Top weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

You might do well with the diet I am on. I've been using the Cambridge Diet since July and have lost 30 lbs. It's inexpensive, very easy to follow and is actually really good for you. In a nutshell, you consume 3 Cambridge products a day in the form of a soup, shake or oats (used as oatmeal or baked as muffins) and it's up to you if you'd like to add in a "real meal" of supper for about 600 calories. If you use just the 3 servings a day of Cambridge it's called the Fast Start, if you add in a regular meal it's the Maintenance Plan. Either way you'll lose the weight because Cambridge is so low calorie. However, even though it's low calorie the 3 servings provide you with 100% of the body's necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It's a lot like the MediFast stuff that's advertised on TV all the time but only half the price.

Whoever said eat the whole sandwich is totally on track. You should eat the whole sandwich and a yogurt, and a piece of fruit, and some pretzels and a glass of milk.

Starving yourself at lunch is just telling your body

--- "OK, wait for the real substance later on tonight. Then we'll horde all THAT energy so we can last the whole day tomorrow." ---
Getting your body used to using that energy throughout the day is going to get your body to use more energy. . . and that's exactly what you want it to do if you want to lose weight.

I think I'd eat everything around me if I had to wait 'til midnight to eat dinner - so that might be a problem too. In addition to eating more throughout the day, you need to eat better types of things. The more processed anything is, the less good it is for your body. No one can dispute this. Most perishable foods are more useable for your body - your body can use the energy more efficiently AND you have the benefits of energizing vitamins and essential minerals.


How can you not be drained constantly without any Vitamin C or B throughout the day? What about potassium?! You've got nothing to energize you, nothing to kick your metabolism into shape and nothing to tell your body to look for energy stores throughout the day and not at night. Start eating right and your metabolism will eat through those good foods and start looking in more places for energy. . . and we know where those are.

Good luck! You're going to feel so much better!

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.

Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

fIRST OF JUST BECAUSE YOUR DRINKING A DIET SODA DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WORKING THERE IS TO MUCH ACID INTHOSE THINGS. TRY TO CUT BACK ON THEM. I'M NOT SAYING STOP ALL AT ONCE TRY TO ALEAST DRINK ONE A DAY AND TRY DRINKING MORE WATER BUT IT HAS TO BE ROOM TEMPERATURE BECAUSE ICE COLD WATER WILL MAKE YOU BLOATED. TRY TO EAT MORE SALADS AND IF YOU CAN DRINK A HEALTHY BREVERAGES INSTEAD OF SODA. BECAUSE THOSE DIET SODAS DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR YOU BUT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT . i LOST 15 POUNDS BY CUTTING BACK ON WHAT I ATE I REALLY DON'T EAT FROM FAST FOOD REST. ANYMORE UNLESS IT IS TO PICK UP SOMETHING QUICK. AND EVENTHOUGH YOU WALK THROUGH A HOSPITAL ALL DAY YOU SHOULD FIND TIME TO WALK OUTSIDE OF WORK EVEN IF IT JUST GOING AROUND THE BLOCK. GOOD LUCK.
