subject: The Effective Weight Loss Solution [print this page] Fad diets come and go for a reasonFad diets come and go for a reason. They are not effective. Despite clever marketing, advertising, and pipe-dream propaganda, there is only one true method of effective weight loss. It requires a combination of exercise and healthy eating. Though many struggling with their weight have heard this several times, it is generally the method that they employ last. This is a shame because it is also the easiest to follow and the most rewarding.
The first thing that you'll have to do is design a personalized exercise routine. If you are going to be successful and stick with it, try not to think of it as exercise. Instead, think about the things that you enjoy doing, and incorporate this into your healthy, effective weight loss plan. Walks in the park? Playing with your children? A few laps in the pool? If there is something that you consider fun, let that be part of your exercise program. You are much more likely to continue to exercise if you do this.
Next, you will need to determine what healthy diet will work particularly for you. Of course, to lose weight effectively, you will need to burn more calories than you are consuming. But how many calories are you burning? To determine this, you will need to use a basal metabolic rate calculator. This calculator, after you input your height, weight, age, and activity level, will generate how many calories your bodies burns. After you have this number, it will be easy to decide on a caloric intake less than that. (As a general rule you should never consume less than 1200 calories per day).
One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. This means that if you were to cut 500 calories from your consumption daily, you would lose one pound of fat per week. Best of all, five hundred calories is generally pretty easy to cut from your diet. Drinking diet soda instead of regular or using a sugar substitute in your coffee or tea are two examples of just how simple it can be.
After you decide what you'll be cutting out of your diet, take some time to consider what you'll be including. Make sure you're still eating from all the food groups. Fresh fruits and vegetables will be key. It is also a good idea to consider taking a multivitamin while dieting to ensure that your body is getting all of the essential nutrients it needs.
As with any diet and/or exercise program, consult with your doctor before initiating new program.
