From what I’ve learned, there’s a lot to “weight loss.” First it’s 80% diet and 20% exercise, which I thought was full of crap from the start because I figure if you get your body constantly moving, you won’t have to worry about the food you’re eating. WRONG! I’m a foodie, so I thought with my exercise plan I could get away with it. NO!
Nutrition consists of three main things: protein, carbohydrates, and fats help build muscle, tone the body, and give energy. If you are eating fried and sugary foods (which mostly contain fat and who cares what kind of fat). For your diet, or ahem your “lifestyle change”, you need about 60% carbs, 20% protein, and 20%, which may or may not be exact, but close. So eating junk and exercising won’t help you lose weight. So what I did was switch to a clean, healthy diet, AND stop drinking sodas. Which was the hardest of all. Check the previous article written by me 🙂
Oh, and it gets better kids!!! I thought that now I should be losing pounds, and not exactly… look, I changed the way I eat, I gave up sodas and was still exercising… now, before I gave up sodas and changed my eating habits, I still haven’t lost any. , but when I did I lost weight because I stopped drinking soda. But not from exercising.
Here’s the deal! You have to PUSH HARD when you exercise! My problem is that I have been taking breaks as soon as I get tired. oh no no You should, in addition to everything mentioned above, make sure your heart rate is in a certain range and only take a break from 30 seconds to possibly a minute so your heart rate stays up and you burn off the pounds. Therefore, I recommend investing in a heart rate monitor if you really want to lose weight. You can also find out what your heart rate is supposed to be while you exercise. Just google “target heart rate for exercise”.
I’ve lost about 5 pounds, but I’m still missing something. Have I considered the trendy weight loss products out there? Hell yeah, especially since he wasn’t having any luck doing what he thought he was doing right. But I decided not to because I want to do it the right way.
By changing my diet and exercising, I learned to love a lot of new things like eating clean, running (I’m not that much of a runner, and now I LOVE running) and drinking all kinds of healthy drinks. I try to stay away from sugary drinks, but I love Propel and some juices and am always looking for a new healthy drink to try. I also love the training equipment and the different workouts. Right now I’m doing Turbo Fire, Pilates, I have a Yoga mat (and I do Yoga too). I also have toning shoes and running shoes so I can be constantly losing weight and building muscle.
So my friends, is this how you lose weight and still be a pain in the ass? A little.
