Are you trying to shed weight? Anyone can shed unwanted pounds the fact remains that very few people will lose weight permanently. I know that you have all seen the TV ads proclaiming how easy and fast the weight can melt off, but the facts show the opposite. Out of all the people who attempt to drop weight the percent of those that actually are successful are very low, and the ones who are successful are the ones who are armed with the proper help and guidance.
You need to have the proper education of mind and body operation. If you read the textbook definition for weight loss, you will find it says burning more calories than what you take into the body will result in weight loss. Many people think that if you just take in less calories the weight will come off, That would make sense, however, the body will adapt to the lesser amount of calories taken in to the body thus, the body's metabolism will slow down to match the lowered caloric intake.
So the answer would be, to exercise which in turn speeds up the metabolic rate of the body in turn helping you to drop the weight, right? Well, You would need to burn about 500 calories per day to lose 1 pound of fat per week that would be impossible for a walk aground the block or a low intensity work out. So the answer would be an increased intensity workout like swimming, jogging, or aerobic class taken at a fitness center, would then be enough to increase your metabolic rate.
Everyone may have their own personal reasons for wanting to shed unwanted pounds. You may want to have them listed in order of importance to you, an example might be, I want to lose weight because I want to look better and become more attractive to the opposite gender. I want to lose weight because I want to feel better. I want to lose weight so that I can buy new clothes or make new friends. I want to lose weight so that I can live longer.
These are all good reasons to want to lose weight, but if they are just reasons that you pulled out of your hat, it will not be enough when you are tempted by that piece of chocolate cake or fatty food. You must dig deeply the reasons must be ingrained in your mental image that you want for your self. The reasons for your weight loss must be strong and powerful or else you will just make excuses when the going gets tough.
