When you are bombarded with choices, you tend to stay still and not do anything, similar to a possum in the path of a bright headlight.
That's the way it feels some times with all these weight loss programs and diet programs out there trying to catch your attention.
How to sort all the rock from the gold has become very difficult.
This article will give you a guide to picking the best weight loss program for you, and why you should follow a weight loss program.
Let me first correct myself by saying "weight loss" is not the goal, "fat loss" is the goal.
If you were to stop eating tomorrow your body would start using it's own muscle to survive, but the fat would mostly stay.
This is the "skinny overweight syndrome".
This is not where you want to go - having muscle on your body helps to burn calories even at rest so you are actually going backwards by not eating - somebody tell Hollywood that one.
- You need to follow some sort of fat loss program - no exceptions.
Even if you have a PhD in medicine, phys ed and think you know it all - even then you'd still have to create yourself a fitness program, but most of us are not endowed with everlasting knowledge on fitness and biochemistry.
When you try and go it alone, you lack guidance in your exercises but most importantly nutrition and motivation.
' ' Speaking from experience, when you have a plan to follow, your destination comes a lot sooner and easier than "winging it".
- Now down to the loins of the article - which program will be the best for you? Well, first define your target - do you want to become lean and muscular, do you want to get a body builders physique or do you just want to lose a bit of excess stomach fat?
