Eat Well and Start Losing Body Fat Today

Leave a Comment

Many people struggle with weight loss, one of the number one reasons people find it difficult to lose weight is lack of motivation and determination. You can only truly start losing body fat safely if you recognise that you need to make a lifestyle change. Losing weight is not something that will happen overnight, however it is possible to lose weight fast and safe by eating sensibly, remaining active and drinking plenty of water.

Eating Sensibly

When it comes to losing weight you have to look at your eating habits and figure out a way of changing them for good. If you think to yourself, I am going to to go on a crash diet, then you will lose the weight but it will not be permanent. Therefore you have to make the commitment to start eating healthily for the rest of your life. This does not mean that you can never have a bar of chocolate. Moderation is key when it comes to losing weight. You can even eat everything you were eating before, but just cut your portions in half. Because at the end of the day, to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume, to create a deficit. Therefore; if you are eating the same foods you were eating before but eating much less, you will be consuming less calories. This does not mean, on a daily basis you should be consuming chocolates and biscuits. However; it does mean that you can designate yourself a day where you eat some of the things that you like eating. So, before if you were eating a lot of chocolate then, you can have one chocolate bar on your treat day. Try and eat more fruit and veg, at least five portions on a daily basis.

Drink Plenty of Water

Drinking plenty of water and keeping your body hydrated is very important. Did you know that drinking the recommended amount of water a day, whilst you are trying to lose weight can increase your body’s metabolism by up to three percent? Well this is the case, therefore; if you want to lose weight, you should be drinking at least eight large glasses of water a day. If you are exercising you should add one glass for each hour of exercise that you are doing.

Exercise

Changing your eating habits can help you on your journey to losing body fat. However; you will find that if you include at least 30 minutes of exercise into your regime a day, you can lose weight fast and safe. For example, 30 to 45 minutes of brisk walking, jogging or cycling is a good start. If you add strength training to your regime as well this is even better. Strength training can help your body to burn fat even when it is at rest.

Summary

In order to see results and to help you lose weight fast and safe. You need to eat a sensible diet, with plenty of fruit and veg. You also need to try and introduce some exercise and drink plenty of fresh water on a daily basis.
