I’m not going to sugar coat this because losing weight permanently involves getting your body into good physical condition. Most of those who want to lose weight don’t really understand what that means. When it’s been several years since you did any kind of exercise your body will need a lot of work. So where do you start.
You start by walking more, using stairs instead of an elevator for one or two floors, anyway. When you have an 8 hour a day job, it’s not easy to find time but before you get crazy and buy a gym membership you want to be able to speed walk for 30 minutes and feel good when you finish. If you can’t workout for 30 minutes you’ll waste your money on that gym membership.
If speed walking is difficult you want to start out slow and build up speed slowly, over several weeks of walking. Your training your heart for the workouts. Training your heart takes a little time but it essential if your workout is going to help you condition your body. Use a cell phone app to track your steps and try and do 5000 steps twice a day.
I walking in the morning, before work and than once again before bedtime. I walk with my dog. She’s a big dog that loves to walk and fates to go home until she’s tired. If you get to the point were you want to do more and you think your ready for the gym, you can use the trendmills and walk there. But I encourage you to do arm exercises at the gym at least three times a week.
You don’t have to live at the gym to get in shape but you do have to walk everyday. You should do the other exercises every other day. The alternate days walk outside, fresh air is good for your lungs and puts more oxygen in your blood. Exercising indoors even though it's air conditioned you are breathing the same indoor air over and over. That's not as good as outdoor air that's rich in oxygen.
But that’s not all, getting in shape means eating healthy. So what does that mean? For most people it means to forget about all those foods you like and start eating fresh produce, fruits and vegetables. Slow down on the red meat, and that includes Hamburger meat. Eat more white meat chicken and seafood. You only need to eat meat one meal a day. You want to get more protein from plants. You can also make protein shakes with protein powder and Greek yogurt, fruit, Soy milk or Almond Milk.
Your diet, the food and drinks you consume, is 80% of the weight loss process. Exercise is about 20 % of losing weight. You might have noticed your friends if they have lost weight, your body and face becomes thin and weak looking and that’s what you don’t want. What you really want is just to lose fat. Mostly around the waist and hips and you can do that. That’s why you want to exercise. You want to retain your muscle mass and your strength.
Another important part of eating the right way is to consume all your calories for the day in 8 hours and the other 16 hours you fast, no calories for 16 hours straight. The idea is to give your body time to process the food your ate and then because your not eating your body will burn stored fat to keep the body moving and working. So the 16 hours straight with no calories is key to the fat burning process.
Losing body fat is a life changing process. You’ll have to change all your habits and create new healthy habits. But the results for me was worth everything I had to do.
