(1) A common problem with working out is that many times people want a quick fix.
5 day buns of steel
10 day six packs
Lose 30 pounds in 30 days...
THESE MAY BE POSSIBLE IF A PERSON IS ALREADY IN TOP SHAPE, BUT FOR THE REST OF US IT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
At least it won't happen in a HEALTHY manner.
The first realization that I can stress is DO NOT PURCHASE OR GIVE IN TO QUICK FIXES. They are scams and they are not usually healthy for you.
INSTEAD try to make small lifestyle changes one at a time. Then you will be living a healthier lifestyle. The problem with trying to get fit quick is that once you actually get fit, if it works, you will go back to how you normally were due to an unhealthy lifestyle.
(2) Another common theme THAT IS MOST HELPFUL is
ACTIVATING THE AFTERBURN EFFECT
Some people may want you to pay to learn this. DON'T PAY! I WILL TELL YOU FOR FREE!
WHAT IS IT? It refers to how and why weight loss can be efficient.
As I understand it, and as I have experienced, your body will respond best to regular and routine workouts.
If you want to work out 5 hours a week, you will be better off stretching out the segments over the full week. Maybe one hour each day. BUT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO DO 5 HOURS ON SUNDAY ONLY! Does that make sense? You want to active the afterburner. Meaning within about 24 hours your body responds best to the next workout. You will see results quicker if you workout regularly.
AND DO CARDIO!
CARDIO IS A MUST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT IN YOUR CORE REGIONS!!! (your middle, like your belly)
CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO.
And you also want to strengthen the muscles you use during cardio so you can push yourself more and more
AS DAFT PUNK SAYS: HARDER, BEST, FASTER, STRONGER.

(3) The last tip, which is actually most important is DIET! But I do not mean stop eating. Diet is just a couple of things:
-portion control-regulating the ratios of FAT/ PROTEIN/CARBS that you eat.
I will talk specifically of this later, but to keep it basic...
CARBS: should always be like :brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta...
NO SUGARS (like in coffee and tea and soda and basically any drink, CAKES, COOKIES, DONUTS ETC=NO NO NO
FATS SHOULD BE VERY LOW (unless it is like avocado or something natural) FATS SHOULD BE ABOUT 4-5%. ANY FATS IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS IS USUALLY A NO NO.
Keep meats lean and stick to fish, turkey, and chicken IN GENERAL.
PROTEINS: low fat, NOT FRIED OR DEEP FRIED, nuts/ some veggie meats/ legumes/ beans= GOOD!
Here is how I see it:
If you can find it in nature or make it from SCRATCH from something you can pick outdoors someplace then it is generally okay and likely good for you.
If it ain't natural like instant ANYTHING ALMOST... if it comes preserved and it has chemical names in the ingredients then those are the things to put right back on the grocery shelf and keep on walking to the organic or fresh produce aisles.
GOOD STORES TO SHOP: Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joes. If you want an item that comes in a box or a bag you should likely get the organic version.
