The quickest way to lose weight is through diet and exercise, period. That means taking in fewer calories than you utilize. There’s no need to starve, and in fact periods of starvation such as missing a meal could lead to more weight gain when the body enters ’starvation’ mode, not to mention starving yourself could cause tremendous damage to your body. Like so many other things slow and steady wins the race. In the long run a smart every day diet combined with good exercise is the quickest way to lose weight. That’s without the yo-yo effect of many fad diets.
Diet means the everyday way you eat, not a short term fix for losing weight. Foods from each food group are part of a healthy, balanced diet. From there adjust down calories at times when some weight loss is needed.
Sounds like a big change, huh? It might not be. You may already eat most of the foods needed for a well balanced diet, just not in the right portions. Cut down quantities, replace starches with whole grains, and you can still even eat cake while losing weight.
A good diet plan includes preparing for special occasions as well as for meals at home. Eating at restaurants and friends’ homes doesn’t mean breaking good eating habits.
Ask some questions. Part of the plan is understanding that sometimes the plan will fail. Don’t let a failure discourage you. One cheated meal doesn’t mean the whole diet, remember it’s an every day for the rest of your life diet not just a few days diet, has failed.
As for exercise perform 30 minutes of aerobic exercise seven days a week. That’s the goal, don’t worry if you miss a day here or there. Add extra exercise such as parking further from the store or office for a little walk, or using stairs instead of the elevator.
Combine the healthy every day diet with physical activity for the quickest way to lose weight.
