Here are a few quick weight loss tips to enable you to enjoy losing weight rather than hating it as most people do. The majority of people approach losing weight with trepidation and would rather be doing anything but dieting and trying to lose weight. It needn't be like that.
There are ways to lose weight and enjoy doing it, because, after all, what is your objective: to look and feel great and really be proud of your achievement. Your partner will be equally proud and might even show his or her appreciation for your hard work in more tangible ways. Hard work? Little do they know - because if you follow these quick weight loss tips it will be anything but.
Exercise
Forget exercise - you don't like doing it, or you would be slim now if you did. So it's daft giving you loads of routines to go through, Pilates, calisthenics, call them what you will - they all suck to you. What you want are easy quick weight loss tips, not something that involves a lot of time and hard work. Did you know you don't need to exercise to lose weight? Just eat less!
Time
You might not have a lot of time, with the kids having to go to school, and meals to cook, Or if you are male, then you have to work all day then get the feet up in the evening for your 'well earned rest' after work. Don't worry, we all need these times, but you can still lose weight and fit that old wedding suit when the time comes that you need it again!
Diet
OMG: I just mentioned the swear word - 'DIET'. Did you know you don't need to go on a diet to lose weight? Just exercise more! If you did diet, there are ways to do that and enjoy your food just as much as you did before.
Balance
Exercise and diet: read these sections again. Exercise more or eat less to lose weight, but that is not quite right. You can eat more, in fact, but what you have to do is balance what you eat with the energy you expend.
Exercise expends energy just as the food you eat contains energy: energy measured in terms of calories. You can also measure exercise in terms of calories used up, but you must use the same units for each so you can balance the energy you eat with the energy you use in exercise and your metabolism.
Metabolism
That seems a biggish word, but all it means is all the energy used in your body to enable you to breathe, your heart to circulate your blood, to digest your food and for all the chemical reactions inside your body, the biochemistry that keeps your alive -the energy (calories) needed for all these to take place. All of these use up energy, and that is your metabolic rate - basically the amount of energy needed to keep you alive.
Add the energy used by your metabolism to the energy you use in exercise (even just to stand up and sit down), and then take that away from the energy in your food. If the result is positive, you will put on weight. No question! If the result is negative, you will lose weight. Again no question!
In fact, ignore your metabolism - you don't know what energy is used for that. Base your results on your exercise and take it from there. Some people use more energy than others while at rest - they have a high metabolic rate. They find it easier to lose weight, and seem to eat all they want without looking any different! Disgusting people!
Tips For Quick Weight Loss
Quick Weight Loss Tip #1: You can use all that information to gain or lose weight. Look at your diet and replace the fatty foods with low fat equivalents. Margarine, milk, ice cream, mayo, soft drinks, cheese: all with the diet or lower fat alternatives, and you will now be consuming less energy.
Quick Weight Loss Tip #2: Walk more - use the car less, change your motor mower for a plain push one, exercise when watching TV - whatever you want, but move about a bit more.
Quick Weight Loss Tip #3: There is no #3. At least not yet. First you must understand the weight loss equation and work out how you can use it. You can lose weight without dieting if you exercise more. You can lose weight without exercising if you eat fewer calories. You can do both and strike a balance.
Keep in mind that this is for you, not me. I don't need to exercise or diet because I eat what I like and use that up in my metabolism and my daily routine. If you do the same, just lean it one way and you lose weight - lean it the other way and you add weight. Simple!
That's only quick weight loss tip you need really.
