Healthy Weight Loss

American culture has encouraged weight loss to the point that too many people will engage in unhealthy methods of rapid weight loss only to discover there really is no miracle fix. For as many medical issues that can arise from gaining too much weight, just as many can be found when you engage in losing too much weight. And rapid weight loss puts your on the path to unnecessary and dangerous health issues. 

Any good weight loss program will not encourage you to lose more than 2 pounds a week. Please, please do not fall for the next miracle pill, or powder, or liquid. Please do not starve yourself for two days or two weeks. Please do not cut out carbs completely. Any program that tries to convince you that you need to go to such extremes is not a healthy weight loss program. There are no permanent answers in temporary solutions.

Healthy weight loss can only be done using a plan that addresses your nutritional needs first. Change your nutritional intake and you will change your weight. Those who desire to eat sugary diets, calorie loaded diets, or low calorie diets will be more likely to revert back to their old habits within six months of stopping the weight loss diet. Dieting is not the answer to weight loss. Nutritional intake is. A healthy weight can only be accomplished by using a healthy plan.

Tips on progression:
The programme is designed for beginners to gradually build up their running ability to be able to run 5K without stopping.
The pace of the nine-week running plan has been tried and tested by thousands of new runners, so you can trust the programme.
You can, however, repeat any one of the weeks until you feel physically ready to move on to the next level.
Structure is important for motivation, so try to allocate specific days in the week for your runs and stick to them.
Rest days are critical. A rest day in between each run will reduce your chance of injury and will also make you a stronger, better runner.
Resting allows your joints to recover from what is a high-impact exercise and your running muscles to repair and strengthen.
Some new runners starting the programme experience calf pain or sore shins (sometimes known as shin splints).
Such aches can be caused by running on hard surfaces or by running in shoes that do not have enough foot and ankle support.
Always do the the 5-minute warm-up walks as instructed in the podcasts before each run and check that your running shoes are offering good support.
You will have good runs and bad runs. Accept it and don’t spend too much time analysing the how and why. Even a bad run is good for you.
