By Michael Lucas

In today’s world, there are millions of people who are facing the problem of obesity. In fact, obesity has become a disease that is taking the lives of many people. It is also leading to many diseases like blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. Obesity affects the motivational level and sometimes distracts fat people from their goals.

So, people who are fats are busy in various kinds of weight loss programs. Anybody who is unhappy with their current size and shape is opting for weight loss programs. The best thing which can work for a fat person is exercise and balance diet. Exercising is the best way to lose weight. The benefits of exercise are immense. With balanced diet and right kind of exercises, you will be able to keep those unwanted pounds off. The most important point you should keep in mind is that diets alone and crash diets in themselves are the worst possible choice if you want to loose diet and keep it off permanently. In fact, there is a huge industry which is selling different kinds of crash diets – the most popular among the list are Atkins Diet and South Beach Diet. These crash diets benefit you in the short run but it badly affects your overall health system in the long run.

The first and foremost thing you should do in your weight loss schedule is to change your eating habits. Start eating smaller portions of food or if you want to eat a full plate, eat only 2/3 of a plate instead. Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content. Don’t eat heavy meals late in the evening or the body won’t have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body. Always eat balanced diet comprising of proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins. If you love sugar in Tea or Coffee, substitute aspartame for sugar and make it a point to drink skimmed milk instead of full cream milk. Drink lots of water during the day and before doing and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glass of water per 24 hours. Eat more fibres i.e. pulses, grams, nuts, brown rice, cereals and fresh fruits. Eat more vegetable as part of your diet.

Even if you are taking a balanced diet; there is still need to do exercises. It is necessary to warm up your body before exercising and at the end of exercise, you need to cool down. Start by aerobic exercises or by stretching exercises if you are in gym. Aerobics reduces fat and gives you a lean body. Work-out in gyms reduces your weight and also gives you stronger muscles. Do exercise at least thrice a week.
