Weight Loss Diet Plan

Our attitude toward weight loss exercise
Most of us hate exercise for weight loss. Why? Because we don't take it seriously. As a result, we don't apply our minds to it. We don't make it interesting. We don't put much into it. We don't spend any money on it. We don't get into it. So what happens? We give up and watch TV.

Weight loss exercise does help but it doesn't make us lose weight
Some of us believe that weight loss exercise will make us lose weight. We rush off in our brand new trainers and try to weight loss exercise to lose weight. What happens? Do we lose weight? No. So we give up in disgust.

Weight loss exercise guidelines
There are 4 basic rules:

Do weight loss exercise regularly
Make weight loss exercise fit your lifestyle
If you are unfit and/or overweight, visit your doctor for a quick check up before beginning weight loss exercise.

Stage One

This can last for 2-4 weeks

Pretend you are an unfit lump.
Forget all about "weight loss exercise" and "fitness" and weight loss.
All you have to do is stop relying totally on labor-saving devices. That's all. (i.e. Don't rely on your car so much, don't always use the escalator, don't always use the elevator.)
While you're getting used to weight loss exercise, check out your neighborhood for possible walks, or a place to weight loss exercise, or a swimming pool.

Persuade a friend/partner to do weight loss exercise with you.
When you feel ready for more, proceed to Stage Three.

This can last for 1-2 months

Pretend you are an unfit lump who is getting fitter.
Increase your daily weight loss exercise to 20-30 minutes.
Update your weight loss exercise diary. Keep a note of your progress and any failures.
Don't be tempted to do twice the weight loss exercise one day and none the next.

Weight loss exercise guidelines for those who want to lose weight
Some of you may only be interested in exercising in order to lose weight. If so, here's some advice.

No weight loss exercise can help you to reduce fat. Weight loss exercise builds muscles or reshapes your body. It does not eliminate fat.
If you weight loss exercise while dieting, you will reduce the 'plateau' effect of dieting and thus maintain your rate of weight loss. But only for as long as you keep exercising.
If you don't follow a sensible weight loss diet plan while exercising, you will not lose weight.
Although aerobic weight loss exercise is extremely healthy, it does not help the average person to lose weight, unless combined with a weight loss diet plan.
Although abdominal weight loss exercise is great for strengthening and tightening the abdominal muscles, it does not help the average person to lose weight, unless combined with a weight loss diet plan.

Note: The best weight loss exercise diet plan for weight loss is a combination of aerobic and weight-training weight loss exercise. This type of weight loss exercise diet plan burns extra calories AND helps you increase your muscle/fat ratio which will raise your metabolism to make it easier to lose weight and keep it off.

The Moral?
If you want to lose weight, you must weight loss exercise exercise AND have a proper diet plan.
