Almost everyone has made the commitment to get fit and lose weight in the New Year. At One Big Health Nut, we like to think of the getting fit part as the best path to losing weight. So really, the key to losing weight is exercising and getting your heart rate up on a daily basis. Just be more active. People who are more active can lose weight without making any major changes to their diet.
The more active you are with your body, the more energy your body burns. That means you can eat more food without packing on the fat. It’s what some have called the simple math of losing weight. Basically, if you burn more calories than you take in each day, you will lose weight. It’s that simple.
However, we’d like to point out that the simple math of losing weight can be deceptive and lead to bad behavior. The key to losing weight is to increase the calorie burn rate. Do not simply go about losing weight by cutting calorie intake. In our experience it doesn’t really make you healthier.
The best flow chart for losing weight is to kill two birds in one stone: First, you get your body in shape by getting more active. Second, if your body is more active, it naturally burns more calories.
So, in our opinion, the best way to lose weight is to keep your calorie intake the same (maybe eat a few more veggies and a little less junk) while increasing your daily activity. Forget diets. They are hard to maintain. Instead, pursue full body health.

在新年里减肥
几乎每一个人都决心在新的一年中要有一个好身体同时达到减肥的目标。在One Big Health Nut中，我们考虑把保持身体健康作为减肥最好的途径。那么说真的，减肥的重要方法是进行锻炼，并使心跳率保持在每天基础之上。就让我们参与到更多的运动中去吧。那些爱运动的人可以在保持饮食基本不变的情况下减轻体重。
运动的越多，那么你的身体就能消耗更多的能量。这就意味着你可以吃更多的食物而不背上脂肪的负担。这就是有些人所说的简单减肥数学原理。基本上，如果你每天消耗的卡路里比摄入的多，那么你就能减肥。道理就是那么简单。
然而，我们想指出的是简单减肥数学原理具有欺骗性且会导致不好的行为。因为减肥的方法是增加卡路里燃烧率，所以不要简单的认为只要减少卡路里的摄入就能减肥了。
减肥最佳流程图是一石双鸟：首先，积极的运动能够塑形。其次，如果你的身体动得越多，就能自然而然地燃烧更多的卡路里。
在我们看来，最好的减肥方法是在增加日常活动消耗的卡路里同摄入的卡路里持平（稍微多吃些蔬菜，少吃些垃圾食品）。忘掉节食，因为它们太难一直执行了。相反，让我们一起来追求健康的身体吧。
