Skinny is not cool

Most people, magazines and blogs talk about how one should lose weight or lose those extra pounds to look their best. Not true.

People have different body structures, according to which their body is going to be a certain way, no matter how hard one exercises or how much one fasts. Thus the thing to do would be accepting one's body and bone structure and at the same time realizing that skinny is not the way to be. Size zero models should be nobody's inspiration. One can look their best only if they have toned and fit bodies - and not if they're simply skinny.

Just Do It!

How many times have you looked into the mirror and tucked your tummy in just to feel like you have washboard flat abs? Or how many times you stop to check out your arms each time you pass a shopping window or a mirror to measure its thickness? The truth is, we all do it; and then crib about it! But we are just too lazy to go to through those weight management procedures that require complex diet charts and back breaking yoga exercises or even getting up from bed and hit the treadmill. But here is the reality check---there is no easy way of doing it. If you want to look good the next time you look into the mirror, you’ve just got to push yourself and motivate yourself enough to lose those extra pounds. Most importantly, it’s just not about how you look—it’s also about how you feel and with the flab gone, life is happy and its sunshine on your pretty lovely face. So just do it!

Tips for losing weight

A methodology to an effective weight loss would involve a perfect diet consisting of low calories and increasing physical activity. The only proven safe method is to burn much more calories than you consume. You could achieve this by either reducing the calorie intake or increasing the energy expenditure.

One pound of fat roughly contains 3,500 calories and hence person should consume about 3,500 fewer calories per week or by reducing the daily intake by 500 calories per day. If this seems impossible, physical activity could be another approach as it contributes significantly to weight loss. Combining both these strategies is the perfect solution to a weight loss regime.
