The One Question That Must Always Be Asked For Weight Loss
Now when you are trying to lose weight there is something that you need to ask yourself before you actually begin. This question depends on what your goal really is. Is your goal weight gain or weight loss? Answering these questions is of paramount importance, because this answer will tell you what methods you need to follow to get to your goal.
500 calories can be the difference in weight loss and weight gain. 500 calories above your activity level and BMR or 500 calories below your BMR and activity rate can make all the difference in the world. A body builder stuffs himself or herself to make sure that they hit the 500 calorie excess that they need. This gives them the caloric supply to build the giant muscles they need to win competitions.
When you are going for weight loss, you need to ask yourself what you are doing in the first place. If you are just doing the weight loss, you can just as easily diet down doing a negative 500 calories based on BMR (which is too in-depth to go into right now) and activity level. However, generally you want to get into that 500 calorie range.
When you have your goal in mind that then sets the stage for what foods are best to eat for that day. Honestly, those foods are going to vary from day to day. People usually try fad methods in food selection. For example, many people have heard of the phenomenon of negative calories. This means that when someone consumes a food it actually costs them more digesting it than what it gives them. Nevertheless, there is not a magic bullet. You just need to stick to your plan for weight loss. This will keep you on the right path to your goal.
Journaling is the backbone of any good weight loss program. This journaling will tell you exactly what you're doing wrong with your diet now, and how to fix it. This is definitely the first place to start when you're trying to lose weight.
I saw a TV show about a woman who was nearly a ton in weight. In addition, this woman really did not know how much she was eating and she was actually eating too little actually I should say. When you do not ingest enough food (or calories), your fat cells get bigger. This allows them to capture and store a greater amount of calories. Your body gets more efficient at running on less energy and it makes you fatter in the process. A dietician came in and made sure she was eating to the right level for her. However, this was still a very low calorie diet. She lost weight on this program even though she cheated a few times. She managed to lose I think 10 pounds in the first week as she was going through her -- she was trying to lose weight for gastric bypass surgery but she needed to journal. I have to tell you that if you are serious about losing weight, then you are serious about journaling. Journaling is not an option. It is something you have to do.
So all those fad diets can be thrown out the door because they are mostly garbage anyway. They will not help you lose weight in the end. Worst of all, they might even be detrimental to your health. Weight loss really depends on your goal is. That goal will tell you how many calories you need to consume. You should always involve your doctor in your workouts. This will keep you healthy for the long run. They know you and your body and they can keep you out of trouble in the long run. They will help you navigate your weight loss with your food journal and your workout journal. This only can benefit you over your lifetime. All this really depends on what your goal actually is. If you can keep that in mind, then you will be highly successful in your weight loss journey.
