Default The Secret Weapon Of Successful Weight Loss

Are you sick and tired of being fat and unable to lose weight!! There is an
answer! Please listen; if you want your weight loss regime to work you will
have to perform
'Strength training' and there is just no getting around it.

It is absolutely imperative that during the course of a lifetime not only
for your weight loss goals but also for general health and well being that
you must use these valuable tool.

For years we have been told to diet the excess fat from our bodies and throw
in some fast walking to hasten the process. The trouble with this is that
the low calorie restricted diet would throw the body into starvation mode
with the body holding onto the fat and using precious lean muscle tissue for
energy.

This would "Lower Your Metabolism" causing greater muscle loss and once the
diet was broken the original fat would return and you would have greater
chance of gaining even more fat creating a

"A Vicious Cycle"

Eventually, your body would become used to the diet and then you will reach
a point where nothing was happening. So what do you do now?

Try weight loss supplements, creams, massage, toning tables, and drugs. You
should know by now that these don't work. There is a better way and it is

"Strength Training"

Many studies are showing that Strength Training is a far superior method for
weight loss. (Ladies, you won't bulk up by using weights, you don't have the
testosterone to get big and muscular, so don't worry).

If you are not incorporating strength training into your weight loss program
then you can look forward to disappointing results.

The days of strength training three to five days a week in the gym, an hour
at a time are long gone. That just doesn't work as a plateau is reached
after three to four weeks and nothing you do will get you off it.

All that is required is one short strength-training workout a week done at
home or in the gym and this will melt away more fat than you would have
thought possible.

Fats, Figures and Cardio Work

We've already found out that by increasing the functional muscle on your
body, you increase your resting metabolic rate. Due to this higher metabolic
rate you can now eat more calories, which means that you won't need to
starve anymore to lose weight.

In a sense, fewer calories have to be cut back from our daily intake of food
and successful dieting (provided that you eat the right foods) will become
more likely.

As far as Fats are concerned, they're burned from the body when cells
oxidize to release energy in the form of exercise. When exercise is done
slowly to moderately for 20 to 30 minutes, then the majority of energy is
taken from the fat stores.

It's important to understand that the loss of fat comes from fat cells all
over the body, not just from one or more specific areas. Therefore, fat
reduction of a certain area is not generally possible.

The best exercise for the purpose of fat loss is fast walking either indoors
on the treadmill or outdoors. Walk until you are mildly puffing and hold
that rate for the allotted time.

If your cardio activities leave you panting or breathless you are going too
hard. Your energy will be then coming from your carbohydrate reserves and
not from your fat stores.

Nutrition For Weight Loss

By decreasing the amount of calories you eat per day to the weight loss
amount, you should start losing weight. Don't go any lower and check the
mirror regularly to judge your progress.

If you don't have an accurate idea of how many calories you are consuming a
day, how will you know whether you're overeating or not?

So go ahead and try to eat small frequent meals during the day each
containing a little protein to maintain muscle and energy levels. Also try
to consume foods with vital vitamin and mineral compositions on a daily
basis.
