The Confusion of Dieting and Fat Loss

Posted on Jan 12 in Featureby Michael StewartPrint

People are more confused than ever about how exactly to burn fat.  They just don’t seem to know the best way to achieve the body they want.  What works and what doesn’t and what are the reasons why?  There are countless people frustrated everyday, slaving away inn the gyms and fitness centers around the country right now with very little results for all their hard work.

The tireless working, day in and day out, on the treadmill, elliptical, stair climber to burn calories and lose the fat is not getting the desired results.  They are hopefully also lifting weights several times a week for hours at a time to build strength and muscle.  Who knows, they may even be taking a few aerobics or other fitness classes too.

Their diet is probably following one of the latest strategies that promises miracle fat burning and weight loss with the smallest amount of effort and least changes in daily life possible.  Their budget for diet supplements has gone through the roof as they spend on the latest pill that aids in weight loss.  And of course, they are watching the scale like a hawk as it has become the tool by which they judge their progress.

If it goes up a pound or two, their behavior becomes quite rash and they may even change up their entire workout or diet program.  Of course many others are doing the same thing!

This kind of stuff, after all, is what so many of the fitness and diet “gurus” recommend to burn fat.  With so many strategies and plans being pushed as the “ultimate” we tend to go overboard and none of it ends up really working.

We lose sight of what really matters in fat burning, fitness and health… the priciples that many people just don’t know about, have forgotten or only a select few actually put to use to achieve life long fitness.  These principles helped me achieve a fat loss of 32 pounds, dropping from 235 to 203 in just 2 months time.  I dropped unwanted body fat, kept it off, and recharged my life.

With any exercise of nutition program, you will probably lose some fat initially but often the progress doesnt continue or slows to the point where a person gets frustrated.  This happens because the person is using a temporary mindset.  They are only focused on a short term and specific goal.  They end up switching to something else over and over again until the cycle repeats itself and confusion becomes the norm.

This is one of the biggest, if not the #1 reson for a lack of success in fat loss, diet, and fitness programs.  Jumping from one fad diet or exercise routine to another and losing site of the goal to be healthy for LIFE just does not work.

Quite simply most people are probably exercising too much, not intensely enough and adhering to unrealistic diet requirements.

If instead we focus on a long term plan, a change in lifestyle and stop worrying about “losing 10 pounds by summer” they would find the weight might just come off a little easier and tend to stay off.

The right things include brief, progressive, intense resistance training, eating a diet full of rich nutritious foods, drinking a LOT of water and getting plenty of rest and sleep.  The students of the Fat Burning Furnace method understand this and reap the benefits… Do You?
