I ran into an interesting article by Harvard Health Publications today regarding slow vs fast weight loss click here to read.
Basically they found that obese women who lose weight fast can keep it off just as well as those who go more slowly. Why is this something to talk about? Well most people want to do something where they see results fast. Seeing the scale move or your clothes fitting better faster always keeps someone motivated.
So what do they suggest? Exercise first. Getting your body moving will usually create a deficit in calories. Also nutrition plays a big role too. While there is some debate on what type of nutrition plan one should follow, the fastest way to lose weight is by restricting carbs like breads, pasta, sweets, and by increasing protein and veggies.
They biggest hurdle is sticking to your positive lifestyle changes. A lot of times friends, family and coworkers can derail our efforts. So having a support system to keep you motivated is crucial.
That's what's so great about Team Beachbody. When you purchase a workout system, you get a nutrition guide and a free coach. A coach is key in helping you set and reach goals.
