Chances are that you, or someone you know, are trying to lose weight. It happens so slowly, the weight creeps up on you and your once trim body. One day you are showing off your beach body and the next, you are buying oversized sweaters to hide the “bulge”. With this in mind, it is not surprising that you will want to find the best and fastest way to lose that unwanted weight. This article will provide a few ways to get your weight loss kick started and get you on the road to your “hard body” again. The biggest factor for weight loss is your diet and it is this that we will discuss below.
The first thing you should do before trying any weight loss regimen (either exercise or diet) is to consult your physician. You will want to make sure that the diet you have identified that you will be following is right for your individual needs. Additionally, think of this visit as a checkpoint to establish your starting weight, blood pressure and your triglyceride levels. This way, you can see how much progress you have made when you have completed your training regimen. After visiting your doctor, it is time to get started by limiting your daily caloric intake
By limiting your caloric intake you are making sure that the work you do during the day (your daily activities as well as your gym workouts) burn more calories than you take in. It is simple math really. If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight, period! But that doesn’t really tell you how you should construct your diet. You should try to keep a reasonable fat intake (roughly a 1/3 of your diet). Fat is actually crucial to your diet. If you’re too low in fats, it can lead to cravings and you will seek to purge those cravings with junk food. Additionally, the body will assume that it needs to add fat to itself because food is scarce so it will store any unused calories as fat. The rest of your diet should be higher in protein than it is in carbohydrates. Keep carbohydrates low, fat at a 1/3 and protein at almost 2/3 of your diet and make sure you keep your total calories below what you expend each day and you can almost literally watch the pounds strip away from your body!
