Top Ten Weight Loss Tips

Top Ten Weight Loss Tips by Barry Hughes

There are thousands of diet books published each year on weight loss. You see the late night television infomercials with their pills, equipment and programs. They all promise fast and sometimes incredible weight loss results. The truth is that you can lose weight on any diet, well at least for awhile. The problem is in keeping the weight off. I have come up with my top 10 weight loss tips that if followed will result not only in weight loss but permanent weight loss.

1> Make a list of the reasons why you want to lose weight
There is a saying "If you don't know where your going then any road will take you there". A goals list helps you focus on your reasons to do it along with what weight you want to be at in the end. Review this list daily to always keep it fresh in your mind of exactly why you are doing it.

2> Cut your calorie intake by at least 500 calories per day
Here is the hidden secret: 3500 calories equals 1 pound. To lose one pound of fat per week your body needs to burn 500 more calories per day then it consumes. If you cut your caloric intake by 250 calories and burn 250 calories exercising per day then you could easily lose weight with these two techniques alone. Cutting just 500 calories a day would result in a 52 lb weight loss in one year.

3> Get at least 7-8 hours sleep each night
Some amazing things happen when you sleep. Your body goes into repair mode and recharges itself. Muscles don't grow when your working out. They grow when you sleep to repair the damage down to the muscle during the workout. I also believe that this is when the miracle of weight loss has it's greatest advantage so don't neglect it.

4> Take a multi vitamin daily
Multi vitamin supplements are needed to help boost your general health. When you gained weight, you were probably not eating the best foods available. It is my opinion that a multi vitamin will help aide your body in processing food better and in muscle development.

5> Limit Sodas to diet and drink more water
This was a very hard one for me but if you can switch to diet or preferably water you can cut an additional 100 or more calories per bottle. For example: If you drank 5 bottles of soda every day and at as usual that would amount to a 3500 calorie deficit per week resulting in a 1 pound weight loss in and all by itself. That would add up to a 52 pound weight loss in one year just by getting rid of the soda pop.

6> Increase natural food intake, reduce processed foods
Natural foods such as vegetables and fruits are for the most part already low calorie choices. Processed foods add tons of sugar and other ingredients that you can't even pronounce. Do your body a favor a stay away from processed foods as much as possible. Processed foods are high calorie, non-nutrient foods for the most part.

7> Exercise at least 3-4 times per week
Depending on several factors such as weight, age, type of exercise and frequency; you can burn several hundred calories in just 30 minutes while at the same time building muscle. Muscle burns more calories thus it's a win - win situation. The more muscle you build the more calories you will burn. Exercising also helps increase your metabolism which is a calorie eater.

8> Keep A Food Diary, Journal Or Blog
Keeping track of what you eat, why you eat and what's going on with your body is important in weight loss success. First, it keeps you focused on your goal. Second, if you stop losing weight then you can review your journal to see if there is something that you are eating or exercise that you are not doing.

9> Find A Weight Loss Partner
Finding another person to help each of you lose weight. It can help greatly in weight loss by keeping you focused on your goals and making you accountable for your weight loss. When things make not be going the way you want they can be a great person for inspiration, advice and a sounding board.

10> Create A Plan And Stick With It
Layout exactly how and what you will eat. There are thousands of diet plans on the market. Everything from "The South Beach Diet, The Zone, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Nutra System, Jenny Craig" etc. The list is endless. Which ever plan you choose - stick with it and plan an end date to achieve your goal. Doctors suggest not to lose more than 2 pounds per week so for example; if you have 50 pounds to lose then your goal would be to reach your weight loss no sooner than 25 weeks from the day you start. It is however very important to have some date in mind to give you something to strive for.

Reward yourself as you lose the weight. Give yourself little gifts along your weight loss journey to reward your efforts. Check out my blog at www.barryhughes.com and I'll see you lighter, later.

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are a must because they contain with fiber and essential nutrients. Moreover, they are very low in calories. You can eat it whenever you are hungry without having to worry on counting calories.

How to cut down excess fat in the body?

The answer is using Low Fat Diet.!

Nowadays it has become a fantacy to say I have lost 20 pounds or 30 pounds. Do you think that this makes sense? If one says I lost 20 pounds, then we have to raise a question as what have you lost. One should lose the unwanted or excess fat and not energy, bone weight and muscleweight.

