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.

Try the following : do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.

Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Read fitness magazines, like Shape and Fitness for motivation and tips.

Good luck and stick at it.

Find a group of people who want to loose weight also. Get some advice from a doctor about diet. Eat well and exercise a bit, all do it together.

Breakfast choices:
Any kind of muffin (chocolate chip included) with butter too!
Low fat cerials like Special K, Cornflakes (1 big bowl)
Egg Whites on white bread with ketchup if desired

Mid noon snack (any muffin)

Lunch choices:
any muffin
cerial again
turkey coldcuts with mustard or tuna on bread
(try to get 40 calorie bread if you can, but it doesn't matter)
fit fruits in if you have them available. (plums or peaches are yummy)

before dinner snack:
any muffin with butter or margerine
granola bars, but keep it minimal
have tea or gatorade or water or fruit juices at any mealtime

Dinner
rice with red kidney beans (spice to taste)
chicken with dijon mustard or lowfat sauces
turkey stuff
stay away from red meats
eat one plate if possible, not two

Desert
any muffin or lowfat ice cream (small bowl)
or lowfat pudding or jello

cottage cheese whenever you want
salads

and this is about it... next you have to excercise and here's what I recommend.

two 15 minute walks per day or one 20 minute
walk per day for a week and then work up to a
25 minute walk the second week until you reach
a 30 minute walk per day. That's all you need to
do to lose weight. Good luck hun.

Well sweetheart, excercisng is the best option. U know, like jogging, cycling, skipping, situps. u could look up for more exercises.

Control the amt of food u eat. Avoid fastfood and junk food. I wud not advice u to go on a serious diet. More like u should eat less. Have snaks composed of vegetables.

Nutraslim tea is good for losing fats in the stomach area. But then u will have a running stomach. Alternately u could take ayurvedic(herbal) capsules. That is effective but takes approximately 3 months to show full results.

As for exercising, start now. The sooner u start, the sooner you will get results. Goodluck.
