Want the Slim Trim Body You Dream About?
Next time you feel you are a few pounds overweight and are tempted to diet your way out it, stop and consider your fitness-based alternatives.
To lose weight for the long term the number one thing you must first do is switch your thinking - your mindset.
If you still believe that you need to depend on calorie skimping diets and deadly boring 'calorie burning' activity to be able to lose weight you will be doing yourself a huge disservice.
Just for now, how about you agree to set aside what you think you know about weight loss.
If whatever you have been doing in the past has not worked as well as you would like, a fresh approach may be just the ticket you need to kick start your health and fitness goals.
Taking the emphasis off your body weight and putting it on strength improvements and metabolic rebuilding so you can burn more fuel (calories) not only will transform your approach to nutrition and exercise but it will help 'reboot' your whole mindset.
Here are the top four reasons to help you switch into a strength/fitness-centric mode for a more effective and sustainable weight loss solution: 1.
) Your muscle cells are where fat is burned so by improving their condition with proper strength training exercise the more fuel (calories) they will burn both day and night.
Long, slow endurance type activities like walking, jogging or cycling will not tone your muscles and can never give you a strong, lean, slim body.
2.
) Strength training exercise balances the body's hormones for easier weight loss.
The stress hormone cortisol (a fat storage hormone) is reduced which curbs cravings that can lead to overeating.
Growth hormone is stimulated when the muscular system is worked which will tone your muscles and increase the metabolic rate - essential for long term weight loss.
3.
) To support your proper exercise program you need to eat right.
High quality food divided up into small meals throughout the day with each meal containing a source of protein is the ticket to fat loss.
Eating this way will give you the energy you need to make the transformation of a sluggish metabolism.
Eating low quality food and missing meals will not do it.
Your eating plan and exercise program must work together for weight loss.
4.
) The extra toned muscle tissue will give your body a youthful posture and better body shape.
Clothes look much better on a toned body.
Soft flabby muscles and extra fat will not help even the most expensive clothes look great.
Many people think toned muscles will make them larger but this is not so.
A larger heavier body comes from excess body fat.
Toned muscles are your friend and will give you a leaner, shapelier body.
Fat is the enemy so direct your focus on getting rid of that and the way to do that is to get your muscles burning more fuel.
Try this approach and watch your body change into the slim trim one you dream about.
