Natural Weight Loss Secret and 5 Exercize myths
Am I losing muscle mass?
Maybe a little, but it’s not un-healthy. According to WeightlossForAll.com, “It’s a scientifically proven fact that muscle proteins are broken down and used for energy during aerobic exercise. But don’t worry; you are constantly breaking down and re building muscle tissue anyway. This process is called “protein turnover.” Your body is constantly alternating back and forth between anabolic (building) and catabolic (breaking down) cycles.”
Am I starving myself?
No! I am eating everything I normally do, just a smaller amount of it.I have been counting my calorie intake for the day, to help me run portions. I have set a limit of 2000 calories per day, and so far I haven’t made it there. The most I have ate in one day is about 1800 calories. The first week was the roughest, but I was able to curb hunger pangs by drinking plenty of water.
Is losing more than 1lb a week un-healthy?
No! As per AnneCollins.com, you can lose approximately 3-4lbs a week and still be considered healthy. She goes on to say though, “Typically, only obese people are likely to be able to lose this amount of fat. By comparison, a woman of average weight (about 140 pounds) is likely to lose a maximum of about 1-1.5 pounds per week.”
Eat like a normal person should. Ever wonder why the serving sizes seem so small when you read the packaging? It’s because we to damned much! Those are normal sized portions that we should be eating! If you eat those small serving sizes you aren’t starving, you are eating the way you should be. Give it a try, and I guarantee you will see a difference.
Exercize Myths
1. Many so-called “health foods” are actually cleverly disguised junk foods that can actually stimulate you to gain more belly fat… so far the diet food marketing industry continues to lie to you so they can maximize their profits.
2. Abs exercises such as crunches, sit-ups, and abs machines are actually the LEAST helpful method of getting flat abs.
3. Tedious repetitive cardio exercise routines are NOT the best way to lose body fat and uncover that flat abs.
4. You DON’T need to waste your money on costly “extreme fat burner” pills or other bogus supplements.
5. Ab belts, ab-rockers, ab-loungers, and other infomercial ab-gimmicks… they’re all a full waste of your time and money. Despite the deceptive infomercials, the perfectly chiseled fitness models in the commercials did NOT get their perfect body by using that “ab contraption”… they got their perfect body through REAL workouts and REAL nutrition strategies.
