Some studies suggest that it would appear that some people seem to be able to eat more food yet put on less weight than others, or is it that these people are generally more active during the day than we realise.
When you tap your foot or walk up and down whilst on the telephone, swing your leg whilst in a meeting, you are burning energy without even realizing. These could be the reason behind a persons weight control and it is effortless.
Appetite is another key for sure. Some don't eat until they are hungry, some eat just to satisfy their hunger and stop before feeling 'full', there is also the debate about the so called 'fat gene' that some have more of than another.
Until this debate has final scientific answers, the best and only way to combat 'your' weight control and they way you look is through 'natural nutrition' and exercise. What I mean by 'natural' is:-
If it grows on a tree or comes out of the ground, if it swims or walks then eat it in its most natural form. If it comes in a processed package - leave it on the shelf.
What I mean by exercise is ' Just get moving'
Increasing your 'general' activities
-Assess journeys in the car you make that are less than 1 mile/ 2kilometers, how often do you drive them? How often could you walk them instead?
-Whenever you go out, set off a little earlier and walk the longer route
- Take the stairs instead of the lift
- Walk up/down the elevator
- Cycle to work if you can
- Dogs are great, they 'force' you to go for walks
- Take items upstairs one at a time ( great Legs and Bottom training going up and down stairs)
- Don't just sit indoors each night and watch TV, join a group/club where you get out and meet people.
