Slimming Down - Fast!

In the last month my father lost 13.5lbs without one stroke of exercise, without starving himself while still eating out occasionally!

I mention this to prove to you that, while there are numerous benefits to exercising in the immediate, medium and long term, with respect to losing weight, exercise is not particularly necessary. It’s what goes into your mouth (or doesn’t as the case may be) that will likely have an immediate impact.

In his case, he reduced his sugar and starch intake and focused instead on eating vegetables, protein and fats. He told me he got tired of "being here rather than there". He did it while watching his friends tuck into foods that made his mouth water. But he stuck to his plan.

He took his hot soup to lunch in a bulging Thermos flask. He was brutal in not drinking his usual fruit juice and ever drinking only cold water and green tea. He made up his mind to pay the weight loss price now and in next to no time, he had lost half of the weight he wanted.

So many of us put off paying that price but it is observable that the universe favours no one. It makes no exceptions. He reasoned that you will pay the price one way or another and, there being no time like the present, he decided to lose his extras now rather than putting if off for a future date.

Now, he’d be the first to accept that while the fat disappears from where ever it can disappear from, losing weight like this does little to give you a particularly healthy look. Neither does it offer you any particular level of fitness or extra aerobic capacity or strength.

So he considers initial weight loss to be a necessary step towards being healthier– it does, after all, gives great feedback and a whiff of success – but for a toned, slender, streamlined, strengthened body with great aerobic capacity and strength, exercise is what you need. There really is no substitute for exercise, and if you live a mostly sedentary existence, doing something recreational that involves movement.

Looking good so that you feel good, however, requires a bit of planning, commitment and motivation and the majority of those that succeed do so with a buddy or with a personal trainer. Getting someone to bounce ideas from, to give ideas and to provide you with the motivation and the knowledge you need, and in some cases the equipment to make your goals a reality, is the biggest benefit of getting yourself a personal trainer.

Exactly how a personal trainer can help you by slimming down though is the subject of another post.
