5 Ways To Lose Weight Without Dieting
So i am going straight to the point today of listing out 5 ways to help you lose weight without having to put yourself through a rigorous diet that let’s face it not many people stick with.
To create a great healthy lifestyle for yourself and family, things need to be simplified so you reap the benefits of your efforts in losing weight and getting in shape.
Just remember that you want to have a good balance with your eating and exercising as each one is an important part of the process.
So here below are 5 ways to help you shed those pounds without dieting.
1. Eat Breakfast Everyday
One of the most important meals to get you set for the day ahead of you, and lot’s of people are avoiding this one.
2. Exercise For Fat Burning Mode
Short intervals with high intensity workouts will do the trick to keep you in fat burning mode.
3. Eat More Natural Produce
Start to add more natural produce into your life. For example Fish, Chicken, Broccoli, Nuts etc.
4. Keep An Eye On Portion Sizes
You will be surprised how lots of people over eat. Basically don’t keep piling in the food when you are stuffed!
5. Look Out For The Sugar Monster
Only because certain foods say low fat or have diet wrote on them doesn’t mean they are healthy. Most of them have tons of sugar or sweeteners added to them which will store as body fat once over indulged.
Feel free to add some more… i would love to hear them : )
Exercise & Healthy Eating Is Not Enough
A Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
If you want long lasting health and wellbeing because let’s face it, I’m sure that’s what we all would like. Just knowing the exercise along with knowing what to eat is not enough.
Let me tell you that it is a lot deeper than just the physical fitness, just like in martial arts.
Lots of people seem to think that martial arts is just about fighting and the physical techniques, which a part of it is of course, but when you really study it after some time like i have you find that a huge percentage of the training is mental.
Mental toughness is key, and if you do not develop in this you will struggle.
So this also goes for wanting to get in the best shape of your life too. You can’t just learn the exercises and know what to eat, as this is just a two legged stool. It will most defiantly fall over!
All of the amazing information we learn is useless unless we lead ourselves to put what we know into practice.
This is when the difficulties start with not taking action and doubting yourself comes into play which eventually leads to procrastinating big time!
So understand that to have real success with anything you do, the physical and the mindset must become as one.
The mindset is just another important piece of the puzzle.
Taking The Bull By The Horns
Doesn’t it make you wonder how some people are more successful in achieving a healthy mind and body than others?
I remember asking myself why this is.
Why do some give up only after a couple of months in wanting to transform their bodies to a fit and healthy state, and on the other hand what does it really take to continue a fit lifestyle and wellbeing.
The main problem i see with people attempting to get fit and not succeeding is that they do not leave their comfort zone.
If you want real results you better start real training. Now this doesn’t mean you have to start living like a monk, but rather taking the grip of responsibility in life.
Why not look after our bodies… we are worth it right?
When exercising this doesn’t mean half heartedly walking of a treadmill for 45mins with not pushing yourself for results.
A great saying that i remember hearing some years back was “You can’t get someone else to do the pushup’s for you”
Meaning you need to go out and experience this challenge and conquer it by yourself.
Growth Is Key
Whenever i workout or training in martial arts i am always looking to stretch myself and my learning.
People with exercising should not avoid the discomfort of having to work a little to get the results they originally set out to achieve.
So understand that this is where the growth in us lies, not just in health but everything we want to have.
After some time i had come to some conclusion that the ones who are out there kicking butt with a great success and growing themselves from the inside out are the ones who are taking the bull by the horns rather than running away.
So go ahead, grab the bull by the horns and take that ride. How do you know until you try?
We only have one body, so we need to look after it!
The other day i spoke to a lady who has struggled with losing weight for some time.
She explained how she had actually lost weight on this certain diet she was on, but after while it started to become far to much to handle and more of a chore.
(Not really the way you want to enjoy life.)
She ended up putting on more weight than when she first started!
It’s a real shame when i hear this as people are being led down the wrong road.
So one thing i know is that the lady i spoke to was not on her own as i keep seeing this time and time again.
Remember people, this method of a quick fix weight loss diet is not the way to go.
I always remind people that we only have one body, so we need to look after it!
Oh by the way, i have helped out the lady wanting to shed those annoying pounds and she is loving every minute of her new lifestyle. And this is the key guy’s… LIFESTYLE!
