Enjoying Your Weight Loss

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Weight loss doesn’t have to be something that you dread every day of the week.

You should be eating good healthy food that doesn’t leave you feeling starved, although initially, you might feel that way as you change from the bulk poor quality food that you’ve been eating to smaller portions of better quality food.

It can take time for your body to adjust and one of the best ways to help out in this situation is to drink more water.

Most people realize that exercise is one of the best ways of losing weight although there are a lot of people who are reluctant to exercise for one reason or another.

For those people who are obese, it can be quite difficult to exercise although there are forms of exercise that can be done by anybody in a safe and healthy way.

Swimming, biking and walking are three very good low impact forms of exercise that can improve your fitness and reduce your body weight. They can speed up your metabolism and help you to burn fat. Swimming in particular is very good for people who are overweight in the event that they find waking difficult.

Recently Nordic walking has become a lot more popular and this is a particularly good form of exercise for two reasons.

Firstly, by using the poles when you are walking, you are using a lot more of your upper body muscles for the exercise and in doing so, this helps to burn more calories that walking without the.

The other benefit of using the poles when walking is the fact that it takes a lot of the stress off your knees and hips and this can be a godsend for oversized people who find that their joints take quite a hammering when walking due to their weight.

Is it no wonder that Nordic walking is becoming one of the most popular forms of exercise throught the country.

Retaining Your Muscle Mass

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

Retaining your muscle mass, while on a weight loss program, is one of the most important aspects that you need to concentrate on, as this will help you to keep your fat percentage down long-term.

On the ultra low calorie diets, the body begins to cannibalize its own muscle tissue as its defense mechanisms come into play.

An example of this is shown with some of these apparently slim fashion models who have quite high levels of body fat in proportion to their overall size.

The reason for this is the fact that they haven’t done any form of exercise or resistance training to maintain any reasonable level of muscle mass and this is only made worse by the fact that they are often eating a very low quality diet and nutrition is lacking.

It is not uncommon to see skinny models with cellulite and that is a sure sign that they are retaining fat in a higher percentage than they should be.

They would find that if they added a little bit of resistance training or even some form of decent exercise to their daily routine, they would be able to still retain a slim figure but the body fat percentage would be considerably lower and they would look a lot more toned and healthy.

And healthy is what you should be aiming for when you go on a weight loss program and not simply losing weight, as actually improving your overall health and well-being will help you to live a better lifestyle for a lot longer.

Increasing your muscle mass also improves your metabolic rate whereas body fat has a very low level of metabolic activity. Nutritionists regard muscle as the furnace that burns in the body and this is what you should be aiming for.

If more weight loss programs focused on retaining muscle mass, people would be unlikely to put the weight back on rapidly once they finished the program.

Your Beliefs Are Your Reality

Monday, July 14th, 2008

What you believe is what you will get and this is particularly so with weight loss.

How many times do you say that you have finished lunch or dinner only to pick up another piece of food and eat it? Many people do this on a regular basis and they have programmed their mind to believe that there is always more to come simply by the actions that they are taking on a regular basis.

How many times do you cut the cake in half intending to only eat that portion and then go back and eat the other half immediately after?

When you are cutting that cake, in your mind, you already know that you will be getting the rest and you are falsely kidding yourself into believing that the process of cutting off half is doing you some form of good.

In fact, it is better to decide on how much you will be eating and then eating that portion even if it is the whole amount because you will at least be true to yourself.

If you are constantly allowing yourself to fail by succumbing to additional food, then you are training your belief system in a negative way and this begins to affect all aspects of your life.

It doesn’t matter what you say to other people or what you try to have them believe. It is not helping you one bit to tell everyone that you won’t be eating any more cake. What matters is what you do and whether you are doing what you say you will do.

Your beliefs are your reality and if you believe that there are many different reasons why you can’t lose weight, then the reality of your life will be that you won’t lose weight.

If you believe that your genes or your metabolism are responsible for your over weight condition, then that is what you will be even though a change in diet and exercise will make a difference.

Getting your mind to understand and accept the true reality is one of the biggest hurdles for most people who are trying to make changes in their life.

Believe you can do it and you will - there is no doubt about that!
