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.

Answer 2

Eliminate excess sodium, soda (even diet soda) and junk food (chips, fast food, sweets, etc.) from diet. Drink either a 16oz bottle of water, water with sliced lemon, or a regular tall glass of water with every meal. Eat small, portioned meals, 5 meals a day, including 2 snacks. All of your meat portions should be no bigger than the palm of your hand, so bump up the amount of vegetables and fruits. Also, beans and rice. Exercise at least 3 times a week, consisting of an hour of cardio to burn the excess fat on your stomach that is covering your abdominals (running, biking, swimming, basketball, etc.) and also some toning exercises (crunches, leg lifts, bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, etc.) for strength. Do 3 sets of 15 for each exercise. I personally run every other morning during the week and do 5 different ab exercises (all of which I suggested) and eat healthy, I have a toned and flat stomach. I achieved my goal appearance in about 3 months, I worked really hard. But anyone can get it if they stick to it and never let themselves get used to their workouts, so increase the difficulty about every 1 ½-2 weeks. If you don’t do cardio, you won’t lose the fat and you’ll never get a toned/flat stomach, it will get bulky. But also if you don’t do toning exercises, you won’t get any muscle either.

1. Start writing down everything you eat and counting calories.
* Calorie count sheet should look like this: Time, Description, Calories, Protein.
*Learn about your Basel metabolic rate. (Amount of calories required just to exist everyday)
*Run a calorie deficit of probably 1500 calories just guessing that if you just wrote down everything that you eat on a normal day skipping burger king once per day would provide that deficit otherwise just run about 500.
*Learn how much protein you need a day maybe 180grams a day.

2. Weigh yourself every day before you go to bed
*You should have another sheet with the titles: date, calories, weight and if you have a fancy scale body fat, water, body mass.

With this sheet you will be able to fine tune your diet and workout plan if you see that you eat 3000 cal a day and are holding steady drop down 500 cal and see what the weight results are.

3. Sign up for a gym and get a digital personal trainer.
*The digital personal trainer will help push you in the gym so you know you are getting stronger.

*Do cardio you can eat more and still run a calorie deficit.

Personal note: This has been my plan for the past 8 months and I have lost 52 lbs. I just did not realize that Burger King, and Taco bell are not a food group. I can almost guarantee that if you write down everything you eat on the sheet like I said you probably eat 6000 calories a day.

Remember your body is a system.

Input = output or input = output + storage or output = input + storage
