Weight Loss Tips

When looking to lose weight a lot of people do not want to make the necessary changes to large that will bring them fast and healthy weight loss. If you are one these people, this does not mean that you can not begin to lose weight at a slower pace by following some tips and weight loss.

 Here are some weight loss tips that you can use to get started. Choose small number to help you get started. And make these small changes will not help you get rid of the pounds very rapid, but if you are consistent you will see overweight fruition with the passage of time. I would suggest that in the start of each week you read through the Weight Loss Tips and chose one more you can add to your life.

Eat Breakfast. This might be the best weight loss tip out there. If you eat a healthy breakfast it tells your body to wake up and your metabolism to get a move on.

Don't let yourself get to starving. This leads to over eating. Pack single serve snacks like almonds to ward off any hunger pangs. This helps you avoid buying a bag of something that you will eat all of.

Drink a glass of water when you think you are hungry. Sometimes our body confuses thirst with hunger.

Don't put all of the food on the table. Use a buffet style serving so that you have to get up to get more food. This makes you think twice about second helpings rather than mindlessly grabbing another chicken leg.

Sit down and use a plate to eat. This kind of goes with weight loss tip number 4 but I thought it needed restated. It is easy to consume a large amount of calories standing at the kitchen counter without feeling like you have had a meal.

Eat a salad once a day. This is not potato salad people! A small lettuce salad with minimal dressing is a good addition to any meal.

Don't measure your food, configure your plate. If you want to have a healthy balance on your dinner plate fill half of your plate with a green salad and raw veggies. Use a spray dressing like vinaigrette for calorie control. Fill one quarter of your plate with a cooked vegetable and one quarter of your plate with your meat or protein dish. No measuring and no calorie counting. You will get a balanced meal every time. Just don't go back for seconds.

Drink cold water. Make sure you are staying well hydrated. If your body isn't getting enough fluids it will hold on to the ones you are giving it which will result in water retention. When your water is cold you burn a few more calories to warm it up.

Get your move on. If you don't like to exercise then don't. However, you need to get to moving. Go for a walk or better yet, put on your favorite tunes and dance, dance, dance. Don't worry if you look silly. If you have little kids have them join you and you will be the hit of the party.

Think positive thoughts and give yourself compliments. Don't let yourself have a negative attitude. You probably have enough of that in your life that you don't need to add to it. Leave yourself positive notes on your mirror, inside the fridge and on your sun visor. You got this! You are worth the effort! Never give up!
