How do you lose weight?
I get asked this million dollar question MANY times, I think it would be best to lay my thoughts down in my blog. I do not lay claim that they will be the best method for you, BUT I am writing this from my very own point of view, as simple as possible and I strive to make it very doable for you. Nothing over the top, no expensive equipment needed and as long as you put your mind and heart to it, you will be so amazed at what you can achieve.
Do you want to lose weight JUST to look skinny or do you actually want to have a revamped lifestyle altogether?
Do you want to be generally strong, healthy, feel good, and LOOK good? How long do you think you would like to stay committed to this?
What do you want from losing weight?
There really is no short cut to it.
There are many ways to define physical fitness. It is helpful to think about physical fitness in relation to specify training. In simple words, exercise which develops cardiovascular endurance is not very effective in developing muscular strength.
Resistance training, such as weight lifting is the best way to increase strength, but it is not the most effective way to improve cardiovascular fitness.
Logically you cannot become skinny by lifting weights. A simple answer for you would be cardio and dieting. Yes, the super dreaded BORING running, RPM and all those yucky tasteless oats and breastmeat!! YUCK DAMNit! ( ok ok fine I’m part kidding, I sound so frustrated and deprived, geez I will blame it all on the dieting) No celebrity in Hollywood became so toned up and beautiful by eating hamburgers, darling. Its all a lie when they say so.
How do I get a flat toned tummy or even a 6 pack?
Get rid of excess fat in your body with the boring dreaded cardio and diet, darling. Abstain from everything oily and with taste. Do a 150 situps, 50 leg raises and 50 abdominal crunches DAILY.
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE WISE FOOD CHOICES?
Why are we so tempted to eat foods that we know we should avoid? What triggers our eating habits? Why do we like high fat, high calorie foods?
I do admit I have food cravings more often than I should. So I compromise. I don’t deny myself completely of rich fattening foods (I admit) because that would be insane, I’m only human and I deserve to enjoy the finer things in life. So to control my diet, I take a mouthful of whatever sinful dessert that might land in front of me instead of finishing the whole piece. I drink a bottle of beer instead of binging like 7 bottles at one go.How do you select foods with good nutritional values and yet not compromise on the taste or texture of it?
