22 Jan 10 No Nonsense Long Term Weight Loss

If you’re trying to lose weight, exercise is really only about half the battle.  Exercise alone isn’t going to burn enough calories to really make you lose weight quickly.  If you really want to lose weight you have to combine exercise with a more healthy lifestyle.  The phrase “you are what you eat” is more true than you imagine.

If you’ve started an exercise routine recently, remember that more exercise is going to increase your appetite.  You have to counteract this by being strong, and not in taking more calories than your diet allows.  One mistake that many weight loss seekers fall into is allowing themselves to eat more calories after a workout, because of the appetite they’ve worked up.  That’s a mistake, as exercise on the whole doesn’t burn very many calories unless you’ve done a ridiculous amount.  Eating more calories after a workout is going to erase your workout, and keep the pounds piling on.

Remember to be diligent about working out.  You have to keep working out to make a big difference.  You can’t try for a few days and then take a week off.  In order to lose weight and really make a difference, you need to be working out 3-4 times a week, featuring fairly intense sessions.  That’s the only way to force your body to change, and whip yourself into shape.

Eating healthy is probably the biggest hurdle, and most important practice of all.  Only by eating healthy can you ensure that all the other steps you’ve taken will be effective.  You need to eat nutritious, low calorie meals, cutting your overall normal calorie intake.  That way you’re losing weight from cutting calories, and also from exercise.  That double threat is the fastest way to lose weight, and keep the weight off.  You don’t need crazy diets, just diligence to perform the most tried and true method.
