Getting Physical
Quick fact: Remember what we mentioned before? There are
approximately 3,500 calories per pound of fat?
That means that you need to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound of
fat.
Makes you think twice before eating a hamburger with the fries doesn’t
it?, especially when you put it into perspective with the amount of
exercise you have to do to burn it off. That always makes me think
twice before reaching for the tub of ice cream because I think how
much I’ll have to sweat and burn to get rid of it.
But don’t think for a second that you need to be like those Biggest
Loser Guys on television where they lose an unrealistic 10 to 15
pounds per week.
Who has the time to exercise for 6 to 7 hours per day? Not me and
I’m pretty sure neither do you. I wouldn’t recommend this method of
weight loss; it’s simply not realistic for the general population to follow
when you have a fulltime job and family to worry about. Great if you
can hole yourself up for 12 weeks with a personal trainer, all of the
latest cutting edge technology equipment and with the entire world
watching you’re every move, who wouldn’t succeed?
Please don’t think that because you are not losing 5 pounds per week
that you’re failing your program or that it’s not working. Don’t
compare your results to these types of shows as the conditions they
lose the weight under are extreme.
A recent study revealed that if you give someone a good enough
reason to lose weight, they will. 25 overweight participants had
pictures taken of them wearing nothing more than their underwear
revealing of all their lumps, bumps and jiggly bits.
