There are many gimmicks you can see on television, print ads and the internet about losing weight. There are various diet, slimming and weight loss products promising great results in days. These types of fast weight loss products you've heard and tried, unfortunately may not be the best for you - worse you gain weight from it! I'm not kidding, some people I know actually gain weight from using some of these weight loss products.
There are no magic.
Gaining weight (fat) is no accident. You gained those unwanted poundages because of unhealthy lifestyle. And in order to lose weight you must change your lifestyle. Also, it doesn't mean that you need to go right into your nearest fitness club or gym for membership. This isn't necessary either for you to cut the fat. What you need are simple solutions you can employ everyday.
1) Walk everyday
There have been many studies proving that walking 1 hour everyday helps reduce weight among obese individuals. You don't need to run or jog, just walk. You can do this while going to your workplace, going home, while buying at the grocery store, shopping or at the park during weekends. Every time you have an opportunity to walk, do it. You'll see the difference after months of doing it.
2) Don't Skip Breakfast
Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day and skipping it is not a good idea. Aftr having an 8-10 hour fasting (while asleep) your body doesn't have supply of calories and goes to starvation mode. This makes your metabolism low which isn't good either if you want to cut the fat.
3) Never skip meals
Don't follow some advice that you need to literally "starve" yourself in order to lose weight. That's a wrong piece of advice. Your body instead do the opposite that is to "conserve" calories during starvation mode to protect your vital organs. Also, skipping your meal will not deliver necessary nutrients i.e. carbs, protein, fats, vitamins and minerals your body needs.
Instead, you can divide the portion of your meals through out the day. In that way, you can still enjoy the foods which you like without feeling sad and guilty.
4) Don't Eat while doing something else
In other words, avoid distraction while eating because you might tend to overeat without realizing it. There are many forms of distraction you can think off, such as watching T.V., nursing the baby, doing your work, budgeting etc. Savor each bite and chew your food slowly.
It is said that an individual's appetite lasts for about 20 minutes. If you rush and finish your plate, you still might feel hungry and get another bite.
5) Plan what you will eat
There's nothing wrong with listing the food you want to eat for the day. This way, you can avoid high fat and unhealthy food groups you can buy in your local fast food restaurant. Preparing your meal can be fun too. You can search for healthy and delicious recipes on the internet and share them with your friends and family.
Losing weight doesn't mean disappointing dinner or spending hundreds of dollars for a gym membership and trainer. You can lose weight naturally just by changing your lifestyle and have a good eating habit.
