The Craziest Weight Loss Advice

Do this. Do that. Don't do this. Don't do that. Everywhere you look there is countless information and tips on how to drop those unwanted pounds. Save your time and money. Read on. Some people have been advised to run countless hours on a treadmill, some have been coerced to spending hundreds of dollars on the latest unproven weight loss fad, or worst, rubbing their midsection with some witchcraft cream and wrapping it in saran wrap. Lets not forget the fat teas and hormone shots. You ever notice how some people at the gym spend hours and hours over the years on the treadmill, elliptical, or stair master and they still look the same. How about the people who participates in a some crazy weight loss gimmick that requires the participant to take multiple pills, drink chalky tasting shakes, and eat an unhealthy, unsafe low amount of calories. Can you say unnecessary and unsustainable. Healthy, sustainable weight loss has nothing to do with dangerous concoctions or exercising until you're half dead. I didn't think the weight loss advice could get any dumber until I regularly heard that " you shouldn't eat after 7pm". Wait, what! Why not? I was informed that it's "because what ever you eat will turn into fat while you're asleep." So, if you eat your dinner at 6:50 pm then it won't turn into fat? Look, let's keep this real simple. It doesn't matter what time of the day or night you eat your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks. In general, weight loss comes down to the total amount of calories consumed versus the total amount of calories that are expended. It's like this, if you consistently eat more calories in a day than your body needs then you will gain weight. On the other hand, if you eat less calories in a day than what your body needs then you will eventually lose weight. It doesn't matter if the calories come from protein, carbohydrates, or fats if the body is fed more calories past its daily maintenance (to maintain the current body weight) allowance the excess will be converted to fat. This includes fast foods, fruits and vegetables, liquids, meal prepped, etc. The rule still applies. Now, during your weight loss, you body composition will be determined by the amount of daily calories you receive from each macro-nutrient (protein, carbs, and fats) in addition to your exercise program. So depending on your health and fitness goals, choose your calories wisely. I summary, everyone who exercises does it for their own personal reasons, so I'm only addressing the situations where weight loss is the focus. There are many individuals who have medical issues that makes losing weight extremely difficult. Even then, their journey to weight reduction must go down the unavoidable roads of exercise and calorie control. My goal is to help someone save money and time from falling for these scientifically unproven products and methods. Avoid the frustration of losing weight by finding out your daily maintenance calories (click link below) then start eating less than that amount each day. Couple this with a well rounded exercise program that includes weight training, cardio, and flexibility exercise then patiently watch the your body change it's composition. www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html FINISH STRONG FITNESS
