People spend a fortune every year in the hopes of losing weight, and still the number of obese people continues to climb. If weight loss is so simple, then why do we keep missing the mark?
It's because we get it in our heads from the advertising, that losing weight is quick, and a short-term endeavor. They tell us all we need to do is follow this diet and we'll get there fast. So we start the diet, lose some weight, then revert back to our old habits and gain the weight back. What really needs to happen is a change in lifestyle, and the development of new habits, so that just by the way you live you keep the weight off. Eating healthy and exercising are the two main factors in weight loss.
Below are 3 things that are needed for you to lose weight and keep it off:
What You Eat Is Important - If you keep grabbing for the most convenient foods all the time, you'll find it's usually the most unhealthy. And unless you change this habit, you'll find it very difficult to lose weight. You need to take the time to plan out what you're going to eat. You should eat smaller meals, but eat more of them per day. About every three hours you should ingest a small meal with some good protein in it. This will rev up your metabolism. Eating like this will take a little planning so you'll be able to stay withing the three hour rule.
Exercise - If you've realized that you are now overweight, then this means you're probably under-muscled. Today's lifestyles just don't engage us in a lot of physical activity. And this is what we need to keep strong muscles. So this calls for an exercise program that is made up of strength training. Fat gets burned in the muscle tissue, and this causes weight loss. Strength training will boost your metabolism and work directly on your muscles.
Your Lifestyle Matters - You may want to give some of those television shows a rest and use that time to focus on working out. You may want to get up a little earlier to use that time for your workout. And take a long hard look at what you do in the course of a day, and do more things that require you to be active than the things you do while seated.
There are a lot of people who use their business as their excuse for neglecting their health. So they remain overweight with an excuse. They just can't seem to find the time to workout and focus on their diets. If you can't take the responsibility for your health, then you'll never be able to change it.
