The Simple Steps to Effective Fat Loss

It is not too uncommon for adults to find themselves in there
30′s and 40′s with widening middles and a larger size hanging in
the closet. This gaining of weight is brought on by a slowing
metabolism, sitting at a desk all day and by the stress of daily
life. For woman there is the added weight gain of having
children.

When you finally realize that your size is increasing year by
year it is a hard reality to deal with. You have to look at all
the options and there sure are a lot of options.

The solution is simpler than you think. You have heard it before
eat less and exercise more. To do this you do not need to go out
and join a gym or buy a scale and weigh every bite of food you
put in your mouth. You simply need to put into place and take
action upon easy to follow lifestyle changes.

To start with take a look at the food you are eating. Turn over
the labels and read what a serving size is and how many calories
are in a serving. If you keep in your mind that you want to
consume around 1500 calories a day then follow the label you
will do fine. At 1500 calories you should loose weight and this
is an amount that if you eat an extra cookie you have some room
for error.

Buying into and following the latest diet craze is always
appealing. Looking at those young toned bodies running on the
beach and remembering when you were once young makes the fad
diets hard to resist. The problem with most of these diets is
that they are only a temporary fix. You are not curing the
problem you are only treating the symptom.

To really fix the weight gain issue you need to take a good look
at your life. Are you at a desk job? Are you home with kids all
day? Do you pack a lunch or eat out? Do you eat on the road
while traveling to work and running errands? All these factors
play into weight gain for adults.

The next thing you need to do is to get up and move. Remember
you do not need to join an expensive gym or invest in dozens of
exercise tapes just get up and move. Start with parking farther
away from the office. Then put a lead on the dog and go for a
walk after dinner. If all you feel you can fit in is 5 minutes
start there and move up. In the beginning it may be hard to
complete a mile but if you stick to it in a few months you will
be walking a few miles with no problem and loosing weight.

Follow these extremely simple steps of paying attention to what
you eat and getting up and moving and your waist line and over
all health will improve in a sustainable way.
