5 "Must NOTs" of Weight Loss
There are a numberof methods, techniques, skills
, and tricks that can insure weight loss. Through trial and error I've discovered a few "must DOs" and "must NOTs" essential to a successful and somewhat easier weight loss journey.
The following "must NOTs" can help you lose the first of many pounds or help you shed those last couple of inches. Whatever your aim, these tips can assist anyone.
1) Eat After The Sun Goes Down
Typically the food you eat right before bed, known as the midnight snack, is what causes the weight gain you see on the scale. But if you must have the so called "midnight snack", once again keep it healthy and light with fruits and vegetables.
Try to consistently eat dinner around 6:30 or 7p.m., which is a time that is just early enough for your body to digest your food before you go to sleep but late enough to where you don't get hungry again.
2) Live By The Scale
The scale is only one measurement of your weight loss, or rather path to healthiness. Don't stress over the numbers. After you reach a certain point, you will stop losing weight. At that point you have hit your "natural" body weight.
Muscle weighs more than fat. If you know you're being faithful to your diet and workout plan, yet you are beginning to gain weight, celebrate because your body is replacing fat with muscle.
3) The Quick Fix
Avoid fad diets and diet pills. If you can't maintain the diet for the rest of your life, you're wasting time. Reason being, as fast as you lose the weight, you will gain it back.
Diet pills, although alluring at first, are your body's worst enemy. Read the label, most of the side effects are much worse than not being able to fit in your skinny jeans by the end of the month.
4) Starve Yourself
Sometimes the best way to lose weight is to eat. When you starve your body of the essential fats and vitamins that it needs to function, it will be detrimental to your health and future weight loss.
Of course you will shed pounds initially, but as soon as you stop depriving yourself your body will have already gone into starvation mode.
Starvation mode is when your body stores ALL fat for the next time you decide to deprive yourself. This fat reserve is the body's way of insuring your survival.
The average human should eat around 2000 calories per day. There are various calorie counters that can help you attain the specific amount of calories you need for your body.
5) Sweat The Small Stuff
Losing weight is sometimes a tedious and frustrating process. Getting discouraged because of weight fluctuations or hitting a weight loss plateau is normal, but are not reasons to quit. If you set a goal and reach it three days later than you expected, still celebrate because the goal was accomplished.
Don't expect celebrity type weight loss. On almost every magazine cover, there is a story of how some celebrity lost 30 pounds in 3 months. That celebrity has a personal trainer, a personal chef, and countless hours to spend working.
You are your own person, with your own goals, and will lose weight at your own pace. Comparing your diet and lifestyle with others will result in you feeling pressured and unsatisfied with yourself. Ultimately throwing you off track.
