Day 28 – TLC | MOVE – A 30 Day Yoga Journey

It seems to me that so many people are overcomplicating things when it comes to diet and exercise. The amount of people I talk to who are on these strange diets to lose weight or are following this strange routine to get fit/get bigger is crazy.

Let's face it, when it comes to losing fat, things aren't always quite as black and white as they appear to be on paper. On paper things are pretty straightforward. You should eat less junk, eat healthier foods, and do more exercise. In the real world however, things aren't always as simple. If they were, the majority of the human race would be walking around with lean, toned, muscular bodies, as opposed to bodies carrying far too much excess body fat. Losing fat can be a struggle, but it's certainly not impossible, especially when you know what you're doing. For that reason, here are four effective ways of losing fat.

Now, when it comes to getting fitter and healthier, it doesn't take a genius to work out that two great places to start with are your diet and exercise levels. Being fit and healthy should be a part of everyday life for many, but instead, we choose to spend our free time in front of the TV or playing on computers, eating fatty junk food and hardly moving an inch. Needless to say, living a stationary unhealthy lifestyle like that is going to have extremely negative effects on your health, which could at the very least result in you gaining unsightly body fat, and at the worst, result in you dying prematurely. It may sound dramatic, but every single day, people all over the world lose their lives as a result of poor health and fitness levels. Yes, being fit and healthy is vital for us, and actually improving our fitness levels is not as difficult as you may think. Here are just four ways to get started.

Ever wonder why some people can get away with eating as much junk food as often as they like, and not gain a single pound of body fat, whilst others simply have to sniff a cake or a biscuit, and they automatically gain a few extra pounds?

The metabolism is basically the process inside the body, that is responsible for burning calories from the food we eat, as well as our body fat stores, and converting them into energy to get us through the day…

One of the most popular weight loss surgeries is gastric bypass. This procedure involves adjusting the size of the stomach and then severing the small intestine and joining one of the open ends to the new stomach pouch formed.

We get on a scale and trust the numbers that roll up. The truth of the matter is we need to be much more concerned with the percentage of fat lose, verses the actual amount of weight lost. Losing muscle for the sake of a better number on the scale defeats the purpose of true weight-loss. In the end losing the wrong type of weight will make it all the easier to gain more weight back.

Not many weight loss programs are delivering the results they promise to achieve. Most of them are too strenuous and over tasking that lead many people to abandon them. Several alternatives are available nowadays which are not over demanding to the overweight patient.

There are several exercises that a person can do in order to better themselves.

Physically active individuals, those that go to the gym and/or exercise regularly often require more energy than those that simply spend their time lounging around on the sofa in front of the TV every night.
