OK. Summer has come and gone and you're still not lean and fit the way you'd like to be. Oh wait: now it's spring again and you've packed on even more pounds than you had before! For many Americans, reaching optimum fitness and developing the body we've always wanted never becomes a reality. We read magazines; we go on diets; we take up with every new fad in the hopes that finally - finally! This will be "the one" to do the trick. No luck. If you are really serious this time, you should finally accept the fact that reaching your goals doesn't involve tricks: just good sound physics. Here are some no-secret secrets to weight loss.
--No-Secret Secret #1: If you take in more calories than you burn off, you'll gain weight. Period. End of story. This means that even if you jog five miles a day, if you eat half a cheesecake later you're gonna gain weight. Are you the kind of person who eats very few calories during the day yet you're still overweight? That's because you're not moving much, and your metabolism has adjusted itself accordingly. The no-secret secret to weight loss is to eat less than you burn off. That means you'll have to change your eating habits AND get involved in some kind of exercise program for optimum, long-lasting results.
--No-Secret Secret #2: You've gotta get moving and get that heartbeat up. Toning exercises are lovely for strengthening muscles, but if you have fat to lose you must burn it off through a regular cardio program. Just cutting back on calories alone will not do the job over the long-term. You'll lose weight initially but your metabolism will slow and the pounds will creep back on. Even if you fancy yourself a gym rat and go regularly: if you're not losing weight, then your present workout's just not cutting it. Try kicking yourself into a higher gear with a Boot Camp program or CrossFit training to instigate weight loss. These types of programs show proven results and may be the key you've been looking for.
--No-Secret Secret #3: Permanent weight loss involves a permanent change of lifestyle. Once you get the body of your dreams, you'll have to continue working hard to keep it. Because if you don't continue to eat sensibly and work out, it will be gone. Poof. You have to be willing to give up your bad eating habits and develop a new mindset to get off that up and down weight loss roller coaster.
