Weight loss by losing fat

The number one health and fitness goal is weight loss.

This goal is really fat loss because it specifically identifies the issue.  Obesity levels are rising in the U.S.  In fact, worldwide obesity levels are rising.  Not just are we finding obesity in adults, but children are getting fatter and increasingly unhealthy.

Despite the many books and weight-loss programs that are available, the general population still struggles for control of their body-fat levels.

So let us assume you are one of the people who has made the decision that you would like to lose your body-fat.

Maybe it is 20 pounds or maybe it is 50. The number does not really matter as much as the decision.  Remember, it is the decision to lose weight that matters, not how much!

Thus, below is the information that is really necessary to help you gain control of your body composition once and for all.

It is not as esy as it sounds to achieve your fat-loss goals because it requires modification of habits.  So do not let anyone kid you into thinking that it is easy!

The first thing that I recommend to lose weight is to exercise.  The easiest exercise that I find is a brisk walk for 20 or 30 minutes a day.  You do this to burn calories.  If you do not burn a lot of calories and eat small quantities of food, you will make the process of weight loss more and more difficult.  I can understand how it seems like the best way to lose weight is to eat fewer and fewer calories - smaller meals, but a better solution would be to burn more.  All you have to do is make sure that you are burning more calories than you are taking in, and there are all kinds of ways to burn calories.

Nutrition is the most important aspect of successful fat-loss.  Proper nutrition does not have to be complicated for one to feel full while losing fat.

I suggest eating five healthy meals of 400 to 500 calories each, at three-to four-hour intervals to control your body-fat.  If you follow this plan, you will begin to get very lean.  If you start eating too many sugary foods, you will start to gain fat.

For women, I recommend portion sizes of roughly 300 to 350 calories per meal. For men it is usually around 450.  The trick is to start following the above  eating plans and see what happens.  If you do not see results within a few weeks, down size the meals a tiny bit.  Whatever you do, do not snack between meals.  Also, remember that proper hydration is essential for fat-loss and for a healthy body, so drink at least 8 glasses of water through the day.
