Today 70% of the United States population is overweight, just about everyone is looking for methods to lose weight. No matter if it's exercise or diet everyone is trying to reach their weight loss goal. For this reason the number of diet methods, weight loss tips, products and programs to help us lose weight are never exhausted, and we are always trying a new one.
Why trying? Because we all know most of the programs and new tips are crap.
Articles, websites, books and methods all trying to teach us how to get rid of fat and lose weight, so many in fact that we start ignoring them. Before we realize it another week, month or year goes by and we still don't reach our weight loss goal. I'm guilty of saying this. How about you? If one more crappy diet that doesn't work is put out there for us; I'm throwing every one of the BS plans and methods I've gathered over the years in the fireplace and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows', at least I'll get some fun out of them. Are you
tired of the poor weight loss methods and crappy plans for a diet to lose weight so you can sing Happy Trails to You? Do I have a stamp on my forehead that say's stupid?
Stated plainly without BS; to lose weight and reach your weight loss goal you must pay attention to your diet. Count your calorie intake and use the correct methods to increase your exercise routine and make your metabolic rate increase. I'll do my best to make this all clear to you here in this article.
To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories and increase the amount of physical activities or exercise you do. No diet or new fad methods will work better for you than just counting calories. I know that protein, carbohydrates and fat you absorb all come from the different types of food and supplement's you eat. Exercise is a very big part of the formula to lose weight, and you need to pay attention to all of those other factors, but if you don't count the calories you eat, you're really just wasting your time trying to reach your weight loss goal. You must create a deficit of calories between what you basal metabolic function and physical activities use, and the amount of calories you eat.
To put it into more complicated terms. It is necessary to create a deficit in calorie intake between what your basal metabolic rate needs for the ordinary function of your body and you use in your normal daily routine. The less active you are, the greater the need is for you to eat less or fewer calories. The opposite is true also, the more active and physical you are the more calories you can eat and maintain your weight. The fact is your body's metabolism or
metabolic rate is very consistent, because it uses the calories it needs to pump your heart and move your blood, build or repair cells and maintain your muscle mass and tissue at about or near the same rate on a regular basis. It takes less energy to maintain fat than it does for muscle. So the more muscular and active you are the more you can afford to eat and still maintain your weight loss goal. When you eat the same amount of calories your bodies basal metabolic rate uses, along with the calories needed for your physical activity, you maintain your weight at the level it's at. If you create a deficit in calories by diet or increased exercise and use more calories than you eat, you'll lose weight. Use fewer calories than you take in and your diet will fail, you won't reach your weight loss goal. When all is said, it's not what you eat but how much you eat
