Stay slim all seasons and feel the difference. Staying slim for all seasons can be hard as it is very easy to gain a few pounds during the winter months due to the long nights, comfort eating and too much turkey and wine at Christmas. |
If you want to be slim all year round it is important to be consistent
in your day to day eating habits.
This doesn’t mean eating the same foods each and every day but rather
having a level of calorie intake that doesn’t vary very much.
Having a consistent calorie intake that is sufficient for the body’s needs
will prevent it from storing fat.
It is possible to calculate how many calories your body needs each day
by working out your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).
To stay slim all year round it is important to recognize when you have
made any small gains in weight.
Small gains in weight are much easier to deal with then large gains so
it recommended that you weigh yourself at least once a week.
Regular weighing will help prevent small weight gains turning into large
ones unexpectedly.
Having a regular exercise program will help you to stay slim as well as
having other benefits.
Exercise improves strength and flexibility, boosts the metabolism as well as building muscle tissue in the body.
A combination of strength training such as lifting light weights and cardio-vascular exercise will help create a lean toned body.
People who are slim generally have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer than people who are overweight or obese.
Losing weight is a great way of boosting levels of self confidence and self-esteem as well as improving overall levels of health and fitness.
