The Diet Solution: I Need to Burn Fat Fast – Should I Join a Gym?

by Amy S.

Anytime a person comes to me and says, “I need to lose weight and fast. Will joining a gym help me?” I simply tell them that no two people are alike. The first thing to do is start eating healthy with the Diet Solution Plan and the decide what level of exercise works for you. There are many good reasons to join a gym, but there are also some drawbacks.

Reasons You May Want to Join a Gym

Motivation

Most people are at the gym is there for one reason-exercise. Being around people who share the same objective can motivate you to dig your heels in and get your workouts done. If going to the gym will encourage you to exercise regularly, then I say go for it!

Distractions

There is always something to do or someone who needs you at home. These distractions can easily take priority (in your mind) over exercising.

Equipment and Classes

You don’t need much exercise equipment to get a good workout. However, doing the same old exercise videos and running on the same old treadmill can bore you to pieces. When you opt to workout in a gym, you have access to tons of equipment and a variety of fitness classes, so you rarely get bored.

Reasons You May Not Want to Join a Gym

You may be stuck in a contract. Plenty of people join a gym and use their memberships religiously. Others start with a boom and then fade away. If you are one of the faders and you sign a 12-month contract, you’ll be stuck paying for a yearlong membership that you never use. It will be a waste of money.

Money

Most contracted gym membership fees happen by automatic bank draft. If you lose your job or run into financial hardships, there is no way to stop the gym from pulling money out of your account until your contract expires. If you’re short on funds, the money the gym takes out of your account can cause overdraft charges and other financial hardships.

Overcrowding

Gyms are in the business of making money. The more members they have, the more money they make. These facilities can be crowded during peak hours. If you hate crowds or are uncomfortable exercising around others, the gym atmosphere may not be for you.

Germs

Sweaty bodies and dirty hands—it’s no secret that the exercise equipment and locker rooms at gyms are stomping grounds for germs. Anytime you expose yourself to equipment used by other people, you become vulnerable to illnesses and infections. If you are germ phobic or a little slack about hand washing, you may be better off exercising at home.

Ways to Combat Gym Drawbacks

While it’s not necessary to join a gym to lose weight, some people thrive in this type of setting. If you’re not sure if a gym is right for you, go to a nearby facility and ask for a free trial membership. This will give you a chance to use the facility for a couple of weeks and see if joining is something you really want to do.

If you feel like a gym membership is what you need to get off your hump and exercise, negotiate with the fitness club to save a little cash. Some gyms will waive their registration fees or offer as much as 30 percent off membership prices–all you have to do is ask.

If you detest the idea of being trapped in a contract, ask for a month-to-month membership. Most gyms don’t advertise the month-to-month thing because it eats into their profits. With this type of membership, you simply pay as you go. When you get sick of going, you can quit without paying any additional fees.

Your dream of losing weight is only a reach away. Watch this video to find out how the Diet Solution Program has helped me when I need to lose weight and fast.

The Diet Solution — Will Proper Nutrition Help Me Burn Fat?

by Amy S.

You’ve tried diet after diet and still you keep asking, “Please! Help me burn fat!” The truth is diets simply do not work for the permanent fat loss. You need a Diet Solution. Fad diets may help you drop some fat in the beginning, but the results are most often short lived. Most diets require you to restrict your caloric intake to the point where your body is starving. Those hunger pangs you feel are real and that’s no way to live.

Starving yourself slows your metabolism, causes the loss of lean muscle tissue, deprives you of the fuel you need to perform, and causes your body to hold on to stored fat for energy. If your body is holding on the fat, it’s not burning it! Take it from someone who has tried almost every diet out there. Proper nutrition will give you better weight loss results than simply going on a diet. Here are three good reasons why:

Eating Healthy to Burn Fat

Here’s some great news. Healthy diets that include protein can help you build lean muscle tissue, which can kick your metabolism into high gear. This is definitely a plus if you want to send that double chin packing.

When you eat protein rich foods, your body releases a hormone that helps you burn fat. Protein also helps make meals more satiating so you eat less (bring on the protein, baby). Some nutritious protein sources include naturally raised lean meats, organic poultry, beans, raw nuts, and whole organic eggs.

Why put yourself through the drama of dieting just to be disappointed with the results? Healthy eating is a much better option for dropping unwanted pounds. Remember though, nutritious eating is just one part of the weight loss puzzle. If you want to keep those results coming, get plenty of exercise and drink lots of water.

Healthy Foods Are Naturally Low in Calories

Unlike processed junk, healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, beans naturally raised meats, organic poultry, raw nuts, seeds and organic eggs are naturally low in calories. When you eat reasonable portions of these foods, you automatically reduce your caloric intake and lose weight without feeling hungry.

There is so much nonsense in processed foods. When you eat them, your body doesn’t have a clue what to do with the calories so they just get stored as fat. When you eat nutritious foods instead of processed junk, your body actually benefits from the calories so they are less likely to get stored as blubber.

Proper Nutrition Helps Fuel Your Body

All healthy eating plans will allow plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans in the diet. These foods provide the healthy carbohydrates you need to fuel your body and keep your metabolism performing properly.

If you come across a diet that tells you not to eat healthy carbohydrates, run away from it as fast as you can. Your body absolutely has to have healthy carbohydrates (healthy being the operative word) to survive.
