Four Big Weight Loss No-Nos

by Greg Landry

I've worked with hundreds of people who were interested in losing weight. Over the years I've noticed four areas that I believe are particular hindrances to weight loss. If your goal is to be successful at losing weight and keeping it off, avoid the "big 4" no-nos.

#1 Big No-No: Not exercising on a daily basis. Daily exercise sends your metabolism through the roof! I have seen VERY FEW people who are not very regular exercisers, lose weight AND keep it off.

Losing weight and maintaining that loss can be very difficult. However, both can be made considerably easier with regular exercise, preferably in the morning.

If you're interested in losing fat, you're objective is to create a daily caloric deficit. For example, If you're consuming 1700 calories per day, and expending 2000 calories per day, your caloric deficit is 300 calories. Losing a pound of fat requires a deficit of 3500 calories. So, to lose two pounds per week would require a daily deficit of 1000 calories.

So, if you'd like to increase your daily caloric deficit, you have two options:

1. To decrease your caloric intake by eating fewer calories, or,

2. To increase your caloric expenditure via more activity / exercise. However, you cannot decrease your daily caloric intake much lower than 1200 to 1500 or so without potentially creating health and metabolism problems.

In fact, many people's metabolism (basal metabolic rate) is so slow from years of inactivity and dieting, that they are only burning fewer than 1500 calories per day. Without exercise, they would have to decrease their daily caloric intake to unhealthy levels to lose weight. And, a caloric intake that's too low only creates more metabolism problems and a vicious cycle of more weight gain.
