Loss And Fitness
The world of weight loss and fitness is certainly
vast, and the
American consumer can absolutely get lost in the
thousands of
easy effortless and ostly useless ads if not
careful. With my
books and research I want to clear the air about
the various
myths and false statements regarding our health
and fitness that
have clearly muddied the waters for many
Americans.
What I want to stress in particular is that there
is no magic
answer, potion, or diet pill that is going to make
everything
better. The ad on TV where the pretty lady says
"it's easy.
you'll love it", is appealing to our need for
instant
gratification with no effort. We don't want to
hear the facts so
we continue to look for the instant solution. If
there was a
magic diet pill, or diet plan, over 60% of
Americans wouldn't be
overweight, in spite of spending over $35 billion
annually on
diet products.
Achieving weight loss and fitness requires a
commitment on your
part to strive for a healthier you. What you will
get in return
for all of your hard work and dedication is a fit
body, a
renewed clarity of mind, better quality sleep, and
perhaps even
a pronounced increase in your libido. I have found
that through
the positive changes I have made in my own life
regarding weight
loss and fitness, all areas of my life are
exponentially better.
I wake up energized, I feel excited about my day
and my
interactions with people, my body feels strong and
capable, and
my entire outlook on life has improved
significantly.
The Weight Loss and Fitness Commitment show that
claims that
teach you shortcuts on how to drop 30 pounds in 30
days are
improbable at best and unhelathy at worst.
That claim is water loss pure and simple. You do
the math: 1
pound of fat = about 3500 calories 30 pounds of
fat = 105,000
calories. To lose 30 pounds of fat in 30 days you
would need to
reduce caloric intake by about 105,000 calories or
about 3500
per day. If you are eating 3,000 calories a day
now, that might
be tough. OK you say I'll exercise it off. 1 hour
on a
stationary bicycle running at an average over 20
miles an hour
burns about 400 calories. Meaning to burn 3,500
calories a day
on the bike, you'd need to ride it for about 9
hours.
If you are looking for a quick fix, you will
continue to be
frustrated about health and fitness.
However, if you are tired of feeling fatigued and
know for sure
that you are ready to make a solid commitment to
your own health
and mind, Living to Be Younger can act as a guide.
It is my
hope that you will read each page with an open
mind and a
willingness to make some changes that will enable
you to break
out of your rut.
First, lose the idea that there is a magic diet
pill or
supplement that will transform your body to a
svelte shape.
Losing weight requires that you expend more
calories than you
ingest—plain and simple. This means that you
must get up and
moving at least three to five days per week, for
at least 30
minutes each session. If you were considerably
overweight, it
would be ideal to aim for at least five workout
sessions per
week. Always consult with your physician before
embarking on
any new exercise plan. Second, take a good look at
what you are
putting in your mouth on a daily basis. Aim for
natural foods
that are high in vitamins and minerals, fiber,
protein, and
complex carbohydrates. Limit your intake of foods
high in
saturated fats, sodium, refined sugars, and
preservatives. When
you take the Living to Be Younger Challenge, you
will find that
your zest for life isn't gone—it's just been
hiding.
Congratulations on taking this first step towards
a healthier
you.
