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.

Most people would tell you diet and exercise more. Well I've got a way you can lose 40 pounds in 2 months. Want to know why! 1. Set Up Realistic Weight Loss Goals. Don't set a weird goal like 10 pound a day no. 2. Drink Plenty of Water. Drink about 6-8 glass of water per day. 3. Chew More Slowly when You Eat.

Pleas stay away from pills they could kill you, some pills could help but there is a few that do help. If you follow this correctly you will achieve your weight goal.

Answer 4

Try starting with a walk every day. Also, lay off of sugary stuff if you eat it. My husband lost like, 15 lbs when he had a job that made him be active and he didn't drink as much soda. Usually, the best thing is to try and be active at least 30min each day. This can be gardening, housework, going for a walk, or even walking the mall or something. So long as the total activity is 30min. Then try to get more active from there. Just know your limits. If you're tiring yourself out too much, feel free to take a break. Strive to do a little bit more every day. And make sure you drink plenty of water. Also, several small meals will help you metabolize what you eat better than eating three main meals every day.

Answer 5

Did you gain 35 pounds in a week? One month? No? Then what's the big emergency in losing it?

Obese people never cease to amaze me. You care nothing about your appearance and don't give your health a single thought until you get to the point you can't stand existing in your own body, then suddenly you decide the weight has to be gone in a week! By your own admission you do nothing physically. Doesn't it seem logical that the solution to your problem is to do the exact opposite now?

There is no safe way to lose weight rapidly. Start exercising, eat healthy foods and avoid the lifestyle choices that have gotten you to this point in your life. You were probably very patient as you watched the pounds pack themselves on your body. You should show equal patience and determination to lose the weight.

Answer 6

First, check your BMI before you check your "feelings" because using your personal perception to gauge how much weight you need to gain/lose is DANGEROUS. I plugged in your given figures in the body mass index calculator here: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/results_overweight.htm?pounds=143&inches=61
and you'll find that you are only 25.0-29.9 pounds overweight, which is a ways off from 35. You feel like a pig, but I can assure you your desire to eat is really quite normal seeing as how you are a human being. The fact of the matter is, there is no SAFE way to lose weight fast, and unless you are wedged in your stalled car on a train track with the lights flashing, there is nothing worth losing that weight fast for. Constult a dietician and your pysician to come up with a healthy diet and fitness plan for you to get to your desired weight.

BEST OF LUCK AND REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

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.

cut off you left leg.
otherwise it should be 1-2lbs of fat a week. not weight, but fat. start eating 5-6 lowfat meals a day lots of raw fruits and vegtables and no fatty foods. Drink plenty of water. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Do an hour of low intensity cardio a day to start, gradually increasing the intensity. add weights 3-4 times a week as well. get a heart monitor, skin calipers, and a tape measure. See where you are at now, remeasure your arms and legs and belly every two weeks, and use the skin caliper every two weeks as well. Watch the inches drop don't worry about the scale so much. Use the heart monitor to see how hard you are working out and keep your heart rate in an aerobic/fatburning zone. No quick and easy solution.

Answer 10

The best way is to have a realistic approach to your weight. If you're trying to lose weight fast you will only end up dehydrating yourself, and getting yourself sick.

All weight lost plans end up with the simple formula: burn more calories than you consume. You have 3,500 calories to one pound. That comes down to burning 500 calories more than you consume each day for a week to lose 1 pound!!!!!!!

To lose weight you have to practice discipline over long periods of time. You have to count the calories you consume, and spend hours doing a cardio based exercise... You should expect to sweat a lot... When you sweat make your mind think that "It's working". When you have hunger pains, make your mind think, "it's working". You have to live with this discipline -- that's why dieting and losing weight is not for lazy people.

Answer 11

Hi
This plan worked for 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
