Weight Loss Basics

The nutritional industry has shown a remarkable growth in the past decades and is now headed to become one of the (if not the) biggest growing industry all over the world. We are constantly offered new and improved ways of being healthier and feel better, but with all of these products and options we are left without the information that we need to make informed decisions. And when we do have some information, it is so fragmented and repeated in a million several ways that we can't possibly decide who to listen on what.

Here, we try to give you the basics of weight loss. There is no pitch and no sale just the principles you need to follow (on any diet and exercise program) to get to a healthy weight without getting into any physical problems and without killing yourself with exercise that can bring muscle problems and shoulder pain.

How This Works

Your weight is controlled by a (relatively) simple equation: the number of calories that you eat and the number of calories that you use. To loose weight, you need to take in fewer calories than the ones you end up using. This is achieved by both eating less and better and adding in physical exercise to your daily life. A weight loss program needs to focus on these two areas to be truly successful. To be effective, it also needs to help you make changes in your physical activity (the exercise you do everyday) and your eating habits so that you can keep that weight off and stay healthy for the years to come. Principles of Weight Loss

Principles of Weight Loss

  • Excess weight can be caused by a complex combination of genetic, metabolic, environmental and psychological factors. There is no such thing as an effortless weigh loss program.
  • A sedentary lifestyle is to be avoided if you want a healthy body.
  • To loose weight you need to burn more calories than you take in. Either by reducing intake or by increasing expenditure, the best method is a combination of the two.
  • Excessive physical activity is not the answer, always consult your physician before starting your exercise plan (and if you have a condition like frozen shoulder exercise extreme care and caution.)
  • Even a modest weight loss has an immediate and noticeable health value.

Principles for Maintaining your Weight

  • Maintain healthy eating habits: this entails reducing the total calories and fat consumption and increase the intake of vegetables, fruits and whole grains in order to achieve a balanced diet.
  • Exercise regularly and with moderate intensity. At no point is excessive physical activity neither required not recommended: challenge your limits with a very slow pace.
