Put Together A Fat Loss Schedule
Posted by David Moore at Dec 14th, 2008 in Obesity
There are many fat loss plans for you to choose from. If you follow a good one well, it will probably work for you. Most of these programs are based around proper diet and exercise. The combination of what you eat, how much you eat and what type of exercise you do is what will determine how well your fat loss plan will go.
You have to cut back about 3500 calories to lose 1lb of fat, because 1lb of fat contains approximately that many calories (which is energy). That means that in a week’s time, if you cut 500 calories per day you can lose that one pound, theoretically.
This is a very hard diet to maintain for weeks and weeks, however, and is not proven to work. There are many other factors at work and you need to be able to target that fat for burning.
You can burn fat quicker if you combine a good diet with exercise. Including 30min-1hr of aerobic exercise daily will help you burn calories much faster. A good exercise routine should be one that targets fat loss - you should exercise at about 70% of your maximum exertion so that your body targets fat to burn.
Eating foods that naturally help you burn fat are also very helping in your fat loss plan. Green tea is known to have a weight loss effect, and you should also make sure you drink lots of water to keep your metabolism up.
Include fresh vegetables and fruits high in fibre and keep processed foods and sugars down to a minimum. You can create a great diet that allows you to eat all kinds of food you can enjoy, you just need to have a plan and stick with it. Eat more meals per day but smaller ones and your body will learn to stop storing fat.
You can have success with dieting and exercise but you have to commit to following the program properly. This means that you have to eat the foods that you are allowed and exercise daily.
The more intense your fat loss program the better the results will be, but you can find one of these healthy eating and exercise programs that is easy and fun to follow and if you follow this type of plan it will deliver some good results. Once you see those pounds start to drop it makes it very easy to continue on the right track.
