Print this articleWhen such a high percentage of the people are overweight it seems fitting that there is also a significant number of the population who are extremely image conscious. In addition to that, these people have a desire to sculpt their bodies to achieve that magazine-cover look. This of course has had a knock on effect with more fitness clubs and health spas being built.
Increasingly we are being targeted at home as well with fitness and health product advertising and sponsorship found on TV. But exercise is not the only way to build that body beautiful because it also entails a certain responsibility about the foods we choose to eat as being healthy and fit requires one to follow a regular diet fitness regime.
We need to remember that our bodies require a certain level of nourishment if they are going to be able to repair themselves and stay healthy and diet and fitness go hand in hand. With the popularity of keeping fit, many different opinions, methods, programs and dieting strategies have been formulated by numerous professionals, among these are high-carb diets and high-fat diets but which one is more effective and which one should you choose?
To understand this better you need to know that the high-carbohydrate followers believe that you need to eat foods rich in carbohydrates to exercise well and the opposition believe you need to consume foods high in fat. The high carbohydrate diets are good for storing glycogen in our muscles for when we need to perform short lived but very fast exercise as opposed to cardiovascular.
The problem is the high-fat followers have an equally convincing argument because they say that fat is a much richer source of calories than foods rich in carbohydrates and that it metabolizes much faster. So a person can follow a high-carb and low fat fitness diet or the other way around but it is not recommended to follow both at the same time; unless of course if you want to gain body fat.
The main factor to consider is that if you are just following a diet and fitness lifestyle then the last thing you want is too add extra pounds of unwanted fat. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle and medical profile.
Just losing weight is not the issue as many overweight individuals manage to do this but if the diet doesn’t suit them they pile it all back on, so the trick is to organize a diet that exactly fits your needs and maintain a moderation to what you eat. Having made that point, it is only fair to say that as part of a healthy diet, certain vitamins and other nutrients essential for good health must still be taken if the body wants to remain strong.
The answer to all this is arranging for a diet that suits your own personal needs as being healthy is more important that just looking good and if you want to continue with your diet fitness program it should be something you enjoy.

More and more people are deciding enough is enough and doing something to improve their diet and increase their fitness levels. It would be easy to blame one single thing but the truth is, despite the obesity pandemic the world is facing we are still an image conscious society. Health clubs, gyms and many others have as a consequence become much busier and the trend looks to continue.
We are all be urged to become more responsible about our fitness generally so it is no surprise that there has been an increase in the amount of interest shown. But on the flip side of that coin is the importance of heating healthily and maintaining a weight to suit our size and shape.
Staying fit is one part of the equation but by eating the right foods, our fitness levels will increase as will the body’s ability to renew damages to muscle, cells and skin. To make matters worse, there are a number of different opinions about how it works and the two most hotly contended at the moment is the high-carb approach to exercising against the high-fat approach.
What makes this confusing for the amateur is that one side says that you are better of eating foods high in fat when you exercise and the others state you need to eat foods that are a good source of carbohydrates. The high carbohydrate diets are good for storing glycogen in our muscles for when we need to perform short lived but very fast exercise as opposed to cardiovascular.
The problem is the high-fat followers have an equally convincing argument because they say that fat is a much richer source of calories than foods rich in carbohydrates and that it metabolizes much faster. So according to the experts, it doesn’t matter which you choose, as long as you don’t follow both at the same time, unless weight gain is what you want.
All this is fine if you are exercising regularly but a diet fitness regime is also about reducing the body fat. To achieve this, research has shown that you need to think about how you are currently living your life which includes the type of food you like to eat and if there are any medical considerations.
Many diets can help you lose weight but to maintain it requires something that will make you feel good about yourself as well as making you feel healthy and that often means eating some of the things you like but in moderation. The reason for this the importance of certain foods to our health and wellbeing as some are actually crucial for our survival.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle
As someone who has been a regular three times a week gym devotee for 13 years, I have spent in the region of $13,500 on membership. This is a lot of money especially when you consider although I am reasonably fit, healthy and can lift reasonable weights without doing myself any damage, I do not have anywhere near the type of body shape I had planned.
Now I also have to say that I do not enjoy going to the gym but after it being a regular habit for so long I do not want to give it up now, least of all because I do enjoy the feeling of being fairly fit and happy in my ability to lift decent weights. It is also the only way I can work out in a reasonable amount of time which is something in short supply owing to pressures of work.
You can imagine my anger when I found out this guy Tom Venuto of ‘Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle’ fame has the sort of body that most men (and many women) dream about and has achieved this primarily with a secret diet. Well, he does workout too! He has worked on this ‘secret’ method for well over a decade and guarantees that you too can have a lower body fat ratio, without using drugs or supplements and worse of all he guarantees it in addition to the fact that the fat won’t return!
Now I may have spent a great deal of money on fitness and I am sure many of you have done the same and it’s possible we don’t regret it, but it would have been great to have seen an improved physique because of all the effort. This type of program is used by body builders and diet program fitness models but he is now making it available to us mere mortals! The guarantee is unconditional and lasts for eight weeks, which is plenty of time to give it a try. I wish I could have bought it sooner.
Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, after all the money you’ve spent elsewhere, what do you have to lose? Go take a look.

Lifetime Fitness
Lifetime fitness is a commitment to yourself that should not be considered a short term plan only whilst you are unfit and overweight. It must be viewed as a regime for life, one that will increase your lifespan and quality of life. The decision is yours, but it is one that must be treated seriously with actions that need to be taken on a regular basis. Lifetime fitness and health is a commitment to a lifestyle change in order to live a happier, healthier, fitter life!
Rapid developments in medicine and technology have increased the average persons lifespan in America from approximately 47 years in 1900 to just 0ver 77 years at the turn of the millennium. Unfortunately, these increases have absolutely nothing to do with lifetime fitness and health programs. People may live longer but they are not healthier or fitter so do not enjoy the advances that medicine has brought them, in fact it is quite the reverse. A healthy lifetime fitness program should not include cigarette smoking because smoking has been linked to chronic respiratory conditions and of course, cancer.
Currently a third of high school students across America do not get involved in any lifetime fitness programs recommended by the Surgeon General and the governments Council on Physical Fitness. It is a noted fact that when children and young people do not take part in physical activities that it continues into adulthood, where lifetime fitness and health programs are ignored leading to many physical and emotional problems. Recent studies by the National Institute on Aging indicate only 58 percent of the American population take part in an exercise regime and less than half of those do so three or more times a week as part of their lifetime fitness program. The equation is simple: Too much food plus too little exercise equals weight gain and health problems.
So how does a lifetime fitness and exercise program improve your quality of life? Well, with the exception of accidental deaths, most other leading forms of death could be avoided or delayed with a health regime that should include exercise, a healthy low fat low cholesterol diet, and no smoking. When a lifetime fitness and health program includes a diet that is low in cholesterol, there’s a significant reduction of fatty deposits found in the arteries. Too many fatty deposits cause clogging of the arteries. When that happens, reduced amounts of blood and oxygen circulate to the coronary arteries and this can ultimately lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Exercise fitness presents us with many benefits as it helps maintain healthy body weight and prevent development of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health problems associated with obesity. Food we consume or ‘Fuel’ can be burnt more efficiently and improve our overall sense of wellbeing.
