Try to set a personal record or change your workout in order to maximize results. I know from experience that this principle works, and should guide your workouts as well.

So, the next time you’re training, don’t be complacent. Push yourself, and don’t waste an opportunity to realize your potential.

However, when pushing yourself, be safe, and do not sacrifice your form for additional weight.

How to Lose Weight with "Portion Control & Exercise"

How to Lose Weight with "Portion Control & Exercise"

One of the key ways to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight is through portion control. Research has shown that Americans often underestimate how many calories they are consuming each day by as much as 25%.  You may have been one of the millions who have tried the “Low-carbohydrate (diet) which has come and gone, but portion control is here to stay.

Portion control is key to weight control.  By cutting back on how much of each food you eat at every meal, your calorie intake drops. Instead of being overwhelmed by the idea of a diet and swearing off your favorite foods, strive to control the serving sizes of the foods you already eat.

“It’s an approach you can live with your whole life".

Eating out presents problems because of the trend to supersize serving portions. What to do? Request a half order or plan to take half your serving home for the next day.

In the United States, about 650 people out of 1,000 are overweight or obese. Healthwise, this means they’re more likely to suffer from life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Practice portion control, and exercise!

Here are 4 reasons why the human body adapts to our workouts that can contribute to slow weight loss.

1.  Physiological effects: a decrease in metabolic rate after we reduce our calorie intake, caused from loss of protein & hormonal changes.

2.  Exercise effects, our energy system when we continually do the same exercise-less calories are burned because it’s no longer the same challenge as it was when we were first learning.  Now our energy expenditure is less and we burn less calories.

3.  Exercising too hard too soon forces cells to burn more carbohydrates and less fat.

4.  Rapid reduction of food intake triggers starvation mode lowers metabolism quickly Skipping meals too often may produce intense food cravings caused by lower blood sugar levels.
