Health and Wellness Weight Loss Tips

We want things to be quick, easy, and complicated.

How does complicated fit in, you ask? Because we’ve been told “easy come, easy go” and “nothing worth having comes easy” – so we figure if we make the process complicated then that could be considered the hard part and we’re okay.

But in fact, the path to success is usually slow, hard, and simple. This holds true in most instances, but for the sake of this post I will relate it to losing weight and getting in shape.

Losing weight is a slow process because…
It doesn’t happen over night, it takes months – maybe even years depending on where your starting point is. That isn’t to deter you but to help you set more realistic expectations.

Losing weight is hard because…
If you don’t put in the physical effort and push yourself then you are not going to see results. If you are able to carry on a conversation with ease while on the treadmill not breaking a sweat then you are clearly not working hard enough. You have to push yourself. Get a little uncomfortable. Get a little winded. Feel like you’re going to pass out – but don’t – and then you’re working hard, like you need to be.

It’s also hard because (if you’re like me) you love to eat, and sometimes overeat, food that is perfectly delicious; however, is also terribly high in calories. Changing this habit and preference isn’t going to be easy.

This isn’t to deter you either, but to help prepare you for what really needs to be done.

Losing weight is simple because…
It’s a very basic equation – use more calories than you consume. It’s really that simple. Watch what you eat and exercise.

We get too caught-up on the minutiae: what kind of exercise we should be doing, the time of day we should be doing it, etc. You should do whatever kind of exercise you find challenging yet interesting enough to stick with. You should workout at whatever time is easiest for you to stick with. Simple as that.

If you’re new to exercise (i.e. haven’t been consistently exercising for at least two months) then that’s really all you need to get started. Don’t over-complicate things by trying to use advanced, scientific training techniques. In the beginning you’ll see results simply by doing something compared to the nothing your were previously doing. The main focus in the beginning should really just be trying to establish working out as a consistent habit.
