25 Easy Weight Loss Tips
25 Easy Weight Loss Tips
It
seems that you can’t look at any magazine, television program or read
through any website without seeing some advertisement or story about how
to lose weight. And unfortunately, we are being inundated with
information about weight loss due to the rising obesity rates and
numbers of people struggling to lose or control their weight.
Despite
the media attention and all the information that’s available, people
simply aren’t losing weight. But there are some very good reasons for
this: too much misinformation is available, too many people rely on fad
diets, too many people look for a pill to help them lose weight and too
many people just don’t want to acknowledge that it takes some work to
lose the weight. Yet for those who do work to lose weight, the end
result is always worth it.
It’s important to make the right kind
of changes in order to lose weight and to keep that weight off over
time. You will be healthier and your body will work more efficiently if
you choose nutritious, high-quality foods and effective, high-impact
exercises. Here are some steps to help you out.
1. Keep your eyes on the prize and visualize your goals
Understand
why you’re losing weight and what your purpose is. Take some time to
re-affirm that losing weight is not just about looking good, but is also
about being healthy. You may need to do this step every day, especially
during those days that you struggle.
2. Have realistic goals
You
are not going to lose 20 kilograms in a week, so making that your goal
will only set you up for failure. There’s an old adage that slow and
steady wins the race. As you embark on a weight loss journey, use this
adage as your mantra to help you set goals that are both challenging and
within reason.
3. Write down what you’re eating and be specific
This
is extremely important, especially when you just start on your new
plan. You will be surprised at how many times you sabotage your diet and
exercise plan without even realizing it.
4. Be persistent and overcome
There
will be times when you just don’t follow your plan. Perhaps it’s that
evening when you eat a whole bag of sweets in one sitting. Don’t let
this derail your entire journey. Use it as a lesson to be learned and
move forward.
5. Tell your friends and family about your goals
This will create some accountability for you and will also provide you with support from those who care about you and love you.
6. Remember that this is a lifestyle and not a diet
Diets
end. And when they do, you go back to what you did before, which means
you gain back the weight. Incorporate changes into your life that are
permanent.
7. Reward yourself
As
you meet your goals, choose non-food ways to reward yourself. Buy
yourself a new outfit, go watch the latest movie or splurge on a spa
session.
8. Don’t mind the scale
As
people begin new exercise and food regimens, your weight may very well
increase for a while. This is because you are gaining muscle and muscle
weighs more than fat. Pay attention to how your clothes fit and how much
you better you feel for at least the first few months.
9. Drink More Water
Many
people mistake the feeling of thirst for the feeling of hunger. Sip on
water all day long, making sure to consume 2.5 litres every day.
10. Add in the Fibre
Fibre
makes you feel fuller for a longer period of time. However, if you
currently don’t eat a lot of fibre, add it in slowly as too much at once
can cause digestion issues.
11. Ditch The Soda
There’s
nothing worse than drinking empty calories. And choosing diet sodas are
no better. Research is showing that diet sodas may actually lead to
weight and fat gain. If you need something fizzy to drink, choose
sparkling water or make your own water kefir.
12. Pack your lunch
Going
out to restaurants or grabbing snacks from the vending machine will
only lead to consuming too many non-nutritious calories. Plan ahead so
you have vegetables, fruits and lean protein in every meal.
13. Choose half portions when out with friends
Restaurant
portions have greatly increased in size over the years. Get yourself
back to what used to be normal and either select half portions, choose a
small appetizer or split your meal with someone else.
14. Snack away
Snacks
are not necessarily bad. Very small snacks of nutrient-dense foods can
help you feel full all day long and can help you from over-eating at a
mealtime. Choose a few almonds, a small apple or some chia pudding for a
healthy snack.
15. Use the apple rule
If
you decide you’re hungry, ask yourself if you’re hungry enough to eat
an apple. If the answer is “no”, then you are probably not eating
because of hunger. You may be eating out of boredom, stress or thirst
16. Buy smaller plates and bowls
Studies
show that as portions have increased over the years, so has our plate
size. Instead of leaving half your plate empty when serving yourself,
which may make you feel as if you’re being deprived, simply purchase
smaller plates and bowls.
17. Ingest the Healthy Fats
For
too many years, we’ve been told to eat a low-fat diet to lose weight.
This advice is wrong. When you eat a small amount of very healthy fats
every day, you will become less inclined to overeat. Healthy fats
include cold-pressed, non-processed oils such as virgin olive oil,
unrefined coconut oil, walnut oil or sunflower seed oil.
18. Eat Your Veggies
At
least 50% to 75% of your plate should be vegetables. Pick the colourful
ones, which have the most anti-oxidants and nutrients. Do not drown
them in unhealthy sauces or dressing. Simply use some real butter or
olive oil and vinegar to top them.
19. Drink green tea
Add
in a cup or two of green tea every day and you will also be
jumpstarting your metabolism and providing some energy. Don’t drink too
late in the day though, though as green tea does contain caffeine.
20. Double the Protein
Studies
have shown that people who double their lean protein level lose more
weight and fat than those who keep protein at a steady level.
Incorporate lean cuts of chicken, pork and beef and incorporate in every
meal. Eggs are also a delicious source of protein.
21. Start your day with a healthy breakfast
For
most people, skipping breakfast simply equates to gorging later when
they feel like they are starving. Make a high-protein and high-fibre
breakfast a priority and you will avoid this entirely.
22. Cut down on alcohol consumption
There’s
nothing worse than drinking empty calories and as much fun as a few
beers sound, these calories add up and can reverse any progress you’re
making. Once you hit a target weight, adding back a few beers shouldn’t
be an issue.
23. Make sure every meal has at least 3 food groups
Each
meal should have protein, vegetables and grains. When you choose
grains, make sure to choose whole grains that provide plenty of fibre
and nutrients.
24. Never Skip Meals
Always
make sure to plan out your meals and always make sure you have on hand
what you need to make those meals. The best way to get off track is to
stop planning what you’re going to eat. This means you grab whatever is
convenient and easy and that usually means unhealthy.
25. Add Cardio Exercises to Your Daily Routine
Cardio
burns more calories on average than almost every other activity.
Luckily, there are cardio choices to meet almost any personal taste.
Running, hiking, walking, cycling, elliptical machines, stair climbing,
rowing, skateboarding, playing soccer are all great examples of good
cardio choices.
It was the first time my granddaughter came to me and confided about her battle with oral and genital herpes and her self destructive thoughts.
ReplyDeleteA gaping vacuum of fear and love opened inside me. I knew what it felt like for her to be in such a situation. But after hearing how someone I loved so dearly struggled I have no option but to promise her help. I wanted to help in all possible ways. I sought counsels from an old and experienced nurse whom I've known to deal on natural herbs because I believed in nature. After hearing from me she smiled and before I could say another word she replied me there's cure but natural herbs. I don't care as long as my child is cured! I shouted. She told me about a doctor in Africa who has cured people of herpes. She gave me his email drutuherbalcure@gmail.com ,I contacted him immediately and then ordered medicine for my child which he sent through the UPS courier to me. My daughter started medication and the next day her mouth sores were physically healing and she told me it's working and within four weeks she testified to me that she was cured! I've always believed that nature has cure for any diseases and I'm happy to tell everyone my child is cured.
Six months later we went for another test to be sure and here is the result,
Six months after medications;
Her hsv1&2 test results;
Igm - 1.49
IgG - 0.36
She don't have any symptoms again and has moved on happily and is now in a serious relationship with her fiancee

Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2348149277967. if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because really honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
