In the recent past, a woman working out at the gym talked about participating in a weight loss competition.She was one of those people often found exercising, but not all the time. Her results reflected that. You can read about the importance of being consistent in a weight loss forum.

While not obese, she definitely had weight to lose.The look she had was peculiar: she seemed excited about the chance to win a prize.

Since she wanted me to help her, I got out my skin fold caliper and measured her at 27%. This was normal for her over forty age group.

I concurred when she said that she wanted to be 19%: it’s a good place to be.

Since average fat loss over a one week period is less that 1%, I told her that she’d need a good part of a year to reachh her goal.After training intensely for 12 weeks, she had impressive results: she exceeded her goal by 2%. She even did six pack ab exercises.

Her excitment was really an inspirational to me. Suddenly, however, she stopped coming to the gym.

The woman wouldn’t answer the phone when I tried to contact her

Months later, she came back to the gym, but had gained most of her weight back after failing to win the contest. She started exercising again, but only periodically. This type of temporary success followed by failure happens a lot.

It is possible, however, to have progressively better results year after year. It just takes more than 12 weeks.I have a few suggestions that will get you going.

1. Don’t define your program as beginning a diet: your better eating habits should be regarded as a permanent alteration of your lifestyle.

2. Get a plan ready to maintain your fitness once you’ve achieved your goals.

3. Don’t try changing too much at once. Trying to do too much too fast will make your goals unsustainable.

We all understand that we need to eat our fruits and veggies because they have he highest vitamin and mineral content of any other food.

Raw fruits and veggies carry a much larger content of vitamins and minerals than your cooked foods.

Heat during the cooking process damages the vitamin and mineral content and kills natural enzymes.
