Is exercising to much effort?

You know you should be increasing your physical activity, but for most people that raises a red flag. Going to the gym for a workout seems to be too much effort. And even if you are motivated and get started with a training program, unfortunately there is a big chance that you will find excuses and give up soon if you are not really into that kind of workout anyway.

Look into alternative exercise options

Therefore it is crucial to find some activity that you like and that once you got started with your new exercise program you will feel good about it, have some fun while doing it. Maybe it even involves a bit of competition, like playing tennis for example. Other rather prefer team sports like handball, soccer or even bowling. Exercising does not necessarily mean that you need to go to the gym, just that you move your body and break a little sweat. Having fun while doing any kind of sport you will even build and increase your motivation while working out and burning some extra calories.

Are you looking for the “all you can eat diet”?

One thing all the diet schemes have in common is that they will reduce your daily calorie intake. No way around. To lose weight you simply need to eat less calories than you burn despite all promises that you can still have all your favorite foods and never will feel hungry. Yes, you can have your favorite foods once in a while or tiny amounts, and it’s true, you do not need to be hungry on a diet when you spend the amount of calories that you are limited to intelligently, meaning not necessarily on sugar but on some protein and lots of fiber containing foods like raw vegetables. But that does not translate into a “all you can eat diet”.

Weight loss = eating less + burning more

You need to eat less and to do so you do not need to follow a specific diet plan, also you should if you find that helpful and easier. A good method is to actually change your eating habits to smaller portions and healthier lower calorie options as this also ensures that your weight will stay off permanently.

Conclusions: The best way to lose weight permanently

The best way to lose weight permanently is setting up your eating and exercising habits in a way that leads to weight loss automatically. Fad diets will only bring short term success and you would have to restart your weight loss efforts again after a few weeks or months.
