Weight Loss Strategies
When it comes to weight loss, it is true that there is no
one-size-fits-all solution. What works in
your good
friend might
not give
you the results you want. This is because of the fundamental fact
that the biological responses to each and everyone's body is different and the
reason for that depends on various genetical and diet factors. Therefore, in
order to determine, what works best for you, you need to try few different
options and be patient with each one of them until you hit the jackpot of your
weight loss strategy. It is understandable that it is easier said than done,
but with a little bit of commitment, it is definitely not impossible. This
article is about two of key elements that are contributing factors of your
weight loss strategy.
1. Proteins, fats and carbs:
It is true that your food intake can be the biggest player
in your weight gain as well as weight loss strategy. Again, same food does not
have same effect on two different people. It may not even have same effect on
you if you try it over a period of time. Also, after changing your dietary
habits, do not expect to see the results immediately or all at once. The
effects are usually indefinite and imprecise. If implementing a dietary
strategy over one-week cuts 1 pound of weight, it is not necessary that continuing
to implement same strategy over the next week will slash another pound from
your weight. It could be more; it could be less. It is said that eating carbs
create craving for more carbs, hence eventually increasing your weight. If you
want to cut your weight, cutting carbs is the first step followed by cutting
bad fats.
2. Exercise:
Although food is the most important factor of your body
weight, exercise plays an almost equal role in getting you close to your weight
loss goal. Exercise speeds up your metabolism. One of the biggest benefits of
exercise is that it burns fats in your body, and it does so quickly. If you
don't do any exercise at all, your body might still burn fats in doing daily
physical activities, but it will be extremely slow. Just like setting up your
dietary plan, you don't need to spend a lot of money to come up with an
exercise plan. When it comes to exercise for losing weight, you should do what
you enjoy doing. Walking, cycling, hiking are activities that only need time
and a little bit of commitment. Whatever exercise you choose to go with, make
sure you do it in sets with appropriate intervals between sets. Don't exhaust
yourself to an extent that you feel tired the following day to do any exercise
at all, hence slowing down your overall weight loss progress.
These are the two fundamentals of weight loss. Start with
these and track your progress over a period of time. Don't hesitate to change
your plan if you need to.
