We all want to look good, no doubt. We try working out, going to the gym, eating this not that.. etc, but it doest seem to work. How many years it has been for you?
We read the articles, watch shows, but the next hour we forget
about it like the shows we see about cooking or making money. It
certainly sounds good, but simply doesn't works for most out
there.
The truth is most of these ideas are simply BS.
They talk about workout, diets. Hardly 10 in 100 people
do that regularly . As much as we probably should in todays
world, most of us simply cannot incorporate these ideas in our
Lifestyle..
Therefore what we really need is a plan that works for the 90%
of people, not the 10%, a realistic approach that brings
about permanent change.
First off we all have different lifestyle and no plan works for
all. Some people have a job where they sit 8hrs a day, others have
some physical activity.
Now understand this, one with more physical activity will simply
be little slimmer unless he goes home and sucks a 6pk. You
cannot compare with this type of individual. Neither you can with
some one who's lifestyle is like Paris Hilton.
If you are among many who goes to work and relax in spare time, than here are few simple changes most of us Can accomodate.
Start with taking a Good look into your current lifestyle and find out what, where you can adjust to and how much. Here are few, but not all, examples that may help someone:
There are 3 major things that affect the weight for
most of us. Sugar, Fats and Bread.
Limit their intake.
Four years ago I quit drinking soda completely as i dont believe in
diet. I drink juice instead with no added sugars in it.
(however i do not recommend too much juice either).
1. A regular soda a day constitutes to roughly 100 spoons
of sugar a month depending upon how much you drink. So watch your
overall sugar intake in any drinks or food and loose anywhere from
3-7lbs a year. (4.2 grams equal to 1 teaspoon) This is how
you need to start counting.
2. Loose the pizza and bunch of excess bread. If not, at least
order one with less cheese and thin crust. (3-10lbs a year) Learn
to substuitute, if you cant quit.
3. Stop eating pepperonis, sausages etc. These foods are not a
mature choice. Not only you will keep off some lbs. but also smell
better. (another 3-10lbs a yr).
4. Substitute your selection with heavy fat to light fat food. Ex: Instead of a meatball sub, get anything less fatty. Once full you would not care for it anymore. Try it. (5-10lbs a year)
5. Another classic ex. is throw out one egg yolk out of 3 eggs. Iam eating ice cream tonight, and eggs in the morning too. I want it all. (small changes)
6. Take it easy on mayo, 10/20 bags of chips a month, fried foods...and enjoy the New you.
7. If you ever overindulge, balance it somehow.
Overall i hope you get the point rather than getting stuck on some technicality.
So how does loosing 12-15lbs in the first year sound (or 8-10% of your body weight)?
Depending upon your choices one can easily loose some excess weight . Diet is not a diet, but a lifestyle choice. Take care of it.
