So, you have decided that you are going to try to lose some
weight. Who isn't trying to lose weight these days?
Everyone is looking for the perfect weight loss diet.
Everywhere you look there are books about dieting,
television shows about dieting, exercise programs promising
to "burn the fat", and more websites than you can
count...they are all promising to help you lose weight.
A healthy weight loss rate is a few pounds dropping off
each week, and to do this, you need to eat a healthy and
balanced diet (trade the McDonald's for a home cooked meal
is a good way to start) and you need to exercise regularly.
To lose one pound, you need to burn thirty five hundred
calories. Weight loss is basic math: if you burn more
calories than you take in, you will lose weight.
Before jumping head first into the latest weight loss diet
fad, are you sure that you even need to lose weight? What
is the reason for this decision to diet? Just because you
weigh more than you might want to, and just because you
might be bigger around than the latest stick thin
supermodel, does not necessarily mean that you need to lose
weight. Make sure to schedule an appointment with your
doctor and maybe a nutritionist as well. These two health
professionals will be able to help you figure out an ideal
(and healthy!) target weight and put you on a weight loss
diet plan to help you get there.
Once you have figured out your target weight, the next step
is to decide on a regular exercise regime. You don't need
to join a fancy gym or work out for hours a day. You simply
need to exercise enough to burn some fat and build some
muscle. It is amazing how many calories a simple walk
around the block can burn.
In the event that you feel like you might need some help
with your weight loss diet, there are a number of diet
programs out there that have large success rates. Jenny
Craig and Weight Watchers are the best. Not only do these
programs give you the support you need to hit your target
weight, they will teach you how to look at food and portion
control. You will learn how to eat to get healthy instead
of eating to get full. The points system used by Weight
Watchers has been especially effective.
What is important is that you are healthy. Being thin
should be an afterthought. Of course, if it happens in the
course of improving your health then you should be extra
happy!
