Exercise Any Chance You Get
Keep moving. Make yourself busy with errands. Walk or ride a bike instead of driving to the store. If you do take the car, park as far away from the entrance as possible and walk the rest of the way there. Do the same at work. Shun the elevator and make a beeline for the stairs. Take a walk around your office building for fifteen minutes during lunch. At home, perform household chores from the dishes to the laundry. Not only are you getting a nifty workout, youre getting things done, too. Remember, as long as youre on the move, youre burning calories.
Muscle burns fat and calories all day long, even when you stay put and do absolutely nothing. Therefore, build more muscle! Do weights or strength training as this boosts metabolism, so that youre still losing the fat long after youve cooled down. You may notice at first that your body seems to be doing anything but lose weight, but that only means youre gaining muscle tissue, which will then help you lose fat and drop the pounds eventually.
When doing aerobic or cardiovascular exercises, the best time for this would be first thing in the morning, when your body does not have any carbohydrates to burn. To get the energy needed for your workout, your body will burn fat instead. Make sure you drink lots of water beforehand, though, to prevent dehydration.
One great motivation for having a proper exercise and fat loss program, as well as building muscle tissue, is the food you get to eat. If youve got plenty of muscles, then you can afford to eat a little more; and you dont have to worry about your body hoarding all the calories as the muscle will just burn them right up anyway. Thats not to say, however, that youre free to gorge on all the chips and sweets you can eat to your hearts desire (and demise). Neither should you deprive yourself of the occasional treat. Moderation is key. Remember, proper diet and nutrition go hand in hand with exercise.
Lose the Lard by Eating Right
Eat frequently but not heavily. Eating five or six small meals throughout the day is ideal than eating three bigger meals. Do not plunge yourself headlong into this, leaving no room to get accustomed to it. Take time to adjust, until you are comfortable with fewer portions at every meal. This strategy also helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently as it has fewer amounts to work on each time. Keep in mind to consume the most food at breakfast, and the least at dinner, as you have a whole day ahead of you to burn those calories you acquired in the morning.
Never allow yourself to get hungry as this slows metabolism considerably. When that happens, your body is not able to burn as much fat as you would like. Instead, it will only get greedy and will want to hold on to whatever you feed it when you do decide to eat, thus, making it more difficult to shed the extra fat.
Do not load up on carbohydrates, as this will keep your body too preoccupied to concentrate on the fat. Eat protein-rich foods like fish, poultry, eggs, beans, milk, and tofu, because protein takes longer to digest and requires the most energy in doing so. Thus, the act of digesting is, in itself, a calorie buster. Fiber foods such as wheat bread will make you fuller faster and, like water, is also very effective in flushing out toxins from the body.
Following a proper exercise and fat loss program really arent that complicated after all. And dont worry about the smallest of actions not making the slightest bit of difference. They do. The numbers may be negligible, but they all add up eventuallyand quite sizably, too.
