The Most Common Reason We are Overweight

Are you one of the millions trying your hardest to lose that excess weight only to end up sorely disappointed? Are you tired of feeling like a failure? Do you want to once and for all conquer your weight loss struggles?

If you are like most individuals, losing weight has been an ongoing battle for most of your life. You are not alone in this battle. Many individuals like you struggle with excess weight and have tried countless numbers of weight loss programs that have left them disillusioned and frustrated. Losing weight only to gain it all back is one of the most disheartening and discouraging things in life. In order to be able to lose weight successfully, you must first understand what brought you here in the first place.

The most basic reason that we are overweight is our relationship with food. How many times have you used food as an excuse? Do you use food to comfort yourself? Do you eat when you’re depressed or anxious? Just about any emotion can be connected with food and one way to break your food addiction is to find the root cause for your overeating. Sometimes people eat out of boredom. They watch TV and immediately just want to munch on some chips. Sometimes we even just mistake thirst for hunger.

Our abusive relationship with food is one of the most difficult things to correct. Unlike alcohol or drug addiction where you can take away the offending agent, food addiction is a completely different thing. You can’t just take food away. We need food to survive. However, we should eat to live and not live to eat. We should eat only enough to have enough energy to get us through our daily activities. The problem is we often times overindulge ourselves, eating until we are stuffed. This overindulgence leads to the excess fat being stored in our bodies. 

I have been a personal trainer since 2009, but since 2013 with my clients at the gym, I had this little experiment about testing different diets and programs bought from the internet. We tested 30 programs with 100 clients and me and my clients together determined which one is the best and which one is the most effective.Please have a look at the results of the experiment..


Weight Loss Options


If you are overweight, the best thing that you can do is find a weight loss option that will work for you. It does not matter how successful someone else was with a particular diet program because it might not work for you. Every body is different and people gain weight for different reasons. They also lose weight in different ways. There are many weight loss options available, some more drastic than others, so it is best to consult a doctor before choosing a particular option.

Lifestyle changes

The main reason many people are unsuccessful in their weight loss effort is because they don’t commit to the cause. They might spend a month or two on a restrictive diet, and once the weight is off they resort to old habits.  This is not a good long term plan. In order for you to lose weight and keep it off, you must make a few lifestyle changes. It does not really matter what type of weight loss option you chose, as long as you make changes to your daily life. Your environment is the place to start. Stock your home with healthy options such as lean meats, nuts and grains, vegetables, fruits and water.

You do not have to completely restrict yourself from eating foods such as ice cream or chocolate, but you do need to limit the amount you eat and how often you eat them. In any diet you focus on portion control on any diet, so although you might be eating baked chicken instead of fried, you still need to limit the amount. Drink a glass of water before each meal so that it will fill you up and you will eat less.

Weight loss programs

There are many weight loss programs available today and many celebrities all over the world have endorsed them. Some programs focus on portion control and limit the intake of certain foods containing sugars and starches. Other plans offer their members a meal plan as well as support in the form of weekly or monthly meetings. There are even weight loss plans that create your meals for you and deliver them to your home. This option is very popular among people who are too busy to prepare their own meals.

Exercise programs

Weight loss is more than just changing your eating habits; an exercise regime must be an integral part of your plan. When you exercise, you burn calories and fat and less fat in the body means a slimmer waistline.  There are many exercise programs that you can try such as yoga, Pilates, boxing, dancing, or swimming, plus you can switch up your options each week. For best results, do a mixture of high intensity workouts to help you lose the weight, but also incorporate strength training or targeted exercises that will tone your body.

7 tips For Weight Loss Success


Weight loss requires dedication and commitment because there are no magic tricks that can make the pounds disappear.  In order to lose weight you need a healthy diet plan, regular exercise, and a positive attitude. For your weight loss efforts to be successful, you must also surround yourself with people who can help and encourage you along the way. If you have a neighbor or friend who is also overweight, then team up and take this journey together. If you have coworkers who are overweight, then create teams and start a competition to see who can lose the most weight. A little competition never hurt anyone, but first here are some instructions to help you on your journey.Instructions on how to choose a plan:


