Dieters who target to shed weight and go from a size 10 to 3 often give up, disappointed and frustrated. Because really, who can go from 10 to 3 without sawing off a body part or two? Such goals are fantasies because weight loss is not an easy thing to do. Advertisers may say it’s easy and instant just to sell a new program. In reality, it takes time, dedication, a balanced diet and regular exercise to get to your ideal weight.
In terms of dieting, there are several diet options for you. The best, of course, is a balanced diet made up of complex carbs, lean protein and good fat. For those who seriously want to shed some weight, before shifting to a regular balanced diet, they can cut off some carbohydrates from their diets first. Carbs are the initial source of energy as they are “fast-burners.” When you cut off carbs, you teach your muscles to get energy from elsewhere. They turn to stored fat for this. once you’re used to a low-carb diet, try to reintroduce the complex carbs – but always do so in moderation. Likewise, make it a habit not to stuff yourself when you’re eating. Push yourself off the table before you feel full.
When you add regular exercise into this mix, then surely, you’re on your way to weight loss. Exercise works the muscles. This makes muscles require more energy to function. Thus, they end up burning more calories and stored fat.
