Exercise for weight loss

When we think about losing weight we almost always think diet.
The we start looking at all the new diets in hopes that one of these will finally help us lose the weight that we have lost and gained over and over again.

Now if we continually go on diets that apparently don’t work ( or at least don’t work long term) why do we keep going back to them?
It has a lot to do with hearing about a celebrity and their incredible weight loss and what diet they went on. What they don’t tell you is that during this time they were working with a personal trainer and it was the exercise and diet combination that helped with the weight loss not just the diet.

Why don’t they ever mention the exercise?
It’s not glamorous. A new diet can sound fancy and unique but exercise for weight loss is just exercise.

With exercise you have to work, spend some time and you’ll sweat. It’s sounds so much easier just to follow a diet than it is to do a kettlebell workout or hit a Zumba class or follow an exercise DVD.

However, it is the exercise that will give you the long term weight loss!
When you exercise you naturally boost your metabolism burning more calories both while you are working out and also for many hours afterwards.
Exercise also helps you to regulate insulin levels in your body and if your levels are not regulated your blood sugar can spike or crash. The rise can add belly fat and possibly have the onset of diabetes and the crash can make you feel shaky, nervous, sick to your stomach and you could possibly pass out. Both end of the spectrum are not healthy.  Exercise can help with these.

Exercise for weight loss can also help you stand and sit in better posture and having good posture is said to give the look of possibly losing 10 pounds. So here you go – a possibly look of a 10 pound loss just by a posture change.

Exercising for weight loss can also help you sleep better at night and those who get at least 7 hours sleep weigh on average lass than those who get less. Now you would think that it would be the opposite way around but it’s not.

As you can see by adding in exercise to your day can make a huge difference in your weight loss.
But what kind of exercise?
Some say walking while others say resistance exercise, some say cardio and others say weight training.
It is not the type of exercise that matters but that you are exercising.

Don’t have time to do 30 or 45 minutes at one time?
You probably do you just don’t think you do. But anyway, if you think you don’t get up and move around more.
Do you watch television? If so what is stopping you from getting up and moving around while your tv show is on.
What do you do while you have something in the microwave? Sure it’s only a few minutes, but remember that every few minutes helps.

Think about your day. Then for a few days check to see how much time you really do have to exercise.
You will find that you probably have a lot more than you think.

The get up and exercise for weight loss!

It’s  swimsuit season ladies & gentlemen and if you haven’t already started to panic you may once you take your swim suit of its drawer or shop to buy a new one.

You don’t need to compromise your complexion to get the beach body you’ve always wanted – you can lose weight AND wrinkles with this easy eating plan.

#1  SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Sprinkle, chop, grate and grind at least three herbs and spices on to every meal. You are not only adding extra flavor but also a range of different skin and brain-friendly antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Herbs have medicinal powers as well. It is a way of upgrading your nutrient intake without supplements. Some spices also increase your metabolism, and make you feel fuller and more satisfied.

#2  SNACK ON YOGURT
The low fat (not fat free) variety, not the sugar-filled creamy kind. You can add a teaspoon of sugar-free jam or honey or a teaspoon of cinnamon. High in protein and calcium, low fat yoghurt may also help to burn fat.

#3  EAT FISH EVERY DAY
Because you only want to eat quality protein, try to eat fish every day as well as lots of chicken, eggs and low-fat diary products. Lean cuts of red meats are fine once a week. Fish that are high in beneficial omega fats – especially salmon and mackerel – can be eaten up to four times a week.

#4  MAKE SUGAR YOUR ENEMY
Keeping your blood-sugar level is important for controlling food cravings. Sugar is also aging for your skin. That means eliminating sugar in its many forms. Sugar cans even be found in supposedly healthy snack bars and breakfast cereals.

#5  FEEL FULLER WITH FIBER
High fiber foods are good for keeping blood sugar balanced and helping you feel full. Go for whole grains, such as brown rice and oatmeal, as well as lots of greens, root vegetables, peas, beans and lentils, seeds and nuts.

#6  DRINK WATER
Try to drink around 6-8 glasses  of water every day.
You can also get water from fruit and vegetables: apples, broccoli, grapes, lettuce, peaches and tomatoes are all around 80-90 per cent fluid. If you are hungry between meals have an 8 ounce glass of room-temperature water with lemon or a cup of tea. Wait 20 minutes.
If you are still hungry have an apple.

#7  MEASURE YOUR PLATE
No more than a third of your plate should be animal based (ie protein, like chicken, fish, eggs and meat). the remaining two thirds should be made up of either two or more different vegetables plus healthy whole grains such as lentils, brown rice or pasta.

If you try to follow these seven simple rules not only will you notice a difference in your weight and appearance but you will feel a whole lot better in yourself.
