Wrong physical exercises
If your goal is to slim fast, then just a simple yoga or gym class is not enough to burn off the number of calories you want. Therefore, opting for heavier (always with guidance) and high metabolic impact training may be a more viable option. Try a Zumba class, swimming, bodybuilding or running.
Yoga is very good for stretching the bones and muscles, but is good for burning overall body fat, I don’t think so. To be able to combine it with other physical exercises will go a long way to determine if you will still lose weight or not.
Endurance training is one of the exercises I was telling you about that can help you burn fat. So that it doesn’t seem like you are putting all your eggs in one basket and still not getting the results. Try endurance exercise like running, jogging, skipping, just to name but a few.
Also, try lifting weights for your strength training. The amount of energy exhumed by lifting a 10kg of weight can attest to removing a huge amount of calories from your body.
Forget about diet or exercise
When the goal is to lose weight, just making changes in diet, or do physical activity every day, is not enough. To ensure that the weight-loss process succeeds, the idea is to fit the two changes into your daily life: eating right and exercising daily.
Most people would rather focus on either dieting or exercise manly hoping it will be enough to make them lose weight. Often times the people who are exercising don’t care about what they eat because of the belief that they can easily burn the excesses of anything in their system.
It’s no wonder why after trying so hard as an obese in the training ground; they still go home to consume the same type of food over again. Tomorrow they are checking the scales, wondering why they are not losing any pounds.
Do not eat breakfast in the morning
One of the biggest mistakes you can do while trying to lose weight is to skip your breakfast. If you are the type that hits the gym in the morning, you might just be losing your source of energy for the day. If you are dieting, you are worse off. By 12 pm your body metabolism is slowly dropping and you are no longer in control of all your senses.
This is the time sweetened juice and sugary drinks will find their way into your mouth, thereby adding more unwanted calories.
Fasting has a reputation as a slimming factor, but it is the opposite. By skipping breakfast, to try to reduce calories, your body instead of burning fat will burn less, and expose the muscle to greater wear.
Not only does fasting burn more muscle, it also reduces your metabolic rate for the whole day so you will be more likely to gain weight by eating the same way, or you will stagnate in the weight you have.
So make sure you have a good breakfast every morning to start your metabolism. But do not limit yourself to eating any food; especially eat protein, slow-metabolizing healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats, such as nuts. In case you want to sweeten your breakfast use honey.
You do not sleep enough
It is very important to get enough sleep when you are trying to lose weight. You need your energies 100% to exercise and sleep little will affect your results and the ability of your body to regulate appetite.
It is a reality that when you sleep little you eat more to compensate for that lack of energy. In addition, sleep well repairs your muscle fibers that will be of great help to keep your metabolism in full condition.
To get the right refreshment for your muscles and body needed for the next day work or exercise, you need enough sleep. There is a general belief that sleeping means you’re going add weight. While that maybe be true, it only reflects when you sleep all day with no amount of physical activity.
An ideal sleep should take 8-10 hours and the rest of the day can be effectively utilized. Sleep on its own burn enough calories in the body than watching television or sitting at a desk all day.
The only time proteins repair our tissue is when we sleep enough to allow them to carry out those functions. If you continuously disrupt your sleep pattern, don’t be surprised if you are not losing weight!
