Which side are you? To be just thin or be slim and healthy? No doubt the second option is the one that many would choose. This takes us to a question every weight conscious people should answer before sticking to their weight loss program...is our weight loss program or diet plan healthy to our body?
Many people are now into trimming down their weight,
thanks to the sudden surge of weight loss companies promoting their own product "gimmicks"- the fastest, most effective, no-sweat method weight loss programs or products.
"Sexy is Fab!"
"If you are sexy, you're Hot!"
Sounds familiar? These are trendy words that many people are so eager to be part of. I'm not saying that this is totally wrong, but we also have to consider our health while dieting or following a weight loss program.
1. Don't Fall For Those Quick Weight Loss "Gimmicks"!
There are many ways to lose weight that won't affect your health negatively. One should also be aware on the type of diet they are going to take.
Naturally, when a person is totally excited in losing weight and they wanted to lose it real fast, they will end up with a crash diet. These people check their weight very often - sometimes everyday!
The result? They take crash diets that suggest them to eat less intensively!
Well, here's the fact, you will lose weight in a few days with this method but your body is also at stake. Our body needs enough calories to use as the energy to burn body fats. In order to get slimmer, we need to burn only the excess fats in our body. The reason why we are burning fat is because we want to convert it into muscle, to become proportionately fit with our body. If there's no sufficient energy in the body, this will surely lead to fatigue, sickness and a weak immune system.
It is always better to eat less quantity of the "right" food at the "right" time (at least five times a day). This will satiate your hunger and would boost your metabolism and fat burning effect.
Others do not eat the right food for their bodies. You should have the right meal at the right time and the food must be prepared by roasting, boiling, or steaming.
2. Engage in any exercise.
There's nothing more effective and healthier in getting you slimmer than doing exercises. Diet alone is not enough; you need to move your body with more effort to burn those massive fats.
Diet and exercise always come hand in hand. If you don't feel like jogging or running because it seems boring to you, try engaging to any dance group like aerobics or hip hop, ballroom or whatever kind of dance you like. Sports like biking, swimming, tennis or badminton are also a good option.
Any form of exercise that matches with your lifestyle or personal interests is fine. It is not necessary to go to the gym and carry some weights, but do something that will help turn your fats into muscles.
Strive to keep a healthy and energetic body while trying to lose weight at the same time. This will give you a lot of benefits in the future.
