Food To Be Taking
There are two common types of food we consume, that is protein and carbohydrates. Now let’s analyze how the calories of these foods are burned out.
25-30 percent of calories in 1 gram of protein are burned out indigestion, whereas 6-8 percent of calories in 1 gram of carbohydrate are burned out during digestion. Therefore, do the math; well I think eating more protein than carbs is the answer!
Always watch out and avoid foods with ‘high fructose corn syrup’ in the ingredients. It has been established that the consumption of this substitute to sugar, which is used in soda and some foods have dramatically increased in the U.S, since 1971, thereby resulting in an increase in obesity.
Exercises
In case you don’t know, cardio has been found to be more effective in losing fat. However, there are other ways to burn out fat, such as getting active in physical work like using the push mower, even if you don’t like doing it…
When you work out, do it while standing instead of sitting. ‘You will expend up to 30% more calories,’ so says Joe Stankowski. Do more upper body supersets, than you would for the lower body.
When on Cross trainer, try to use it while your eyes are closed and hands off the handle, by so doing, your core muscles will work more by trying to keep you balanced on the cross trainer, as a result, you will burn more fat. You must be careful when doing this so that you don’t lose balance.
McGarr says- You should lift weight before doing cardio(running) because the same speed and intensity will cause a greater effect than when you run before lifting.
Try to be a more outdoor person, than spending a whole lot of time in front of the TV.
Psychology
I wrote an article on ‘Psychology And Weight loss‘. You need to condition your mind at all times, to believe that losing fat is attainable. If the mind is not prepared, you will hardly achieve anything in losing weight. So, to positively keep your mind, you ought to be engaging in recreational activities that would make you be more fierce in your decision to lose belly fat.
Watch movies such as; Rocky (For the Gym), Chariots Of Fire (For running), Without Limits (For running), or better still, you can always go for ‘Bodybuilding encyclopedia‘ Authored by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Breaking free from emotional eating, if you are inclined to read books.
Challenge Yourself
Always try to outdo yourself from the last time you worked out. When running, try to run farther than you did previously, by doing so, you will be burning more calories each time you work out.
Sleep Enough
I can’t say this enough! Look at what happens when you don’t sleep well. Ordinarily, not sleeping well can result in tiredness, and tiredness can make the body produce more ghrelin, which unfortunately induces craving, for not just any food, but for sugar and other fat-building foods! Sleeping at least 7 hours at night is one of the best ways to keep your body in shape.
Take More Of Vitamin C
Taking more vitamin c will help to balance the cortisol level that happens to go up when under stress. When cortisol level is affected, it will cause insulin sensitivity, which is responsible for belly fat. Vitamin c is a very good antidote for stress from work, bad day, or even bad food. You could get more vitamin c from Kale, Kiwi fruits, etc.
Conclusion
A healthy lifestyle has always been the solution to healthy living. When you try to adjust to these guidelines, you will begin to see results much faster than you think. However, I must note that it is ‘determination’ that will get you there. Believing in yourself, believing you can make ‘you’ better. It is never too late!
