After holidays, it's time to go back in shape. Your weight is regulated by Energy Balance, and calories are part of that equation. Some diets may promise you that counting carbs or eating a bunch of fruits and veggies will make the extra pounds drop off. But when it comes to weight loss, it is calories what counts the most. The formula is really simple: "Weight loss comes down to burning more calories that you take in". You can do that by reducing extra calories from food and beverages and increasing calories burned through physical activity so that you keep a negative energy balance towards losing weight. Once you understand this basic equation, you are ready to set your weight loss goals and make a plan to reach them.
The tips
- Weight loss might be a long trip and you do not have to be it alone. Ideally you can regularly follow Virtual Personal Trainer, get a real personal trainer to be your weight loss coach or alternatively find support within your social network, family or friends. Social networks, mobile / wearable technology and apps are playing a major role in keeping people on track with their healthy habits and can certainly help with your weight loss goal.
- You should plan it wisely. Try to anticipate how you will handle situations that challenge you and the inevitable minor disappointments they might come on the way. Those times are also important and necessary to know more about yourself and plan new changes and improvement strategies and also for reviewing goals and establishing new ones.
- If you have any health issue, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will need to thoroughly discuss the potential benefits and the possible risks of initiating a weight loss plan.
- Read more hints on how to lose weight fast and healthy.
Finally, remember the bottom line ...
The key to successful weight loss is a commitment to making permanent changes in your diet and exercise habits, and most important, you should give yourself enough time because "Rome was not built in a day"
