Fat Loss Secrets...
The biggest secret is that there is no secret at all... those are the words Mike Boyle used to start off his speech on losing weight. However, that being said, there was a lot I learned about weight loss in general. Besides dieting being the best way to lose weight, weight training and intervals are the most effective way to shed the pounds. That being said, people must do resistance training. I also learned that in order to lose fat you must have muscle, because that is the key thing that burns fat. Mike talked a lot about how to personal train an overweight client and I think that I will be able to apply a lot of what he talked about in my own career. Something that I found interested that he said was that too many people don't want to lift weights because they are afraid they will get too big; however, that takes much more work then they actually realize, and why don't they think that then when they eat so much. People must realize that they must lift to get their metabolism going. The thing that I didn't understand about his talk was the part he added about corn being a grain, and the number one calorie source in America. That surprised me; however, I realize to lose the weight, grains are something that might need to be reduced in the diet.

Hmmm...my plan for the summer will be a little more muscle building...walking and those little weights. Maybe you can make a recommendation for me.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the reason corn is listed as the #1 calorie source in America is because we use corn syrup to sweeten nearly everything...you know the high fructose corn syrup in pop, cereal, sweet snacks, etc.
Talk to you later. Take care~
