If you keep on gaining weight after dieting, stop!! Don't
even think about trying another diet, because it will most likely produce
the same results you have already seen.
Stop wasting your time, money
and effort for nothing. Please have a look at the facts presented in this
article and make your own decision.
Let's have a look at a few weight
loss principles.
In order to produce Sustained,
Permanent and Long-Term Weight Loss, it's imperative that you boost your
metabolism. And the most effective way to raise your metabolism is to have a
greater proportion of functional muscle on your body.
The only way to
build this lean muscle so you can raise your metabolism is through "Strength
Training". There's no other method that works wonders on the Metabolism like
Strength Training.
By performing Strength Training, you'll
effectively increase the amount of functional lean muscle on your body so
that your metabolism will elevate.
After a Strength Training session your body will undergo a significant
increase or "Spike" in Metabolism, which will allow you to burn much more
fat then you were able to before.
2. It's All About Lean Muscle
"The amount of fat the body can burn is directly related to the more
lean muscle your body can hold."
If your muscle system can sustain
more energy and use this energy significantly when performing strength
training, then it will be able to burn off the calories you eat and the
excess fat on your body.
In other words, if your muscles become
stronger and can hold more energy then you should be able to release this
energy more efficiently to increase your metabolism, and to burn off excess
calories that you have eaten.
Once we can build more lean muscle through our own strength, then our
bodies will become more efficient at burning fat.
It's also the
amount of lean muscle on your body that makes you LOOK GOOD. Once you burn
off the excess fat from your body, the lean muscle underneath your skin will
be exposed making you look healthy, energetic, and well toned.
3.
Fast Walking Burns Fat
All you need to do now is incorporate "Fast
Walking" into your weight loss program to hasten the burning of excess fat.
Not only is fast walking better much easier on the hips, but it also
produces a greater percentage of fat loss as opposed to jogging or running.
Here are some of the benefits of Fast Walking.
· Easy to Perform
· Most Conventional
·
All Natural Body Movement
· Doesn't Cause Injuries
· Can Be Done Anywhere
· The
Best Minimal Effort Exercise for Fat Loss
"I can't stress enough how Fast Walking is necessary in
every weight loss program."
Programming Strategies
If you want
any weight loss program to work you have to perform "Strength Training".
It's absolutely imperative during the course of a lifetime not only for
weight loss goals but also for general health and well being.
For years we have been told to diet the excess fat from our bodies and
throw in some fast walking to hasten the process. The trouble with this is
that the low calorie restricted diet would throw the body into starvation
mode, with the body holding onto the fat and using precious lean muscle
tissue for energy.
This would "Lower Your Metabolism" causing greater
muscle loss and once the diet was broken the original fat returned, and you
would have greater chance of gaining even more fat.
"A Vicious Cycle"
Eventually, your body would become used to the diet and then you will reach
a point where nothing was happening.
So what do you do now?
Try weight loss supplements, creams, massage, toning tables, drugs. You
should know by now that these don't work. So what do you do now?
Throw your hands up in the air and say "to hell with the diet", give in to
the cravings and gorge yourself on high fat foods until you are physically
sick!!
There is a better way, it's simply...
"Strength
Training"
Many studies are showing that Strength Training is a superior method for
weight loss.
(Ladies, you won't bulk up by using weights, you don't
have the testosterone to get big and muscular, so don't worry).
If
you don't incorporate Strength Training into your weight loss program then
look forward to "disappointing results".
The days of strength
training three to five days a weeks in the gym, an hour at a time are long
gone. That just doesn't work. One short strength-training workout a week
done at home or in the gym will melt away more fat than you would have ever
thought possible.
Fats, Figures and Cardio Work
We've already found out that by increasing the functional muscle on your
body, you increase your resting metabolic rate. Due to the HIGHER metabolic
rate you can now eat MORE calories, which means that you won't need to
starve anymore to lose weight.
In a sense, fewer calories have to be
cut back from our daily intake of food and successful dieting (provided that
you eat the right foods) will become more likely.
As far as Fats are
concerned, they're burned from the body when cells oxidize to release energy
in the form of exercise. When exercise is done slowly to moderately for 20
to 30 minutes, then the majority of energy is TAKEN from the fat stores.
It's important to understand that the loss of fat comes from fat cells ALL
OVER the body, NOT just from one or more specific areas. Therefore, fat
reduction of a certain area is not generally possible.
Mix up your
cardio activities in the gym. Use the treadmill, bike, climber or any other
training gear available to you.
The best exercise for the purpose of
fat loss is fast walking either indoors on the treadmill or outdoors. Walk
until you are mildly puffing and hold that rate for the allotted time.
If your cardio activities leave you panting or breathless ~ You are going
too hard. Your energy will be then coming from your carbohydrate reserves
and not from your fat stores.
Weight loss is not the big complicated
mystery that some people or magazines and books will have you believe. It's
really very simple and it can be all done in as little as ten weeks by
following easy to follow, non-disruptive principles.
