This is a list of 7 free weight loss tips that
you can use to enhance your weight loss program. Or they can be used to help you
decide which weight loss plan is best for you and your objectives.
Weight Loss Tips Number One - Goal
Setting
Decide what you want to achieve and set your goals. For
some of you, it might only be a couple of kilograms or pounds. And for others it
may be a complete body change such as body building or body sculpting. Developing
more muscle will help you to look lean, trim and strong. This type of body will
also burn more calories more effectively and typically when you sleep.
Weight Loss Tips Number Two - Portion
Control And Frequency
Watch the size of your meals! It may be suggestive to
consume five - six smaller sized meals throughout the day. Your body can digest the
food alot quicker and it can also help increase your metabolism. You could try
changing the size of the plates that you eat from. Maybe you could change your
lunch and dinner plate to a bread and butter plate. You could also put your cereal
into a coffee mug as this is a better indication of the recommended 30g
serving.
Weight Loss Tips Number Three - Discover
your weakness
Keep a diary of the foods you consume over a three to five
or seven day period. Note the time, the amount you ate, what it was and why you ate
it. Emotional eating can be a big contributer to becoming over weight. We all do
it! We can chose to eat when we are upset, mad, happy, annoyed or joyous. Emotions
can create hungry monsters. Once you have determined your weaknesses around the
types of food you eat and why, you can then determine alternatives
to eliminate those impulse actions of unnecessary eating!
Weight Loss Tips Number Four - H2O to go
please
Water is one of your biggest defenders against hunger pains
in between meals and snack. Water is a natural appetite suppressant and it can help
flush those unwanted toxins from your body! Look to drink around 8 eight glasses of
water per day. It may also help clear your skin and it will definitely keep you
hydrated.
Weight Loss Tips Number Five - Look in the
mirror
Jumping on the scales every morning might not be the best
idea. With additional water intake, the scales can fluctuate from one day to the
next. If you are half a pound heavier than the day before, you may give up! Instead
get your gear off, stand in your underwear and notice the changes that you see in
front of you. Tape measures are good too, however if you don't have the tape
measure in the exact same place then the measurements may alter. The other option
is to use your clothing as a way to measure your weight loss progress.
Weight Loss Tips Number Six - What's for
breakfast?
Skipping breakfast will just out right ruin your day.
Breakfast helps us burn calories throughout the day by getting our metabolism going
and fueling our bodies for daily activities. Eating this meal will help you
concentrate more, it will stop you from over eating. Fuel up with some rolled oats,
honey, sprinkled with ground flax seed and trim milk. Guaranteed you'll feel
satisfied.
Weight Loss Tips Number Seven - Move that
butt!
Get active. Now's the perfect time to get moving. Park the
car a few blocks away from work. Or even better yet just walk to work, ride a bike
or take the train. Partake in anything that is going to make you more active.
Depending on your goals, any physical movement is going to be better than nothing
at all. For those of you with spare cash, a personal trainer might be your best
defense against the bulge! And Pt's are wonderful motivator's.
