Caught in a Circle of Fat Loss and Health Confusion?

As a member of a popular fitness center for a few years, I noticed countless others discouraged with their fat burning exercise programs and dietary eating practices, and with their working out so hard and long with virtually no results to show for it.

Several of my own friends and relatives would talk about this new program or product they had just shelled out cash for that was going to be the key to their fat loss or fitness goals. They were so thrilled about it and couldn't wait to get started.

Then, several weeks later, the same optimistic folks who were once so excited about their new plan to burn fat and get a new body became thoroughly depressed. It was difficult to see.

I'd ask them how their fat burning strategy was functioning and they'd tell me that it appeared fairly good at first, but they didn't get the results they felt were promised them. They quickly became tired of following the daily regime and discovered that following the harsh eating rules exasperating at times. So they switched onto the next plan.

Even worse, they became so annoyed with following these fitness gurus' plans, that they fell even deeper into detrimental eating routines once they ceased using the plan. Stuffing became their only form of satisfaction. That's the wrong route away from maximum fat burning.

What's worse is that these people were following the normally recommended exercise and fad diets that were so popular. They were attempting what everyone else was trying in order to take off fat fast.

After speaking with a lot of these people and asking them about their exercise routines, I noticed one common premise that kept popping up in our conversations... they were focused on the short term... their emphasis was wrong. They weren't thinking of lifelong health and fitness, but instead they were talking about burning fat and getting in shape for a wedding or "swimsuit season".

And, basically, they were also doing their exercise in a less than optimal manner. And then I also noticed this with many others at the gym I worked out in. They just appeared to lack the fire or intensity in their calorie burning regimes which I knew could turn their routines from nothing to something literally overnight.

But you know, you can almost not blame them, and you definitely shouldn't blame yourself if you've fallen into the cycle of trendy exercise and diet programs. We all want to accomplish what we know in our hearts we're capable of so badly, and that's why we're such easy prey to this "get fit quick" mindset.

Most people are approaching health and fitness in the exact opposite way that they should, and they're not going to burn fat because of it. If you continually think of using nutrition and exercise as ways to drop a couple of pounds, or to get in shape for summer or a wedding, you're going to be frustrated with your results.

If you think of nutrition, exercise, and rest as unrelated things, you're going to be dissatisfied with your fat burning and fitness results. If you think you must spend hours a week in the gym or follow some strange weird eating strategy, you're going to be frustrated with your results.

What all of these old approaches do is put you into the fat burning and fitness cycle of confusion that so many are trapped in today. If instead, you choose to forget what you thought you knew, and re-start with the proper strategy, with the approach that concentrates on making changes in your daily life long term, you'll immediately improve your results by an order of magnitude.

When your methodology includes combining correct exercise that takes very little of your time, nutrition the way nature intended you to eat that is straightforward to grasp and follow, and the rest and healing that is most important to lasting vigor and energy, you'll experience an awakening of both mind and body. Plus you'll lose more fat, as well.

If you choose the path followed most often by those seeking to improve upon them selves, you'll most likely end up like most of them. Befuddled, aggravated, dejected, burnt out, injured, sick, or worse. Did I mention very discontented with their fat burning results in addition?

Instead, you can decide to adopt a lifestyle that includes brief, progressive, and intense resistance training, eating a diet filled with nutrient rich foods, drinking lots of water, and getting plenty of quality sleep and rest. But understand that when you do, you'll be joining the select few who understand that one of the true keys to life long fitness and fat burning is not found on a fad diet or on the shelf of your local health foodstore.
