Want To Hear The Truth About Why You Are Really Overweight?
Anyone who wants to lose weight surely would like to lose it permanently and be able to maintain that loss for the long haul
. Yet restrictive food diets and the wrong type of exercise program do not achieve this for the majority of overweight people.
It seems strange that most of the weight loss programs available today only offer temporary results as they do not address the real cause of becoming overweight in the first place.
The cause at the bottom of the problem is that the fat burning machinery of the body has become unhealthy and is not burning fuel (calories) at the rate it should or could be if it were if good condition. Muscle tissue is where fat is burned for energy but if it not kept strong and fit with proper strength maintaining exercise it cannot burn fuel at its optimal rate. Thus calories that should be burnt up are now being stored as body fat accumulating all over the body spoiling your looks and placing your health at risk.
We have been lead to believe that 'cardio' type activity like walking, jogging or cycling or other aerobic type recreational type activity is necessary to lose weight. But we now know that this is not sufficient for long term weight loss. Why? Because it does not address the root of the problem - lack of toned muscle tissue to boost the metabolism.
Part of the problem is for years we have been told to just find something you enjoy and that is your exercise program. Walking, gardening, sports and bird watching - you name it they have said it is fine to just do something that is 'fun' and this is where the problem lies. Proper exercise that involves keep your metabolism cranking is not always 'fun'.
Recreational activities do not work the muscular system of the human body through the ranges of movement necessary under a load to achieve a permanent boost to the metabolic rate. You have to be doing higher intensity activity than that.
This is something you may not want to hear as many people get addicted to long, slow time consuming activity and cannot see that any other way could be better. But take a look in the mirror - "Is it actually working for you?" How many hours each week do you spend doing it and what results are you getting?"
With a proper program you could be getting great results in just a couple of months. You would be saving so much time as you only need 2-3 sessions each week of 30-40 minutes to do the job properly. The more intensity (effort) you can put into it the less you need to do as this will kick your metabolism into high gear very quickly chewing into those fat stores even when you are sleeping. Something that 'cardio' activity can never ever do.
So, the hardest part will be the changing of your beliefs and attitude. Only when this is achieved will you experience a truly strong, lean, healthy body and until then you will likely have to live in a flabby overweight one. We have been misled for so long it will take just as long to accept the truth about what proper exercise actually is. The quicker you make the change the quicker you will get the results you really desire.
