In this article I will outline a few tips that will help you lose weight. Now these tips are a little less known. In other words, they are not just your typical "diet and excersise" tips but are a little more "advanced".
Tip #1: Make small goals
Say that you want to lose 50 pounds in one year. Now I want you to tell me which option sounds better.
Option A
Its new years and you want to lose 50 pounds, So you say that your new years resolution is "I want to lose 50 pounds this year".
Option B
Its new years and you want to lose 50 pounds, so you say " I want to lose 1 pound a week this year."
If you chose option B than you are correct. You are much more likely to stay on track if you make small goals and take it one step, or one pound at a time.
Tip #2: Keep a food log
You should always, always, keep a food log. If you can't keep track of what you're eating, how are you supposed to change it so you can lose weight? Here is what I want you to do. If you cannot remember what you ate at the end of the day, keep a notepad with you and write down everything that you eat. If you can remember do it at the end of the day. Now go to a website like calorieking.com and calculate how many calories you ate that day. If you have more than about 2000 you are overeating.
Tip #3: Its not only a calories game
Many people think that if they are eating the right amount of calories a day than they are fine. These people are wrong. It matters what kind of calories you are eating. Many people eat 2000 calories of sugary, processed and fatty foods and wonder why they are not losing weight. You need to be eating the right things. So instead of having a 500 calorie bowl of cereal for breakfast, it is much better for you to have 500 calories worth of eggs and toast.
These tips will help you in your weight loss. Remember weight loss takes 2 things, nutrition and exercise. You will not get far if you try to do one without the other.
Thanks for reading.