Mindset + Exercise + Nutrition = Long Term Success
Ever been caught up on certain diets that didn’t have long results? It would be interesting to see.
The Power Within
A big part of your success will be mental… this is why i’m a huge believer in getting the right mindset!
Don’t forget the mind controls the body, so let’s send out positive thoughts rather than negative ones.
BELIEVE & ACHIEVE!
Want To Get Fit? Use This Method
So let’s keep this short and sweet no fluff and straight to the point, so you can take this away and use today.
My Martial Fitness Interval training
Now basically what interval training means is to do an exercise for let’s say 30 seconds and then have a 10 second break.
Seems pretty easy right?
Well what i didn’t mention is that in those 30 seconds you need to give it your all and see how many repetitions you can get in, and then rest and repeat over again.
Remember that it’s good to keep switching up the exercises after each repetition set as it will work more areas of the body plus keeps things fresh and exciting.
So okay let me give you an example routine:
30 Seconds squat thrusts,
10 seconds rest
30 seconds pushups
10 seconds rest
30 seconds shadow sparring
10 seconds rest
Repeat 3 times and you will have around a 6 minute quick workout which will soon get you gasping for air if you are doing it correctly.
The beauty of this way in exercising is that you can increase the time and increase the intensity by putting lots of effort in or just 75%.
This method will also help you burn fat and get in great shape when you put in the effort.
I know lots of martial artists and athletes that use this type of method in their training so i know it works a treat.
So let’s give this a go! Oh by the way, look out for a video where i show you some examples of routines i like to use which will help you get the best results.
10 Reasons You’re Not Losing Weight!
Stop struggling and start living
This is a quick guide i have rustled up to show you reasons why you are struggling with losing weight.
So it is not that hard to figure out that all you need to do is the opposite to what i have listed and you will certainly succeed a ton more than you are right now.
Now i doubt that all of the reasons below apply to you but i’m sure a couple do.
What you need to do next is start fine tuning your lifestyle by switching these negative reasons into positive ones by taking action right away to start looking after your body as in the end we only have one.
It’s not like we can replace it with a new one when we want so we really need to take the time to look after our health for great longevity in this wonderful life of ours.
1. You think you’re eating healthy, but aren’t.
Just because you may intake foods and drinks that have the words diet on them doesn’t mean they are healthy. Actually a lot of the time they are full of artificial sweeteners and chemicals.
2. You’re not active enough.
One of the best ways to keep fit and enjoy life to be more active! Go on hikes and nature walks with the family is always a fun one. The basic principle with this is not to be lazy so walk more and move more.
3. You need to watch your carb intake.
Eating grains are okay in a moderation but the best form of cleans carbs is to stick with lovely fresh vegetables.
Just try and stay away from processed foods as it has hidden sugars/sweeteners.
4. You’re under too much stress
Stress equals a lot of the time emotional eating habits. The best way to release stress is to exercise more, this will keep you on a more even balanced lifestyle.
5. Your cardio training is not on point
Try not to spend hours working out on a treadmill a week. This will not be the best form of cardio training to do to lose weight plus it’s boring so you will give up eventually. What you need to try and adapt is interval training where you have short rests with fast repetitions.
This is lots more fun and works a treat.
6.Portion sizes are far too big
The main key with conquering this is to use the rule of eating until you are full. Don’t just eat for the sake of things, there is nothing worse than feeling bloated and stuffed.
7. To Many Excuses
This has to be one of the most important ones. Excuses are firing from everywhere, but if you want the best results you need to start cutting out the excuses and start thinking with the winning mindset.
8. Your mindset is not focused
You need to keep on track. Goals are a huge factor of succeeding, have you got yours? Have you wrote it down? If not start writing. This way you know where you are heading.
9. Not getting enough sleep
You should be looking at getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep a night. This let the body recover over night without releasing the fat storing hormones which occur with lack of sleep.
A healthy balance of good sleep will always be better for you in many ways.
10. You haven’t given it enough time.
All i can say for this last point is one word that lot’s of people find hard to take in… Patience.
It’s not going to happen over night, but just hang in there and enjoy the ride, you will succeed.
——————————————————————————————————————–
So there you have, a show of reasons why you may not be losing weight.
Just remember to take action, i see time and time again people not doing this and that is why they are struggling. Don’t be one of them.
