Keep reading, as all of these ways to lose weight can be applied starting today.
1. Stop dieting
Do you know why deciding you have to go on a diet and setting a start date is a problem?
You begin to see your diet as a challenging punishment. Then, all you’re able to think about is when it’ll be over.
Instead, it’s a better idea to take some time and learn about healthy eating habits and their effects on your body. This will help you understand what each food choice does and it will be easier to avoid the ones that harm you.
In addition, it’s also important that you learn to identify the portions that are right for you.
People tend to think that being on a diet requires you to only eat vegetables and salads. However, a well thought-out and personally tailored diet will incorporate all the food groups and give you an occasional guilty pleasure.
If you have trouble understanding how food works or you’re not clear about what’s right for you, talk to a nutritionist. He or she will explain everything you need.
2. Exercise your whole body
When you think about losing weight, you tend to worry about areas with visible problems. That’s why it’s common to see people doing targeted exercises for specific areas. If this is you, it’s time to change your routine.
There are areas of the body that tend to build up more fat. However, it’s important to strengthen all your muscle groups equally. This will ensure that:
- The heart rate remains accelerated,
- Your heart health improves,
- Your cardio strength will increase.
If you don’t have the time to exercise multiple hours a day, try to dedicate every other day to different types of exercises of varying intensity.
3. Keep an honest record of what you eat
If you don’t know what you’re doing wrong or are unaware of what you’re eating, it’s hard to know if you’re sabotaging your own efforts to lose weight.
The best way to find out is to keep an accurate record of what you eat.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a tiny bite of something. If you put it in your mouth, write it down. Do this for at least four weeks and then find out…
- Which foods do you eat most often?
- …less often?
- Which foods do you eat the most of every day?
- What are your moods throughout the day?
- When do you crave unhealthy foods?
This information will help you create a food and exercise plan to help you fight or reinforce certain habits you have, as needed.
If, for example, you find that you’re not losing weight because you get a craving for sweets during the afternoons or feel depressed, maybe you could try getting a little exercise at that time instead. Then have a smoothie that will give you the sweet taste you crave.
4. Get the right amount of sleep
Everyone knows you should sleep between six and eight hours a day. However, most of us don’t actually do this in practice. Even if you have a really busy schedule or just prefer to sleep less, you should be aware that getting adequate rest is vital for weight loss.
When you don’t sleep, the appetite hormone leptin is generated. That’s why it’s common to see people who stay up late at night finding themselves eating more than necessary.
From now on, take your sleep schedule seriously and respect it. If you can’t make eight hours, try to get at least six without interruption.
