Are you trying to lose weight? Well here are my top 10 weight loss tips that might help you with your journey.
1. Keep a food diary. This can actually be quite fun and you can just write down the foods you eat every day, you can post them on a blog or you can even take photos and do a food photo diary or blog. Just by keeping track of everything that you eat makes you much more aware of when you are eating too much junk foods.
2. Keep an exercise diary. If you haven’t done much exercise it can be difficult to get started and to keep motivated to do it. Once again if you keep a diary or write in a blog about the exercise that you do, it helps to keep you on track.
3. Eat good fats. Don’t try to eliminate fat altogether from your diet as your body does require some fats for good health. The key is to eat good fats, such as those found in olive oil and fish, and avoid bad fats like those found in butter, bacon, etc.
4. Eat smaller but regular meals throughout the day. This helps to keep your blood sugar level throughout the day and not get to the stage where you are feeling really hungry. It is when you get to that real hunger stage that you tend to eat something quick and usually something fattening.
5. Avoid alcohol. Unfortunately alcohol is quite fattening so try to keep alcohol to a minimum and don’t overdo it.
6. Add a daily walk to your schedule. As much as walking might not interest or excite you all that much, after a while you will start to enjoy your daily walk. Just a 20 to 30 minute walk every day will give you amazing weight loss results.
7. Eat high protein foods. Foods high in protein will keep the hunger pains at bay as they has a natural appetite suppressant effect. Protein food will also burns more calories during the digestive process so you don’t gain as much weight with these foods as you do with other foods.
8. Get a weight loss partner. If you know someone else that wants to lose weight, then why not do it together. Having a weight loss partner helps you to stay motivated longer and you are more likely to succeed with your diet.
9. Stick to low-fat dairy products. Many people avoid dairy products when trying to lose weight, but if you stick with the low-fat types then you really can have as much of it as you like. This is protein and so keeps you filling full longer and low-fat dairy is not very fattening at all. Plus the added benefit of giving you the calcium that you need.
10. Have a cheat day. The worst thing about dieting is not being able to eat your favourite foods and because of this restriction many people will give up on their diet. By allowing yourself to have a cheat day on occasion, you can enjoy your favourite foods and are more likely to stick to your diet.
Dieting is never easy, but it does get easier the longer you stick with it. You need to be ready to make a whole lifestyle change and when you start seeing the weight fall off and feeling the health benefits you will be glad you stuck to it.
It took me years before I was finally successful at losing weight. Now,with the help of the EveryOtherDayDiet I have finally reached my goal weight.
