What is the quickest way to lose weight?
Losing weight is not a mysterious process. It is burning more calories than you eat. However, if it were really that simple, none of us would have a weight problem. The real secret to weight loss is this: make small changes every day and you will slowly lose those unwanted pounds. Forget about quick results.
Never starve yourself through crash diets. Cut out refined carbohydrates, eat lean proteins and limit fat intake. Exercise about 3-4 times a week for approximately 45-60 minutes. Vary your workouts with a balanced cardiovascular, strength training and stretching routine.
Is diet less important than exercise?
Diet plays a greater role in any fitness goal. Not enough food intake and you will see little or no results from your workouts. On the other hand, too much food intake will neutralize any gains (or losses) from your exercise routines.
How do I decrease the size of my waistline?
Exercising to reduce a specific part of your body is a myth. Fat is stored all over your body with the largest concentration of fat around the hip and abdominal area. Unfortunately, we do not get to select where the fat will be discharged first no matter how much you exercise that part. A combination of a sensible diet and a balanced exercise program will eventually decrease the size of your gut.
Do you'recommend that I exercise every day?
No. I rarely endorse training more than five days a week. Rest and recuperation is just as important and should be part of a well-planned exercise program.
When would be the best time to exercise?
There are pros and cons to working out during different times of the day. Your best bet is to exercise when it is most convenient for you, consistently. You are better off exercising after work if you keep skipping out on your workouts because you could not get up in the morning.
