If you are like me you are probably totally sick of dieting because every
time you stop the weight comes flooding back on and you just cant stop it!
I have put together 10 more weight loss tips to try and sway you away from
the dieting run around and to try and put you on a more steady and healthy
course of weight loss.
Lets have a look at them:
Move More - Take every opportunity to expend more energy. Don't drive if
you can walk, don't walk if you can run. See activity as an opportunity
rather than an inconvenience. General moving burns a big 70% of your daily
calories so try to Eat Less and Move More.
We keep looking for a fast, magical, fat loss, weight loss, health and
fitness miracle but what would happen if we applied the simple concept of
eating less and moving more.
Eat less junk food, eat more fruit and veggie foods, Get some regular
cardio based exercise, Get stronger to protect your body, improve your
quality of life and turn your body into a fat burning machine and stick with
it rather than giving up after one week.
Don't Diet - If you're thinking of going on a diet to lose those extra
pounds think again. Long-term weight control through dieting is near
impossible, for the simple reason that diets promote only short-term
solutions. On a diet you'll certainly look lighter on the scales, but in
most cases this is because you've dumped a few pounds of body fluid, and not
because you've lost any significant amount of body fat.
Diets Don't Work - One of the main reasons diets don't work is because they
send the body into starvation mode - a survival mechanism for times when
humans faced periods of famine. Cutting back on our energy intake causes the
body to lower its metabolic rate, which reduces its ability to burn fat. At
the same time, hunger signals increase and we quickly start to crave high
energy foods loaded with fats and sugars - the exact foods we are trying to
do without!!!
Diets Put On Weight - Alarmingly, research has shown that repeated dieting
actually makes it harder to lose weight and easier to put it on!! This is
because when you dump the diet and return to normal eating habits, the drop
in metabolic rate caused by the diet means that your old eating habits
actually represent excess in calories. Not only do you regain the fat stores
just lost, but also you may even gain a bit extra.
Diets Are Unhealthy - A cycle of rapid weight loss followed by weight gain
can lead to loss of lean tissue from your muscles and calcium from your
bones. It also strips the body of essential vitamins and minerals. Too
little food means not enough energy for physical activity. Dieting causes
your body to conserve energy, making results harder to achieve.
Diets Make Food The Enemy - Food provides nourishment and comfort. Diets can
make you afraid to eat, depriving you of one of life's pleasures. Going from
one failed diet to the next can leave you feeling depressed and create a
cycle in guilt battles against food.
A Lifelong Plan - Regular physical activity and a healthy, balanced diet
aren't as glamorous as the quick fixes, but they do get better results.
Start with one extra exercise session and one less fatty takeaway meal per
week, and gradually work towards a lifelong plan for achieving your best
weight.
Sticking With It - If you change the way you eat or exercise to lose weight,
ask yourself this question. Can I see myself sticking to this routine for
life!! If the answer is "No" then it's time to change what you're doing.
Be Realistic - A realistic weight loss plan is around one to two pounds per
week. Fast weight losses are not fat loss but glycogen and water. If you
lose weight quickly then you will probable return back to the weight at
which you started as quickly as it was lost.
Healthy Eating - Increase the amount of fruits, vegetables, non-fat dairy
products, whole grains and beans that you eat. Eliminate calorie-dense foods
such as cookies, sugary desserts, chips, fries, pizza, candies, crackers
etc.
Research on people who have successfully lost a lot of weight and kept it
off long term, shows that the vast majority succeeded by consuming a low fat
diet high in fibre coupled with strength training and cardiovascular
activity.
Your goal is to start utilizing these tips into your everyday weight loss
regime to start losing weight consistently and for good.
