Losing weight effectively is a combination of the following things:* food selection
* food preparation
* exerciseThese three points need to be addressed if you want your weightloss campaign to be successful. If you do not address these three things you may find yourself on a cycle that does not give you the results that you are seeking.Let's take a look at the importance of each one individually.1. Food selection: Food selection and the type of fuel you put into your body is critical to your success. When choosing food to fuel your body and aid weightloss choose natural foods. Eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. Stay away from foods that have been processed and refined. Cut sugar out completely as it turns to fat on your body particularly around your waist. Do not drink cabonated drinks or alcohol. Water should be your preferred drink and you can add lemon or lime to give it flavour.2. Food Preparation: Often people choose the right foods and are doing the exercise required yet the weight refuses to budge. The simple reason for this is because they are preparing their food the wrong way. When cooking and preparing meat you must look at healthier alternatives to frying. The preferred methods for healthy cooking for a lean, healthy body are: steaming, blanching, grilling and baking- cooking in these ways helps to retain most of the nutrients and flavour without adding any fat.3. Exercise- Exercise is essential to not only lose weight but to tone your body. Be creative with your exercise routine but aim to do something everyday. Include cardio workouts, as well as weight and strength training to accelerate your weightloss. Pilates and yoga is a fantastic way to strengthen your core muscles and helps to create long lean muscles.Following the above three rules combined with your specific goals for weightloss will ensure your success.
