The One & The ONLY Way to keep The Weight OFF

There's no easy way to lose weight. Whether you decide on a high-protein diet, a low-fat diet, or some other approach, experts agree that the only way to shed excess weight is to cut the total numbers of calories you consume and/or burn more calories through exercise. Simple enough to understand- but often much more difficult to do.

The "secret" to losing weight is this : BURN more calories than you eat!!!! When the body uses more energy than it takes in (remember , foods equals energy), it depletes its fat stores. In other words, eat less and your body will burn fat for energy. Of course, what you eat is important, too. A diet based solely on cabbage soup won't provide the nutrition your body needs- and you'll get tired of it soon enough and return to your old eating habits with a vengeance.

Any weight-loss plan needs to center on foods you can keep eating for a lifetime-and of course it helps if those foods will also help protect you from cancer and other disease. After all, it's not all about losing weight. A diet that is high in meat and low in fruit (Atkins Diet, for example) may lead to short-term weight loss, but is not in keeping with current nutritional knowledge. Excessive meat consumption has been linked with a variety of diseases and a high-fruit diet protect against cancer.
Fruit, vegetables, whole-grains foods, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein are the cornerstone of healthy eating, whether or not you're trying to trim your waistline. The foods that your body can easily do without - which happen to be the ones packed with calories- are the ones to cut back on. That means cakes, cookies, fatty meats, whole milk, cream sauces, and the like.

When people want to lose weight, they usually want instant results. Most people who go on crash diets to shed heft fast usually end up putting it back on just as quickly and often put back more than they lost. Experts suggest a goal of losing about 1 lb (0.45kg) a week. There are 3500 calories in 1 lb (0.45kg) of stored fats, so you'll have to reduce your food intake by 500 calories a day to get there. Or you can eat 250 fewer calories and burn 250 more through exercise.
