How Other People Lose Weight

So, you may be overweight, and you have tried every diet and workout gadget you can think of.  Most of these, especially the fads that are sold from infomercials, are just scams and don’t really work long term.  Sure, there may be a little bit of weight loss initially, but you know, they just don’t work.  However everyone knows people who do actually lose weight, so you’re probably wondering exactly how they are doing it. 

Well, obviously each person is different and their bodies respond differently, but when it comes down to it there are really only two main components.  If you are wanting to have lasting weight loss results, then the two things that you need to do is focus on proper nutrition and exercising properly.  Doing these two things will help you to lose weight.

Focusing on proper nutrition is pretty important.  You need to make sure that you are counting your calorie intake.  Most people eat way more calories than they think they do because they don’t account for little snacks, or they are unaware of how many calories are in items they consume.  You also want to drink more water.  it is recommended that you drink half of your body weight in ounces.  So if you weigh 180, then you should be drinking 90 ounces of water a day.  This helps to flush toxins out of your body, as well as keep every chemical reaction in your body running smoothly.

Lastly, you need to make sure you are exercising properly.  I am sorry to break it to you, but running on the treadmill for hours just won’t cut it.  You have to lift weights, and incorporate resistance training into your workouts.  This will help you to build some lean muscle mass which in turn helps you to burn fat all day long, but especially during workouts.
