How to reduce weight







In today’s times, how to reduce weight has become a nightmare! The weight depends upon the energy intake and how much it is used by our body. The body can accept slow changes in terms of exercise and food thus; ample of exercises or drastic cut in diet is not a healthiest way to lose weight. For example, those who haven’t exercised for years shouldn’t hurry into running or any kind of exercise as it is likely to set their fitness levels back. Likewise, one shouldn’t starve suddenly as there are certain nutrients and vitamins that your body needs and by restricting these, it can lead to many deficiencies. What one should do to lose weight the healthy way? The food is used for energy in our body and the excess energy is stored as a fat, thus, the more food you eat as compared to the requirement of your body for daily activities, it will lead to weight gain. In order to lose weight, the fat stored needs to be used up and the most efficient way to do this is:

•         Reduction in the amount of calories intake
•         Activity levels should be increased.

This is why the doctors talk about weight loss in terms of exercise and diet.

30 DAY FITNESS PLAN

Reducing weight is not difficult considering all the techniques that one can find today. It’s keeping that weight off that is always the end issue. Researches conducted by medical associations have shown that almost 80% of the people actually put on weight within three years of weight loss plans. So if you want to get a better shape in 30 days then let us give you a plan that will surely help you keep those extra pounds off.




• 1,500 calorie diet: daily diet of a person should not surpass this count. This low calorie count is difficult to keep track of but is very useful. Your meals should be high in nutritional value. First off, try to prepare your meals yourself so that you can substitute ingredients as you will, for better nutritional value.

• Low sugar diet: sugar basically carries a calorie that gets stored as fats in your body. Cut out sugary drinks, and snacks from your meals to get a better shape in 30 days. Especially the soft drinks are a big no no! Sugar from fruits is a good supplement for sugar cravings.

• Use the best carbs: high protein and low carb diets have long been debated against by medical researchers. It is a general observation that low carb diet has long term health issues. Always choose complex carb that include fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods.

With healthy exercise and balanced diet, there is no reason why a person cannot get the desired fitness in just 30 days. It is worth a try!

POINTERS FOR THE SELECTION OF DIET METHODS THAT WORK

Are you feeling grim because your last diet method didn’t work? Well that is no wonder. A study shows that in the weight loss industry 95% of the diets fail. Obesity is the second reason of fatality, which can be prevented, in the US only. Almost 68% of the whole world is in diet plans. Diet plans are expensive and they do not permanently work.

Here we will discuss the best diet to reduce fats. Here are some pointers:

• One thing that you need to take care of is to select a diet that acknowledges that sugar is the enemy.

• Never use a diet that binds you to one food only. A diet should comprise of meal plans and portion sizes rather than making you eat cabbage soup only!

• Avoid diets that suggest you to take shakes, supplements or pre-packaged foods.

• Crash diet may seem a smart choice to you, but research shows that within the three year period more weight is gained as soon as the diet is dropped.

• Always consider your physical condition before taking on a diet. Sometimes a diet may seriously disturb your metabolism.

• High protein and low carb diets cause constipation. Medical associations actually suggest that you should at least limit your carb intake to 60%.




Keep these pointers in mind while selecting your diet plan.

EASY ACCESS TO A SMART FIGURE

There are many ways a person can get a trimmer figure. Be it an extensive diet plan, daily exercises, or famous pills all are quite commonly adopted by people who are weight conscious. But one of the easy ways to get slim is simply to increase fluid intake. Researches have shown that people who take 8-12 glasses of water daily have little to none weight issues. Water is a natural detoxifier for human body. Water not only nourishes the inner system but also provides a glow to the outer skin. Most importantly it’s the cheapest source of losing weight.




There exists a famous diet called ‘water diet’, that suggests that the person drinks at least 64 ounces of water (preferably refrigerated) during regular intervals throughout the day. The water should not be sweetened or flavored. It should be drunk before mealtimes so as to provide a feeling of fullness to the stomach hence making you less hungry. Initially this water intake would result in frequent urination, and people might feel drained. Take a multivitamin to restore the nutrients that you lose because of frequent urination. Most importantly do not replace mealtimes with water. This kind of starvation leads to enhanced appetite, which causes one to eat more as soon as the guard drops. This process is a long term plan to get slim but the end result is a slimmer and a glowing “You”!

Slower is Better (Reduce Weight Slowly)


Are you young yet don’t want to hang out with friends? Do you feel that whatever you wear just don’t look good on you due to the extra fat that you carry along? Have you lost all your hopes, to reduce your fat? Well, before starting to discuss the main points, clear one thing in mind that “it is never too late to start”. I personally suffered the same thing when I was in my teens. In fact at the age of 22 I was really fat and had bulges all over my body. Then one day I decided to start the minimum effort to reduce those extra bulges that I used to carry along. 

I can remember I started with 15 minutes’ walk. Not brisk – but normal walk. I used to think that those 15 minutes were like 15 centuries for me. Initially it was hard to continue as I had many distractions and the only thing that made me follow the routine was a simple thought, out of 24 hours i.e. 1,440 hours all I needed were 15 minutes to at least say that “I tried” within 3 weeks I increased the time to 20 to 25 minutes! It started to become a hobby. By the end of 2nd month I increased my walking time to 45 minutes with 10 – 15 minutes of exercise. I mostly used to do abdominal crunches and few stretching that I watched on local cable channel. I felt a great change in my body by the end of 3rd month!

I do not say that it is the most fasted way of reducing your fat, but it is definitely a way with which you will not bog down. Just few minutes of walk made me addicted to it and today, I can jog 1 hour at stretch! To me this is an achievement. I hope and wish for all those individuals who are over weight that they also try to take first step, no matter how small, I am sure it will turn out to be a journey of healthy life!

I personally did not go on protein diet or any fat reducing food! I just wanted to see what can be done without the intake of all such dietary products! The result is not bad at all.
Eat well, work out and start with practical goals!

I hope to receive your views and comments on this! (Only if you went that extra mile in your life as well)
