Human lives are amusing, at one point you can get depressed from the rigors of employment or family obligation while at the next point you can be happy and celebrating. Many people are busy with their daily hustles and movements, it's no wonder that the majority of them fail to find time to exercise. Surprisingly, it's during these stressful moments that you may find yourself gaining a high appetite for food hence eating more and working out less -- resulting in unwanted weight gain.However, the good News is that several things can be done to reduce the rate of your increasing body weight.
Recheck your diet program
The first simple step is to recheck your current diet and evaluate where you can minimize your caloric intake. For instance, if you take bread more than twice a day, limit it to once a day. You can as well become creative and make a sandwich using romaine or lettuce leaves. The good thing is that shifting from a bread sandwich to lettuce can decrease your intake of calories by approximately 10% to 20% throughout the week.
The second step is to regulate the amount of your sugar intake. This is because many of the processed foods contain additional sugar such as milk, chips, sauces, crackers, and even juices. For instance, a banana is a very healthy fruit to eat, however, eating too many in a day at 100 calories each can interfere with your diet.A crash diet program can work perfectly well for a start to reducing your caloric intake, but to reach your target, it's important to double up on your exercises.
Incoporating better ways of exercising your body
It is evident that exercising once a day can sound like a heavy task to most people, but sometimes more is better especially when it comes to reducing extra pounds in your body. Personally, I was once in a tight situation where I had to work between careers during the day and at night shift and during that period, I drastically gained a lot of weight.
However, since I was determined to work on my weight, I enrolled for a double weight session; I use to jump rope and jog in the morning for about one to two hours and perform yoga, Zumba, or aerobics in the evening for an hour. From my experience, I can encourage you that working out twice a day can profoundly help you lose weight faster.
Interestingly, a few weeks after incorporating double exercise in my program coupled with reduced intake of calories; I was able to regain myideal weightthat is approximately 250 pounds. Therefore, this additional exercise session can be advantageous if you are determined to overcome the obstacles, accompanied by good rest in between. Once you start a double workout, the secret is that instead of working 2 hours per session you can divide it into two 30 minute session for maximum gain. Therefore, if you would like to have a better physical shape and yet you are afraid of becoming a workout warrior, the trick is a double work session. It can be as simple as 30-40 minute jog in the morning followed by a light 20-30 minute weight session. Thus, if you have ever tried a crash diet program, and it never worked,a double workout sessioncan assist you.
