Weight Loss

I have a good piece of news for you.  There are about 12 fabulous rules of a great fitness program. The more of these rules you are able to incorporate into your life, the better is your fitness program. The better your fitness program the more weight you lose.

Fitness Program Rule 1. You should never skip you breakfast. It is always better to have a protein rich breakfast. By skipping breakfast, you are sending the wrong signals to your body. The body slows down its metabolism as a protective measure. Carbohydrate rich food ignites your mechanism.

Fitness Program Rule 2. You should spread the amount of food throughout the day. Eat the heaviest meal at the start of the day. You should have a substantial breakfast, moderate lunch and light dinner as demonstrated by recent research. You should have your dinner at least four hours before you retire for the night.

Fitness Program Rule 3. You should also have at least 1200 calories a day. This is because your basal metabolism will slow down if you have less than 1200 calories per day.

Fitness Program Rule 4. You should also go for a snack at regular interval. It will help you in coping with intermittent hunger pangs. You will not have control over your food items if you become too hungry. You can ignite your metabolism through complex carbohydrates like grains, fruits and vegetables.

Fitness Program Rule 5. Having food rich in complex carbohydrates and reducing food containing animal fat in your meal will boost your metabolism as carbohydrates have fewer calories in the same amount than fat.

Fitness Program Rule 6. Regular aerobic exercises such as jogging, walking, cycling, swimming and aerobic dancing are a great way to burn the extra calories.  Once-a-week or twice-a-week intense workouts are not beneficial. Regular workouts on a daily basis help you to increase your body’s metabolism.

Fitness Program Rule 7. At lunchtime or in the evening, take a quick 10 to 15 minutes stroll to increase your metabolism rate apart from your regular aerobic exercises.

Fitness Program Rule 8. Weight training for three days per week helps to tone up your muscles and increases your metabolism rate. Just go for it.

Fitness Program Rule 9. Always try to remain active. You will always get the opportunity if you are on the lookout. Always walk instead of taking the car if your destination is not too far. Do not look for the nearest place to park your car. Park as far away as is reasonably possible.

Fitness Program Rule 10. Stay away from alcohol. Alcohol stimulates your appetite and can slow down your metabolism.

Fitness Program Rule 11. You should drink as much as you can. Drink about 60 ounces of water per day. Basal metabolism requires plenty of water to function properly. Drink at a constant interval throughout the day.

Fitness Program Rule 12. The three P's...powders, pills, and potions should always be avoided. Remember quick fix ways to lose weight are illusionary.
