Ever thought about losing weight fast? Wondered what the secret was when you see fitness influencers online or on T.V? Maybe you wondered what the movie stars were doing or taking that the general public can't get their hands on? These are questions I asked myself. Hello, my nickname is Gigio (G). I am an individual who suffered from obesity, 260 pounds, along with all the other factors that came along with it such as depression and anxiety. Before we get into all the juicy stuff, lets first talk basics.
First, how would you define obesity? I would say, obesity is having, a more than normal, amount of body fat. Normal depends on the individual and what the body mass index indicates to us and what doctors use as guidance. Obesity, in my experience, causes depression, anxiety, high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, and many other health problems, from a holistic view. Excessive eating can come from trauma, stress, antidepressants, and being bored. Though there are many other factors, obesity has become a norm in the Unites States, in my opinion.
Now, that we have an idea of what obesity is and what it can contribute to, let's see how to lose it. I hate to break the news to you, but there is no fast way to do this properly and keep it off for a long period of time. How does losing weight work? In simple terms, exercising, eating healthy, and a caloric deficit. In slightly more detail, you must first know what your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is for maintaining your weight. Then, consume 500 calories less each day to burn 1 pound off your weight each week. On a last note, the more weight you lose, the more you have to adjust your calorie intake. Hard to understand, you can schedule a nutritional session at www.internalfortitudefitnessandnutrition.com for more education. The coaches here can help you understand and are friendly. Losing weight requires work, bottom line, more than any supplement can help.
Next, you're probably asking how I start, or I am not looking forward to eating salads during my weight loss journey. Well, in order to start, make sure you have a plan and a good support system, though not required, will help more if you do. This general checklist can help your beginning:
Why do I want to lose my weight loss? (Feel better physically and mentally, 6 pack abs, look better, reverse health issues, or my doctor told me to).
Who can I hold me accountable?
What eating habits can I change right now and what will change over time?
What times slots can I mandate each day for self-care and exercise?
What do I need to eat to make weightloss fun and long lasting.
Whats in my house now that I can live without that is not healthy.
A date to start.
To succeed in your weight loss, you need to keep it fun. Change up your foods, and experiment with exercising. Movement is your best friend. These tips will help you stay consistent and not give up.
Finally, once you lose your weight, what do you do? You maintain your weight. You no longer need to eat 500 calories less day but eat 500 calories more to maintain your weight. Sound more appealing right? Yes, which is a reason why once you reach your goal, it can be more sustainable. Who doesn't love to eat a little bit more? I know I love to eat a little more that my dieting phase. If you change your mind set, you can view it as a permanent incentive for reaching your weight loss goals.
In conclusion, there is no fast way to lose weight, but what you learned in this simple blog is to just start with a plan. Losing weight requires mental strength, discipline, and proper exercising. Understanding your calories and how much you need to eat is a good start. Get up, get moving, and start reaching your goals. What are you waiting for?
