Things you need to take to the gym

Drive, comfortable clothes, great nutrition and consistency. If you have the drive to lose weight or gain muscle then you will succeed. You may have set back a long you ride to health but with good drive to succeed you will. How do you get drive if you made a decision to change your lifestyle that’s drive, how do you keep it going keep the benefits that you are gaining like feeling better, more stamina for you and your family and better brain function.
Comfortable clothes is essential to a good workout because you want to be flexible and have full movement. You probably don’t want to feel confidment like you are adding more weight from trying to move from your clothes. My store sells great flexible clothes to exercise in.
Great nutrition to me is probably the most important. Eating wholesome food is so important for your muscles, mind and body, fat control, vitamins and minerals. With good nutrition it’s like fine tuning yourself for optimal performance. As for me I have some fruit after a workout some people have protein drinks or some other post workout snacks.
Consistency is important because the more you keep going it becomes a habit which is a good thing. Out of habit forming exercise and nutrition is one of the best you can have. Things not to bring to the gym cell phones or anything that can distract you from your exercise, plus some people get mad if you wasting time on something they are wanting to use. Remember a bad workout is better than no workout.

Health and fitness

Along though life I’ve been healthy, unhealthy, fat, skinny, muscular, depressed, fit and had goals of health. I’ve trained fitness, studied dietitian, athlete and health. I see a lot of things posted on the Internet about fitness and health I don’t agree with it like they are rewriting things and changing a few words some are outdated. Balanced diet I don’t follow because every body is different, there is too much fruit and fat involved along with carbs. I’m vegan so I don’t eat meat, dairy, fish and other animal products so the balanced diet doesn’t work for me . A variety of food is good, proportion is the key especially sugar, salt and fats. Healthy starts with a great diet it is essential for good health, mix diet with exercise for even better effects. I do not tell anyone that vegan, or animal products are better, but I was a long time animal eater and switched to vegan and I can tell a very big difference. If you do eat animal products mix more vegetables in your diet. Some people have medical problems that diet and exercise will not cure but may help. People on medication may have trouble with certain foods because of their medications. Take it slow and learn your body.

Why diets don’t always work

One question about weight loss is this, if you’re overweight compared to a skinny person, does that mean the skinny person is healthier than the overweight person no it doesn’t diet, what you eat, how much you eat and consistency are some of the factors. I don’t believe the old balanced diet is correct anymore fats, carbs and grains are not right plus it doesn’t give proportion amounts or calories. Larger amounts of green vegetables and smaller or no meat and watch how much grain you eat is a good diet. Most of your fat should come from vegetables like avocado and coconut to name a few, fruits need to be limited because of the sugar.
Now to tackle the question about some diets and why they fail. All of the fad diets restrict some food and increase other food which is not healthy and your body is going to fight back. You may lose a few lbs but will gain it back quicker then you lost it. I’m vegan I have seen that called a fad diet, with me it’s a lifestyle not a diet. Healthy eating for life is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Being vegan which I don’t eat any animal products mostly beans,greens and fruit well is it healthy in my opinion yes, I have gotten rid of all the sickness I had lost weight and feel great with no pain and I am 54 years old. Then there are a lot of drugs promising that you will loss weight most don’t work and the ones that might work what are the side effects of the drug is it worth it to lose a few lbs. I have met some people who never cared about being healthy until they started having medical problems. These people rely on drugs and doctors to help them live. It’s never too late to be healthier, start while you are young enough don’t rely on fads and drugs reward yourself with health for your body and brain. Eating at the same time every day can increase weight lose eating a small breakfast, bigger lunch and a small dinner or two regular meals a day helps to control your body weight.
