22 Jan 10 No Nonsense Long Term Weight Loss

If you’re trying to lose weight, exercise is really only about half the battle. Exercise alone isn’t going to burn enough calories to really make you lose weight quickly. If you really want to lose weight you have to combine exercise with a more healthy lifestyle. The phrase “you are what you eat” is more true than you imagine.

If you’ve started an exercise routine recently, remember that more exercise is going to increase your appetite. You have to counteract this by being strong, and not in taking more calories than your diet allows. One mistake that many weight loss seekers fall into is allowing themselves to eat more calories after a workout, because of the appetite they’ve worked up. That’s a mistake, as exercise on the whole doesn’t burn very many calories unless you’ve done a ridiculous amount. Eating more calories after a workout is going to erase your workout, and keep the pounds piling on.

Remember to be diligent about working out. You have to keep working out to make a big difference. You can’t try for a few days and then take a week off. In order to lose weight and really make a difference, you need to be working out 3-4 times a week, featuring fairly intense sessions. That’s the only way to force your body to change, and whip yourself into shape.

Eating healthy is probably the biggest hurdle, and most important practice of all. Only by eating healthy can you ensure that all the other steps you’ve taken will be effective. You need to eat nutritious, low calorie meals, cutting your overall normal calorie intake. That way you’re losing weight from cutting calories, and also from exercise. That double threat is the fastest way to lose weight, and keep the weight off. You don’t need crazy diets, just diligence to perform the most tried and true method.

26 Aug 09 Lose Weight Without Drastic Changes

Losing weight of course is a difficult task, as if it wasn’t everyone would be fit and lingering around their target weights. In reality making weight loss happen can be a long and arduous process. Especially when faced with the daunting task of sticking to a diet. Most of the time when you hear the word diet, I just sound incredibly undesirable. Let’s face it, counting calories and only eating the healthy stuff just isn’t that much fun. But there are plenty of tactics you can employ to make your road a little bit easier.

Such as simply eating more slowly than you normally would. Scientists say that it takes your stomach about 20 minutes after you’ve started eating, before your body really knows whether you’re full or not. So by eating more slowly, and trying to ensure that every meal takes up at least 20 minutes, you’ll likely eat less, and feel more full by the end of your meal.

Be smart about checking packages. Calorie counting is annoying, but a necessary evil in the lives of any person that wants to ensure they feel great, and look great. In that calorie counting one thing you’ll have to get better at is noticing the fine print. Many packages post a lower calorie count per serving to make a food seem less fattening than it actually is, so make sure you pay attention to just how large the serving is, before you think about purchasing.

Finally, try switching your meals from three a day to five smaller meals. Eating more often in the day not only keeps your blood sugar up, so that you can ensure you don’t suffer from too many cravings. But eating more often speeds up your metabolism, which in turn speeds up your weight loss. By switching from three meals to five meals of about 300 calories each, spread out evenly across the day, you’ll keep yourself feeling better, and losing weight.

08 Aug 09 10 Weight-loss Tips from Your Kitchen – V

I hope you have applied the weight-loss tips given so far in the series. This is the last post of weight-loss tips from the kitchen series. In this article, as usual, I will share 10 fun-to-do weight-loss tips straight from your kitchen. Let us begin our weight-loss journey.

Hey do not take your car (or motorbike) out now, go ahead take a walk. It’s just 15-minute walk from here. Try avoiding taking your car or bike out for short distances.
Going for grocery shopping? Great! But have you had your food? Have some snacks before going out to shop for grocery. This way you will be less tempted to buy fattening foods.
Eating out? Avoid main course. Either choose something from appetizer menu or share plate with your companion.
You can also get half of the food packed in a take-away box right after ordering the meal.
You start your day with a cup of black coffee and the day’s newspaper, isn’t it? Change your schedule. Start your day with working out or by taking a brisk walk. A healthy morning will give you a healthy metabolism.
When was the last time you took your kid outdoor? Take him out today, and play with him. For how long? As much as you can. This will not only keep your kid happy, it will also keep you healthy.
Do not eat anything unplanned. Plan your week in advance. You can also consider packing your next day’s lunch in the evening itself. This way, you will not pack too much fatty food, which you usually end up doing in the morning rush.
Keep irresistible foods out of home. Chances are quite fair that those foods are fatty.
Alcohol has many serious consequences, and the least serious of them is obesity. Yes, it adds up to your weight. Avoid it.
Respect yourself, and take time out for doing exercises. Regardless of what you think about lack of time, you always had and will always have enough time to take out for exercises.

With this, we have concluded out Weight-loss tips from kitchen series. And this series must have shown you losing weight is not about doing those big, ugly things like dieting, but it is about changing the life style. I hope you are up for it, and will continue doing even after this point, when the series is coming to an end.
