subject: Quick Weight Loss Tips And Balancing Energy [print this page] Here are a few quick weight loss tips to enable you to enjoy losing weight rather than hating it as most people do. The majority of people approach losing weight with trepidation and would rather be doing anything but dieting and trying to lose weight. It needn't be like that.
You can lose weight and fat while enjoying doing it, because what is your ultimate goal: to look and feel great and really be proud of your achievement. You partner will be really proud of your new look, and might show that in more tangible ways. Hard work? Little do they know - because if you follow these quick weight loss tips it will be anything but.
Exercise
Forget exercise - you hate doing it or you wouldn't need to read this - you would be slim already. So it's daft giving you loads of routines to go through, Pilates, calisthenics, call them what you will - they all suck to you. What you want are easy quick weight loss tips, not something that involves a lot of time and hard work. Are you aware of the fact that exercise is unnecessary for you to lose weight? Just eat less!
Time
You might not have a lot of time, with the kids having to go to school, and meals to cook, Or if you are male, then you have to work all day then get the feet up in the evening for your 'well earned rest' after work. Don't worry, we all need these times, but you can still lose weight and fit that old wedding suit when the time comes that you need it again!
Diet
OMG: I just wrote that swear word - 'DIET'. Did you know you don't need to go on a diet to lose weight? Just exercise more! If you did diet, there are ways to do that and enjoy your food just as much as you did before.
Balance
Exercise and diet: read these sections again. Eat less or carry out more exercise and you will lose weight, but is not really accurate. You can eat more, in fact, but what you have to do is balance what you eat with the energy you expend.
Exercise expends energy just as the food you eat contains energy: energy measured in units known as calories (a heat measurement but equates to energy). Exercise can also be measured in terms of a unit of heat capacitance that you know as calories, but it is important that you use the same units for diet and exercise so you can compare and balance the energy you eat with the energy you use up.
Metabolism
That seems a biggish word, but all it means is all the energy used in your body to enable you to breathe, your heart to circulate your blood, to digest your food and for all the chemical reactions inside your body, the biochemistry that keeps your alive -the energy (calories) needed for all these to take place. All of these use up energy, and that is your metabolic rate - in simple terms, the energy that is required to keep you alive.
Add the energy used by your metabolism to the energy you use in exercise (even just to stand up and sit down), and then take that away from the energy in your food. If the result is positive, you will put on weight. No question! If the result is negative, you will lose weight. Again no question!
In fact, ignore your metabolism - you don't know what energy is used for that. Your results should be based on your exercise, and then you can gauge it from there. Some people use more energy than others while at rest - they have a high metabolic rate. They find it easier to lose weight, and seem to eat all they want without looking any different! Disgusting people!
Tips For Quick Weight Loss
Quick Weight Loss Tip #1: All that information can be used to lose weight or gain it. Check over your diet and substitute low fat equivalents for the fatty foods in it. Margarine, milk, ice cream, mayo, soft drinks, cheese: all with the 'diet' alternatives or those that that contain less fat.
Quick Weight Loss Tip #2: Walk more - exercise when watching TV, get a push mower, use the bus rather than the car and get off a stop or two early, use stairs rather than elevators - whatever you want, but move about a bit more.
Quick Weight Loss Tip #3: There is no #3. At least not yet. First you must understand the weight loss equation and work out how you can use it. If you do more exercise the you can lose weight without having to diet. If you eat less calories then you can lose weight quickly without any extra exercise. You can do both and strike a balance.
Keep in mind that this is for you, not me. I don't need to exercise or diet because I eat what I like and use that up in my metabolism and my daily routine. If you do the same, just lean it one way and you lose weight - go the opposite way and you put on weight. Simple!
That's the only quick weight loss tip you need really.
