Do Quick-fix Diets Work?
Thursday, July 5, 2012 - 11:22
- Join a cycling or running club (or recruit a friend)
- Walking on your lunch break
- If you can't manage the 30 mins a day exercise requirement, go with 15, any exercise is better than nothing
- Sign up for a class: yoga, pilates, martial arts or zumba
Safe, maintainable weight loss is 1-2 lbs/week, by lowering your calorie intake by just 250 calories and increasing your daily exercise will average a loss of about 1 lb per week. It is also recommended that you speak to your doctor or dietician before starting any significant weight loss program.
There really is no substitute for eating healthy and getting regular exercise; joining a weight loss program/group helped people stick to their exercise regimen and reported greater weight loss so grab a friend and get outside!
