weight loss tips

[metalgod]

Portion Control, but if you can't, low carb/Atkins. It's the only diet I know where you can pig out and still lose weight but it's a tough diet to stay on. As you get older and your energy levels decrease, excercise though good for you, may actually have a detrimental effect on weight loss, as you need extra carbs and calories to boost energy levels. For most people, not all people but most people, your bad cholesterol will go into normal range despite all the fat that is permissible with an Aktins diet and in nearly all people on Atkins, their glucose and triglycerides will plummet... After I am done with my giant bag of potato chips, I am going back on Atkins.

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is good advice.

Atkins diet combined with little exercise is a horrible combination. This will leave a person feeling lethargic because it kills their metabolism and carbs are a vital energy source and the most preferred source of energy by the body. Atkins WITH exercise is even worse because after you exercise your body desperately wants carbs and protein so that it can rebuild the muscle you broke down.

Weight loss is sometimes misleading. A 200 lb person may be upset to find he worked out hard all week and then he is 202 lbs when he weighs himself again. But, he may have gained 3 lbs. of muscle and lost 1 lb. of fat. In this case, the 202 lb person is more healthy than the 200 lb person.

I bet that many of the most in-shape people on this planet eat far more than many obese people. Why? Because they workout hard enough to the point where their body needs massive amounts of calories to rebuild the muscle it broke down during exercise. The more muscle you have (and muscle is only created with exercise and an increased caloric intake), the higher your metabolism will be all else being equal.

I eat between 3,500-4,000 calories a day and I have 6% body fat. The exercise I do allows me to eat as much as I do. A huge Chipotle Burrito with 1,000 calories and over 100 grams of carbs after a good workout is exactly what I need to refuel myself. The same burrito eaten without any exercise would be a problem.

Don't eat when you're not hungry.
