Weight Loss,101

You’ve heard them, every one is keen to give you some simple tips for weight loss or are they just weight loss myths every one believes but have no foundation in truth what so ever you know the kind of things : weight training makes women look like a body builders, exercising on an empty stomach burns more calories, and on an on….

While some fitness myths seem to make sense on the surface, with a closer look many of these stories are simply made up and have been passed on with little or no basis in reality. Today I want to look at just five of the most common things I have been told when speaking to my clients the answers might suprse yo Let’s tackle five of the most common myths and check out the real story behind them.

1. If It doesn’t hurt it isn’t working (No pain, no gain) – With out a doubt this is probably the most common myth out there. That is if you don’t feel pain when you exercise, you’re not doing it right.

The truth is this is total nonsense: exercise the right way should never be painful and professional fitness trainers recommend that you stop your workout at the first sign of pain.

The logic behind “no pain, no gain” makes the assumpton that there is no such thing as a free lunch in other words you can’t expect good results without sacrificing something – twisted ideals at best, downright sadistic and painful at worst. Exercise should be something you enjoy or else you it won’t be very long before you become disillusioned and give up completely. While an intense workout may create some moderate discomfort initially at least , it should never get to the point where you are in actual pain. STOP FIRST!

Here are some of my favorite eating habits to help you lose the pounds especially at those times when you are vulnerable and likely to be tempted to eat the wrong kind of foods. By adopting good eating habits you will increase you chances of losing weight without having to sacrifice your diet plan and still enjoying yourself.

1. Morning Coffee time: - If you tempted to pop in to Starbucks or your favorite coffee house you might be tempted to indulge in a pastry or maybe croissant which could be as much as 200- or even 300 calories. The coffee is fine provided you make it a skinny one or an expreso depending on your tastes and accompany it with low fat cereal bar or a piece of fruit.

2. Afternoon Tea or Coffee Break:- Tea or Coffee and cookies are the ideal afternoon snack guaranteed to pile on those pounds. Again the coffee or tea with skinny milk (or tea with a slice of lemon) is fine but instead of a plate cookies replace with a nice juicy apple or pear or even a banana or alternatively an oatcake or an oatmeal cookie (low fat is best) will make a healthy alternative.
