Long term success at anything requires you first have the right approach and it’s no different when managing your weight. If you are having trouble keeping weight off after you’ve worked diligently to take it off then most likely you are not adhering to the basic principles that help you to shed fat and keep it off forever.
There are 5 basic principles that work with you to keep you in shape and stop you from gaining your weight back and these principles are:
Metabolism – You need to be aware that your metabolic rate shifts and changes…it is not cast in stone. Just by taking the appropriate actions you can elevate your metabolism and increase the rate at which you burn fat.
Strength Training – There is no other exercise that compares with strength training and the effect that it has on your metabolic rate. Fat cells merely store fat whereas muscles cells burn fat on a continuous basis. By incorporating strength training into your exercise routines, you will build important muscle tissue which in turn increases your base metabolic rate and helps you to burn fat faster even while you are sleeping or lounging in front of the TV. As you continue to maintain and build strength, your body becomes an efficient fat burning machine. In other words, more muscle means you will have less fat in the long-term which in turn means the lean muscle underneath your skin becomes more visible giving you a firm, lean, well-toned and healthy body.
Chemically and Toxins – Many people are simply not aware that toxins in the foods they are consuming interfere and mess up your body’s metabolic rate. Your body tries to lock away these poisonous toxins in your body fat so until you cleanse your body of all the toxins that have taken residence, your fat will be extremely difficult to get rid of.
Clean Eating – Clean eating has become a healthy trend and for good reason. It is clean eating that is going to rid your body of the toxins that are holding onto your fat so that means ridding your cupboards of all processed foods as much as possible and replacing those foods with foods that are in their total natural state or very close to it. In other words, begin enjoying a nice piece of raw fruit such as an apple and forego all the apple pies and apple juices.
Calorie Intake – Without achieving a calories deficit it will be impossible to lose weight. The super-sized meals and buffets that are offered are killers because they allow us to overeat. You need your calories intake to be short by at least 100-200 calories. But, it’s not a one-time thing. In order to maintain your calories deficit you need to educate yourself about food portioning at least when you first start out.
Bottom line is this… You need to be adjusting and changing your approach to eating and you do this one meal at a time. Your goal should always be to lose body fat without sacrificing muscle tissue or your health in the process. If you incorporate these 5 principles into your daily lifestyle, you will be able to keep the weight off, attain your desired body weight goal and reap all the health benefits that come with it.
