Do You Really Want to Lose That Fat Weight?
It truly boils down to what, when and how much you eat, not how hard you try to work the fat off.
Yes, you need to exercise to improve your health, but be warned: vigorous exercise could lead to weight gain because exercise depletes not just the body's muscles but the brain's self-control "muscle" as well.
We usually feel greater entitlement to eat a bag of chips - or whatever - during that “down” time after we get back home from the gym. This explains why exercise could make you “fatter” — or at least why that torturous four or so hours of exercise a week aren't eliminating all the fat.
It's probably due to the fact that most people are more sedentary during their non-exercise hours than they would be if they didn't exercise with such intensity. If you exercised less strenuously, you’ll probably feel like walking more instead of crashing in front of the television or Internet; you might have more energy to do things, shop for food, cook and then clean instead of ordering a quick greasy burrito, taco, pizza slice or whatever because you worked out “hard”.
So, do the moderate kind of exercise that afterwards enables you to “move around” for the rest of the day and don’t “pig out” on “satisfying foods” after you work out as a kind of “treat reward”.
