Get Weight Loss Tips

Weight loss is possible only with some discipline in your day to day life; so follow these tips to bring some discipline in your weight loss routine. Make it a point to add five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet as they have fibers, vitamins and antioxidants that fill your stomach and are low in calories. Keep a watch on your portion sizes as though a serving of pasta equals ½ cup cooked pasta, restaurants serve 4 servings of pasta in a pasta dish. Don’t clean off the plate in such conditions; just take home the leftover food. Don’t skip meals as eating frequent meals in a day help in balancing your calorie intake and keeping a balanced blood sugar level. Eat more of wholesome, fresh foods and avoid packed, processed and convenient foods like fast food as they have high sodium and fat content. In fact, you can very well lose weight by eating only home cooked food, and stopping outside food. Reaching out to people to discuss your weight problems proves very beneficial in weight loss. It feels good to know there are others sailing in the same boat; and their moral support provides the push for you to reduce as much weight as possible. Taking before and after photos will provide the inspiration and delight for losing weight. Once you lose weight, you will really despise yourself for being overweight on looking at your before pictures.
Make it a habit to read labels of whatever you eat. It is important that you are aware of what you put in your mouth; so triple check ingredients and the serving sizes so that you can adjust your caloric consumption to reduce weight. It is difficult to lose weight on your own. So inform your family and friends that you intend to lose weight so that they don’t unknowingly sabotage your efforts. There will be some friends out there who can provide you with tips on losing weight too. Make it a point to fit in some physical activity in your day to day life. A long walk of 30 minutes everyday and about two sessions of weight bearing exercises help you burn those unwanted calories. Choose whichever exercise you enjoy doing; if it’s cycling go cycling. If you like playing badminton, get a partner and go ahead. There is no point in doing something you don’t like as you will never stick with that exercise for long.
It is better to exercise while listening to some music as it takes your mind off the physical activity. Instead of concentrating on what you do, and drag the exercise session, you can make exercise time fly by listening to music. Remember to never compare yourself with others as different people have different body frames, body types and metabolic rates. It is because of this that different people lose weight at different rates.Last, but not least, set realistic goals for losing weight. Instead of going on a crash diet and losing a few pounds in a week, only to regain them in a month, it is better to lose weight slowly and steadily. Aim for small goals that lead to a bigger goal; this makes losing weight easier and more practical.

What are your best tips for weight loss success?
I’m looking for some new weight loss tips, I work out regularly and I’ve cut out excess white sugar and complex carbs, how have you successfully lost weight?
Please, no advice if it hasn’t worked for you or someone you personally know
Thanks ahead of time for your answers, and I’ll be sure to pick a best answer to give those points!
Use a smaller plate.

Drinks lots and lots of water.
Try eating more throughout the day in smaller portions, this gets your metabolism going faster and promotes weight loss.
Don’t eat late at night, because your body won’t digest the food as much while you sleep which causes weight gain.
Every other day (if you have time) try doing some type of cardio. Whether it’s running, uphill walking, jogging, stair climbing, bicycling.. these all increase your metabolism.
If you need more energy weight loss pills can actually help in moderation, and maybe start drinking a meal replacement shake as a snack before or after a workout to get the essential proteins and vitamins you need.
I hope these help, I’ve tried all of them and lost 10 pounds in the past month. Good luck =]

well if you work out regularly and cut out sugar and carbs, you should be all set. So where’s the big mystery? LoL. For me, I stopped drinking soda, eating fast food, etc completely and did a lot of walking every day and over the course of about 4 months lost over 50 lbs.

For me, weight maintenance, while not a struggle, requires a routine. I do not work out. I hate exercise. I do however walk to where I need to go when necessary, consume a food group rich with protein, ie: fish, eggs, cottage cheese, lo sugar non fat yogurt,whole grain breads, baked potatoes, green leafy veggies, turnips, mustard’s, collard, lean beef, occasional pork steak, asian veggies, green peppers stuffed with lean hamburger brown rice, flavored with garlic, salt and pepper, and baked with tomato sauce, cabbage rolls stuffed with the same meat/rice combo. Shishkabobs are fun, easy to make, I love sliced tomatoes, and raw fruit. I have been maintaining my weight of 130# for years with little difficulty. I avoid ice creams, most sweets, but do indulge in an occasional donut. Anyone can do this. Rationalization is not acceptable. Oh, and a light beer or two once a week.

I wish you had posted your present workout plan, but I can give you some tips to get you too the next phase of fitness.
If you can do LISS(low intensity steady state), early morning easy walking, even on a treadmill for 40mins on an empty stomach, you will burn fat, while holding onto your LBM(lean body mass), which is the key for you to burning fat. Always remember, if you do cardio and weights correctly, you will hold onto LBM, so you can burn fat. If you do things like run on a day you lift weights, you will burn up muscle, a no no, so always choose LISS early morning and 20mins after weights. If you want to run, or do run intervals,only run on days you don’t lift weights…..so again, you hold onto muscle.
For meals, you should be eating 5-6meals per day, protein/carbs/healthy fats(I wonder why you cut out complex carbs?) They are what supports energy building for LBM, along with protein and healthy fats…..so you boost your metabolism all day. You need to have the proper ratios to support LBM. Eat things like lean steak, grilled chicken breast, tuna, 1-yolk with 2 whites, toast, oatmeal, potatoes, cheerios, olive oil lightly drizzeled over your salad, 4 walnuts, danon light yogurt….with these choices, you can form 5-6 small meals or 2 as snacks easily!
If you can eat properly to support LBM, and ignore the scale weight, you will look terrific! The above are some of the rules and tips I use for my clients for success! With all my clients, they learn that the scale moves slowly or not at all, or sometimes they gain, but that is because their muscle to fat ratio is so high, and muscle weighs more, but they lose inches and feel great, and need to buy new clothes!
I hope this helps! Good luck!
