You can and probably will lose weight with a diet program of your choice, when you stick with it for two weeks or longer. You can lose even more weight when you combine exercise with your diet program of choice! You might be saying to yourself, "but I hate to exercise." I'm really not all that fond of exercising myself, but I found, that if you start slow, and gradually increase your activity over time, it's not so bad. If you are starting a new diet program, I highly recommend, that you combine some sort of exercise or physical activity with the diet program of your choice.
The physical activity you choose, doesn't have to be that much at first. If you can gradually increase you activity over time, you will be able to shed pounds quicker and better tone your body. Ideally, it should be something that you enjoy or have an interest in. Some suggestions for a physical activity for you are: walking, jogging, skating, swimming, golf, basketball, racquetball, aerobics, skiing, weight lifting, exercise classes at your local gym or community center, and the list goes on and on.
It also is a great idea to have a partner to work out with. It could be your significant other, friend, co-worker or just somebody you met at the gym or you local community center. It is much easier to stay motivated and keep at it, when you have somebody or a group of people, to participate with, in your chosen sport or activity. I found a group of people at my local community center to play racquetball with this winter. This has really helped me stay physically active and motivated.
Before starting any new physical activity, especially if you haven't been very active recently, you should check with your physician before beginning. It is advisable to start very slow with any new physical activity, especially if it's a brand new activity for you, or you haven't recently done that particular activity. Failing to heed this advice and overdoing it right away, you may find that your body and muscles are so sore, you'll have to lay off for a while. Believe me, I know from personal experience what can happen when you overdo it at the beginning. I once played racquetball for two hours straight when I hadn't played for over a year. I wasn't a pretty site, I could barely move my body without pain for a week!
What works for many people is, after being on a diet program for two. three, or four weeks, is then, take a break from the diet for a week or two. I know it can be hard for people to stick with a particular program for months at a time. This little tip can really work wonders if you take the following piece of advice to heart! The key to keep on losing weight, or holding steady, when you take a break from your diet program, is to not stop with your physical activity. If you can remain steady with you physical activity or even increase it somewhat, this will greatly increase your chances of keeping off the pounds you lost. Also keep in mind, you don't want to overdo it with your eating, but do enjoy some of the foods you've been missing, but enjoy them in moderation!
Another tip is, whatever diet program you choose, is to choose one that is not too rigid, and offers flexibility with it. A Diet program that offers "cheat days" can work wonders especially when combined with physical activity. Cheat days will help you stay motivated and stick with your program.
Another thing I've neglected to mention so far, is that most people will find that they will begin to have more energy after being on a diet program for a few weeks, when combined with physical activity. I'm not going to lie to you, the first couple of weeks can be tough, but once your body becomes accustomed to the changes from your diet program and physical activity, you will probably notice, that you do in fact have much more energy. You also will begin to feel so much better about yourself, as you begin to shed pounds and get in better shape! In addition, after a few weeks of dieting and exercise, you will probably begin to sleep much better. That's just another benefit of dieting and exercising!
Another good idea is to plan your physical activity ahead of time. By coincidence, the other day I was watching the Humana Challenge PGA Golf Tournament (formerly known as The Bob Hope Desert Classic), which is played in Palm Springs, CA. The announcer was saying that Bob Hope used to set aside an hour each day for walking. You might not be able to set aside this much time each day, but it is a great idea to set aside periods of time and plan your physical activity and workouts! Remember, when you plan ahead, the odds are much greater, that you will succeed. Oh and by the way, Bob Hope lived to be over 100 years old! Also it will definitely help to prepare the foods and meals from your diet program ahead of time. So do yourself a favor and plan you activities and meals ahead of time for your success!
I'm sure you can make some of these tips work for you! I wish you well in your journey to lose weight, feel better about yourself, look better, and to reduce buttocks and thighs, or any other area of your body. Also, once you get in the habit of combining dieting and exercise, I'm sure you will begin to have more energy, feel better about yourself, and look better!
