Good Strategies for Weight Loss

Five Key strategies for increasing weight loss:

Calorie restriction. At the beginning this starts with eliminating addictions to unhealthy foods. At the top of the list is sugar. It adds to fat stores and is inflammatory. Increased mental health and memory are supported by reducing sugar intake. Then reduce white flour found in bread, pastries, desserts, and many packaged products. Add whole foods like lean protein, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. They are bulky to improve satiety, fibrous to slow conversion of carbohydrates to sugar, and contain nutrients.

Intermittent Fasting. Eating within time windows will give digestion more time to rest and the body the opportunity to burn fat for fuel. A 16-hour window would have you eating breakfast at 8:30, lunch at noon and dinner before 5 p.m. Having a smoothy for breakfast could extend the fasting period four more hours.

Meal Replacement Shakes. A great way to get more nutrients on a calorie restricted diet. Good for the digestion giving it more rest and opportunities to clear the body of bad fats. Helps fight plateaus the metabolism causes during radical weight reduction.

Drink More Water. This is an essential element in weight loss. The body needs water to digest food and will seek the water in food if not properly hydrated. Drink a glass of water before each meal to appease appetite. Drink at least half your body weigh in ounces of water. (a 200-pound person drinks 100 oz.) Shoot for a minimum of 100 oz a day and better to drink a gallon.

Exercise Moderately. Exercise increases the resting metabolism which means the metabolism remains high after you have exercised. Exercise appeases the appetite. Exercise rids the body of inflammation and replenishes with energy boosting fluids. Exercise elevates mood and may reduce cravings for sugar and snacks.

Good Strategies for Building Fitness

Begin an Aerobic Program. Movement increases metabolism and burns more calories. Movement induces the muscles to allow receptors for glucose which is necessary to build stamina. Aerobics build muscle which will power exercise, improve stamina, and aid recovery.

Build Strength. All recreation needs strength in some part of the body. Surfing demands upper body, core, and lower body strength. Pushups are a great out of gym way to build upper body strength and assist the pop up in surfing. Cables, machines, and free weights can all be used for full body strength. Floor exercises can also create full body strength and there are 1,000’s of videos available.

Flexibility. Surfing needs flexibility for the pop up and lack of it is a major hindrance even if the body is strong. The best three exercises for flexibility are burpies, squats and deadlifts. They create strength in the largest muscle groups and flexibility in the hamstrings, buttocks, and lower back.

Combining all these practices and habits in a daily routine will greatly improve health and lifestyle.
