Formula for losing weight
The formula for losing weight fast is straightforward: eat less and exercise more. But, it’s probably not all that simple, is it?
Long-term weight loss isn’t impossible, but you do have to be dedicated. Having a weight loss plan for your success is a good start. Here are ten items that should go into your weight loss program.
- Eat breakfast. This keeps you from getting too hungry afterwards and then losing control over what you decide to eat later in the day.
- Stock your family fridge and pantry with healthy foods and snacks and limit high-fat, high-salt snacks such as potato chips and cookies.
- Fill up on Fiber. Try to eat foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The fibers in these foods can fill you up leaving less room for unhealthy choices.
- Don’t fall into improper habits on weekends. Many people will follow a strict diet on weekends simply to fall back into consuming more (unhealthy) on the weekends as a reward for “being good” all week. Sadly, this could cause you to regain that weight you may have lost during the week.
- Set lifestyle goals – not weight reduction goals. Dedication to eating healthy foods does lead to healthy weight reduction – gradually. Looking at your weight daily could cause discouragement and will make many individuals give up and return to unhealthy food choices.
- Take healthy snacks with you when you take road trips. Grab healthy granola bars, bananas, apples along with other fruit to prevent the temptation of stopping for a candy bar or milk shake.
- Don’t deny yourself the foods you love. If you really like chocolate, go on and have a small pice – half of a candy bar instead of a whole one! And avoid eating your “splurges” every day. Save them for when you really want them!
- Start moving. Exercise is the key to long-term weight loss.
Fat reduction is achieved by both diet and exercise. It’s also obtained by persistence.
