LOSE WEIGHT

LOSE WEIGHT

To lose weight can be a life changing event. I recommend that before starting a weight loss program, they have a physical to see if there are some important health matters that you need to know about before starting your plan to lose weight. A Doctors suggestions and warnings are good to listen to before starting. So if all is well, here are some things to think about as you proceed.

Set a long term goal and several short term goals. This would be how much you wish to lose and in what time frame. Be realistic. Don’t set goals that you know you can’t reach. You need to have success with your program. Losing too fast is not a good idea. ½ to a maximum of 2 pounds per week is safe and not considered too fast.

Some times one can get to a certain weight and just stand still. This is not a time to give up or to get discouraged. It took quite a while to put the weight on and it will take time to take it off. You can do damage to your health if you lose to fast, so make it slow and steady.

Some people like to weigh each morning, and others like to weigh once a week. This all depends on your preference. It can be used as a guide to keep you in touch with what you are doing to lose weight.

It is helpful to cut down on your portions of helpings. Keeping in mind you do not have to be stuffed to stop eating. Try stopping when you are first satisfied rather than a normal full feeling. This may take time to cultivate. Starting the day with a good breakfast with lean protein and some carbohydrates is thought to be beneficial. This will curb cravings during the day.

I would encourage you to read labels when you are shopping. Sugar and corn syrup are in everything it seems. Eliminate them and you will lose weight. Sugar substitutes are used extensively and I believe they are very bad for you too, but not everyone agrees. I was told Stevia is the only safe sugar substitute. This should be something for you to check out.

Eating healthy snacks is thought to be helpful, keeping you from getting too hungry. These are foods with few calories that still give you a full feeling. Carrots, celery, and fruits are good snacks. Eating before bed may not put weight on, but I was told it does. I do think it takes away from good sleep.

Lastly, I would suggest an exercise program. What ever kind you chose will be beneficial on your lose weight program. Strength training and stretching are ways to help tighten skin and build muscles. Swimming and water aerobics are excellent and walking will all be excellent for you to add to your program.
