Notes on Weight Loss

Weight loss will occur when calories used exceeds calories consumed. Exercise burns calories.
Your RMR (resting metabolic rate) will increase as your lean body mass (muscle weight) increases. Exercise increases metabolic activity.
If your weight loss program leads to loss of lean body mass your RMR will decrease as well, thus the chances of regaining the weight are drastically increased. Exercise reduces body fat and increases lean muscle mass.
Exercise helps improve self-confidence and self-discipline.

Any weight loss program is based on burning more calories than consumed because the body will turn to the stored fat for energy. The smaller your muscles are, the fewer calories your body burns—in other words, the slower your metabolism is. Weight loss requires a change in habits and that’s hard for some people. Remember that weight loss cannot take place in a few days. The most successful weight loss clients I have are the one’s who are patient and understand the time and commitment involved in changing their habits and losing weight. It will happen when you make the commitment to do what is necessary. Eat healthier foods and exercise more.

Trust me when I tell you that you can do it. Develop an attitude of positive expectancy—believe you will achieve your goal weight and half your battle is won. Attack the problem with a positive mind-set and stop worrying about it. The best cure for worry is action. Get fitness and nutritional counseling to help you stay motivated and keep you on track, then hold on and watch the body work its magic.
