Diet And Fitness, Winning Tactics For Weight Loss
By Bill Urell
Tell me, does this describe you? 'I tried a zillion diets in fits
and starts and was never successful.' Just going on a diet will not
give you a complete healthy persona. I finally paid attention to
what everybody was saying, but I was too lazy to do.
I added exercise and fitness to the equation. We also need to stay
fit as well as diet to lose weight. Our true wealth is our health.
Isn't it worth your time bring it into peak condition and maintain
it? Diet fitness is all about an accurate mix of diet and an
appropriate fitness program.
This basically includes three levels of consideration:
1. Balance-A balanced diet must contain carbohydrate, protein, fat,
vitamin, mineral salts and fiber in well proportionate quantity.
Carbohydrates are the source of energy so these play an important
role in balanced diet. Intentional inclusion of all foods from
fruits to vegetables and meats to grains.
2. Moderation- portion control, small quantity at regular intervals.
I had to laugh when I heard the results of a 5-year study costing
millions of dollars the government ran to find out why the
population of the US is getting heavier. The results…they determined
we eat larger quantities! 'Super Size it!'
3. Variation - wide variety in foods, means higher chances of
complete nutrition. And variety in your workout routine means a
greater chance of sustaining it.
It is a well-known fact that poor diet leads to diseases, like
obesity, even cancer and heart disease. The link between diet and
physical fitness has well been established and recognized as a
science in itself. It's the basis of dynamic and creative
intellectual activity. How do you balance diet and fitness? What
changes in your diet and fitness regimes will prove to be the most
beneficial ones?
These questions may have been on your mind for a long time but you
didn't know where to start. I let the paralysis of analysis prevent
me from getting started for a long time. I wanted the 'perfect'
fitness plan. My advice? Just get started anywhere, but get started.
There are the solutions at your doorstep. First and foremost, you
need to ensure that the diet you are on, supplies you enough
strength and energy to carry out the fitness training which means:
The basic fitness diet should:
1. Have a wide variety of foods-- wholegrain breads and cereals for
vitamins and minerals, leafy green vegetables for iron fueling,
fruit for adequate fiber, lean meat and Fish (lowers cholesterol and
helps prevent cancer) and low fat dairy products.
2. Enable you to have optimal weight and energy to carry out daily
activities with ease.
3. Enhance quick and complete recovery during exercise.
4. Supply enough fluids to have maximum hydration.
5. Provide both short and long term benefits and ease of
maintenance.
When the above criterion is satisfied, you can confirm that you are
on a diet that is not starving you or running you the risk of
malnutrition and weakness. Fitness programs can include not only
basic gymnasium but modern techniques like dancing, aerobics and
yoga for variety and fun. If it is enjoyable it will be easier to
maintain.
Make no mistake about it, fitness regimes help you speed up the
process of loosing weight along with the diet. That is the key, the
magic diet accelerator. So eat healthy, exercise and be wise!
