What Is The Key To Weight Loss?

What is the key to weight loss? Well there are many different answers to that question. Some people think that a certain diet or exercise is the key. I think that a combination of the two is the best.

Exercise is only 15% responsible for weight loss. Diet is the key component, 85%. But you still need both in order to be successful.

Dieting can be a scary term. Some people think of it as starving yourself and others think of it as cutting out anything that tastes good. That is not at all the case.

Healthy and successful dieting can be consisted of healthy and natural foods. When you cut out the processed food that we eat everyday you can see results.

When dieting sugar is okay in small quantities, especially if it is healthy natural sugar. It is easy and good to sweeten things with natural ingredients such as fruits, and other plants. Stevia is a great natural sweetener. It does not taste like other "diet" sugars. It is natural and it is delicious.

Getting rid of soda and anything deep fried is another great way to lose weight and be healthier. When you replace greasy deep fried foods with healthy natural choices even your body will thank you.

You can gain a lot of energy from eating healthier. Foods that are high in nutritional value such as, Quinoa, Spinach, Kale, and other so-called "superfoods" can really make a difference in your energy level.

Exercise can not be ruled out in weight loss. It is a vital component. When you couple a natural healthy diet with regular exercise you cannot go wrong.

Exercise can be enjoyable and rewarding. When you have a good mix of aerobics and strength training you can see a lot of results. Running is a great aerobic exercise but it alone will not give you the toned body you may be looking for.

You need to mix in things like squats, weight lifting and other strength exercises. This will give you a toned beach ready body.

Exercise can do amazing things for your emotional well being. It can boost your energy and make you have a positive outlook. It can help to raise your endorphin levels and make you an overall happier person.

Exercising outside can even be more rewarding. Having sunlight and fresh air can help you to feel better and happier. Getting that vitamin D in your system can really boost your health level.

If you have a gym membership try to be motivated to go! Set a schedule for yourself and hold yourself accountable. Find a system that works for you.

If you are going to reward yourself, try not to use food. Use something else. Buy yourself something nice or do something fun.

Losing weight can be an achievable goal. Anyone can do it. It can be very rewarding and a positive experience. Keep at it and stay motivated! You will be successful. Don't be afraid to start today!
