Hello everyone, I know its been a long time since I updated the blog. I haven't dropped off. I'm still on the quest to outstanding health. Hope you all are still at it.
The reason for the post today is that I continue each day to see so many people in the gym working hard, but never making any progress toward their weight loss goals. Although there could be several reasons for this, I would bank on the number one reason would be food consumption. What type and how much. I was talking to someone in the gym about what they do after a work out. They told me they go to a popular buffet that's a nationwide name brand and refuel. This is someone that's been in the gym for years without any movement whatsoever. Their physical endurance has gotten better but they are at stale mate on the weight reduction. Why is it that someone can be in the gym two hours a day and not lose weight or inches? Its simple math. One fat pound is approximately 3500 calories. Fat pounds are what need to be reduced. So, in order to lose one fat pound a week you have to have a reduction of at least 3500 calories. Okay, with that said what's the best way to achieve this reduction and have a sustainable reduction regardless of external circumstances. External circumstances are things that aren't in your control. Well let me give you an example of external circumstances; to many hours at work, children activities, having to go out of town for business and etc. These things can be out of your control and if you are depending on exercise only for weight reduction you are in trouble. Let me illustrate this: I can run 5 miles straight at 7.18 minute mile. While doing this the most calories I'm going to burn is 1088. Just for example if I ate fries and drunk coke I could skip them in one meal and eliminate 710 calories with only making a conscious thought and having self discipline, Examine what you are eating. You may be sabotaging yourself by what you eat. Weight loss starts in the kitchen.