Proper diet and some physical activity are the lights of "Good Shape".

Few Low Fat diets that help to cut down excess fat in our body.

Olive Oil
Start using Olive oil for cooking, because we need Omega-9 which is rich in olive oil. It has antioxidants which is important for healthy body. So avoid using butter, ghee or cheese and start using olive oil instead.

Nuts
Take almonds and nuts instead of fried chips or potatoes for snacks. Almonds and nuts have Vitamin E which is essential for healthy body. It helps in anti-aging also.

Food Quantity
Always have small portions of food. If it is not enough, try to take food five or six-times in small quanties. This will help to low down the calories and burn the calories.

Red Wine
Red Wine is a good source of anti-oxidant and increases good cholesterol level. It can be taken moderately for good health.

Whole Grains
Wheat, Cereals, Pasta and Oats are good sources of whole grain. Include this in your diet daily. Whole grain is full of fibre which will help to keep the sugar level moderate.

Fish
Fish is a good source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. Omega 3 fatty acids helps to increase good cholesterol level and reduces the risk of heart diseases.

Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are abundant sources of Vitamins and Nutrients. Fruits and Vegetables fights against Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Diseases and immune disorders.

Dairy Products
Dairy products contains essential vitamins which is needed for a healthy body. Include in your diet low fat dairy products like Milk and Yogurt.

Now we are nearing the path of good health but not yet completed.

Physical Activity
Diet is not completed without physical activity. There is a close relationship between physical activity and food.

The following is Low Fat Diet Mantra !

"If the intake of calories in food is greater than calories used then we will gain weight."

"If the intake of calories in food is lesser than calories used then we will lose weight."

"If calories in food equals the calories used then our weight is under control."

Way to Good Shape

Take the above low fat diet foods plus a daily practice of doing some simple exercise like walking or jogging for 15 minutes. This should lead your way to Good Shape.

Product Review - Idiot Proof Diet Package

Idiot proof dieting provides rules for dieting and helps in accelerated fat loss. In this system everything is computed for you. There is no need for calorie counting or label reading. That's why they call it as idiot proof!

How the system works?
This system is based on two things. One is using food as a diet and other is working with your eating patterns.

Overweight
According to idiot proof dieting the primary reason anyone is overweight is because of eating the wrong foods. Eating the wrong types of calories per meal and eating meals in the wrong patterns each day. The system works on your food eating and your food eating patterns that can make you slim.

Calorie Shifting
One of the techniques used in this system is Calorie Shifting. With calorie shifting they suggest that you will be taking different types of calories each day, which would force fat loss to happen.

Fat level differs from person to person. Women need four times of fat in excess than men. As long as we keep the fat level in average we are on the safer side. Nowadays there are various ways to burn fat from our body. The predominant way to burn fat is to “Cut Down Calories Through Diet”.

Most of us will think that skipping breakfast or lunch will help to lose fat. But for proper functioning of our metabolism we should have our diet in time with vitamins and nutrients. This will make us healthy and will help to burn fat.

Fat

Fat is necessary for our body metabolism (proper functioning of our immune system and body hormones).

Body fat is of two types

1) Essential Fat
2) Storage Fat

If our body exceeds the average fat level then it risks our health. However, lower fat levels will also impair the health. Usually some amount of fat will be stored in our body that can be used in the time of need.

Essential Fat

Essential Fat is needed by our body’s hormone for proper functioning of our immune system. Essential fat will be stored in the heart, liver, lungs, bone marrow, kidney and other organs of the body. Essential fat is important for proper functioning of nevous system also.

Vitamin C will help to burn fat. Take Citrus fruits, lemon, oranges and Grapefruit.

Low Fat Diet - Salads

While making salads use yogurt, lemon juice, tomato juice, spices, mint or coriander for dressing. Do not use Salad cream, which is high in fat. You can make salads using green leaves, lemon juice, tomato, vinegar, pepper, some mustard seeds, nuts such as almonds or walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dates and so on. This will contain only good fat needed for our body.

Low Fat Diet - Soup

You can take any kind of vegetable soup, which will supply the essential fat to our body. Do not boil the vegetables for longer time; this will destroy the nutrients in the food.

Use only skimmed milk.
