People in this day and age choose to live a healthy lifestyle by exercising as much and eat healthy food choices. However, after doing all these things, many are still not satisfied with the shape of their body and they often ask themselves, "What am I doing wrong?"
As per Stuff, a personal trainer at Sydney's F45 Ashley Besse said that everyone's health is different and that everyone's body requires a different level of nutrients. What might work for one person might not work for the other person. That is the exact reason why some diets work for one person but it might not work for another.
Besse said that keeping a food diary to keep track of your food intake is a good practice. There is no need to put too much effort on the calories of the food, but also look at how much energy you're using for your activities. No matter how healthy the meal is, it should be balanced by the activities being done.
When talking about exercise, there is no such thing as wrong exercise. One important thing to remember when exercising is to strike a balance between weights and cardio. Many people especially women think that by doing cardio it can help lose weight faster. This is proven to be wrong according to Besse. A good combination of cardio and weights will help anyone become healthier. Ideally, it is recommended to have at least two or three sessions of weights and and two sessions of cardio at 30 to 40 minute every day of the week.
Like balancing exercise, eating enough is also important. Cutting down food intake would surely make someone lose weight, but it will also lose muscle mass, which will make things unbalanced. This means the weight it harder to lose because fewer muscles mean, burning less energy while taking a rest.
Eating on time is also part of this magical process. In recent years, we were advised to eat carbs only in the morning, however, Besse stressed that eating carbs at night is also advisable. People who eat this way find they can sustain healthy eating for longer, rather than slipping into deprivation and binge cycles.
