Beginner surfers have many tasks to learn but one is Losing Weight to Improve their Surfing. Beginners find that they could improve their strength, flexibility, and stamina. One thing that improves each is losing weight.
There is a power to weight ratio discussed in surfing in which the surfer has to have the power to lift his body off the board. If you watch advanced surfers in videos, you will see the execution seems effortless and smooth. Advanced surfers spend time cross training to get stronger and leaner to make paddling easier and pop ups effortless.
Losing Dramatic Weight
Losing dramatic weight or a few pounds begins with the same practices. The best first step is eliminating the high dense calorie foods from the diet that usually include white flour, sugar, salt, and bad oils. This leaves a big opening for adding low calorie, non-dense calorie, and healthy ingredients.
The second step to be conscious of is the availability of high dense calories. We have them in our house. We drive through fast food places to get them, they are lurking at the office, and they are our go to energy and hunger satisfying snacks.
Losing weight will entail more planning, shopping, food preparation, and carrying of low calorie snacks. At first, the brain will fight every effort. The brain does not want you to lose weight. Overweight and obese people have more difficult with weight because the brain has a higher set satiety point. The leptins in circulation cannot fight the brains urgency to eat more. There is leptin resistance. In lean people, leptin can help reach satiety quicker.
Getting to Bland Foods
The quickest way to lean and to end suffering and cravings is to eat bland foods. There is little food reward for the brain in bland foods and satiety is reached quicker. This means you eat less. When you can get to the point of having no cravings, weight loss becomes much easier. This may take a month, but it can be noticeable in a few weeks if you eliminate the high reward (high dense calorie) foods.
I found in the process of losing 40 pounds in 5 months that the task became easier and part of my lifestyle. Once you are used to eating in the correct manner, there is no longer the suffering. In the process, I set even a lower weight target because I enjoyed the challenge, found it was easy, and loved the results. My pop ups were easier and my oxygen uptake on bike rides noticeably improved.
Leaner is better and much more fun.