   1.The first thing you need to do is establish how much weight you want to lose and a timeline for losing it. Make realistic goals such as 1-2 pounds a week for six months.  An unrealistic goal such as 30 pounds in 30 days will only leave you disappointed.
   2.Visit a doctor or a dietician and tell them about your long-term weight loss goal. They will be able to calculate how much weight you need to lose each week in order to achieve it.  They can also offer tips and advice on the healthiest ways possible to achieve your objective in the desired time.
   3.It is important that you learn to observe your body mass index, more commonly referred to as BMI. This is better than just knowing your body weight because BMI will let you know the appropriate weight for your particular height.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website has a chart that you can visit and calculate your BMI.
  4.Chose an exercise program that you can stick to for the long term. There are a number of options available to suit any preference. If you like being outdoors, then you can jog in the morning or take a hike on weekends. If you like to dance, then sign up for a dance class or a belly dancing class. If you prefer something else, then do yoga or Pilates. It is important to just do something fun that will keep you motivated.
  5.If you are not going to use a specialized diet program, you can still take tips from them to help you in your efforts. Some plans restrict protein while others restrict carbohydrates and sugars and some focus on limited amounts of starches. Read as much as you can about each diet and make sure you understand the pros and cons of the choices you make.
  6.Simple changes to your daily routine can play a major role in weight loss. Instead of taking the elevator at work, take the stairs. A five-minute walk to the supermarket is healthier than driving there.  If you have to drive somewhere, park your car a few miles away from your destination and walk the rest of the journey.
  7.Budget for your weight loss plan, if you opt for a popular program, there might be a cost to join. However, if you plan to lose weight on your own, you will need to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy options that might cost a little more than you usually spend on junk food. If you plan to join a gym or take a dance class, you will also need to spend money so take these things into consideration.  In the end, the extra money you spend will be worth it when you are successful in losing the extra pounds.

Lose Weight by Swimming - Schedule and Exercises

There are several good activities and sports available for losing your excess weight. Swimming is one of them. It has been proven that an hour of swimming burns 500 calories.



What are the benefits of swimming to aid weight loss?
Swimming burns calories, so helps you lose weight and swimming for weight loss has been regularly praised for its cardiovascular health benefits,especially for old people
As swimming uses so many muscles in your body, your heart and lungs must work hard to supply them all with oxygen. This means that swimming will give your cardiovascular system an excellent workout.
Any exercise that makes you breathe a little heavier is good because it means your body is working hard!  As your heart and lungs get stronger you will be able to go for longer before you get tired, your resting heart rate will decrease and blood pressure will lower.

Will swimming improve strength?

Swimming provides constant resistant training as you are battling against the water to propel your body forward. This makes it excellent for increasing strength especially in the upper body.
As your swimming progresses you will build muscle which in turn burns fat. So calories will be burned as you swim, plus you will burn more calories as your swimming improves.
You will also burn an increased amount of calories even after the exercise is finished as your body uses energy to recover and rebuild muscle tissue.
Schedule for Swimming Exercises
Schedule 1
  • 1st week: Alternating butterfly stroke, front crawl and backstroke, for about 12 minutes
  • 2nd week: Go as fast as you can. Do this for 16 minutes
  • 3rd week: Same as the 1st week, but for 20 minutes
  • 4th week: The same as the 2nd week, but then for about 25 minutes
Scheme 2
  • 1st week: 5 minutes in breaststroke, front crawl and backstroke. Do each exercise with an one minute rest. Swim in total for 20 minutes.
  • 2nd week: 5 minutes in freestyle, butterfly, backstroke and front crawl. Do each exercise with a one minute rest. Swim in total for about 25 minutes.

Burn Belly Fat Fast!

Losing belly fat: you must train your abs to lose belly fat? NO!

The biggest misconception about abdominal exercises is that they only burn belly fat.No matter what exercise you do, if you're going to burn fat, it comes from your body.
Ab exercises. strengthens the muscles in your abdominal area and have a stabilizing function, but they do not contribute to burn belly fat.
The truth is that abdominal exercises strengthens the abdomen. If that is your goal, then start with abdominal exercises today.
But if you are interested in burning belly fat, then you don't need to do ab exercises.
Belly fat burning is done by eating food that makes you lose weight. And that is easier than you might think.
Here are some suggestions to replace meals;
  • Bread as breakfast replaced by oatmeal with almond milk and blueberries
  • Bread for lunch replaced by a big salad with chunks of avocado, pistachio nuts, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, spinach and optionally a boiled egg (my personal favorite!)
  • Soda replaced by water with lime or a homemade smoothie.


EAT THESE FOODS TO LOSE BELLY FAT

Proteins:
  • Eggs
  • Meat: chicken, poultry, beef, lamb, pork, etc.
  • Fish: salmon, herring, sardines, mackerel, eel and cod
  • Beans: black-, Navy-, brown-, eye, and kidney beans (eat in moderation)
Fats:
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Palm oil
Other:
  • Vegetables and salad
  • Fruit: preferably as early as possible on the day (max 2 per day)
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Quinoa, brown rice and sweet potatoes (eat in moderation)
  • Gluten-free oatmeal and granola (eat in moderation)
  • Dark chocolate (75% cocoa +) (eat in moderation)
  • Dried fruit (eat in moderation)
