Can’t Lose Weight? It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This

Do you believe you can’t lose weight? Have you got a particular reason you can’t lose that excess fat? It’s a sad fact that most people firmly believe they can’t lose weight. Some mystical power is stopping them from achieving their weight loss goal.

Realty is that deep down they don’t really wanna lose any weight. They would be content to just carry on living as they are now. Yet they still tell themselves they would like to lose a few pounds but they can’t, or don’t know how.

It’s no magical secret. Weight loss is a simple mathematical problem. Your body needs to use more calories than it takes in. Taking in more calories than you burn off results in weight gain. Period.

The other perspective is that you will lose weight if you burn off more than you eat. This is the crux of the problem. The average diet is so full of calories it’s almost criminal. If you actually measured out the right amount of calorific intake that you should have each day you’ll give yourself a heart attack.

Let’s take a simple exercise, say doing side bends to try to burn off your love handles. You will lose weight by doing an awful lot of these. Your guess is as good as mine as to how many you need to do. It’s a balancing act between your intake of calories and how many you burn off.

You can quite easily take in a whole days allowance of calories in one meal. Seriously! Fast food is the biggest culprit. In fact fast food is quite often laced with sugar, even the burgers! Sugar makes you get hungry quicker after digestion.

The body changes everything we eat into energy in the form of glucose (simple sugar). Sugary foods get used up much faster and then leave you feeling hungry again very quickly. There’s a lot of people think our sugar reliant diets is no accident. A western world conspiracy to get us eating (and spending) more.

We eat more, we spend more, and they get rich! Big corporations that is. A simple formula for the big corporations to get rich. Of course, the simplest way to get us eating more is adding sugar to everything we eat.

Like in a bar when there’s peanuts or pretzels on the bar to nibble on. We eat the salt and get thirsty so we buy more beer. So, in conclusion to all this, the fact of the matter is you will lose weight by simply eating slightly less than you burn off. Can you do this on your own? I doubt it as the western worlds collective willpower is on the floor.

What you need is a hand holding system to help you. Something that will guarantee you lose weight if you follow it to the letter. If you’ve tried other methods and they’ve not worked, it’s maybe time you tried something with a new approach

Exercise For Love Handles – If Side Bends Don’t Work – What Will?

Do any search on the net and you’ll hit a million websites that will promise to strip that fat from your love handles. The fact is most of it’s crap. Usually setup to try and sell you some expensive equipment or diet pills.

The usual suspect in the exercise for love handles category is the good old side bend. You hold something above your head, usually a broom handle or stick and then lean or bend left, then right. Then repeat, repeatedly. Get real! Of course, they rarely work.

The fact they won’t work is that targeting one particular area to lose weight from is nigh on impossible. You’ll get a lot of know it alls telling you they do indeed work. They do work, but only if you do them with a whole all round system and not just “spot” training.

You will lose weight from your love handles if you incorporate the side bends with an all round workout. Couple the thorough workout with decent eating habits and you’ve cracked it. It’s a well known (but ignored) fact that to lose weight you simply need to consume less energy than you burn off.

To consume energy simply means to eat food. Burning energy off is done simply by activity or exercise. Any form of activity will burn energy off. This is basically what exercise is.

This could be walking, swimming, running, weightlifting or even sex. The last one sounds good to me! Any type of exercise is good for you. No exercise is bad for you. This is the reason people get fat. They eat calorie laden food and do little or no exercise.

Doing exercise for love handles will not work unless you have an all round workout. I’m a naturally lazy person so I tend to go swimming a lot. It’s a great non impact all round exercise. If you can get to a swimming pool you should. It’s gentle and has great benefits for you.

I dislike jogging and the like. I see no reason to pay for a slim figure with wrecked knee joints. The guy who popularised jogging actually died while out jogging in a park somewhere. Ironically discovered by two smokers walking past.

If you are serious about your shape then you need to get yourself an all round system to follow. Not some new fangled diet that won’t work but a system that will work long term and is gentle enough for you to keep at it. Check out (probably) the best five systems that are out there at this site …
