However, if you are one of those people, and truly determined to control their weight, which may have been convinced to add a certain degree of exercise to help you lose more weight. Too often, while the program is not as horrible as I thought, still it is not part of your day that will look forward to most
Then, the worst thing that happens. Even after sticking with the plan of exercises for a time, step on the scale and; What is this?! He has not lost one pound - or all you have lost is a pound
We all know the feeling of disappointment of not getting the results that we expected after an effort to lose weight, either despite a healthier diet and exercise. Takes many to give up to make weight loss forever
Why you not lost weight after exercise?
The good news is that, if you have given a proper exercise program a good attempt, and did not obtain any part, which is not only. It is very common. So much so that the scientists studied the phenomenon to find out why it happened
As with anything related to weight loss, there are many contributing factors. However, two of them are much more frequent in repeated studies
They underestimate we how many calories we eat
Study after study shows that people underestimate the amount you eat and, perhaps worse, the frequency with which they deceive. Even when people stick to healthy food, which often give an extra Apple or a handful of nuts here there
We tend to think that, because the food is healthier, we can eat more of the same, or as much as you like. But you can eat everything, regardless of how good that is for you
But when we reward ourselves for extra hard work with an unhealthy deal can do even more damage. 25% of the 3,400 people surveyed in fast-food restaurants to underestimate the amount of calories for a minimum of 500 calories (20% to 25% of the recommended daily caloric intake of an adult)
The calories we overestimate burning during exercise
However, other error repeated in our calculations for weight loss, continue to believe that it burns more calories during the exercise of what we actually do. A study by the University of Ottawa, urged participants to eat the number of calories that thought that they burn during a workout. The number of calories that are burned consistently ate two or three times
Imagine that you are a burst of energy and was able to ride a bike for 10 kilometres. That is quite an achievement, especially for someone who is not willing to exercise. It is worth celebrating with a little treat. But it's easy to go overboard in a food reward. To reach what they believed to be something that is small enough to not do too much harm, while being a little nicer added to complete a long journey: a single slice of pepperoni pizza. That's right, right? It is not exaggeration of it and won - rode only 10K!
But that pizza slice of pepperoni, only 107 grams, has almost as many calories (285) as recorded riding 10 K (300 - for a 160 pound man)
Reward yourself with food stops
We love food. We are looking for any excuse to eat. Like having a big dinner after a workout. And rarely rewarding us with a stalk of broccoli additional
Instead of thinking about a gift of edible, as reward for a bit of exercise, try to think of another way to reward yourself, how to get a new suit for the thinnest
The exercise can be an important part of any program of weight control and healthy lifestyle, even if you are not a natural "Sportsman"
