subject: Be Real About Losing Weight [print this page]


"The pure mathematics of weight loss is simple - eat less, move more. Whenever everybody knew that, souls would be in great shape," according to Los Angeles-based personal trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels of NBC's weight loss reality TV show The Biggest Loser.

Weight loss is a word that bombards us every day. Whilst many people are not happy with their present weight, some don't really know how to lose weight and are better off staying where they are. You may hope to look like the models or actors you see in magazines or on television but that goal might not be healthy or realistic for you.

So let's get real and set a goal. Take note of the word "cut". It's time to cut calories. Did you know that a gram of fat contains twice as many calories as a gram of carbohydrate or protein? Try to eliminate fat-rich nutrients in your diet, choose lower or fat-reduced options, use cooking oil and spreads sparingly, and remove additional fat from meat. The best option is to have a low calorie diet such as fruits and vegetables. Fibre-rich nutrients and whole grain breakfast cereals are also adept choices.

Cut sugar-rich drinks and inebriant. Choose water, tea, coffee or artificially sweetened drinks instead. Downsize potatoes, pasta, rice, and fatty and sugary foods, and super size fruits and vegetables.

Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you. The best way to find out if your weight is okay or when you want to lose or gain a few pounds is to talk to a doctor or dietician. He or she can compare your weight with healthy norms to assistance you set realistic goals.

The Biggest Loser hosts further said that we should not aim on getting the spectacular torso of a movie star - unless, that is, you're blessed with a naturally great figure. "Celebrities have private chefs; trainers like me working with them 24 hours a day, 6 days a week; and plastic surgeons to fix whatever troubles are left," said Jillian.

The reality is that some of us can't afford the luxury of being a celebrity. But there are always alternatives like zyroxin. While you may not be destined to be a celebrity, you are not destined to be overweight either and even if you do happen to become overweight, there's always something you can do about it.
