Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight by Exercising!

No matter how much money and time you spend, you are not going to lose real fat as long as you keep hating exercises. Truth to be told, there are fad diets which claim to help you achieve quick weight loss but offer nothing except water and muscle loss instead!

There are also diet pills which promise to boost your metabolic rate sky high but in reality connect you with several harmful maladies. However, exercise is one faithful friend which always keeps its promise of helping you lose REAL fat! With exercises, you have not one but THREE ways to achieve weight loss!

1. Guaranteed weight loss: Diets come with no guarantee; they may or may not work for you, or even if they work, they may not offer you the promised weight loss results. But exercises are guaranteed to work for almost anyone and everyone, and there is no denying the fact that as long as you maintain your regular workout routine, you would be able to maintain your slim body as well!

2. Permanent weight loss: Usually, the weight you lose with the aid of fad diets or diet pills is not permanent weight loss! With most fad diets and pills you would lose weight by way of water weight loss, and NOT fat loss. Often these diets also cause valuable muscle loss. To add to your woes, the water weight you 'lost' would come back to you as soon as you quit dieting and return to normal eating!

Moreover, since you lost your valuable muscles through dieting, your fat burning capability is also reduced considerably, since the fewer muscles you have, the lower your metabolic rate would be! Obviously you cannot expect to burn fat and lose weight with a low metabolic rate! You can well imagine the end result of following such diets.

On the other hand, the weight you lose with the help of exercises, no matter how trivial it maybe, is bound to be permanent weight loss! Assuming that you would never deviate from leading an active lifestyle, you would NEVER gain back the weight you lost with the help of exercises! This is because unlike fad diets or weight loss pills, exercises burn REAL fat which is the primary source of all your troubles!

3. Forced weight loss: You may think that by starving or crash dieting you would force your body to burn all fat fast; however, the reality is just the opposite! People believe that when the body gets zero supply of carbohydrates (which is its primary source of energy), it would be forced to burn the existing fat deposits in order to produce the required energy!

But in reality your body burns muscles instead of fat. It is a fact that your body loves those fat deposits very dearly no matter how much you may hate them, mainly because it knows that it could use this fat to sustain itself in case a famine occurs in future.

Workouts, on the other hand, force your body to get rid of fat. When you start exercising, the first two or three weeks would be the most difficult periods of your life. You would find it extremely difficult to lift those heavy weights or walk on the treadmill. As such, you won't be able to workout for long enough.

This however offers your body a message that in order to make it easier for you to exercise, it needs to get rid of fat. As you exercise week after week and month after month, your body keeps burning the fat deposits, and the more weight you lose the easier exercising becomes for you! Once you get rid of all the extra fat and build valuable lean muscle mass, you would be able to easily lift almost ten times the amount of weight you might be lifting at present.

Now you need to decide whether you would prefer to lose weight rapidly with fad diets only to become fat all over again sometime later, or do it slowly with workouts and keep your slim figure permanently!
