Secrets to Losing Weight Fast

by Joseph Then

Losing weight and looking good is something that many people want to do, but it is also something that many people try to do and fail to do. Why is there such a problem with burning and losing fat? It is often attributed to genetics.

Some people simply believe they are overweight and always will be because that is just their body type. That is not true, though. Anyone can be fit and thin. It may take more work for some people than others, but with the right winning formula you can join the ranks of people who are thin for life.

If you know the secret formula, I bet you you can get the results fast.

The Magic Mix

The magic formula is actually very simple. All you need is a mixture of diet and exercise. You have to lower your calorie intake and you also need to exercise to burn off the fats. See, this is the magic solution everyone have been looking for.

Well, if you have been wondering, let me tell you that the science behind it is very simple. In order to lose a pound of fat, you need to lose 3500 calories. However, cutting only calories from your iet alone usually leads to unhealthy eating. If you combine that routine with with exercise and you can be healthy about losing weight.

Exercising Tips

You will get the best workout when you exercise at a time when your blood sugar is low. This means doing it some time after your eat or before you eat. Many professionals suggest working out first thing in the morning before you eat anything. This allows your body to burn more fat.

The best suggestion that I can offer is that you should workout at your target heart rate. I am sure most of you may not know what your target heart rate is. Let me tell you. Subtract your age form 220. You will then need to workout at 55% to 85% of this maximum heart rate. However, if you are a beginner, you should only workout at 55% to 65% of that number.

Keep Motivated

I am sure you have given up trying to keep up with your diet and exercise routine. What you need is motivation. I agree that it is one of the biggest challenges to stay motivated. You may have been working out for the past week and there are no visible results but, let me remind you this; it is not about what the scale or mirror is showing, it is also about how you feel.

To help keep you motivated avoid the scale altogether. Your weight will go up and down throughout the day so your weight is not a good indicator. Instead take your measurements. This is a better reflection of your progress.

It can also help to find someone to workout with. They will help keep you motivated. It is harder to give up when someone else is working with you.
