Be realistic about weight loss

To lose weight and keep it, cut kilojoules and exercise. Most of us know. But do you know how much exercise it takes to lose weight? You need to do an hour a day of intense cardiovascular exercise, five days a week, and some form of sport.

A two-year study conducted by researchers from the Department of Health and Physical Activity at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States, found that women who lost most of the weight recorded 270-300 minutes of exercise week. Can you imagine yourself doing this exercise at this point? Forever? The same thought is probably enough to make you want to throw in the towel and sweat tear the bag of chips, right?

So it is better to make peace with your body is not so thin that you have and try to be healthy and fit (while losing some weight in the process), rather than doing nothing ?

  • Mind Over Matter


In a study published in the Journal of The American Medical Association, 900 women with heart problems, it was found that women who were overweight but fit were less likely to have blocked arteries or suffer a crisis heart, stroke, or other heart problems than those who were normal weight but not height. What distinguishes them is a healthy lifestyle - not starvation diets or diets similar exercises in the army, but healthy food choices and light exercise into their integrated lifestyle.

They also knew that the body has its limits and that being overweight is a health problem - if you have a propensity for fat, you can always go back to fat. While it is easy to think that with the proper diet and appropriate exercise routine, you can look like Jessica Alba, is not realistic. She was thin to begin with, and its natural form DNA of the body means it has probably always subtle.

By comparing your body with that of another person would be like forcing your feet in the shoes of someone else - someone with little feet. Work with your body instead. Calculate your body mass index, which determines how much you should weigh based on your height.

If you are overweight or obese, losing 5% to 15% by weight to reduce the risk of developing heart disease and improve blood circulation and reduce cholesterol. If you weigh 90 kg, for example, that means losing between 4.5 kg and 13.5 kg. Once you're on the road to weight loss, the key to keeping it off is to accept that the loss is only the beginning. What should follow a change in your lifestyle, which includes food choices and some form of exercise.

  • Physical obstacles


Yes, you can achieve a healthy weight through exercise kilojoules and control. Healthy weight is the size at which your body feels good and fed, unlike weight of the mode, where your body thin air, but is not necessarily healthy.

The best advice is to move. Fit body burns more kilojoules than inactive. Exercise strengthens muscles, speeding resting metabolism, which helps the body to burn energy. No more than 10-30 minutes of exercise a day improves the quality of life and how we perceive ourselves.

Exercise - especially aerobic activity - increases the metabolic rate and the production of enzymes needed to burn fat. It also helps the body deal with stress - the production of endorphins rushing drinks after a workout. Twenty minutes of aerobic exercise four times a week will keep you from feeling sluggish.

Consider a fun sport with a friend, like swimming, running, walking, biking or hiking, or join an aerobics class - all great fat-burning forms of exercise.

  • Start small


Try some of these easy ways to get moving: up the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator, walk to the grocery store on the corner for lunch instead of the delivery of the order, use stairs instead of the escalator in shopping malls, or get a dog that will encourage you to make daily walks.

If you have been completely sedentary for a while, start with 10 minutes of walking or swimming to relieve your body in training mode. Beginners should work three or four times a week, which is enough to start building your cardiovascular health.
