How To Lose Body Fat When Severely Obese

If you've never exercised a day in your life or if you are severely overweight or obese there are some precautions you should take. In order to lose body fat people in this situation need to start out slow. Low intensity exercises will be best for anyone who is obese. The type exercises can be walking, a light jog, and cycles with a small mini cycler machine or a mini cardio cycle that’s strictly to exercise the arms or the legs (you can find it online or store like Walmart, and stretching /yoga. The reason you should start out slow like this is because you don’t want to put your body under unnecessary stress.  Then you can slowly ease your way into do more intense workouts. You can still focus on working the bigger muscle groups to burn more calories but use low impact workouts. Don’t worry if this is hard for you when you start, take baby steps. Some exercises are better than none and you will make accomplishments.

Once you lose some of the weight, you can then increase to the higher intensity workouts and start losing weight faster. Remember you still want to gradually work your way up and not hurt yourself. Increase your water intake. You need to drink more water to help with losing weight. Water helps make the body function better and you will lose weight faster. Most people drink more than the average amount that is recommended daily. You should also cut out all junk foods. I’m not just talking about cookies and cakes; I’m talking about pizza, canned foods, breads, fried foods, foods with high fructose corn syrups, and alcohol. Alcohol can actually slow down weight loss efforts because it can eliminate your appetite.  Also cut back on calories, not too much though because if you deprive your body of too much calories, your body will go into starvation mode making it harder to lose weight.

Stay consistent when trying to lose weight. Even if you just do a little bit until you can gradually do more exercises. If you need motivation, get a friend or family member; if your budget allows get a personal trainer for however long you need one. You can also join a support group (online or offline) with other individuals who are trying to lose weight.

When you get to a more comfortable weight then you should start including higher intensity workouts and mix them in with lower intensity workouts until you can handle doing a lot more high intensity exercises. You can also use weights when you are walking to slowly build muscle to increase fat loss.
