Welcome again to my fitness and fat loss blog. Today I am going to cover more simple weight reduction tips that anyone can do. In the coming weeks I will also be looking at weight loss programs and diets such as fatloss4idiots (aka fat loss for idiots) and see if they can really burn fat fast. Until then, here are some more weight loss tips:
1) Don’t over do your workouts - One of the big mistakes that people make when trying to burn fat and lose weight is to have one long, excessive work out. However, it is better to break up your work out into small chunks throughout the day. Maybe, you can walk the dog briskly in the morning, then take a Yoga/Fitness class later in the day. In Between times, staying active like going for a walk in your lunch break or doing household chores briskly will help you maintain a higher metabolism to burn off calories and ultimately excessive fat, which is what we want.
2) Lower you calorie intake slowly – When starting a healthy lifestyle routine or a diet for life, many of us cut our calorie intake sharply, in an effort to speed up the process of weight loss. However, it is far better to cut calories gradually. Work out your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), which is based on your age, weight, height and gender. Just google BMR and you will find lots of online calculators. Your BMR is the approximate amount of calories that you need every day to function correctly. Therefore, when choosing your foods and cutting your calorie intake, do not go below your BMR calories. Also, create a healthy balanced diet with a mix of carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, cereals and fruit. You need to eat all these food groups (or equivalent substitutes if you are allergic). However, you can increase or decrease the percentages accordingly, such as less carbohydrates and more protein.
3) A little of what you fancy – Don’t deprive yourself of the odd treat, especially if you have been good most of the week. Reward yourself with a small treat such as a couple of squares of a chocolate bar. Notice that I did not say a whole bar, because this would defeat the object and would lead to classic ‘yoyo’ dieting. However, a little of what you desire in moderation is OK.
OK, I’ve observed this fat loss 4 idiots advertised all over the web. Is there any true science behind this food regimen or is this just some fad using a catchy name? Has anybody tried the diet and experienced any good results they could comment on? If you are anything at all like me, you’ve possibly noticed every single food regimen there is certainly and I’m just wondering if this can be just a new one that you just won’t hear about in another twelve months.
Thanks for stopping by and taking time out to comment. I believe that this fat loss diet has been out a few years (updated occasionally) and in that time has been very successful. So, by the fact that it has been so successful and is still popular, shows that it must be a good legit program, that ‘does what it says on the tin’, so to speak. If the program did not work, it wouldn’t still be around and you would hear about it all over the net in forums, blogs etc. With regards to the science, I believe that the way this diet program looks at hormonal behavior based on what we eat, covers this category, for example.
