For most overweight people with no underlying medical reasons making them difficult to lose weight, losing your excess body fat is sheer commonsense. It is simply a matter of consuming less calorie then you are expanding them. Simply put, you must eat less calorie and at the same time burn more calories from your daily activities.
Yes, I know that you know that, then why are you not losing weight? This article will show you how to easily eat less calorie and healthy ways to burn more calories.
You probably know that one pound of fat equals to about 3,500 calories. In other words if you have a caloric deficit of just 500 calories a day, whether through exercising or dieting or a combination of both, you will easily lose one pound of fat a week. It is just as simple as that!
If that is the case, why is it obese people find it so hard to lose weight? That is because the science may be simple, the details are not. People think about consuming less calorie as going on a starvation diet or about skipping meals and then find it difficult to stick to these diets. Furthermore, many people find the idea of intensive exercise as being stressful or they are lazy to get into an exercise regimen. In truth, things are not as dreadful.
First and foremost, get to know where your excess calories come from. For example, is it necessary to add sugar to your tea or coffee? Is it necessary to eat your foods with sweet sauces such as ketchup or other calorie laden sauces? Is it necessary to have that desert after your meals? Or to have that sugar packed soda to accompany your meals? Do you really need to eat that cake or pastry?
Here is a startling fact. An average adult in a developed country such as the United States consumes about 22 teaspoonful of sugar a day. That is a whopping 350 calories a day! It is even worse for teenagers for they consume an average of 34 spoonful of sugar a day! If you add those figures day to day, can you imagine how many extra calories you are putting into your body and how much fat you will be accumulating year on year?
Furthermore, if you abstain from sugar laden foods like cakes, pastries, junk food, TV snacks, ice creams and confectionery, not only will you be cutting off the sugar calories, but also from the high glycemic carbohydrate calories that are found in those foods! So if you cut out these foods and drinks, you could actually be in a caloric deficit by 500 or more calories a day! That will mean that you are on your way to losing a pound or more a week.
More than that, you will be also cutting off all those chemicals and preservatives in those foods and since you are detoxing your body naturally and healthily and by doing that, you will lose even more weight. Isn't that easy?
Now, can you imaging adding a good exercise routine to your now healthier diet? Exercising will help you to burn even more calories, make you healthier and fitter and best of all, tone up your muscles to look good, sexy and strong.
Didn't I tell you that losing weight is easy and can be healthy too? Do you believe me now?
