Weight loss and Diet advice

Weight loss

Our most popular area dealing with weight loss and dieting advice.

The best piece of advice I can give to anyone wanting to lose weight or go on a diet, is to increase your exercise / activity levels and eat regular healthy meals.

Weight loss is simple, you simply need to use more calories each day than what you consume through food and fluids.

Its easy to put weight on, all you have to do is consume more calories than you expend. The answer to losing weight in the form of excess body fat, is also really really simple, you intake less calories in food and fluid then you expend through your daily calorie usage.

The biggest problem is that for most people they have put weight on over a number of years, simple for two main reasons, firstly that good tasting foods are all around and easy to eat and secondly lifestyle changes mean that most peoples lives have become less active.

Simple mathematics would equate to the fact, that if you have taken a number of months or years to slowly increase your body weight and increase your body fat percentage, you need to appreciate that this weight is not going to be safely removed for a friends wedding or summer holiday a few weeks away.

The truth is that in order to lose just 1lb of body fat, a deficit of 3,500 calories needs to be achieved.

If you're generally eating 2,500 calories a day, then aim to simply cut back by just 10 - 15%, anymore and your body will think about going into its starvation mode (avoid at all costs). The other side of the equation, is to look at increasing your calorie expenditure, if your body is using 2,500 calories a day, than chances are you haven't gained much weight lately, however if your only using 2,000 calories a day, then over just 1 week you could be close to increasing your bodyweight by 1lb.

Just a small amount of daily exercise, enough to increase your bodies calorific expenditure by 250 calories a day, combined with just a 10% reduction in your calorie intake from food, will already help you on the way to losing 1lb of body fat per week, with minimal change in your eating habits - slowly change both your eating habits and foods you eat and you will get quicker positive results.

If your aim is to lose 10lb in weight this week, then the information within this weight loss (fat) section is not for you, as this form of weight loss is detrimental to both your health and long term weight loss goals.

Losing weight is not the key to being healthy and happy. Would you want to lose 20lb in 4 weeks, but have stretch marks and saggy skin - bad breathe and poor skin tone.

Rapid weight loss should be avoided, just like most diets. Your bodies are designed to digest food, not take its calories in the form of shakes..

Unfortuanetly most dieters don't realise that the actual process of breaking down FOOD, especially proteins requires a large calorie exspenditure by the body, whereas drinking a protein shake requires very little.

With healthy eating and exercise you will create a well toned, healthier looking body - this process does require some effort and will-power but the end result is much better than any dieting plan can provide to you.
