Have You Given Up on Weight Loss?
By Greg Landry, M.S. I receive several email messages every dayfrom people who have given up on weight loss.They are at wits end and they don’t knowwhat to do. They’ve “tried it all” and theybelieve it’s impossible for them to lose weight. Many of them have lost weight and gained itall back, and more. Some of them have struggled with losing weight all their lives and have never been successful with it. One lady from Alabama wrote to me last spring, “I have been trying to lose about sixty pounds for over 23 years. I quit! I’m resolved to the fact that I will be fat for the rest of my life” How saddening that comment is. but I’m happyto tell you this lady, with a littleguidance, is now 65 pounds lighter than shewas one year ago.. and she has some muscletone. Needless to say, she no longer believesthat she’ll be fat for the rest of her life.I tell you this simply to illustrate the factthat you don’t have to give up on weight loss.YOU can lose weight, but you have to be willing to do what it takes.. and here’s whatit takes! If we look at people who have been successfulat weight loss *and* maintaining that loss,a couple of things are very apparent. These twofactors are present in the lives of most ofthem. 1. They do some form of aerobic exercise 5 to7 days per week. These people aren’texercise wimps! They know how criticallyimportant this is to their weight loss/maintenance and they get out and do it! They average 45 minutes per day with therange being 30 to 90 minutes per day.This not only burns lots of calories,but, perhaps more importantly, it elevatestheir basal metabolic rate. 2. They do some type of weight training 2 to3 days per week. This has a tremendousaffect on basal metabolic rate andmuscle tone. Success at maintaining aweight loss is much higher in peoplewho have weight trained while they werelosing weight versus those who haven’t. Now, obviously, healthy eating habits are alsovery important. However, most of these people say that their exercise habits seem to dictatetheir eating habits.. meaning that if theycan be consistent with exercise, their eatinghabits seem to fall into place. I’ve had many clients tell me that their daily exercise puts them in a “healthy” frame ofmind and helps them to make better food choices.Bottom line; when they are exercising consistently, their eating habits are better.I firmly believe that a major factor in mostpeoples frustration with weight loss is thatthey haven’t been told the truth aboutexercise. You see, twenty minutes, three daysper week isn’t going to cut it for weightloss. If you’re serious about weight loss,then you have to get serious about exercise. -It’s all about changing your basal metabolismthrough exercise. -It’s about looking at exercise as a part of yourdaily routine, just like brushing your teeth. -It’s about viewing exercise as something you’redoing to get healthy and feel great! “If you *vigorously* pursue fitness and health, weight loss will happen”(tm) copyright 2007 by Greg Landry, M.S.
