Understanding Weight Loss
Its time to get on top of weight loss. There are so many conflicting approaches out there, so no wonder so many people (probably yourself included) is confused about how to shed that weight for good. Well, lets go through some basic ideas behind weight loss and how begin getting in shape NOW.
One word that I cringe at are diets. Why? Well, they do not offer a sustainable, long-term solution. Do you know this from first-hand experience? For example, have you dieted, then stopped, only to gain weight? I will let you in on a little secret - all diets will yield this same result! So rule number one is to avoid a diet.
Fad dieting is one thing, fad exercise machines are the next. I would be highly sceptical of any machine that is advertised on television to build a six pack, or sculpt your thighs. As a professional, I am yet to see a machine that actually delivers on these empty promises. Save your money.
Weight loss products such as pills are a definite miss without a sound plan of attack. They should not be the foundation to your weight loss endeavours. This is a short-term fix, completely unhealthy and misguided. If they are the centre of your weight loss attempts, you need to throw them away and get some professional assistance to point you in the right direction for long-term success.
Believe it or not, lifestyle is the key factor to weight loss in most individuals. So, if we make some changes here, big weight loss will be induced in the long-term!
For starters, exercise is a key ingredient to maximum weight loss. Yes, this is common sense, but many people avoid exercise like the plague.
Please do not think that I am in anyway suggesting to dedicate your life to exercise. This is definitely not a long-term solution. We need to focus on something that is sustainable. So, you could try hiking with a friend or going for a jog in the morning before work. Find something that you like doing, rather than something that is a chore.
Dietary intake, as I am sure you would be aware, is very important. So, watch what you eat. You know the drill, eat a variety of foods that are healthy. But to lose weight, you just need to take in less kilojoules than what you presently consume. So try making your portion sizes smaller as a start.
Here is the important tip - with both exercise and nutrition, do not go too extreme. Remember, you have to be able to form a routine and sustain it in the long-term. Find something enjoyable so you can actually look forward to losing weight! - 17273
