Healthy Weight Loss

For anyone wanting or needing to lose some extra pounds, one of the most important factors to keep in mind is to be sure your plan is one that encourages healthy weight loss. It is so easy to follow the latest fad diets because everyone else is doing it or because it is a #1 best seller at the book store. But if it doesn’t promote a healthy plan then don’t put yourself at risk. Our bodies are delicate yet complicated and they can be easily harmed if we do not take care of them.

Sometimes we fail to use our common sense when we do things, and when it comes to diets it seems that many people forget about this altogether. Healthy Weight Loss is basically dependant on a list of “Dos and Don’ts”. The problem is that there are so many people out there offering their opinion on what we should and shouldn’t do to lose weight and many of them who “think” they know, are actually giving you false information. Here is my list of well some researched healthy weight loss tips. I hope you find them helpful

Some of the “don’ts” for healthy weight loss…….

DON’T be fooled by the latest fad diet. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

DON’T let others tell you what’s right for you. You need to lose weight for yourself.

DON’T forget that although calories count, it is no use counting calories and not taking sensible account of the need to eat healthy weight reducing foods.

Don’t reduce you calories too low as your body will think it is in starvation mode and reduce your metabolism.

DON’T go it alone. Get support from others.

DON’T drink your calories – eat them. Solid food provides greater satisfaction and provides the body with what it needs to function optimally.

DON’T set unrealistic goals. You should expect to lose about 1-2 pounds per week. That is realistic.

DON’T get distracted. Losing weight takes time.

Some of the “do’s” for healthy weight loss……

DO choose to eat healthy, wholesome foods from all of the food groups. Get the essential nutrients you need, whilst making appropriate choices for weight loss.

DO eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, to ensure there is plenty of fibre in your diet.

DO monitor your progress. Weighing yourself once a week and taking your measurements. Measurements can often be a better indicator of progress

DO exercise. Anything more than what you’re doing now is a plus, but a personally tailored exercise regime will show results much quicker.

DO eat a protein rich breakfast every day.

DO learn positive coping skills so that you don’t turn to food for comfort.

DO drink at least six 8oz.glasses of water every day.

DO eat enough food to satisfy you. Starvation is not the way forward

DO benefit from the experience of others who have successfully lost weight and maintained their weight loss

If you take the time you can find many healthy weight loss tips. One of the best places is your doctor. Visit one of your local gyms and ask for some tips there, although it may cost you some money. And the Internet is certainly full of tips, but be careful as some of the tips may have no scientific validation. I hope you are successful in your efforts to lose weight.
