Losing fat-weight is not seen as a quick, easy process. That is because many people are misted into believing that if they diet, they will lose weight. They will, but it will not be fat-weight-loss but water-weight loss and lean-muscle-weight loss. Only aerobic exercise can build up your lean muscle mass and ensure fat-weight loss.

As you continue to exercise, you may find that your weighing machine sticks stubbornly to one weight. For example, if you were 70 kg when you began exercising, you will still be 70 kg. Don't get disheartened. It does not mean that you are not losing fat. What it means is that your muscles are developing, they are getting stronger and becoming more efficient. It is a temporary but a long drawn-out phase. Your muscles are burning fat.

With all the necessary precautions being taken care of, you can start.

Don't have excessively high expectations but develop a firm, enthusiastic resolve that you will get fit gradually.

It has taken you years to reach the unconditioned state you are in. To expect your body to bounce into a perfect state of fitness overnight is unfair. Give yourself three months to feel the positive changes within you and six months to lose excess fat.

As you feel the effect of aerobics unfolding within you like the petals of a blossoming flower, you will find yourself seeking out and enjoying the kind of food that complements your lifestyle. You will realise that it is not how much you eat but what you eat that is important.
