Weight Loss is not as hard as it seems. You have to be motivated and you have to understand that you can’t lose incredible amounts of weight in a short period of time. But you can lose a lot if you follow a couple of guidelines and set appropriate goals.
I had my best weight loss results when I tried to lose between 2-4 pounds per week. Give yourself a weekly weight-loss goal. If you lose more, great, if not, don’t be disappointed. Your main goal is to keep losing some weight from week to week. If you accomplish that, be proud and move on. You’ll be surprised how quick one week is over.
A. Eat energy food
Food that gives the body energy is vital when trying to lose weight. Eat many fresh fruits and vegetables. Prepare yourself fresh salads. Reduce the sweet and fatty foods as much as you can. But don’t take them out of your diet completely or you will lose motivation and life quality.
Try to go by the formula 70%-30%. Eat a minimum of 70% fresh food (fruits, vegetables, salads) and a maximum of 30% other food like lean fish and meat. Or whole grain pasta and bread. Eat small portions of fresh nuts, as well. Try to keep a well balanced diet but with the majority on fruits, vegetables and salads. An only-fruit-day per week will work wonders on your scale.
Don’t think: I don’t feel like eating fresh fruits and veggies. Your body does need the nutrients in the fresh food to have energy and to lose weight!
B. Be active
You don’t have to go running hours and hours in the forest, no. Or go swimming. I always hated when people told me to go swim, because it was so healthy. Yes, I know it’s healthy, but I was fat. There was no way I would have felt comfortable showing up in my bathing suit.
Anyways, do try to implement some routine workout into your life. Find something you like. For me, fast walking worked the best. To this day, I’m walking 30 min everyday. Except on Sundays, when I rest. Summing that up to the whole week, it makes a big difference. On good days, I’m walking during my lunch break or I walk to my favorite fruit store across town, as well.
Without being active, your body will have a much harder time to lose the weight. Actually, you will lose weight, but much slower. Also, your chances to keep the weight will decrease rapidly.
C. Make notes
Write down the time you’re active. Write down when and what you eat. Weigh yourself at the same time everyday and then write it down. And then compare the weekly results. It will help to understand how your body works (remember, everybody is different) and how to adjust and control your weight.
