Many people are excited when first starting out on a weight loss routine. However, many become discouraged when they don’t see results as soon as they had expected. What makes it possible for some to lose weight and to keep it off. It is easy to believe there is a secret formula at work. What is it?
What you want to do in the beginning is decide your specific weight loss target. Is it your desire to wear clothes in a specific size? Is there a specific weight you are trying to obtain? Is it important to you to feel more fit and healthy?
You should make an effort to keep track of your weight loss progress every week. Whether you eat something big or small, be sure to document it. Keeping track of everything you eat helps you assume full responsibility for your caloric intake. Seeing the food choices that you have made also helps you make better choices in the future.
When making decisions about what to eat, do not do it when you are starving. Do not let this happen to you. Plan your foods, pack them and have them at your side at all times. Instead of dining out, pack a lunch from home. This will give you more control over what you consume and will have the added benefit of saving you money.
Being able to balance healthy eating and exercise is the key to permanent weight loss. Exercising requires restructuring of your schedule; a couple of hours three days a week should be suitable for significant weight loss. If this has been where you have failed in the past, plan instead to incorporate exercise into things you already enjoy. Ask your friends to walk with you. Consider taking a hike if you love being outside. If you like to dance then go out dancing, but try a new form of dance such as salsa or samba classes.
Make sure your home, work-space, and any other area you frequent is free from unhealthy snack items. It may seem drastic, but if it isn’t available, then you can’t eat it. Stock your home or office fridge with many different healthy items. Store a bunch of healthy snacks around, such as trail mix, nuts, fruits and vegetables, for those times when you must eat something quickly.
You will be able to stick to your weight loss goals when you have support. Request assistance from your friends to keep you motivated and help you in reaching your goal. If you feel like giving up, your friends will be there to offer support. Your friends can help you stay motivated when you do not feel like doing your routine. Wouldn’t that be what you would do in their shoes?
