Live Long And Prosper

The two vital elements in living a long and healthy life are diet and fitness

. Diet and fitness goes hand in hand, but they are not the same. Much like a coin having heads and tails. Indivisible but distinct to achieving a long and healthy life. It is fairly possible to have a absolutely healthy diet with awful fitness lifestyle. It is similarly possible to be very physically healthy with less than savory eating habits.

Honestly it is quite probable to lose weight permanently with diet alone. It may not be easy, but it is possible. It is quite normal to be physically fit with some extra fats in some areas of your body. To a large degree we are what we eat. By consuming a high fat low nutrient diet, our bodies will not have sufficient fuel to last us through the day and burn the fat.. And our bodies will not be able to build muscle if we do not give it the proper foods it needs to do it.

Diet and fitness are a dynamic duo, they work best jointly rather than separately.. Employ a good fitness routine to burn excess fats and calories while eating a correct diet to give nutrition for the body for health and muscle growth. I've heard many times in my life that a pound of muscle weighs less than a pound of fat. While this is not right at all, a pound is a pound regardless; a pound of muscle takes up smaller space on the body than a pound of fat. Pound for pound, I would much rather my body be composed of muscle than fat. Dieting alone will not build muscle and that is something you will do well to bear in mind in your efforts.

It is notable to point out that as you are building muscle and burning fat, your weight may still stay the same. It is very important that you keep this in mind during the weight loss process. Do not measure your progress by the scales alone or you will achieve misleading results. The problem is that far too many individuals do just that and get frustrated and give up when they are in fact making progress. Do not allow yourself to be a victim of the scales. Look in the mirror, try on your tight pants, and measure your waistline. Evaluate your accomplishment by how you feel after climbing a flight of stairs not by how many pounds fell of the scale this week.

By incorporating fitness into your diet plan you are also enabling your body to burn off any extra calories you may have consumed throughout the day. This means that if you wish to have a small 'cheat' during your day, you can make up for it by burning a few more calories than usual in the evening. This isn't something that should occur often but an infrequent occurrence isn't going to make or break your diet.

You should also look at dieting and fitness as a ball and glove type of relationship. While you can play ball without the glove, it seems to work so much better if you have both. Diet and fitness when combined can generate fantastic weight loss results for individuals who take them both seriously. The thing to bear in mind is that neither works as well alone and neither will work unless you are willing to do the work. You must make this a priority in your life in order to realize the best possible results.
