Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss – Part III

November 16th 2011 17:52

Hi All. Hope you are enjoying this series of articles especially on fat loss. Till now we have seen the importance of exercise, weightlifting and a diet with fewer high-fat items in it. And I am sure you all will agree with me when I say that these three things, done religiously will ensure that you lose those extra pounds from your body and will also ensure that you stay fit and fresh.

Being active, fresh and fit is the notion of the nation now! When I say, ‘Notion of the Nation,’ what I mean is that everyone around you and me are trying to be fit and fresh. This is also required to have a healthy mind and body. A fresh mind would surely be more innovative, descriptive and creative. And exercising regularly coupled with a diet with low fat containing food items will keep you fresh, fit and active all through the day.

So, we are now exercising regularly, at least about 30 minutes a day; and we have incorporated weightlifting also in that 30 minutes. Then, we have reduced our intake of high-fat food items. So, what next? If we stop eating high-fat items, that we love so much, what should we be eating now?

Let me tell you, there is a huge list of items that we can take. I know most of the children will shrink their noses when I take the names of low-fat and ideal food items that we should eat; but, it is very important that we maintain a low fat diet while we exercise to cause a fast weight loss. We should eat lots of green vegetables like salad greens, spinach, cucumber, broccoli, beans, tomatoes, carrots and peppers and similar kind of other vegetables. These food items are not only low in calories but also they can help us control our craving for high-fat food items.

You might be thinking how these vegetables would prevent you from eating those high-fat food items that you love so much, right? Green vegetables are one of the most important sources of low-fat nutrition that our body would need. When taken at regular intervals, they will not let your stomach get empty and you may not feel like eating anything else.

That was a secret, wasn’t it? Well, try incorporating these food items more into your daily diet and I am sure this will help you losing weight much faster and in a healthy way.

Cheers!

Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss – Part II

November 14th 2011 17:15

Hello Mate! I am back with the second part of holistic approach to fast and healthy weight loss. In the previous post we have covered the part one of the series and in that we have talked about exercise. We have seen how a regular exercise regime and a healthy diet would help to keep you fit and fine. Today, we will talk about some food habits of ours which we need to get rid of to affect a fast weight loss.

Well, before getting into today’s topic let me add something to the first post. Recently, I came to know that weightlifting helps in losing weight too. So, in addition to cardio I would recommend you to incorporate some kind of weightlifting into your regular exercise routine. It need not be weightlifting as those huge guys going to the Olympics do, but a simple mechanism, like a chair or a flower vase or a bucket of water can do the necessary. You know the secret, how it works? Well, even I did not know until yesterday, when my friend talked about it. When we perform weightlifting regularly, we would build us some kind of muscle – however small it may be. These muscles that we build up doing weightlifting will help to burn the extra calories that we intake even when we are not actively doing something physical. That means, even when we are sleeping or just lazing around in our couch, the calories get burnt up, although slowly. Hence, we need to incorporate weightlifting in our workout regime. However, I would request not to lift heavy items and start lifting smaller buckets of water initially and as days pass, you can increase the weight or size of the bucket. This will allow your body to settle down with higher weights slowly but surely. Try this out and let me know if that helps. I am sure it will.

Our food habits decide the amount of extra fat that the body accumulates. Mathematicians reading this post will understand if I say that the amount of food items rich in fat that you eat is directly proportional to the amount of excess weight that your body develops – the more you eat such high-fat food items, like burgers, fries and pastries the more is the probability of you being fat. Hence, looking at a fat person you cannot say that he has become fat only due to lack of exercise. He might have grown into a couch potato and that has affected his body weight, but you should also check his food habits before you can understand the real reason behind it.

Change of food habits is tough

So, along with exercise, we need to ensure that we change our food habits if they consist of high-fat items. And when we suddenly change our habits, the body would not take it that easily. One might need weeks or even months to settle down with a new low-fat diet if he has been eating lot of fat-rich food for a long time. Hence, my advice will be to know your food habits and start reducing the content of high-fat items in your diet slowly.

Cheers!

Holistic Approach to Fast & Healthy Weight Loss - Part I

November 12th 2011 16:41

Weight loss is a major concern in today’s world and we are forced to write more on this topic. As I mentioned in the previous post, the readers of Health and Fitness often ask me to publish more on weight loss programs, fat loss techniques and methods to impact fast weight loss. So, let us look at a holistic approach towards achieving weight loss. This post might get too long, as I need to cover so many things to do justice with this post. However, if it goes beyond a certain length, I will try to segregate the post and publish them in parts. Hope this would be just fine for you.

To obtain a fit and healthy body and get rid of all the excess fat, we need to adhere to a holistic approach towards weight loss. In the present world, we need to also ensure that the methods or techniques that we take are also fast and healthy and have no side effects. I will discuss about a long list of things that I know and I am sure of that effects fast and healthy weight loss. Let’s see what are the various things that we need to do to get rid of the fat stored in our body and maintain the body to keep it fit and in shape.

The very first thing that comes to my mind when I think about losing weight is exercise. Exercise, coupled with a good diet would do wonders. Many of my friends and relatives who are fit and fine have only followed these two things religiously. They would not go for anything else to keep themselves fit. Trust me, a good exercise regime along with a healthy diet having fewer saturated fat content and containing less calories can keep you healthy, wealthy and fit.

Many people keep their body fit doing mere cardiovascular exercises, such as jogging, swimming, simple and slow walking or even cycling for about 5 or 6 days a week. These exercises are great ways of burning the calories we accumulate from our daily diet. Apart from the number of days you exercise, it also depends on the duration that you perform these exercises. I would recommend trying and exercising for 30 minutes at least every day or breaking it up into smaller sessions – 3 sessions of 10 minute each over the course of the entire day would also do good to you and your body.

OK mate; let us stop here for this post. Until the next post, keep exercising and moving your body around. That helps immensely. We will talk about ways of keeping yourself fit and also about diets in particular in the coming posts. I am sure one will get benefited if he or she follows the various suggestions in the coming posts. So, stay tuned for more. You will not be disappointed.

Cheers!

Keep laughing

April 26th 2011 21:15

Laughter by far, is the best treatment, most easily doable exercise, freely available and most remarkable medicine which did not have to be invented by anyone. It gives us pleasure and a feeling of accomplishment and achievement and cheek by jowl, it provides exercise to the whole body.

Probably our forefathers tickled each other or saw a monkey performing acrobats and laughed the first laugh, we do not know. But more than the knowledge of the inception of laughter, it is important to laugh. They knew about the good qualities of a good laughter and hence, they preached us all

Laughter is the best medicine

April 6th 2011 08:08

The present world has become too stressful and it needs an active and indomitable resolution to get out of stress. A mechanical life that starts with brushing in the morning and ends with brushing at night before sleep sees lot of ups and downs in a day. The office is a place where we get most stressed out. It is very important to release the stress we accumulate during the day.

An easier way to be stress free is to laugh. Laughter, as they say, is one of the best ways to get rid of any kind of stress and tension that all of us cultivate in this present form of our lives. A good laugh reduces stress and also generates good amount of healthy physical changes in the entire body
