Weight loss and Exercise.

Do you exercise to lose weight? If Yes, please read this next chapter.

Exercise increases the energy demand on the body "True" excess calories are stored in/on our body either as stored carbohydrate or stored Fat "True" When you exercise you use these stored calories as energy and lose weight??? Do You?

Our body is very clever and at the same time very simple when it comes down to survival. Weight loss and exercise are a tricky mix and if you want to achieve the maximum out of your weight loss training then please read on.

Our body will prefer energy in this order:
Carbohydrate
Fat
Protein

To utilise these energy sources you must first be consuming the 52 essential nutrients you need daily. These essential elements also known as macro/micronutrients are the catalysts to the larger energy sources "Macronutrients". They encourage the macronutrients to release their energy and let the body know its OK to use this abundant energy source instead of keeping hold of it. If you follow a poor diet your body will hold onto the Fats and will consume your healthy tissues which will eventually decrease your energy need which will increase your weight.

Confused? got any questions? Please do ask.

Weight loss varies person to person.In the beginning instead of taking big targets, focus on losing one pound a week by making an accurate daily diet plan and workout routine. For diet plan consult with health expert.
You don't have to follow a strict diet to reduce your weight , just follow basic steps which a speed up the metabolism and fat burning hormones and reduce weight.

Start some proper exercise plan and do some high intensity cardio exercises to lose your extra fat.
Do outdoor cardio specially jogging, running, swimming, and rope jumping etc. in your daily workout for at least 30 minutes to burn the fat in your belly and back. Also control your diet, add more raw veggies and protein foods in place of processed and junk foods in your routine diet to get more weight loss support.

For you, Copied from one of the health forums - Hope it would be of a great help !

Weight loss tip 1: Decide how much weight you need to lose - Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn't a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.

Weight loss tip 2: Time management - This is quite often overlooked. Decide which part of your day will be dedicated to exercise, when in the week you will stock up on groceries, and when you will do the cooking - all within your current work and home life routine. If you don't do this now, your days will be rushed and unplanned, and you won't be able to sustain your weight loss efforts.

Weight loss tip 3: Stock your kitchen - Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step - cooking healthy meals at home.

Weight loss tip 4: Eat healthy homecooked meals - Whether it's you who's cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who's lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you'll start seeing results in no time.

Weight loss tip 5 : Start a cardio + weights workout - A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.

Weight loss tip 6: Alter your snacking habits . Set those French fries aside, skip that aerated drink, and ban those unhealthy deep fried samosas. Explore the healthy snack world and you will find several appetisers, party snacks, movie snacks and meal accompaniments that'll satisfy every craving of yours.

Weight loss tip 7: Have at least one active hobby - It isn't sufficient to rely on just 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Moving from bed to office chair, and back to bed, isn't a healthy way to live. Buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family, plan weekend trips, clean your house once a week, dance, play sports, the list is endless. Get out of the coffee shop and dining table rut, and you'll have fun along with the healthy weight loss

Weight loss tip 9: Drink plenty of water - You've known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it's time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you'll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.

Weight loss tip 10: Plan healthy vacations - Why go all the way with healthy weight loss, when one tiny vacation will just come along and topple it all? Healthy vacations aren't impossible. Take a look at how you can eat smart on a holiday, and then at bodyweight workouts that you can carry with you wherever you go, to understand how to holiday right. Above all, remember that these are lifelong habits that'll help you stay fit forever and not short term weight loss quickfixes

good luck.
