When you are
beginning a new weight loss program (or trying to make your current
weight loss program work for you) it can be a big help to have some
handy tips to help you along. A weight loss program is almost always a
huge undertaking for a lot of people and as such breaking down your
program is going to break down your work and it's going to make sticking
to your weight loss program a lot easier for you to stick to, and thus a
lot more effective!
Weight Loss Tip #1: Get Real!
This
is the first weight loss tip you're going to see in any article
claiming weight loss tips. It's because setting unrealistic goals in
your weight loss program is the most common error that deters a lot of
people from really sticking with it. While it's good to have an ultimate
goal, you want to set smaller goals for you to meet along the way.
Setting smaller goals allows you to achieve them and get ever closer to
your ultimate goal. Baby steps is the key to any weight loss program.
You have to learn to crawl before you can walk right?
Weight Loss Tip #2: Preparation! Preparation! Preparation!
This
is the most painful part at the start of any weight loss program, but
it's one of the best things to do to get you started on your path to
weight loss. It's time to get rid of your potato chips, your Coke, your
hidden treasure trove of chocolate, and anything else you might have
stashed away. Having this stuff around makes it way too easy for you to
cheat while on your weight loss program, and unless you are a
self-control machine then there's no way you're going to meet the goals
you've set for yourself unless you take the precautionary steps to
remove temptation. Make a list of the healthy foods you need and stock
them in mass quantities. If you're worried about healthy food not
tasting as good, look up some health food recipes because there is good
stuff out there!
Weight Loss Tip #3: A Rewarding Weight Loss Program is a Successful Weight Loss Program
It's
something you'll learn in any first year psychology class, human beings
naturally excel at tasks when there is tangible or periodic reward. You
want to buy that new CD that just came out? Well if you meet your next
goal then treat yourself to your favourite music. Beware with rewards
though, don't reward yourself with junk food, you've gotta stick to that
weight loss program!
Weight Loss TIp #4: The Most Important Meal Of The Day!
You've heard the
saying so many times about Breakfast being the most important meal of
the day, but why do people say that all the time anyway? It's because
it's true. Your breakfast provides you with the energy to keep going
through the day, and eating a healthy breakfast will actually help you
with your weight loss. When you don't eat breakfast it actually tricks
your body in to believing that it could be starving and so it goes in to
a mode which not only will hinder your self control around junk food,
but it will also try and guard against the burning of precious fats and
calories in your body (because you need that stuff to survive if you
happen to be starving!) Always make sure to eat a complete breakfast! It
really IS the most important meal of the day!
Weight Loss Tip #5: Don't Just Eat Healthy, ACT Healthy!
Hopefully
your weight loss program already includes something about getting
plenty of exercise. It's important to complement your weight loss
program with a healthy dose of exercise. In fact, it's one of the big
factors that can make or break your weight loss program. The fact is
that if you can stick to a weight loss program which involves a proper
diet and exercise, no matter what program it is, you WILL lose weight!
It's what your body needs!
Weight Loss Tip # 6: So You Like To Sleep? That's Good!
7-8
Hours of Sleep per night. That's what the average adult needs each and
every day. It keeps your body working in perfect order, it repairs all
parts of your body and mind in tact and you need to keep both of those
at your best in any weight loss program!
If you can follow these
six simple tips, I have no doubt that you're going to see some results
in trying to lose weight! The power to lose weight is in your hands
though, you've got to be the one that makes you stick to both these tips
and your own personal weight loss program, if you can do that then
you're going to lose weight! Good Luck!
