Yeah, I hear that you want to lose 30 pounds, and are having a hard time getting started. Fear not. Try the following approach and see how it works.
To begin, I’m going to tell you about an article that recently grabbed my attention. Some actor was asked how he got into shape for his new role. “I ate less and exercised more – it’s not rocket science,” was the actor’s response.
With an answer like that, it makes you feel that weight loss isn’t that hard, doesn’t it? Is all that scientific mumbo-jumbo about metabolism, calories, oxygen, and so on really important to know? Regardless of the different types of diets, reduced calories consumption reigns as the top choice.
Let’s start with some diet basics. First off, don’t drink anything unless it’s water or milk. Everything else has either unneeded calories or junky chemicals.
The next thing to think about is to make sure that your meals are small, and you eat about five times a day. This helps to keep your body in fat burning mode. If you start each meal with a piece of fruit or some vegetables, you’ll fill up faster.
Ok, but what should your meals look like? You’re the only one who knows what you will and won’t eat. Below are some things to think about. Just remember to eat less than you normally do.
Don’t eat anything that has high fructose corn syrup or trans fats (partially hydrogenated oil). Those things are poison for your body and will pack on pounds. It is equally important not to eat at a restaurant, or any fried foods. This is important – always eat breakfast, and always eat protein in every meal.
Now let’s talk about some exercising. What’s really important is that you do something, anything. Get up and go for a walk, then progress up to a jog, then move on to sprints, or bicycling, tennis, swimming, push-ups, jump-squats, etc. Don’t worry about the specifics, just make sure you’re breaking a sweat, breathing hard, and getting that heart rate up. Of course, talk to your doctor before starting any new workout program.
