What Is True Weight Loss & Health?

Every day people are gaining weight, feeling sluggish, and not having the satisfaction fit people feel about themselves every day. Why does it matter if a person is fit or not? Some of the biggest reasons to improve their health are limit diseases, career, energy and satisfaction of life.

Thousand of people have become expert yo-yo dieters as they go from one exercise or diet plan to the next as nothing is giving you long lasting results. But most of all, people are tired and frustrated that all their hard work and dedication was for nothing with nothing to show for it.

Eating healthy and achieving weight loss is easier than you could imagine and does not have to be a struggle and frustrating when done correctly. I encourage you to learn the truth and simplicity in creating a healthy eating plan for successful weight loss, improving fitness level, and feeling better about yourself each and every day.

True long-lasting weight loss is not a 6-week exercise or diet program but a life of healthy eating and exercise. That’s it!

Eating Healthy for Weight Loss

Eating healthy and creating a diet & exercise program is not choosing a certain diet like South Beach, Atkins or Weight Watchers. Creating a diet & exercise program is taking your goals, your activity level, your schedule, and of course the foods you like into a healthy eating plan that you will be able to stick to.

Working with people each day I see and hear the same things over and over again that you can imagine I roll my eyes or shaking my head a lot. Things like going on a diet for four months to lose 20 pounds, losing weight without exercise, eating only certain foods, etc. that should be common sense but I guess people always want a magic solution for everything.

Achieving weight loss and well-being is a day-to-day lifestyle that takes change and discipline. When living a healthy living it becomes second nature to eat healthy and to exercise and that is what needs to happened for long lasting weight loss.

Eating Tips for Weight Loss

• Eat a healthy breakfast
• More carbohydrates in the morning and less at night
• Increase lean protein
• Consume complex carbohydrates
• Eat 4 to 5 small meals daily
• Cut most liquid calories
• And of course, drink lots of water!

Exercise for a Lean & Fit Physique

I can’t remember how many times I have heard sayings like “I walk 5 miles every day,” “I will eat less,” or my favorite “I do an hour of cardio exercise a day and still get no results.” It is time to explain why these sayings are foolish and only excuses as the answers are the following:

• First Reason. They don’t even monitor their eating and think exercise will be enough lose weight.
• Second Reason. Exercise is not intense enough to lose weight effectively.
• Third Reason. They don’t exercise on a regular basis to keep a certain fitness level.

Cardio exercise and weight training are by far the best way to lose weight, tone and firm your body and accelerate your metabolism. When eating healthy and exercise are implemented into a lifestyle, achieving desired results becomes a regular weekly thing.

If you want to lean and tone your body that lifting weights is crucial. Depending on your body type the basic repetition range is 10 to 15 or for more endurance increase to 15 to 20 repetitions. Rest is also another factor you must decide on but for burning fat keep the resting less than 30 seconds and if possible rest in shorter periods. Keep the weight heavy enough that it burns your arms but not so much that you can’t keep good form.

Conclusion

When people thought they could do one without the other and still get the weight loss results, boy where they wrong. Knowing that exercising and eating healthy go hand in hand is something that people don’t want to accept but it is true. One without the other will only leave you depressed on what minimal fitness gains you have made. Don’t neglect or exercise and accelerate in both for optimal fitness and health.

Have a great day and God bless!
