As far as losing weight and improving your appearance is concerned, there are two main camps. The avid dieters who believe the only way to lose weight is to cut down on what you eat, and the exercise fans who think dieting is rubbish and exercise is the only way.
In order to lose weight and look better, you need to burn the fat that has built up in your body and replace it with muscle. Don’t make the mistake of starting to skip meals in order to lose weight, this is just something that you should never do.
Missing meals may result in a small weight loss but you are losing out on valuable nutrients and vitamins. All nutritionists strongly recommend that you do not use this method to try and lose weight.
To lose weight successfully and keep it off; you must eat small portions throughout the day as well as exercising. Eating moderate portions will keep you satisfied so that you don’t overeat.
Exercising at least three times a week, and a weekly cardio session will get you into shape quicker than anything.
The first job the exercising does is to shift the top layer of fat in your body. Once the excess fat has been burnt off, you carry on exercising to strengthen and tone the underlying muscles. Don’t do the second two without first doing the cardio.
After just four weeks of combining diet with exercise you will be amazed at how much lighter you feel and just your general feeling of well being. You will feel less tired and also sleep better at night.
So if you still haven’t grasped it, a proper balanced diet plus exercise equals a slim, trim body and a greater feeling of well-being.
