Fat Loss - Langhorne Personal Trainer Speaks On What To Avoid And What To Do
With a huge percentage of the population of Western countries overweight and out of shape, it's no wonder that the demand for fitness products is as strong as ever. Diet pills, protein shakes and exercise gadgets are selling like crazy as people try to lose weight and have a better quality life.
As the lure of fast-food spreads eastward from the Western countries, statistics for obesity and high blood pressure are increasing. The unbalanced, protein-centered drive-thru fare is gaining a worldwide following fast- leaving soft, rounded bellies in its wake.
Fad diets earn a huge following because in increasing number of folks are desperate to lose fat. Sadly, most people find out the effects of dieting are only temporary and they fall off the wagon and gain back the weight they lost after a few months.
The secret to fat loss is no secret at all. It's all about using-up the calories that we get from food and the only way to achieve that is through physical activity. Since the days of plowing the field and foraging for roots and berries are long gone- replaced by drive-thrus and dial-a-pizza, it's quite difficult to burn our daily input of calories without regular exercise.
Fat loss happens faster when we exercise and use up a larger amount of caloric energy than we get from our daily consumption of food. Aside from improving our physique, working out regularly also conditions the cardiovascular system and produces endorphins which improve our mood.
Trying to lose fat by depriving ourselves of the right amounts of food can result in weight loss, but it might not be all from fat. Furthermore, it can lead to binging and losing control when we're in a party with delicious food.
Experts say it's more effective to eat small portions whenever we get the munchies rather than stuffing ourselves every meal. Doing this can also keep our metabolism high and lets us burn calories more efficiently. It's been discovered that our metabolic rate slows down considerably when our body senses a shortage of food.
Having healthy eating habits and sticking to regular fat-burning exercises (cardio and strength training) will help speed-up fat loss and keep metabolism high. Raising the body's metabolic rate means less calories transformed to fat.
