To lose
weight requires a lot of effort and discipline. People always have weight loss
objectives and easily make a firm decision like “I’m going to lose weight fast”
at the very beginning. Then, have a “should” attitude and eventually “I mean
to.” Some just want to lose weight effortlessly.
However, healthy
and effective weight loss needs more than effort and discipline. It requires
knowledge through correct information. The following are weight loss tips from
weight loss experts Dr. Yoni Freedhoff and Dr. Arya Sharma.
Reduce Consumption of Calories in Drinks
Most people
give more attention to the amount of calories in foods they eat than they take
in drinks because liquids seem not to fill up as compared with solids.
If prior to a meal you already had 300 calories
from your drink, you can’t get less than 300 calories at your meal.
Get Enough Sleep
Several
studies have proved that not enough sleep contributes to weight gain. Lack of
sleep affects the production of stress and hunger hormones as well as the
ability of the body to process sugars in food.
Assess the Effectiveness of your Lose Weight Approach
Drastic
diet requires a lot of effort but you may only get little results while too
much relaxing diet makes your fat back.
It will likely
end up a failure if you just want to do something for a few weeks to lose
weight. The weight you had just shed is going to come back.
Be Realistic with your Goals
Too ambitious
in losing weight brings no good at all. It can only give you frustration for
not getting the results you want. It is ideal to set realistic goals, which
means something that you can actually achieve.
Small and
sustainable steps towards losing weight is a great way to start. You may just
start a diet plan that involves 10-minute exercise everyday rather than
starting an hour of exercise for 3 or 4 times a week that may result of giving
up new exercise program as a result of over fatigue.
Your diet
program should also start to cut off calories, carbohydrates, fats, etc. little
by little. Sudden stop of eating all your favorite but unhealthy foods is not a
good idea. You may end up not eating those foods for a couple of days but will
end up eating them again because of too much craving. Give yourself a chance to
adjust to your healthy lifestyle.
Give More Attention to Behaviors, Not Pounds
Make
healthy lifestyle as your habit. Kill those unhealthy habits of eating while
sitting, and watching a television. Keeping a food diary can greatly help for
monitoring calorie consumption. Do not skip meal. Eat regularly in a small
plate.
