Awesome article on fat loss

Take-aways I could really benefit from in "12 Reasons You're Not Losing Fat"

start sprinting
Two or three 20-40 minute sprint or sled sessions per week will be enough for most people.

more protein
Let’s assume she weighs 135 pounds. Most experts would agree that she would need to consume at least 100 grams of protein per day, if not a gram per pound, which would equal 135 grams.

regulate fats
A minimum of 20% of your calories should come from healthy fats like pastured egg yolks, wild caught salmon, grass fed beef and coconut oil to ensure optimal health. 

Less carbs and only at the right time
In that case I would only recommend vegetables and 50-100 grams of starchy carbs from potatoes or rice with your nightly meal or post workout. Another option is to go three days with no starchy carbs then load up on day four. When you get down to 15% you can increase the amount of carbs at dinner or in your refeed day.
