How do we get off the weight loss roller coaster? There are a number
of things you can do to get yourself back on the straight and narrow,
still be able to enjoy the foods we like and even splurge from
time-to-time. Here are some tips that have been proven to give you a
successful plan to help get your weight under control once and for all.
1. Figure out the weight that you have felt the best at in the past.
Once you know the difference in pounds between what you currently
weigh and where you would like to be you will have a goal to work with. A
good base to start with is trying to lose 2 pounds a week. Don’t be
discouraged; even if you need to lose 50 pounds dropping just one pound a
week for a year will result in a reduction of 52 pounds.
2. Decide on the type of weight loss program you are most comfortable with.
Don’t worry about eliminating any one food group from your diet. When
you force that procedure on yourself you just set yourself up for
failure. Going without your favorite food just will make you crave it
until you fall off the wagon and binge your way into a weight gain.
3. Write down everything you eat.
The same goes for eating. If you really want to see why you are not
losing weight, try writing down everything you put into your mouth. You
will be very surprised at how quickly a bite of this and a small taste
of that can add up.
4. Cut down on watching television by one hour each day.
This tip will help you in two ways – cut out one thing you do that
doesn’t require any action at all while increasing your activity level.
This will raise your circulation as well as increase your metabolism.
5. Add green tea to your beverages.
When you are adding more fluids to your daily regime, you should make
one glass green tea. This fluid is full of antioxidants and helps to
burn fat.
6. Start off your day with a breakfast that includes protein.
You should never skip breakfast,
but always make sure that you include protein in your first meal of the
day. It has been proven that if you have a full breakfast that includes
protein you will not be as hungry for lunch and less likely to overeat.
