7 Simple Rules For Losing Weight

By Caroline Monroe


Beginning the process to drop weight in 2 weeks is an hard-won undertaking but it is possible ! Weight loss is dependent upon 7 basic fundamentals that are necessary to finding a healthy and fit lifestyle. With the proper foundation you are capable of looking better and feel better within just weeks.

Eat a Low Fat and High-Carbohydrate Diet. Typically when people hear carbohydrates or "carbs" they commonly think of pastas and breads, however, complex carbohydrates are found in many forms such as beans and veggies . Increasing your volume of complex carbohydrates that include legumes and veggies (approx 50% to 60% of your daily consumption of calories) will ensure that your daily allowance of fats are low.

Exercise Daily. Exercise is the key to achieving and maintaining your weight loss. Exercising between 60 minutes and an hour and a half a day is recommended for people planning to lose weight. It may sounding like a great deal but even walking for 2 thirty minute sessions totaling an hour it is better for you than not working out at all. When you are just starting out, begin at a moderate pace and work your way up to working out for a full hour. Going too fast in the beginning can lead to injuries and injuries can lead to dismay. 60 to 90 minutes of exercise a day may seem like a good deal to many people, but if losing weight is important to you, meaning better health and looking and feeling better about yourself, then an hour is nothing.

Eat Breakfast. Although it is extremely necessary to keep your calories down in the 1,400 to 1,600 calorie per day range, it is also very critical that you begin your day with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast can ignite your metabolism right from the start of your day and also stop overeating later on in the day. A win-win.

Keep Track of Your Weight Loss. As you start your weight loss program it is good to reach certain goals so that you will remain motivated. Most weight loss programs will be dependent on you to start exercising, and when you do begin your weight will fluctuate with water weight and muscle gain. Because of this back and forth , it's possible to become disappointed. This is why I recommend only weighing yourself once per week and jotting it down. Keeping track of this will give you a better idea of your actual weight loss and keep you on track.

Schedule Exercise. It's easy to say "I'm going to the gym today", but sometimes it's hard to actually achieve this. Scheduling the particular time that you'll be at the gym and leaving the gym are an important part of achieving your goal and following your weight loss plan. Bringing your gym bag in your car will help you avoid any wavering in your plan. Its easier to go straight to the gym after work, then it is to go home and get changed, decompress for a second then go to the gym. Let the momentum of your day to carry you to the gym.

Plan Meals. If hunger strikes you , do you know what you are going to eat to settle your pangs ? Preparing your meals is really a great way to curb those strong urges for food for junk or mid-day empty calorie treats. A bag of carrots , or a pre-made sandwich that you have brought with you can go a long way in winning the weight loss battle. A simple meal plan can help you stick to any weight loss program at a higher rate of success.

Stay Optimistic. Get rid of those self-defeating thoughts and poor mentalities that are going to only hold you back. They have the power to keep you from reaching your destination. Negativity and self-doubt are your enemy and maintaining a convinced mindset can be your ally.

Weight loss can be difficult and it may feel like an uphill battle first off, but like anything worth doing, it takes time . Recognizing and sticking to these 7 key laws will help you lose weight faster and get you to where you really should be faster , and help you continue with a healthy lifestyle longer. Looking and feeling better doesn't have to be so hard.
