If you have a weight problem, you know what I mean. At the beginning of each year, you resolve to lose weight. After a few weeks, or even days of following a starvation diet and a ridiculously punishing exercise regime, you give up. Or your resolve to diet weakens and you take one cookie, which leads to another and another until the entire bag is empty. Since you've broken that resolution, you give up trying altogether.
The way to go about it is to live a sensible lifestyle. Regular exercise at a pace you can take. Moderate diet with an allowance for treats to curb the sweet tooth, to avoid the deprivation-triggered binge. Most of all, you need to be motivated enough to make this your way of life. Without motivation, the best fitness plan, the best diet in the world, would be of no use.
So much effort. What for?
Besides looking good, losing weight to reach the ideal weight for your height has huge health benefits. Lower risk of disease and increased energy and a better mood lets you live life more fully.
Obesity related diseases
These are the common diseases related to obesity. Lose weight and you reduce your risk of getting these diseases.
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Prostrate cancer
- Colon cancer
- Heart attack
- Gallstones
- Gout
Make an effort to lose weight for your own health. An additional benefit is the way you'd look. Imagine being able to wear fashionable outfits in smaller sizes and look stunning. Instead of looking worse as time passes on, you look better with the weight you shed off progressively.
Imagine having the energy to really live life to the fullest. The aches and pains due to lugging around extra body weight, gradually vanishing. Isn't that worth setting aside an hour a day for exercise and eating moderately?
Important for exercise plan and meal plan. Watching your body shape up over the weeks would give you the motivation to stick to it. All allow you to burn the calories through walking, jogging or running every day whether it is sunny, rainy, or snowy outside.
That, plus the fact that the workouts are fun, should make it easier for you to make it part of your lifestyle.
