Is An Effective Cardio Workout The Answer To Your Weight Loss Woes?
If you need to lose a few pounds, I'm sure you've been given the advice that you
should get a gym membership and run on a treadmill for hours a week to burn off the fat. While all activity is better than none (well...mostly), running on a treadmill may not be where you should put all your focus.
Starting a cardio routine like the one stated above is a huge time sink and if you start it out of nowhere it will throw a wrench in your life to need an extra hour a day to work out.
This can cause you to quit after a short time, or just never start it at all because you don't have the time. So what takes less time and will give you better results than jogging on a treadmill?
The answer is that you need to start watching your eating habits. The food that we eat and the portions that we eat it in are usually the main culprit of making us overweight. Today in our culture we are trained to eat processed food that is very unhealthy. Most Americans also eat way too much at every meal.
You should know that your stomach is only about as big as your fist (when clenched). So you don't need anymore food than that to fill your stomach each meal. One of the easiest things you can change right now is to eat a little less at every meal. Use the smaller plate and start will less than normal. Eventually you will be in the habit of eating less per meal, and it will be much easier.
