7 Weight Loss Tricks to Help you Lose Those Extra Pounds
You don’t like to follow a strict diet to lose weight. I don’t like strict and drastic diets either. I have tried all kind of wacky stuff just to shed a couple of pounds. I have done many mistakes along the way. Here is what I have learned:
1)Buy a scale. I know you hate seeing that big number on it but it will motivate you to take action. It will be there to measure your results and keep in check your weight if you decide to go back to your old eating habits. If you can’t stand the idea of having a scale in your house use your clothes as a measure. Are your clothes becoming looser or tighter?
2)Eat healthy food. Avoid eating junk food and sweets. Stop going out and eating fast food. Your friends can eat whatever they want as long as you stick to your salad with some low fat grilled meat. It’ s also tasty.
3)Get a healthy lifestyle not a diet. If you want to lose weight and keep your fabulous looking body for a longer time you have to change your lifestyle. You have to get healthy eating habits and exercise more. Fruits and vegetables are your friend in the fight against fat.
4)Start lifting weights even if you are a woman. Weight lifting burns fatter faster than any other form of exercising. Anaerobic exercises increase your metabolic rate by 25% for up to 15 hours. You don’t just burn fats while working out but also after the workout is over.
5)Eat smaller portions of food. I bet you are overeating at each meal. If you would cut your meals in half you would lose weight pretty fast. Now don’t go overboard and starve yourself. Reduce the size of your meals so that you don’t get hungry soon but you aren’t full at the end of the meal.
6)Eat fresh food. You can eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, dairies, eggs, whole grain bread and cereals. There are plenty of choices. Try to fresh food that hasn’t been highly processed. Cook your food as little as possible and use only fresh ingredients in your cooking. Your whole family will appreciate it.
7)Eat slowly. When you start eating make sure that all you are doing is eating. I know you are good at multitasking but did you know that multitasking is fattening. Avoid watching the tv, don’t check your email or surf the web. Concentrate only on eating slowly and you will eat much less food.
