Weight Loss

Hello gang,
My name is Will Holman, and Ive been working out in the gym for the last 24 years.
Ive been training people for the last 4 years off and on, because I am also a Realtor by profession.

Now what I have found is that most people are looking to lose weight but just don`t know which diet to go on, or which exercise routine to fellow. Well, I am going to try to help you out with those decisions in this blog post.

First you must understand the basics, and that is calories in, calories out. those are the basic building blocks of any weight loss system.

Now, most people don`t like to count calorie, I know that, but the simple fact is that if you burn more calories then you consume you will lose weight. There is no guess work about that.

So now keeping that fact in mind, let me just say there are no magic foods, and you don`t need special diets to lose weight. In fact I will go so far as to say you can eat anything you want and still lose weight.

So now you are probably going oh yeah, right, this guy has lifted one too many dumbbells, well, its true, remember there is no magic foods.
There is no food that is worse then another, as far as weight loss is concern. All food has a calorie content and if you learn to manage that calorie content you can eat what you like. It is the quantity of the food you eat not the quality that will do you in.

Which again goes back to calorie management. So what are you saying Will? what I am saying is you can eat Ice cream sandwiches and still lose weight, as long as you only eat one a day, not 3 a day. Unless thats all you are going to eat that day(I don`t recommend it) .

Now there are two parts to this story the second part is you must burn calories each day as well.
so you must control how many calories you take in by deciding how much you will take in each day. Then decide how much you will burn each day, and you will be able to decide if you will lose or gain weight by those calculations.

So how do you know how to calculate your food plan each day? There are two ways, well there are probably more then two, but these are the most common two I know of.

1. is kinda expensive , it involves going to www.myapex.com and buying a body bug system for about $200.00. The body bug system will do everything for you keep track of how many calories you eat each day, and how many you burn.

2. And this is my favorite, is simply read labels before you eat it. the labels will tell you how many calories are in the products you consume. so you keep a little note book of what you are eating, along with the calories count from the label for the day. Add up the calorie count, so let say you ate 670 calories and its noon time. and lets say you eat another 1200 by bedtime ( that is including dinner) you are only going to eat 1870 calories, for that day. You know this because you plan out your meals, and count the calories ahead of time.

So in order to lose weight you only need to burn 500 more calories then you eat to lose weight quicly and safely so you only need to burn 2370 calories for that day. Sounds like a lot huh?
Guess what? the average person burns about 2000 carloies just going about their daily activities.
Now here is the good part, you decide what foods you will eat to make up 1870 calories, it can be whatever you like as long as you stick to the plan, you will lose weight.

In this particular plan all you have to do is go to the gym and burn 500 calories, which you can easily do in an hours time.

Please check back from time to time as I will be covering other subject such as, How often to exercise, what to eat to burn calories, Which exercises burn the most calories. Also let me know if you want information on any particular weight problems you might be facing.
