Now basically, all of us have a concept of how to shed weight, don’t we?

So why do we find it so hard? Each and every diet plan on the market, in spite of how great it is will not work without one vital ingredient, Perseverance!

Sadly that is not something we can purchase from the store, that I’m afraid to say, is one thing that we must give ourselves, and without it, just about every diet that you try definitely will fail.

There are some good diet programs around,as mentioned in Fit Yummy Mummy Review, and one diet plan that fits a person will not strictly match another. So you may find that you and your best friend are planning to begin a diet together, your friend might be going great guns and burning off pound after pound, but you, are not. It’s depressing; however it’s a truth of life that we are all made up differently.

For me personally I don’t recommend diets as such. After you restrict your calories, the body will believe that there is a food shortage, and it’ll go into starvation mode. Once in hunger mode, it will slow down your fat burning capacity to conserve calorie consumption.

You see your body have been set from way back that if there is no supply of food, we had to look for our food so our food items weren’t consistent. The metabolic rate adjusts the use of our calories to ensure that in times of food shortage; we would not waste away and starve.

Currently in this era, there is always food at hand; but our body is unaware of this. When you skip a meal the body goes on hunger alert and slow that metabolic process all the way down, which suggests next time you eat, the body is going to hang on to those calories and store as much of them as it could as fat.

So, what’s the solution? There has been tons of study and in my viewpoint the way ahead is this: To maintain your metabolic rate ticking over at a regular pace, you need to eat regular meals, regular small meals each and every 2.5 - three hours, try to include proteins in these meals (meat, if possible lean meat i.e. chicken, turkey, tuna) since protein doesn’t shoot your blood glucose levels right up and plummet it down again as sweet foods would. Maintain your daily calories to a guideline level, (have a look at your ideal consumption online somewhere).

The second part is something that you’re not specifically going to like, yet, it’s the only way forward, you have to Workout!!

You’ll need cardio workouts 3-4 times a week for approx 40 mins at a time, and also important, you have to do weight training exercise, as the more muscle tissue you have, the more fat you burn. Ladies don’t panic, that does not mean that you have to look like Arnie, however you’ll need muscle tone, and the more you have, the more fats you’ll burn, even while you fall asleep!

Best Of Luck!
