Healthy weight loss tips


* Take one pound at a time
Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.

Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.

Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.


* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.

The same logic applies for losing weight.

* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.

If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.

* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.

* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.

* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.

* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

As you probably know, diabetes will make you crave sweets. I'm sure you also know about the very real dangers of giving in to those cravings. You may not notice the damage right away, but it's going on inside you. After you are blind or on kidney dialysis you will wish you hadn't ate those sweets.

You also know that lack of exercise contributes to the severity of your diabetes. Conversely, exercise can help it immensely. The trick to that for anyone, not only a diabetic, is to do it.

Don't take time to talk yourself out of exercising. Just get up and do it. Walk or exercise in place, but do it. The next day do it again. Don't think about it because you will come up with 1001 reasons to put it off.

Not only will you see an improvement in your diabetes, you will see a reduction in your weight. You will feel happier too because exercise causes your brain to make endorphins which are mood elevators.

Like the Nike commercial says, "Just do it!"

Answer 4

Throw away all the sweets in your flat. Go outside and walk even though you hate exercise it will eventually develop into a habit. Start small like 10 minutes, work your way up to 20 and so forth then it won't seem like it you are exercising. Choose a scenic route. Start walking first and then hasten your steps. Once you are home, drink two glasses of water, eat fruits. Get rid of your big plates in the house and use cup saucers that way when you eat you won't fill up your plate.

Answer 5

You don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. But you do have to cut back. First thing to do is go have a check up, if you haven't been to the doctor in a great while. Make sure you are healthy enough for excerise.

Do you like vegetables? Green beans, carrots, celery, there are vegetables that you can eat 24/7 and not gain a ounce. Cut back on the graveys and rices. You are going to have to push back from the table. Or just don't eat at the table, I fix my plate, and that's it. No seconds!

I just lost a friend last week, why because she was "fat" and diabetic. Her liver hardened, she was diganosed with cirroshis of the liver, caused by her weight and her being diabetic.

If you hate exercise, walk, how about dancing....anything to get up off the couch and moving. Walk the mall, start out small. My cousin lost over 150lbs, by walking. He couldn't make it out to the mailbox at first, but everyday he added a few feet to it. He walks 5 miles a day now. He's in the best shape of his life, he cut back on the sweet, ate more vegetables, and took a walk.

Until, you are ready to admit you need to lose the weight, no diet is going to help you. There's all kind of diet pills out there that promises miracles, but until you set your mind to it. You won't get no where. When in high school, I losted 120 pounds, greenbeans, and tuna fish.

You can do this, but you have to stick with it, when you first start excerising, sometimes you tend to gain a few pounds, this is normal, but it's heartbreaking when you want to see the scales go down not up! But it's your body getting ready for changes.
Get a friend, and do this together. Moral support is wonderful to have when you are doing this, but it is up to you. Please think about what I said, Sylvia was only in her 50's, she had a lot of living left to do, but her weight and her being diabetic took her from us........

God bless us all....................

Answer 6

You cannot lose weight until you make sacrifices like starting to exercise and to cut down on sweets, you shoulda learned that being a diabetic.

Answer 7

I will try to keep it simple. Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories to create energy. So the faster your metabolism, the faster you burn calories and the easier it is to lose unwanted weight. To boost your metabolism naturally you just need to eat the right foods.

You can sit down and literally eat a 1,000-calorie dinner and yet be absolutely starving just a few hours later and the reason is simple: Because your body didnt get what it needed in those 1,000 calories so it sends signals to your brain telling you to ingest more calories and thus, the late-night cravings. That means that the surest way to end those late-night cravings and keep your weight loss goals on track is to eat a more balanced, nutritious diet that actually gives your body what it needs.

It's VERY EASY to lose weight if you eat the right foods. Check out Dr. Charles Livingston's video here: http://www.sexyjese.com - it will blow your mind.

Answer 8

Hi
This plan really helped me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

Answer 10

You sound like someone with a motivation factor of -10. A friend of mine is diabetic, looks like Arnie and benches 400 pounds. It CAN be done, but not with your attitude.

Answer 11

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
