Healthy Weight Loss Article:
The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets
and fad diets nor sudden bursts of exercise. The body likes slow
changes in terms of food and exercise. For example, someone who
has not exercised for years should not rush into running three
miles every day. Exercise needs to be increased slowly.
People who eat a lot will experience problems if they suddenly
start starving themselves. Introduce changes gradually. Even relatively
light exercise such as a short walk may be beneficial if done
frequently. The calories you eat minus what you use in exercise
and maintaining your body will be stored as fat.
Someone that increases the amount they exercise, but maintains
the same diet and calorie intake, will almost certainly lose weight.
How to exercise in a fun way
Thankfully we are all different in our likes and dislikes
and, therefore, exercise in a variety of ways. It is essential
that you find an activity that is enjoyable, appropriate, accessible
and affordable for you. That way you are far more likely to build
it into your routine and continue regular exercise, despite the
inevitable set backs due to illness, family commitments, etc.
For people who do not like sweating in a fitness studio
there are fun alternatives.
When going to the local park, nature trails or trips
to the seaside, try to incorporate longer walks into the outing
and take a picnic so you are in control of what you are going
to eat that day.
Always use the stairs instead of the lift. Bear in mind that
every single step helps.
Get off the bus a stop before the usual one and walk the rest
of the way.
Use commercial breaks between TV-programmes to stand up and do
exercise, or consider using an exercise bicycle in your living
room while watching your favourite programme.
Reduce calories
For many people it may be beneficial to reduce their
calorie intake by eating less and eating more healthily. It is
not necessary to crash diet. This usually ends up with the person
concerned either getting weaker or giving up completely in desperation.
This in turn can lead to a yo-yoing effect of the weight loss
- weight gain cycle. Cut down on fatty foods and eat more bread,
fruit and vegetables.
Eating 300 to 500 calories less per day, may lead to losing between
one and two pounds per week. This is a realistic weight loss.
It may seem slow, but would add up to a weight loss of more than
three stone in a year.
Having a glass of water instead of juice, eating less lunch than
usual and having smaller portions of the food you enjoy are all
ways to reduce calorific intake without having to necessarily
alter your diet significantly. Avoid a second helping at dinner
and snacks between meals, which may have become a habit. Cut down
on beer and alcohol. All these things will influence your health
in a positive way.
Write down your weight every week
From the day you decide to lose weight, weigh yourself
once or twice a week before breakfast. Keep a record of this weight
and see the pattern that develops.
Be patient and persevere
It might take a week or two before the results will show,
but they will steadily appear. After the first month you will
be able to both see the results and measure them.
Rewarding oneself with something nice for reaching certain targets
can be beneficial. For example, going to the movies or getting
a new CD to celebrate the progress - whatever suits you as an
individual for all your hard work.
You must not forget to share your joy with your friends and relations.
Explain to them how you are losing weight because other people's
support is valuable.
Let's face it: if a person is really serious about fighting their
weight problem, then they can no longer enjoy lots of food, cakes
and sweets. This does not mean that they have to completely cut
out everything unhealthy - that would be torture. But they can
learn how to enjoy these foods in small quantities.
Every single time a person exercises more than usual, they burn
calories and fat. Avoid being impatient and remind yourself that
the results will slowly manifest themselves. Remember that there
are no shortcuts to losing weight in a healthy and reasonable
way.
