The Balance in Fitness is Important
Anyone who went through a program to lose weight, by this understanding a combination of diet and physical exercise, experienced a certain point when the weight stopped from decreasing with no particular reason. This is mainly caused by the bodys tendency to maintain a balance between the energy intake and energy consuming.
In other simpler words our body doesnt enjoy losing weight. After a considerable weight loss the progress slows down considerably although you tend to maintain the same nutrition report and the same exercise routine. What could be the problem and how should we re mediate it:
Problem 1: You have reduced the calorie intake too much When you reduce the calories intake the metabolism rate decreases also. This way the body will function but the need for calories will be reduced and the weight will do its best to maintain itself.
Solution: Keep the calorie intake immediately under the necessary. But keep in mind that a large decrease in calorie intake will affect the muscle mass.
Problem 2: You seem to loose not only weight but also muscular mass. The muscle burn the fat so by reducing the muscle less calories will be burned. The muscle tissue uses 5 times the calories compared to the fat tissue so by reducing the muscle the metabolism becomes lazy and the weight loss stops.
Solution: Besides the diet have in mind a regular, organized, exercise program .Weight lifting is best for fitting the muscle mass.
Problem 3: The weight loss itself can become a problem even if it was the original purpose. By reducing the calorie necessary the body needs more energy.
Solution: The exercise helps reducing the fat tissue more effectively than the reducing the calorie intake.
Problem 4: The body is adapting. Ever time you start an exercise program the body gets used to it after a while and the results are less and less spectacular.
Solution: Do not let the body get used to the exercise because it will burn less and less calories for the same exercise.
A well designed exercise program can be a very important tool for the weight loss target. This means you have to consider very carefully the number of exercise sessions during a week, the number of muscle groups you are going to work, the length and rhythm of the practice and consider that you will have to invest weeks or maybe months for a durable result.
