Staying Fit

As a fellow pursuer of the ultimate body, I have come across many common pills or techniques to get thin quick. Don’t believe those advertisements, how do you think our ancestors kept in shape? with weight loss supplements? I don’t think so.

These tips are not for someone who is going to eat healthy and workout for a day expect results, sculpting your body takes time and your body needs time to adjust as well.

There are some easy and quick tips that anyone can follow to begin sculpting their dream body today. Most importantly you have to eat, starving yourself is not going to make you lose any weight, what happens when you starve is you will binge eat, which is actually the worse way to go. How do you eat more one would ask, well first you have to eat more properly, eating at least 5 – 6 meals a day will get your metabolism fired up and it even helps to satisfy your daily cravings. However, when you do eat, the meals should be small and portioned, try to eat foods that are high in fiber so it makes you feel fuller.

Upon waking in the morning, it is important to remember to eat within one hour to get your body going. I find it is helpful to start the day with a cup of green tea or black coffee to kick start your metabolism in the morning. Throughout the day, I try to make sure each meal has a protein source (meat, fish, beans, and etc.) along with fiber. The general rule is to eat slow and chew thoroughly, which allows your brain to process your stomach’s fullness response.

There are certain types of food that everyone should eat and there are places to shop at the supermarkets. When shopping for groceries, never buy products that have things you can’t pronounce. Try to stay away from the inner aisles, which tend to have the more processed foods. Foods that will go bad eventually mean they are good for you because if bacteria can settle in then there aren’t any harmful preservatives in the foods.

Now as for the exercise, everyone thinks you have to go to the gym and take massive supplements to gain muscle, but you don’t have to. If you can go outside and simply jog for roughly 30 minutes a day, that is almost enough to speed up your metabolism. Now if you have access to a gym with weights that is even better. Studies have shown that lifting weights help burn calories faster than just cardio alone. Nonetheless, one can manage without a gym; go buy resistance bands a yoga mat. Then you can do many things at home for free such as workouts for your chest, back, legs, abs and more.

Overall, if you eat more but small meals, and maintain a regular workout schedule, you should see results within a few weeks. These are just some free and easy ways to stay fit without breaking your piggy bank.
