you experienced the set-back in the first place.

Or, perhaps you really aren’t eating enough calories on a day to day basis and the constant hunger has just been too much to handle.

Remember that sometimes you do need to make adjustments to your program plan as you go about it, so review what you’re doing and see if there is something that isn’t quite working as it should.

A few simple tweaks to the program plan could be just the thing to get you back on track and moving forward again.

Remove Temptation

Finally, the last step to getting past a set-back and making sure that you’re moving forward onto greater levels of success is to remove all temptation.

If you have foods lurking around the house that are going to tempt you and make you want to cheat on your diet plan, this is only going to increase the chances that you do give in and eat those up at some point or another.

Everyone has their weak moments and during those times, if temptation is right around the corner and easily accessible, the chances that you pass it off will be slim to none.

This applies to almost everyone – whether or not you have a good level of willpower.

Likewise with your workouts, make sure that you are always scheduling your workouts into your day so there’s less of a chance that something will come up and eat away at your time – time that should have been spent doing the workout session.

The more regular you can keep your workout sessions in terms of time performed throughout the week, the more of a habit they’ll be and something that you don’t think twice about.

So there you have the primary steps to take if you find yourself facing a set-back. Remember that very often it’s not the actual set-back that will cause problems with your progress but rather how you choose to deal with this set-back instead.

Be smart and you can move right along and get back on track to moving forward and seeing the success you’re after.
