Dieting seems to change in a similar way to fashion, one day it's in, the next it's out. I bet at some point you find yourself sitting watching TV, indulging in food you know you shouldn't but it's fine because the advert you just saw told you that getting into shape is as easy as ten minutes exercising a day or something similar.
The truth is getting into shape and losing your unwanted weight will only come from hard work and dedication. If you are not prepared to put the effort in you will not get any results out and you might as well close this article now. However if you are interested in losing weight, toning your physique and realise that you will need 100% of your effort please read on.
Getting the body you so badly want is at your finger tips. I believe that it is possible for everyone to achieve providing you set small, realistic goals and put the effort into meeting them.
One mistake I have seen a lot of people do is huge amounts of cardio, day after day, treadmill or cross trainer to the point where they wear their trainers out or worse still reducing the amount of food they eat to the point where the nutrition in their diet would barely support a small child. If you find yourself in or close to one of these situations you will find yourself frustrated with the lack of results. I see it time and time again.
The biggest impact to help you lose weight will always be proper nutrition. It should never be complicated or difficult, you are just aiming for 'healthy' foods in the correct amounts whilst avoiding 'bad' foods and overeating. This will be the single most important thing for you to get right. Your metabolism is reacts to what you eat, when you eat and how often you eat. Eating the correct foods at the right time during the day are some of the things you will need to figure out in order to reach your weight loss goal.
You may have heard that the most important meal of the day is breakfast? Well this is true. No excuses here, you have to make time to eat breakfast every day for fast weight loss. This is the meal that kick-starts your metabolism for the day, making it work faster after your nights sleep. The rest of your food for the day needs to be split over a number of smaller meals. Eating large portions 3 times a day will result in your metabolism slowing down.
Your body is very clever in it's ability to take care of itself. If it notices large, irregular meals your body will start to hold onto the food for use later, storing it in the subcutaneous layer of the skin as fat. Make sure you get your meals regularly and don't skip your breakfast.
Eating a good combination of healthy carbohydrate, fats and protein will ensure your diet is balanced fulfilling all the needs of your body. Add in a little bit of exercise daily including some resistance training as carrying muscle tissue also encourages your body's metabolism to remain higher than normal.
