Top 4 Ways on How to Lose Weight, the BASIC Formula (LWF)....
Every diet (which truly is defined by what a person eats over 24 hrs) has the basic principle of creating a caloric deficiency for the body to lose weight. If the body burns 3,500 calories (example: negative 500 calories a day over a week (7 days)) it will consume 1 lb of FAT. The formula of creating negative daily calories can be accomplished thousands of ways....
Their is no RIGHT way, but the practices that work for you to create a new way of life. Documentation (keeping a food log or journal) can be effective, but not to a person who doesn’t document anything well. Just as is a smart phone app to a person who doesn’t use their phone in that smart way (LOL) might not have the success others who habitually are on those smart devices will. Always start with existing habits to modify, change slowly and methodically with what you can personally handle, its your life.
The main reason I am writing this blog is to put out quality info on various topics that relate to a human's health, basically covering the four parts (Physical, mental, emotional, and social). The focus today is to touch on the physical side, which is the part that most people easily associate with health. Seeking a wellness professional can be supportive, but everything is always up to you.
No matter where your starting point is with your life age or physical condition of the body. Anything is possible if you believe and can see the change you want to be. These basic ideas are the first steps to identify healthy habits to build a foundation for a healthy lifestyle. Through this process of change it will not only be challenging, but educational as well.
Here is the top 4 ways to start maintaining a healthy lifestyle with your ideal body weight.
1. How much sleep do you get each night out of seven days? To maintain an ideal body weight an adult should accomplish at least 7 hours each night.....SLEEP is a vital variable to maintaining & achieving an ideal body weight.
2. Start a food journal with writing down EVERYTHING (if thats your thing) you eat over 7 days A specific focus on food consumption (diet is anything a person eats) with looking into how many calories each day, while identifying Protein, Carbs, Fats in grams for each category. Drink WATER, you cannot consume to much of this!!!!! Create small changes each week as to not overwhelm yourself with what to do. The idea is to live and be more conscious of what we are putting into our bodies based on ingredients.
3. Physical activity is a MUST for everyone. The idea is to balance your movements into something you enjoy participating in, basically the rule is to enjoy what you are doing. Specifics like time on task, intensity level, duration and component of fitness are important variables, but keep your movement diverse. Consistent repetitive motion or same style exercise over and over not only can be boring, but slows down results and the body easily adapts to the same old thing.
4. Set a goal that is both reasonable and specific (results can be measured). Actually write it down and check daily what have you done to accomplish it. With YOUR goal in your face every day it is a friendly reminder of creating the NEW you through NEW healthy lifestyle choices. For body weight their is no quick fixes, truly the solution is a lifestyle that supports as much movement as possible. Making daily choices that have positive outcomes will continue the habits necessary to live well.
