WITHOUT GOING OVERBOARD

Similarly, rather than deprive yourself completely of essential food components like carbohydrates and fat, you have to regulate your diet and follow it consistently. Both exercise and diet must form a part of your daily existence and whatever drill you zero in on, must be sustained over a long period of time,
Of course, you can go on that occasional food binge and can also skip your daily walk, but moderation and control are by far better weapons against weight gain than going in for drastic measures.
When you lose weight using drastic measures, there are bound to be side-effects like lethargy, listlessness, disinterest, chronic fatigue, sallow skin, eating disorders (lack of appetite or compulsive eating), sunken cheeks and sagging skin.
But when you follow the success paradigm of 40% exercise + 40% diet + 20% attitude = 100% fitness, you ensure that you will look and feel good for years to come.
It is a proven fact that men and women who lead sedentary lifestyles have a 30- 40% higher risk of suffering coronary disease than those who burn over 1,000 calories a week exercising.
Exercise can be in the form of walking, jogging or wogging (wogging is a combination of jogging and walking), cycling, dancing or swimming. And this most homemakers can comfortably incorporate into their daily routines.
