The Dynamic Duo: The Combined Power of Diet and Exercise
Fact: you can essentially produce any change in your body by using a combination of diet modifications and different physical training techniques. Reducing your caloric intake while burning more calories will obviously help increase your weight loss odds, but there's more to it than that. Here are some encouraging examples:
1. Did you know that your metabolism is designed to be fueled every two to three hours? Yes, you can manage your weight easier and have better overall health by eating smaller meals five to seven times a day.
2. Medical research shows that the most effective tool for living longer and enjoying better health is eating less. Animals that were allowed to overeat at every meal had more heart disease, diabetes, cancer than the ones that simply ate less. And the one who ate less lived 20 percent longer!
3. Did you know that your metabolism burns at a faster rate for many hours after most conditioning exercises are finished? That means a larger portion of your next meal will be burned off instead of being stored in your body as extra calories if you exercise before.
4. Timing between exercises is important as well as eating particular foods before or after exercise because both can make it easier to create and maintain muscle mass. This means less total exercise is required, creating a less stressful fitness cycle that constantly feeds off itself to ensure that you reach your goals and maintain them once they are achieved.
