Has the arrival of 2011, brought yet another resolution from you about your weight? If your answer is yes, it can only mean that you did nothing to achieve it before or what you did, didnt work.
What would you do, if you discovered that there is a way to lose weight that is lasting and that you would never need to make another new year resolution to lose weight? This article is about how to achieve permanent weight loss.
For you to achieve permanent weight loss, you will need to abandon some ideas that you have and you will have to replace them with other ideas.
You will need to abandon any thoughts you may have about doing a fast weight loss diet or the latest fad diet. They dont work.
You need to learn to think about fat loss and not weight loss. They are not the same thing. When you lose fat, you lose weight. But when you lose weight, in most cases you dont lose fat. You lose something else.
By concentrating on fat loss, lasting weight loss occurs. Only exercise brings about fat loss.
You need to learn about exercise that brings about fat loss. Exercise for fat loss falls into 2 broad categories. One category is cardio vascular (cv) exercise, which is also called aerobic exercise. The other is strength training, which is also called anaerobic exercise. Both burn fat.
You are probably more familiar with cv exercise. It includes running, brisk walking, swimming, bicycle riding etc.
Strength training is most effective in bringing about fat loss, because you burn fat all day long – even when you are at rest. You lose more fat faster, when do strength training as your exercise routine.
Your muscles will build from strength training. Your metabolism will increase, because muscle tissue needs more energy than other tissues in your body. The increased metabolic rate results in fat burning, to feed your muscles with the energy they need.
I know that strength training does not appeal to everyone. If it doesnt appeal to you, dont do it. An aerobic exercise routine will give you the fat loss that you want.
You will need to embrace exercise as a part of your life from now on, if you want to achieve weight loss that will be permanent.
