Weight Loss Basics

There are 3 basic strategies when it comes to weight loss.

1) Changing your diet
2) Increasing your physical activity
3) Supplements

The quickest way to get results is to combine all three. Keep in mind that the perfect weight loss strategy at one point in your life may not be the best strategy in another. As our body composition changes, our dietary needs change as well. The diet plan that worked when you were 50 pounds overweight at 35% body fat won't work when you are 10 pounds overweight at 20% body fat.

When someone first starts a fitness program, the weight loss can be dramatic at first, especially if they are overweight. In this case the basic formula of calories in less than calories out works like a charm. People doing this can experience great weight loss while undereating. This is where supplements really need to come in to play. Vitamins, protein powder, and especially Shakeology play a huge role in making sure that these people don't suffer from malnutrition. Add exercise to the equation and the weight loss rate will increase even more.

The exercises may have been getting easier, but over time, they start getting harder and harder. This is because the body is still not getting the nutrition it needs and is running out of fat to burn. At this point, weight loss starts to slow down.

Here's Steve Edwards to explain it much better than I can. You'll even see how INCREASING your calorie intake can help you lose weight.
