Reply to "Losing weight"

The only effective method to lose weight (body fat) is to eat less and increase day to day activity.

Sugary foods and drinks are the biggest contributor to fat gain and it's the excess fat which increases your weight.

With fat loss and muscle development, a person can actually weigh more.

With a toned body, a person can be burning off more calories whilst sitting still than that of a less defined and active person.

I'm pretty certain, like me, you have indeterminate Colitis and unless you've experience Crohn's like symptoms within the small bowel and or, other sections of the digestive tract, losing or gaining weight shouldn't be an issue; the fact you've gained weight proves you're absorbing nutrients from your diet

Losing the weight does depend on your age, sex, height and what you believe your ideal weight should be, compared to your actual weight.

How you acheive this weight/fat loss also depends on your current weight and level of fitness.

One of the best methods of increasing fitness and burning calories, thus losing weight, is skipping (jump rope) in combination with a reduced food and  sugar drinks intake.

No point binging on a box of Cookies or jelly doughnut after a skipping session, as you'll put back on, what you've just burnt off.

The reason skipping is such a good exercise; it forces you to keep to a rhythm and pace; if you slow, you'll notice instantly.

With running, it's so easy to start full of vigor and determination, yet as you tire, you'll gradually slow, which will defeat the point of the exercise.

Incorporating exercise as a means of losing excess body fat has an overall benefit; healthy mind, soul and all that but its primary reason, is to see the desired results sooner, rather than not at all, otherwise people will bore of it and just give up; and blaming their metabolism.
