1. Stop The Yo-Yo Cycle With These Simple Weight Loss Tips
It does not matter how much weight you need to lose. The fundamentals remain the same - you
need to use up more calories than you consume. Between diet and exercise, regular weight loss
can be easily achieved and here are some helpful ideas to get you started in the right direction.
That is the scales moving downwards.
You don't necessarily need to do exercises when trying to lose weight. This advice applies mostly
to those who dislike exercising out of mere obligation. You can sneak exercise into your routine by
doing things you enjoy like walking your dog or playing ball with the kids. This can be rewarding
and may not seem like work.
Fitness is an important factor in weight loss. It is important to try to get 30 minutes every day.
If you have children, meeting this goal can be simple, just play with them! Encourage your children
to go out each day and toss around the football or a frisbee. Go bike riding with them, or maybe
just a walk in the park. Doing this will achieve three things all at the same time. 1) You are sticking
to your exercise routine. 2) It helps you spend quality time with your children. 3) It helps you teach
your children proper fitness habits!
Sneak in your much needed exercise. By sneaking in little exercises here and there, you will burn
additional calories without the effort of an extra workout. For example, do calf raises or squats for
two minutes while you brush your teeth or do crunches and push-ups during commercial breaks of
your favorite TV show.
One great tip for losing weight is to never let yourself go hungry. Eating small meals or snacks
throughout the day will prevent you from eating too much at any given time. You can eat a variety
of different things, as you would at a meal, just make sure it is a smaller portion each time you eat.
Also, make sure your choices are relatively healthy.
Chew your meals slowly to ensure you don't overeat at mealtimes. This promotes weight loss by
taking advantage of the natural timing of the digestive process. It takes several minutes for your
brain to catch up to your stomach, making it easy to unintentionally eat past the point of fullness.
If you want to get a handle on weight loss, it's important to understand the concept of nutrient
density. Traditionally, nutrient density has been spoken of in terms of nutrients per unit of weight or
volume, i.e. calories per ounce, etc. Of far more use, however, is to think of the nutrient density in
terms of nutrients per CALORIE. Measured by that standard, a head of romaine lettuce, which has
about 100 calories, is many times more loaded with nutrients per calorie than almost any other
2. food. It's just that most of us don't think of eating an entire head of romaine lettuce. These findings,
based on research suggest that focusing on the most nutrient-dense foods (by calorie, not by
weight) will help people lose the greatest amount of weight.
Slow and steady weight loss is better and more sustainable than fad diets and a rapid decrease in
numbers. A long-term change in attitude towards food and exercise is what is required for the
pounds to come off and stay off. But remember that it can be done, and you will reach your goals
with a little perseverance.
