Simple Tips to Accelerate Your Weight Loss
You have battled weight loss and weight gain over and over. It gets old. Even if you have struggled in the past, it is time to start fresh. Use the information here to help motivate you, because this thing can be done!
Commit yourself for the long term!
I often tell my clients and apprentices that a diet is not what it sounds like or what you may have heard. A diet isn't a fad or a plan to get you to a desired weight or fitness goal. A diet is a way of life. Losing weight and deciding to live a healthier life is a life style change. Don't forget to commit yourself to a long-term outcome. Do the kinds of activities and exercises that you enjoy so that you will continue to do them for a long time. Shortcuts and easy fixes will only get in the way of what should be a lifelong commitment to your health. These short term fixes never address the bad habits which will lead to back to where you first started.
Vitamin C
You may have heard that vitamin C benefits our bodies in many ways. But it also helps those trying to lose weight in that it converts glucose in to energy. Glucose is a simple sugar that is usually found in the body as fat. You will enjoy many foods that are rich in vitamin C. The list includes: broccoli, green peppers, kiwi fruit, lemons, oranges and even cabbage. There are thousands of others!
Brush your teeth?
One way to help with weight loss is to brush your teeth right after eating dinner. This tells your body you are done with food for the night. The minty clean feeling discourages snacking or drinking high calorie liquids. A minty mouth and greasy potato chips, for example, do not go well together.
Do not deprive yourself!
Make it a point not to deprive yourself. If you are used to eating a lot of things that are not healthy for you, it is better for you to cut them out of your diet gradually. Eliminating too many things too fast will most likely lead to binge eating later. Again, going back to the bad habit thing. Address the short comings in your current eating regime and I do not recommend going cold turkey on anything.
Eat more soup..
One helpful tip for losing weight is to eat soups, especially for the evening meal. Soups can vary a lot in body and texture, but all are comforting and filling. The high amount of liquid fills you up, and they can be quite nutritious with the addition of beans, whole grain pasta, brown rice, vegetables, and lean meats. You can consume a great deal of soup compared to the volume of solid food you would be able to eat containing the same calories, and walk away feeling much more satisfied.
Online Community
Sign up with an online community that focuses on weight loss. Not only will you get valuable information, but you will be in a support group that will keep you motivated in your endeavor. This is also a good support system for people who are too self-conscious to join a group in person.
Fish instead of red meat.
Choosing fish instead of meat, can help you to lose weight. You will still feel full, but at the same time, decrease your calorie intake. Seafood products are often lighter, with less fat, while still providing protein along with an array of intriguing tastes and textures. By eating less red meat (even less white meat) and choosing fish, you give your diet a much-needed boost.
These are simple tips that you can implement right away. As highlighted, make the small changes before making drastic changes in your diet. These will help you maintain and sustain your weight loss! Now you are equipped with the knowledge and know how to see results right away. Good luck!
