Fat Loss In The New Year

Fat Loss 2014

The reason you start does matter, but other reasons are sure to pop up along the way. One aspiration or goal such as losing fifty lbs. in eighteen months is sure to get you started, but I strongly advise to break that goal down and focus on achieving seemingly minuscule goals. Let me give you an example. I had a client seek my help on the third day of January, 2013. Let's call her Cynthia.

-Cynthia didn't care for exercise, but was finally fed up with the way she looked and was ready for a change.

- She didn't even like to "glisten" (sweat) as she called it.

- I asked her what her goals were as I do with everyone and she told me that she wanted to "get in better shape". That was simply not going to cut it.

- After asking her a few follow up questions we were able to clarify exactly what she wanted to accomplish and what "getting in better shape" actually meant.

You see, it is very hard to stay accountable to your goals if they are not specific and based on a timeframe. Let's get back to Cynthia. We figured out that she wanted to lose forty pounds and eight percent body fat by January, 2014. I further broke this goal into smaller monthly goals. All she had to do to reach her big goal was lose 3.33 lbs. a month! Her response: that should be no problem at all! She was even more excited when we further broke this down to losing under a pound per week. I am so infinitely proud to say that Cynthia decided to train with me and by this day December 23, 2013 she has lost 32 pounds. I could not be more proud and she surprised everyone, including herself.

My purpose for writing this article is to attempt to dissuade you from entertaining the skeptics who downplay your resolution to exercise consistently. If you find the urge to take advantage of the positive energy of the resolution season, then do it! Ride this wave as far as it takes you. When the time comes to catch another wave (reason or goal) you'll be ready to keep surfing. I have a professional obligation to say that you should find someone to help you break down your goals and hatch a plan. Is it best that you find a trainer? Yes, it is, but it doesn't have to be. It could just as easily be anyone with considerable exercise experience that has a positive influence on you. Make the right decision and choose hope and optimism over cynicism, no matter how many times you have tried and failed! Once you dedicate yourself this fitness thing is too easy.

How Fast Weight Loss Can Be Achieved

Fast Weight Loss

Losing weight is a major struggle for many people especially those who are at the age of 40 years old and above simple because their rate of metabolism tends to become slower. Moreoever, age also causes certain hormonal changes which makes losing weight a lot more difficult. Now this may sound so overwhelming for someone who is just starting to want to push on with having a healthier lifestyle.

Basically, losing weight is not that difficult if you know the science and principles of weight gain and weight loss. The fact is, it is important that whatever you take in or eat, you should be able to metabolize it in order to convert it into energy and sufficient nutrients needed by the various vital organs in your body.

Here are some tips that could greatly help you lose weight.

1. Proper diet

Proper diet means that you should be able to know what you are eating. As much as possible stay away from food which are high in cholesterol. If this is difficult, then I suggest to eat your favorite in moderation. Moreover, it would be great if you could eat a lot of fruit because they could easily suppress your appetite. If possible, you could consult a dietician or a nutritionist so they could provide you with information on how much you should be eating daily.

2. Proper exercise

Exercise is vital in order to again a healthier body. Without proper exercise, the fats in your body will lie dormant and eventually just get bigger and bigger. It is important that you do daily exercises in order to sweat them off and at the same time make your vital organs especially the heart and lungs more active. The more physical exercise you do everyday, the more fats your burn. If you are aiming to trim down your body size, then I would suggest doing cardiovascular exercise simply because they can burn a lot of calories.

3. Proper supplements

When it comes to weight loss supplements, a lot of people usually have their own opinion on what is most effective. On my opinion, it is important that you choose the weight loss supplements that are effective, safe and are proven by the food and drug administration. Also, make sure that you go for ones that have a good reputation. Such weight loss supplements that come to mind are raspberry ketones, garcinia cambogia and green coffee bean extract.

3 Offbeat Ways to Lose Weight

3 Offbeat Ways to Lose Weight

This article is about the unexpected ways that I've drastically lost weight. It's a little strange that I'm writing this since I've spent most of my life trying to gain weight. But there are more people trying to lose weight than gain it. Hopefully, this will help those trying to slim down.

Cut out _______

sugar. Sugar seems to be bad for you in so many ways: your teeth, your health, your skin. So I decided to cut sugar out of my life for a short while. It was not that hard, which was surprising since I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I lost some weight, which I didn't intend to do but should have anticipated. After all, I was cutting out a type of caloric-rich food. So if you are trying to lose weight and are in the habit of eating lots of sweets, try giving up sugar.

Or try cutting out whatever type of food is your Achilles' heel. My sister, who goes on the occasional diet, once joked that she could become a vegetarian if she did not love steak so much. She also loves pudding, alfredo sauce, and other rich, fatty foods. Maybe you like to put sour cream on everything. Or maybe you like to make all your desserts a la mode. Try giving up the food item that you think you can't live without.

Walk to _______

work. I lost a lot of weight when I walked to work. In the mornings, the bus only came by my apartment in one-hour intervals, which meant arriving at work ridiculously early. I chose to walk. Since I'm also a huge procrastinator, getting out of bed at the last possible minute, that often meant half an hour of power-walking.

I've seen similar tips about losing weight in little ways, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking in the space that is farthest from the office in order to force oneself to walk across the parking lot to get to work. These are little steps you could take that eventually add up and make a big difference. Or you could take a weekend errand that you usually accomplish by car and choose to walk there.

Stick to _______

your budget, or grocery list, or meal plan, or diet. Want to know a really great way to lose weight? Lose your job. Nothing forces you to stick to your meal plan like limited funds. Not only will you lose weight, your savings and self-esteem will go down with it. I call it the recession diet.

Or you can take the less drastic approach and place restrictions on yourself. Stick to your grocery list and don't buy any extra snacks. If you use cash, only bring enough to pay for the groceries you were planning to buy. Make a plan and stick to it. That goes for any diet or budget you want to make successful.
