Below
are 5 Tips to Help You Lose Weight:
(1)
Written Diet Plan - A good diet plan is
essential. This plan
must
be written down and you must be committed to following
it
on most days. Of course there will be days when you DON'T
follow
your plan and during those days, FORGIVE YOURSELF
and
move on to the next day.
(2) Include Foods You Like - Any
diet plan must consist of foods
that
you normally eat. The trick is to cut portions. Small portions
of
meats (stick with fish and poultry), pasta and other carbohydrates combined with
larger
portions of vegetables. Be sure not to drench your veggies
in
too much butter or overcook them.
(3) Limit Calorie Consumption - I know this is not popular.
People
do
not want to hear that losing weight demands some type of
sacrifice.
But the bottom line is "YOU MUST BURN MORE CALORIES
THAN
YOU TAKE IN TO LOSE WEIGHT". Therefore, weight loss will
happen
more quickly by limiting calorie consumption to 1200 - 1400
calories
if you're a women and 1500 - 1700 calories for men.
(4) Give Yourself A Free Day - All plans become cumbersome if
you
don't allow some freedom. Always allow one free day of eating every
7
to 10 days.
(5) Include Exercise in Your Plan
- Write down the day and time
you
will exercise. The preferred exercise is walking at a fast pace.
This
can be done at lunch, before work or immediately after work,
3
to 6 times each week. If you're really short on time, plan walks
for
the weekend plus one walk during the weekday. Remember to
walk
at a brisk pace to get the most calorie burn from your exercise.
