Answers to frequently asked questions
Q: I want to lose weight and I have been working out, but I have yet to see any
results what should I do?
A: Well, there is something wrong with your exercise plan and or your diet. What I
suggest is getting a Fitness Journal and writing down our daily activities and meals.
This will help you to see exactly where your problem might stem from. Getting the
visual is one of the very best ways to get your fitness quest
moving in the right direction.
Q: I have managed to lose some weight and I am looking and feeling better. But I
just can’t seem to lose these last few pounds what should I do?
A: This is a very common problem. The solution is diversity. It may simply be time
to change up your routine. Try different exercises, less rest between sets, and cross
training are just a few ways to help you keep up the progress and lose those few
extra pounds.
Q: Do you agree with the Atkins Diet? Why? Or why not?
A: To that I say different strokes for different folks. In my opinion the Atkins diet
is a short term diet to be used by obese people. When I say obese I mean those
whom the doctor told them they need to lose some weight to improve their health.
Q: What do you think of low carbohydrate diets?
A: When someone says they are on a low-carb diet, to me this means they are
eating only the right amount of carbohydrates to suit their own particular need. It’s
the carbohydrate less diets that I do not agree with.
Q: How do I know how much protein carbohydrate, and fat I should be getting in
my diet?
A: Good Question. Unfortunately there are many answers to this question and it
again depends on a person’s nutritional needs. To better help you figure it out you
need to know what foods contain what and how much? You also need to know what
proteins carbohydrates and fats do. All carbohydrates are not bad carbohydrates, all
fats are not bad either. Fat helps lubricate joints and provide the body with valuable
components that interact with your body to keep it operational. Carbohydrates are
your body’s primary source of energy. Protein makes up the basic structure and
nutrients found in your muscles, and bone marrow, as well as keeping your immune
system healthy. Without carbohydrates your body will deplete these resources and
you run the risk of developing serious health problems in the future.
Q: Which is better for weight loss cardiovascular or resistance training?
A: Neither! In order to get where you want to be you should always include a
certain amount of both components into your exercise routine. And the amount
depends on your goals, abilities and or limitations.
Q: I used to be heavy. I tried almost every fad diet there is and I have lost a lot of
weight. I am satisfied with that. It’s been over a year now. My problem is that I’m just
not as tone as I’d like to be. What
am I doing wrong?
A: First of all congratulations on your weight loss an accomplishment , losing
weight is not at all easy for most people. Trying different diets until you find what
works for you is certainly a step in the right direction. You may have had to try some
unconventional methods to achieve this goal. Now that you’re there you want to get
back to a normal lifestyle. It’s now time to re-evaluate your goals, again. Are you
getting the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats? Eating a normal healthy
diet, and continuing to exercise daily can help to keep your metabolism high, and
provide your muscle with what they need to keep them strong and continuing to
build. Supplementation might not be all that bad an idea either depending on your
goals.
