If you are embarking on a weight loss program, the subject of exercise is going to arise. The big question is, which one is best?

There are actually two types of exercises you can do: aerobic and anaerobic.

Aerobic is where your exertions cause your heart and lungs to work hard and you breathe deeply. Activities that cause this would be jogging, fast cycling, swimming or brisk walking.

Anaerobic is where your heart and lungs are not unduly taxed, such as using weights, slow cycling or strolling.

Probably the number one requirement is that you choose something you love to do. There is not much point in deciding you are going to use weights, rush out and buy the equipment, and two months later it is all lying idle.

So if a friend tells you they had a wonderful result by doing XYZ and suggest you try it too, just make sure it is something you like doing so much you actually look forward to that activity each day.

Most people enjoy playing sport, so you are more likely to find a pleasurable activity in that arena. Net ball, soccer, volley ball, tennis, cricket, even dancing; the list is endless. So think of one of those activities that you would enjoy and play lots of it.

Aerobic exercise will give a faster weight loss result initially, but muscle burns calories at a much faster rate than fat; so if you elect to use weights and build your muscles, you may find you are better off in the end.

The extra muscle will continue to burn calories even while you are resting or sleeping. Also, anaerobic exercise is very good for stimulating the metabolism.

From the above, it is plain to see that if one were to alternate between the two types, this would give the best possible outcome.
But exercise is only a tiny part of your weight loss efforts. You also need to eat the right foods in the right quantities if you are going to get a result. So let us talk about food for a moment.

The very best type of food to eat of all is raw food, for raw food is living food, it contains “life force” plus having copious quantities of enzymes which are essential for good health. The vitamins and minerals are available too.

The next best type of food is cooked food. The moment you cook food, it becomes “dead food”. The enzymes are killed off at less than half the boiling point of water, and the minerals and vitamins are severely curtailed as well.

Then comes the more undesirable foods such as processed foods, prepared dishes, heat and eat meals, instant this or that and almost everything from the bakery.

The least desirable foods are takeaways, snacks, chippies, nibbles, confectionery, fries, doughnuts, burgers and all soft drinks, especially Coca Cola.

The other major thing you can do to ensure weight loss success is join a group online of other people who have the same problem and the same goal. Harvard University have proved that weight loss can spread from person to person.
