How Can You Get the Fastest Six Pack Abs Possible? (Part 2) :
The bottom line is, no woman needs to fear looking like a bodybuilder
just because she picks up a few weights. In fact, this concern actually
often simply masks a lack of desire to take action.
Although
exercise is important, the importance of a good diet cannot be
discounted. The simple fact is that if you take in more calories than
you burn, you will gain weight.
To lose a pound of fat you need
to burn some 3500 calories more than you take in. That doesn't happen
quickly, so forget about trying to drop 15 pounds in one month. Slow and
steady is by far the best course of action.
Furthermore,
research done at Cornell University suggests that not all calories are
the same. Cutting calories from fat is more important than cutting other
kinds of calories. In one study, people could eat as much fat as they
liked, as long as they carefully counted total calories. The other group
had to restrict their intake of fat, but could eat as much as they
wanted otherwise. The low-fat group actually lost twice as much weight
as a high fat group after 11 weeks.
A dietary excess of only 80
calories -- the amount in a slice of bread -- will cause a sedentary man
to gain at least 13 pounds in five years. However, this is also the
amount he would expend during a 1 mile stroll. Therefore, he can keep
himself trim by walking 15 minutes to the office and back instead of
taking the car.
On the other hand, keep in mind that to lose a
pound of fat, you need to burn some 3500 calories more than you take in.
That doesn't happen quickly, so forget about trying to drop 15 pounds
in one month. Slow and steady is by far the best course of action.
