Dieting and Fitness!!!

Dieting and Fitness!!!

If one wants to live a long, healthy lifestyle, there are two essentials, diet and fitness.
Some believe that these two factors mean one and the same, but the truth is they are a lot different.
It is possible to have a healthy diet and poor fitness level....



You can lose weight through effective diet plans alone, but it is a
difficult process. You can maintain physical fitness and still be a little on
the heavier side. Our lifestyle is largely dependent on the kind of food we
consume. If our diet plan has high fat and low substance products, our bodies
will lack the necessary fuel to burn excess fat. Similarly, if we don't give our
bodies the tools required to build muscles, the number of weights we lift is of
no significance.

In order to produce best results related to a healthy
lifestyle, diet and fitness must work hand in hand. Your fitness regime must
burn the excess fat and calories while a healthy diet must supply the fuel and
nutrients necessary to build muscle. I have often heard that a pound of fat
weighs more than the same amount of muscle. Though this is not completely true,
we know that a pound of muscle will occupy less area in the body when compared
to a pound of fat. Talking in terms of pounds, I would prefer mine to be made of
muscle rather than fat. Throughout your efforts, you must keep in mind that
dieting alone will not build muscle.

You must realize that, in the
process of adding muscles, you may be losing weight without showing significant
progress on the weighing scale. It is essential that you remember this
throughout the weight reduction program. If you measure progress by relying on
the scales, you will be misled to a large extent. Many people do not realize
this, and tend to give up due to frustration, while they are actually beginning
to make progress. Do not let yourself be misled by the scale. Look in
the mirror, wear a pair of your tighter pants to measure your waist. Don't
measure your weight loss success by checking how many pounds you lost this week,
instead, see how it feels after climbing some stairs.

By combining your diet routine with your fitness regimen, you will help the body lose extra fat
that may have been consumed. You can use this trick to make up for your tiny
urges. All you have to do is burn off the extra calories by working out a little
more than usual.
When diet and fitness are combined effectively, it will produce excellent weight loss
results for people who take both seriously. The important thing to be remember
is that neither will work well alone, and they will not work at all unless
you are serious and willing to put in the effort. You must
give it priority in your daily life, and then you can achieve
fantastic results.
