Have you ever been on a diet? Yes? Let me guess: it didn't work for you.
There are plenty of diet recipes all over the internet today, and all of them seem not to work. Why? Actually, they all work, it's just that people think it is all about the diet they choose. But they are wrong. The purpose of a diet is not to lose weight, but to get used to eat properly (You do lose weight though, because you haven't eaten properly until then).
And if you don't get this, you will regain all your weight after the diet. More than 80 percent of people who have lost weight regain all of it, or more.
But don't get this wrong, you don't need to be on a diet all your life.
In this blog I will show you how to develop new eating habits and preferences (which is far more important than a diet), that will leave you feeling satisfied - winning the weight-loss battle once and for all.
Developing new eating habits isn't an easy task. All changes are difficult. But, just like anything else, you will get more used to it, and it will get easier with time. Good luck!
Speeding up your metabolism is the holy grail of weight loss. But how quick your body burns calories depends upon several things:
Strength training
The metabolic rate is higher in people with more muscle. Every pound of muscle uses 6 calories a day, while each pound of fat burns about 2 calories daily. Which is why men burn more calories than women.
If you gain a lot of weight, the body starts to store your fat in unusual places. When the regular areas to store fat are full, the fat is deposited into the organs and around the heart. If you've too much belly fat, you might be more likely to get high BP, dementia, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.

0 commentsIt's very difficult to adapt a diet to our daily life. A lot of diets do not work because they're too rigorous, radical, boring and/or severe. In addition, most people expect good results in just 1-2 weeks. Anxiety increases as a result of the efforts and sacrifices made and people become very fed up, and they give up.
0 commentsInactive lifestyle
Humans aren't designed to sit on a desk chair for 8 hours a day, staring at a PC screen. Anyways, that's what lots of us do. We've inactive desk jobs that do almost nothing to burn any calories. Those of us who can see the pluses and minuses try to compensate this by frequent and regular physical exercising, by going to fitness clubs and gyms, or by jogging early in the morning, in the evening or on the weekends, just to make your body sweat a little. However, a lot of people don't practice any sort of physical activity. Apart from burning calories from being active, a considerable number of people don't stimulate their muscles anyhow.
