The Bull stops here

Joan Collins once said ‘The best exercise for losing wait is pushing yourself away from the table’.

What better advice could you give to someone who wants to lose body fat?

The UK is becoming classed an obese country and this has happened within the last five years, this is due to the sedenatry lifestyle we are becoming accoustmed to; the amount of tasks which you can now achieve from the sofa, is  phenomenal you can do anything from your entire week's shopping, ordering a family meal to playing tennis, creating music, socialising with the world. You don't even need to get the  Vacuum cleaner out as it can now take itself for a walkies around the room whilst you sit on the sofa and play Bingo.

ShapeNoBull’s thoughts on this obese nation, we belive, is also partly due to the range of food, it has never been more advanced; you can have a curry on your plate in two minutes, cook a party for 30 within the hour, and there is an array of flavoured ice-creams and crisps and many of the Supermarkets are fighting for your custom so reduce prices on some of the worst foods, filled with bad fats, high in salt and huge amount of carbs.

As a nation, that is less active than we have ever been before, what can we change to make life less sedentary?

One of the best things we can do instead of piling our plates high with food and finishing the whole lot, even when we feel full, is to actually push ourselves away from the table.

A lot of us are eating way too much food than our body actually requires  to sustain its energy for the day. Sometimes even the ShapeNoBull team have to tell ourselves to stop eating, especially when it comes to the weekend, when it is chill out time, and we fill our faces with sweeties and fatty foods.

The simplest thing to stop us piling on those pounds is discipline. If you want to change your body it is all up to you to make the decision, find the discipline and take action. No one else can do it for you
