Wanna lose weight? Watch your diet

While the billion dollar dieting industry is vast enough in possibilities that seemingly have no end, with the results, boundaries are reached soon after a person sets his journey. There are several avenues to travel: it can be plain old hunger; a juice-diet or a holistic, uncooked one, they may get as extreme as they can get. So, reductio ad absurdum – how about chopping down the concept of dieting altogether? You do not apply Band-aids – the quick remedies for short-term conditions - on large and nasty bodily wounds.

A proper weight loss program requires addressing both behavior and metabolism modifying measures and not just bang the body fat. The stricter you are with your diet, more shall you constrict success. Of course, restrictions ARE required regarding saturated fats and complex carbohydrates, but that must be an incremental reduction. The change must be a healthy one and not troublesome or penalizing. This is tapering: the body’s path to balance on the normal, pre-defined set point. With water, one should practice an upward tapering till it reaches 3 liters a day.

The rule of thumb in this aspect is to eat moderate quantities at regular intervals.  Instead of reducing calories at the end of a day (cutting your dinner to 1/3rd of its normal proportion), reduce that over multiple meals. This also induces the silent burning of calories, for the body even burns up calories for digesting food. On an average, it is 10% of the total calories present in the food eaten. Besides, it assures the body that there is a regular supply of fuel and it shall stop stocking them up. And top of all, no great things can be done on an empty stomach; that your tummy is full is a signal of surging forward with whatever you’ve set for yourself.

That was only the first half of the story; you also need to workout regularly. No need to go for light lengthy sessions; instead, small, intense bursts shall do you good. That means cardios and aerobics are nice to warm up and 10 minutes are enough; the chief regime should involve as much weight as your strength permits for 5 reps at a time, over 5 sets. It’s a quick calorie burner and muscles respond more because of the shock. All in all, feed your muscles with the fat and it’s not long before you shall witness a new you.
