Get in Great Shape - What It Really Takes

[ad_1]

Commercials bombard you with promises you can easily get in great shape. Supposedly those beautiful people used an ab machine for 10 minutes, three times a week and now, they look fabulous. Or, skimming past the checkout line, you notice magazine headlines: Eat what you love and lose. Walk your way to a trim you. Or, lose 30 pounds in 30 days.

It's time to be logical and realistic with yourself. How many thousands of meals did it take you to put on all those unwanted pounds? It took years of poor nutrition and exercise habits to get out of shape. The weight will not just suddenly come off with some hyped-up product or 10 minutes of exercise!

Stop looking for weight loss shortcuts. Accept that getting in shape requires effort and knowledge.

The solution to achieving a fabulous physique requires excellent diet and physical activity lifestyle habits. Do not waste one more moment looking into those appealing diet pills, tummy crunchers, meal replacement bars, or fat burners.

There is a lot of bogus information. For example, it does not work to overeat every single weekend. You spend all week just burning off your weekend calories. Many people at the health club workout religiously yet they never lose weight simply because they overeat every single weekend.

You may falsely believe you can eat whatever you want because you exercise. That is wishful thinking. Working out is not enough to lose those unwanted pounds.

Weight loss requires a caloric deficit. Even if you exercise, you still need to count how many calories you consume daily. Is this popular advice? No! But, do you want popular advice or effective advice?

Getting in great shape requires knowledge, physical activity, plus good eating habits. Once you get the weight off, you need to continue your high level of physical activity plus eat well for the rest of your life.

Decide that you are seriously ready to work at weight loss. You are tired of being fat, depressed, discouraged, angry, and letting food and laziness control your entire life.

Learn from someone who understands the diet lies. When I believed the weight loss lies, I lost NO weight!

It is time to get serious about change. What are you waiting for? Fitness IS within your grasp. Take that first step!
