Weight/fat loss:some painful truths(and some hope!)

1st part

The cataclysmal information overload on weight/fat loss issues most often leaves people confused.

This is very logical because there are a lot of controversial ,ambiguous and conflicting tips,secrets and recipes on these matters.

There is a real war out there and the loot is the money of the deliberately misinformed,misguided and manipulated people.

Fitness imposters and charlatans try to outbid one another by giving groundless promises and trying to feed unrealistic expectations.

Weight/fat loss industry is a multi million industry and therefore attracts many vultures and hyenas.

I strongly urge you not to fall prey to their mercenary motives!

There are no effortless solutions,no shortcuts,no magical secrets.

If there existed such methods all of us would be sylphids and models!But obviously we are not!!

Instead the problem of obesity is a real plague,an unprecedented menace for the developed western countries!

Am I right or not?

Am I exaggerating?

What really exists is solid knowledge,the power of our minds and the unshakeable faith of a strong character to achieve his wisely targeted weight/fat loss objectives!

In the next entries I will try to give you my best knowledge on weight/fat loss issues. The rest remains for you.I hope you will honor yourselves

First and most important:work it in your mind!Mind dominates the body.Harness your mind ,make it identify itself with the big cause:weight/fat loss!

You cannot rinse down sins,bad habits and mistakes of many years in only one month,can you?

So learn to loathe all unrealistic pledges!Look the other way!

Keep in mind that you will need clever and consistent work.

For the first 2-3 months you will need a plan to work on.

The long-term goal will be the full detachment from plans and the adoption of a self-regulating,active lifestyle.This will happen after you can achieve full exploitation of the super-weapon called "mind".

Though,until that time comes you will need to have a plan!

Ok then!We are ready to embark on the trip to weight/fat loss!

Let's set together a both realisic and ambitious objective: to lose 0.5kg of fat/week

On first thought this target might appear quite modest!

Think it over! This meens a whopping 26 kilo per year!Any comments?

And what if I said you that in order to achieve this "modest" goal you will need to reduce your maintenance caloric intake by an impressive 22%?

This might probably change your view,eh?

Where does this 22% derive from?

I take 2500cal as a maintenance caloric intake for an average person.

0.5kg of fat is equivalent to 7700/2=3850cal/week or 550cal/day.

550 equals to 22% of 2500.

(I take 7700 and not 9000cal per kg of fat because human body fat contains water too)
