So I have to exercise to lose weight? The real answer is...YES!
The only way to slim-down is to combine exercise with a nutritional program that works for you. It is best to eat foods that are protein-rich and combine them with natural vegetables that will help give you natural energy while maintaining muscle tone. So, any combination of protein and vegetables will work. The foods you must avoid are all sugars and starch. Now, if you must, only engage in eating brown sugar, brown rice, wheat pasta, and wheat bread...but only if you must.
You must combine healthy eating with an exercise program that works for you. Depending on your physical capabilities, you must choose the right exercise that will help you burn fat. The best way to lose weight and burn fat is to take in fewer calories than you burn while exercising. There are many different exercises to choose from and the key is to find the exercise combination that is right for you. For instance, you can combine a weight program with cardio. Personally, that is the combination that worked for me. At first, I started with more cardio than weights...probably 75%/25%. Then as I started to lose weight and reached my ideal weight, that ratio changed to 50%/50%. I now maintain myself with an even combination of weights and cardio coupled with healthy eating...it's the only way folks!
Of course, there are many other exercises to choose from. Believe it or not, Yoga is one of the most fat-burning exercises you can do...and it's not just for women. The right combination for you will depend on what motivates you. It is O.K. to just walk as a form of exercising but you will not lose weight unless you burn more calories than you consume. That is the Secret. Find the right combination of exercise and nutrition that works for you. Remember, losing weight doesn't happen overnight but if you lose just one pound a week, in a year, you could lose fifty pounds! Just find the right programs and commit to them.
