Hello guys.
To keep it short - I'm over weight and I'm sick of my family taunting me so I want to lose some weight, and I'm wondering if it's viable to do this with in house exercise?
If so, what regime should I use? I am seriously unfit, so only a bit of exercise leaves me feeling wrecked.
I used to be skinny, but I suddenly kept feeling hungry all the time, still do now, so I guess I over ate and it made me put on weight. I'm assumming losing weight will make me feel less hungry.
So is it viable to lose weight with in house exercise and proper diet?
Cheers
your diet, sort your diet, the weight will go, don't sort out your diet and exercise will not help you at all.
Loosing weight is 99% about the right diet and 1% exercise, getting fit is 85% exercise and 15% diet, ok I made up those numbers, but they aren't far wrong.
I've yet to see someone eat like crap but exercise loads loose weight, yet loads and loads of people have not lifted a finger in exercise, yet lost stone after stone.
Proper diet, with more protein, more quality fats and less crap carbs will leave you feeling fuller and less hungry. Its carbs, especially high GI cards(white anything, and a lot of stuff listed as wholemeal isn't great for you either), that boost your blood sugar, and crash it hard, its the crash that causes hunger. Carbs also absorb a lot of water, for every gram of carb you eat your body will store 4 grams of water, so eating carbs leaves you very thirsty, and its a very very similar feeling(or can be) to hunger, which just adds to it.
Drink LOTS of water, because anything that is thirst and not hunger, will go away, and it will also fill you up, making your brain think your stomach is full, causing hunger to go away, and will also make your body work better anyway.
Good fats, and protein are things your body gets sustained energy without the sugar lows, and make your body feel full, for much longer.
EDIT:- Skipping is a great idea, but depending on how heavy you are, isn't great on the joints and is incredibly hard, more so than running, so you can find yourself very disheartend doing it, while you could run much further and feel better. Motivation is pretty important and feeling like you're getting somewhere. Skipping is an uber exercise for fitness though, but its not what will make you loose weight.
