To not only lose weight but to have better health,
to have energy,
to not strain your body or restrict it to unbearable and unhealthy measures
just to “look healthy”.
There is a HUGE difference in looking healthy and being healthy!
So to help, I am going to give you 10 insights of losing weight to
look and feel healthier.
1.
CONTROL YOUR PORTIONS: pay attention to serving sizes. Controlling
YUPP, REALLY! THAT IS IT!
10 EASY STEPS THAT WILL LOSING WEIGHT
So there you go!!! 10 steps to successful weight loss.
However if you don’t know how much you should be consuming?
Go to ChooseMyPlate.gov
portions is the greatest predictor to weight loss. This can be learning to read
a nutrition label, measuring out servings, eat only one helping, use smaller
serving dishes, and avoid the urge to “clean the plate”. When going out to
dinner places tend to up the portion sizes and one always tries to “clean the
plate”. Trust me I know, I am guilty. When out try once receiving your food ask
for a to go box and separate your food immediately. This will help from
overeating.
2.
BE MINDFUL: meaning eat when you are hungry and stop when you are
full!!!! Meaning pay attention to everything you eat. Do you eat when you are
bored, upset, angry, tired, or even full? Emotional eating is the enemy!!!! When
going to get food ask yourself, “why?”
3.
EXERCISE: if it is to lose weight or keep weight off, move! 150 minutes
a week is recommended for health benefits. This is average 30 minutes a day.
That is it. If it is walking to work or school every day, parking farther away
from the door when going shopping or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
There are so many things you can change in your everyday routine that will help
towards getting active.
4.
CHECK THE SCALE: This does not mean become obsessed with the scale or
to check it day and night. The reason for this is to check once a week! Being
able to see your weight go up or down and evaluate it on what you have ate that
week, how much exercise you had; can be a great motivation and
understanding.
5.
EAT BREAKFAST: 78 percent of people eat breakfast, 4 percent NEVER do
(Wyatt et al., 2002). I mean what, really no breakfast? How do you function?
Hahahah. Make these healthy choices though. Even just a granola bar and juice is
great! Have something on your stomach. This will help speed up your metabolism.
Which will help your body burn calories throughout the day!
6.
MONITOR INTAKE: this is not to be confused with portion control. This
insist of a “food journal”. This is highly effective and proven strategy to
weight loss. Why so? Because with this you are aware of what you have put into
your body that has given you the results you see during that time
frame.
7.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW; GET STARTED NOW &’D DON’T CHEAT: it is
easy to put something off. And 9 times out of ten, people don’t fall through.
Just as putting off is easy, so is cheating. Ever heard “one cookie won’t
hurt?”. Yeahhhh….. don’t listen to that. Discipline yourself to “rewarding”
yourself with a cheat treat. Not when you see and want something or have the
urge. Rewarding yourself with a cheat MEAL *don’t over do it* a week actually
help with further compelling urges. Also get this, people who take a cheat meal
are 150 percent more likely to maintain their weight loss (Gorin et al., 2004.).
8.
TURN OFF THE TUBE: too much TV not only makes you inactive and
expanding min amounts of calories but also mindless eating. Which multiplies
calorie intake. Honestly are you paying attention to what you’re putting into
your mouth when watching tv? Yeahhhh that bag of chips magically vanished while
watching that movie.
9.
KNOW YOUR FRIENDS: harsh? Not at all. To succeed one must surround
themselves with successful people. Ever heard of that? Truest words! Instead of
constantly catching up with friends for dinner, that 3am trip to WhatABurger; Go
to the park and walk, go to the gym.
10.
BE OPTIMISTIC: this means have perceived control, positive
expectations, empowerment, a fighting spirit, and lack of helplessness. Adopting
these behaviors are more successful with their weight
loss.
10 EASY STEPS THAT WILL LOSING WEIGHT
AND KEEPING IT OFF, IN NO TIME!!!
