Successful weight loss without the yo-yo effect
If you want to lose weight and keep it off permanently, you need to change your eating habits. These tips will help you to reach and maintain your ideal weight.
If you want to lose weight successfully, it's not enough to just change your eating habits. Physical activity is essential to get rid of those extra pounds. The good news is that not only will you burn more calories during exercise, but your physical activity will also help you lose weight afterwards.
Regular exercise increases your metabolic rate and helps you burn more calories. It also improves your overall energy metabolism because muscle is more metabolically active than fat. Your basal metabolic rate is elevated for longer periods of time, and you burn more calories even at rest.
Regular exercise makes it easier to lose fat and harder to regain it. Endurance sports such as biking, jogging, walking, swimming, cross-country skiing, and inline skating are particularly good. Two to three times a week for 30 to 60 minutes is ideal.
