It isn't surprising that the overwhelming number one choice of news years resolutions is to get in shape, or to lose weight. It seems that for most of us today, we are not happy with out weight. If you'd like to lose a hundred pounds, or just enough to fit into that dress or pair of slacks, you're in good company. More and more people today are overweight.
The question is why are so many of us so fat? It's not like there is a big mystery behind gaining weight. You don't wake up one morning to suddenly find you've gained a hundred pounds. You don't go to your doctor and find you've contracted some horrible disease called fatness that is completely out of your control. If we are really honest with ourselves, we know it's simple why we are so fat. We eat too much, and exercise too little.
If you go to your local bookstore, there's plenty of books on different diet plans, filled with low fat, healthy recipes on what to cook and how to eat. You won't have any trouble finding books at your local bookstore that will give you information on exercise. Joining a gym isn't difficult, as there are plenty to choose from, as well as signing up for personal training. Lack of information is not our problem.
Our problem, it seems, is sheer lack of willpower. But is that really the case? Sure, if you suddenly change your diet and lifestyle, you would probably lose quite a bit of weight. If you stopped eating all fast food, and started working out at the gym for an hour or two every night, you would certainly fit into those clothes that you haven't worn since high school. But is that really the best course of action?
I think it isn't. I believe the best way to lose weight, is the same way you gained it. Slow and steady. It took a while to gain all that weight, and it's going to take a while to lose it. So maybe you shouldn't try for so much so soon. It' just not possible. If you try for something beyond what is natural, of course you are going to run into problems. Slow and steady is much better, in the long run.
So what is the best slow and steady approach to weight loss? Walking. One foot in front of the other, again and again. It may not seem like the most dramatic exercise in the world, but it's better than nothing, and a fantastic start in the right direction. After you get into the habit of hitting the pavement on a daily basis, amazing things can happen. Try it, you may find it to have a dramatic effect on your health.
