Calories: Time to Burn!
Losing
weight is a challenge. It requires the same careful consideration that
you would give to any serious endeavor; don't fail to plan. But, create
a plan that is realistic. Allow for interruptions such as sickness or
travel. Plan to start during a quiet time in your life, not when work
and family responsibilities are likely to be at their peak.
You may prefer to start with an exercise program and then add in
dietary changes. Or you may want to do it the other way around. If
you're really motivated, you may want to start both the exercise and
diet segments simultaneously.
Your diet
Very few aspects of your life are as emotionally charged as securing
your right to choose for yourself. From early childhood until today,
one of the most frequent choices you make concerns your diet. You must
have choices and they must be your own. Recognize that restricting
yourself from available choices goes against your very nature. A
restrictive diet is doomed to failure. Select a diet that is
uncomplicated and appealing to you and you will have a greater chance
for success.
The first challenge we face in diet selection is committing to the
discipline of thinking ahead instead of eating impulsively. So, start
with something small and attainable:
- Many health experts recommend fresh fruits and vegetables daily
- 5 servings for children
- 7 servings for women
- 9 servings for men
- Add high quality protein to your diet
- Drink plenty of water
These are easy steps that you can accomplish today! Remember, the time you spend selecting the right diet for yourself is an investment in your health and your future. Give it the attention it deserves.
Calories in – calories OUT!We must burn more calories than we consume in order for weight loss to occur.
Exercise
is the key to permanent, lifetime weight control. There is no way
around it. However, exercise does not have to be a punishment; it can
really be pleasurable. The key is finding something you enjoy doing. I
suggest that you start with three forms of activity; this prevents
exercise boredom. Add more activities every month. Get in the habit of
participating in at least 30 minutes of activity every day.
There are basically two types of exercise that you need every week:
- Aerobic exercise is defined as any activity that
increases your need for oxygen. Aerobics make you breathe harder. You
need at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days of the week.
Aerobic exercise can balance hormones, relieve anxiety and depression, and mobilize your energy for the great works of your life. Aerobic exercise speeds up your metabolism.
But where does metabolism originate? It comes from your lean body mass – your muscles! That is the domain of resistance training. - Progressive resistance training is defined as any exercise where the load to the muscle is increased by some mechanical means – weights, bands, springs, and many other methods. The key is to progressively increase the weight or resistance over time. This results in more lean body mass and less fat mass. If you increase your muscle strength, you increase the "engines" that produce muscle energy. Nothing builds metabolism (muscle energy) as well as progressive resistance training.
The Leanology Smart Weight Loss System can also be an important part of your weight loss plan. For many people it represents the critical difference between success and failure in lifetime weight control.
