Losing weight can be difficult for a lot of people. The main reasons are as follows: People are too lazy to exercise, some people dont have a very flexible schedule to exercise due to a hectic job, and the most common of them all is most people have a very poor diet. I will say that the primary key to weight loss is ones meal plan. To successfully lose weight one must be in a caloric deficit of 500 calories below maintenace each day. The saying you are what you eat is entirely true. If you eat junk you're going to look like junk, and if you eat good you're going to look good. When shopping for groceries try to stay around the perimeter of the store because thats where most of the natural healthier foods are. The foods down the middle of the aisles are mostly processed, full of sugar and contain unhealthy fats and ingredients that most dont know about. When it comes to exercise its not as bad as it may seem. Actually once you begin a weekly training regimen it becomes a routine that you start to enjoy. You will feel much better physically and mentally. Cardiovascular exercise is obviously the best for burning calories and losing weight. With that being said I highly recommend anyone trying to lose weight to do cardio at least 3-4 times a week for 20 minutes. The treadmill is the most popular piece of cardiovascular equipment and I use it 3 times a week myself. So for those of you who seriously need to lose weight, its high time that you start eating better and exercising regularly. Being over weight can cause many health problems and not to mention lack of confidence and poor self esteem. You can do it so get started today!
