Does it take long to lose weight and body fat?
There are many factors to consider when you want
to know how long and how fast it takes to lose weight and lose body fat.
Questions like what and when you are eating, are you exercising correctly and
regularly and do you have the genes for quick weight and fat loss need to be
addressed.
In
this article, we shall discuss whether you have the genetic make up to lose
weight and lose body fat quickly. Don't despair if you don't because this is
only one of the several issues that determine how long it takes for you to
lose weight and ugly body fat.
It is certainly helpful to know your body type
when you want to know how long it will take you to reduce
weight. By knowing your own body type, you can then plan your nutritional
and exercise program to suit your specific body type to encourage weight and
fat loss. You will also be able to estimate how long you will take to lose
those fat.
We
shall discuss the 3 common body types and their characteristics here.
•Endomorph: You have
natural big body frame and usually have a round face, wide hips, big bones and
slow metabolism. You are the type that gain weight and body fat easily. You
will need much more greater effort and a longer time than others to lose
weight and body fat from your huge frame.
Don't
despair even if you will take a longer time and extra effort to reduce weight.
All it takes is your grim determination to succeed and achieve your weight
loss goals. Although it can be done, it is a constant battle for you because
you are fighting what nature has given you.
•Mesomorph: You are
blessed with a naturally muscular body and have wide shoulders, small waist,
athletic body frame structure, average to low body fat with a somewhat high
metabolism.
You
are the type that will not take a long time to see your body fat melt away
even when you are overweight. When you train, eat and rest correctly you will
visibly see
your body fat melt away week after week right before your eyes.
•Ectomorph: You are
the skinny type with small muscles, very very high metabolism, narrow
shoulders, hips and waist. You are the type that must gain weight instead of
reducing weight.
However, your type is also known to slowly
gain weight when you age because your metabolism starts to slow down and thus
burning less calories. Yes, you can also be overweight at a later stage of
your life. That is good news to you isn't it?
Most
people fall in between the three types. For example, a person can be a mixture
of Mesomorph and Endomorph or Mesomorph and Ectomorphs.
Now
that you have identified your body type, you can then write down your goals,
objectives and the methodology you wish to lose weight and body fats. By
having a specific weight loss program to follow, it allows you to take
concrete actions each day to achieve your fat loss goals.
So
how long does it take to lose
weight and reduce body fat certainly depends on the body type you have but
it will also depend on numerous other factors.
