Losing weight is a daily struggle for many individuals all over the world. All someone has to do to realize this fact is turn on the television during the late hours of the night and observe what's going on. Weight loss infomercials dominate the screen, and it's reported that the entire industry runs into the hundreds of billions every single year. Weight loss is usually the number one goal for most people's New Year's resolutions as well. One thing that I hear often around this time of the year is "how many Weight Watcher's points am I allowed?" (Weight Watcher's is a very popular weight loss program, for those who don't know).
Being a weight loss consultant, people who usually ask me "how many Weight Watcher's points am I allowed?", are either men trying to get their gym memberships renewed for the new year, or women who are constantly monitoring their carb intake like rabid watchdogs. Some of these people aren't even members of Weight Watcher's! The majority of them have probably heard their friends who are in the program mention something about being allowed a certain amount of points, and they figure that if they want to be at the correct body weight, they need to follow this point system too. Bologna, I say. What you really need to start burning fat, and you could do be doing this right now, is cardiovascular exercise. That can be anything from running an 8-mile marathon to performing Jumping Jacks in your living room.
