The 3-step Plan To Natural Weight Loss

By: Sigmund Ki

There are a ton of weight loss pills out there on the market, and so they often distract us from the essentials of weight loss – or should I say that WE get distracted by the amazing claims and promises that these supplements show? It doesn't seem unlikely that many people are beginning to go crazy over these pills. I mean, it sounds great that you can lose 20 pounds just by eating a few pills. If you can do that, why even bother with proper dieting and exercising? However, the truth is that if your entire weight loss plan is completely based around these pills, then you'll never see any permanent weight loss. Remember that you shouldn't be using supplements as a complete substitute for good old fashioned diet and exercise! You should be focusing on those two aspects as part of your weight loss program.

1. Check the diet: "You become what you eat." – You've probably heard that before, and it's true! For example, did you ever take a look at the health of people who eat burgers very often? Or maybe of friends that often get you to go to restaurants? Do you notice anything about their body that's healthy? When you start to eat fatty and greasy foods, does your body have a negative reaction or feeling? I know you've probably heard this a million times, but unless you cut back on fat, sugar, and processed foods, you'll never lose pounds.


2. Cardiovascular Exercises: As well as keeping your diet in check, you HAVE to do cardio exercises! You do your cardio training in a variety of ways: running on a treadmill, rollerblading, stair climber, swimming, etc. – You should remember that cardio exercises will be an essential part of your weight loss program because they allow you to burn fat much faster! They get your heart racing at a fast speed, and also gets your body stronger to take on tougher workloads. If you find that you ever got tired as you were lifting weights, walking/running a long distance, or climbing stairwells, then cardio workouts will definitely help to make your body build stamina for these activities.

3. Weight Training: You're going to need a bit more than just cardio training. In addition to cardio, you're going to have to also do weight training. As a matter of fact, weight training can be better than cardio exercises because not only dos it burn fat, but it also builds up your muscle mass. The more pounds of muscle you have, the more calories you'll be able to burn throughout the day (even if you do nothing!).

All I have to say is this: if you're serious about losing weight, then you have to follow the 3 main parts of a proper plan as stated above. If you find that any of these steps are missing from your weight loss program, then you won't be noticing significant weight loss at all. You should also remember that weight loss pills are just called "supplements" for a good reason… they're just supposed to supplement your natural weight loss program. While they can be great at helping you lose many more pounds, they aren't good enough to be complete substitutes for good dieting and exercising!
