Myths of Men and Women Weight Loss Differences

All flabby-chubby men and women want to have a nice shape and it’s a desire. They used to do different kinds of exercises, maintain a tight diet and often overdo it. The result, the end of the day, doesn’t go the right way. Fatty men think, only hard-core exercise can give them the ultimate result when overweight women like to maintain a thin diet. The thing is- both men and women have weight loss myths and they don’t even know the facts.

Here are the issues on what both men and women trust, though these are just myths!

Myths About Weight Loss in Men

Myth #1: Jump, it is the Single Most Effective Way to Lose Some Weight

Fact: Well, jumping is an exercise yes, but excessive jumping can be horrible for bone joints. It can cause intense pain in the bone joint which may further keep them away from anymore workout. Jumping can be a great warm up exercise but it should not be done in a large scale.

Myth #2: Burning Fats Require Extensive or Excessive Amount of Exercise

Fact: It is said that, weight loss doesn't require heavy or extreme workouts. Weight loss specialists recommend simple and light exercise. They suggest, you have to make sure that you sweat.

Myth #3: The Faster You Move, the More Fats You Lose

Fact: It really doesn't matter how fast a man performs his moves during exercise.All it takes to burn the fats and lose weight is moving his muscles enough and boosting the metabolism. Fast moves; no extra benefits here. In addition, it can stiff the muscles and cause severe pain.

Myth #4: Eating and Exercising Consistently doesn't Lead You to Gain Weight

Fact: The process through which we gain or lose weight is the metabolic process and it changes with the age. The eating habit and exercise level should also be adjusted with this change. Otherwise, regular eating and doing the same level of exercise every day will do nothing. On the other hand, excessive eating and less exercise will leave the flabby body unchanged.

Myths About Weight Loss in Women

Myth #1: Women Shouldn’t do Exercises Like the Way Men do

Fact: I don’t find any point of constructing physical exercises from a gendered point! Really, can you tell whether the deadlift move is masculine or feminine? Or can the exercise moves indicate your gender as they are gendered in nature? Yes, there is no distinction out there that can tell you- ‘Oh no, don’t do that! That move is not for you’.

Myth #2: The Treadmill is the Most Effective Tool for a Woman to Lose Weight

Fact: Running is a good exercise for both men and women. But the myth that women only needs to run on a treadmill to lose their weight- is a very annoying and disgusting concept. Obviously, running is one of the most effective fat burning exercise, but only running is not everything about women’s weight loosing process.

Myth #3: Women Who Perform Lifting Exercise, Get a Masculine Body

Fact: It is completely a wrong perception about women’s weight loss. Weight lifting is a great way to work out and lose some extra pounds. It has nothing to do with making womens’ shape look like mens’ body. It is a great way to get strong muscles and burn fat.

Myth#4: Fasting May Fast Weight Loss Process!

Fact: Most of the women, who are in a weight loss program, think a thin diet or starving is a great idea for weight loss. They hardly take daily meals and they even starve! But they don’t know consuming tiny amounts of foods does not help them in weight loss rather promotes weight gain.

So, which of myth you believe in? Do you still think taking a little or no food helps you shed extra pounds? Did you find extreme workout helps? If you think you are on a myth mentioned above, share with us.

9 Tips To Lose Weight No Matter How Busy You Are

I hear it all the time: "I don't have enough time to exercise." Or people will tell me they will get back to their fitness goals someday when they have time. But someday can easily turn in to never. Take control of your day and prioritize your health and fitness! After all, it's not about finding the time, it's about creating the time. Get back on track no matter what your day looks like with these tips.

1. Add strength training to your routine.  

Even if you focus on just one muscle group a day and do three different exercises, (three sets of 15 for that muscle group) you'll benefit. You can divide it up throughout the week. Remember: the secret to a revved up metabolism is muscle. 

2. Put yourself first. 

Stressful situations can take your focus away from properly caring for yourself. If you neglect yourself for the sake of external problems, you'll create more problems than you are solving. Make sure you consider what you need and do something—however small—for yourself each day, even if you only devote 30 minutes to your health each day.

3. Eat whole, fresh foods in a rainbow of colors. 

Generally, the fewer foods you consume that come in a box or have a label, the healthier you're eating. Fresh, wholesome fruits and veggies are available in ample supply right now, so take advantage!

4. Eat mindfully. 

There are all sorts of tips for mindful eating. Don’t watch TV and eat. Pay attention to what you're eating. Ask yourself if you're really are hungry or if something else is going on. Check first to see if you are just thirsty. Determine when you are satiated. Eat slowly. Put your fork down in between bites. The best mindful eating weight loss tip is to connect with what you're thinking and feeling. You have all the answers. You know when you are overeating. You know when you have gone too long without working out. Awareness is the first step toward change.

5. Have a purpose for doing all this. 

How are you doing on the goals you set for yourself at the start of this year? If they've gotten away from you, how can you get back on track? Toss guilt out the window, and just start over. Give yourself a fresh start. If it helps, start with the end in mind and think about how you want to feel when this year concludes. What do you have to do to get there?

6. Set a simple routine and stick to it. 

One great way to kill your confidence is to constantly start and stop your fitness regimen. It’s common for people to get psyched up and dive in to working out and then drop it altogether when the craziness of life intervenes. But if you start and stop all the time, you are setting yourself up for a never-ending cycle, where you won’t see any progress. Commit to what you can achieve, at least at first. If you start overly ambitious, you are less likely to stick with your routine. Try two workouts a week at first until you regularly stick to your routine for a month. Or just commit to 15 minutes a day if that's all you can do at first. If you see that you are steadily making progress, you will gain momentum and confidence you can build on.

7. Set rules that work for you. 

Many people who've successfully lost weight and kept it off have set rules for themselves. Figure out how often you will work out, the bad habits you are willing to give up and the good habits you will start, the healthy food you will have on hand when you get the munchies and the number of glasses of water you will drink each day.

8. Be open to surprising yourself. 

Think about how you feel when you finish an intense workout, run a mile when you never have before, finish a new weight lifting routine, or venture to a new fitness class you haven’t tried before. You have a sense of accomplishment. Muscles are sore that you didn’t even know you had. When you surprise yourself, it will motivate you to keep going—or set your sights higher.

9. Don’t chase perfect, chase perfectly healthy. 

The best part about chasing healthy is it’s achievable. Chasing some idealized vision of perfect doesn’t set people up to have healthy self-images or achievable goals. The perfect word can even be a trigger for some. It’s that all or nothing thinking—perfect or nothing at all. Focusing on health provides you with a whole bunch of bonus benefits: increased energy, boosted immunity, enhanced mood, more time alive … You get my point!

The best part of tips is you can incorporate a few at a time or add an extra tip each week. Just start to make small changes daily and you'll surprise yourself with the results.
