Losing weight is never easy is it.I hope I can make it just a bit easier for you with some of my “No Excuse Tips”. They are not difficult and when you start to implement them.
Whilst excess weight is a serious issue the methods we go about bring it under control don’t always have to be that serious. You will find that mixing in some fun to your weight loss program will make it somewhat more enjoyable. If you make anything more enjoyable it becomes less of a task.
I am absolutely sure my eight no excuse tips will support your desires to lose weight. However, you know as well as I do you will have to work at having fun when it come to weight loss.
1. Smaller Portions
One of the easiest ways to start with is to reduce the size of your meals. If you need to, simply reduce the size of the plate.
Human nature tells us we should always finish what’s on our plate. This can sometimes mean we are eating more than our body really needs. The only way around this, is if the meal is a fat reduced or fat free meal.
2. Drink more water
If you take on the habit of drinking around 8 glasses of water per day it will reduce your hunger symptoms and keep your hydration levels well up. Sometimes the body plays tricks on us and can mistake thirst for the need to eat and as a result our consumption of excess levels of food will add to our problems. Try drinking a full glass of water before each meal, adding a bit to your stomach and ensuring you don’t overeat. Drinking the sugar free drinks like Diet Coke and Pepsi Max when you are feeling hungry is a good idea as well. They will tend to bloat you and reduce your hunger pangs.
3. Clear Out Bad Stuff
If you have foods in the cupboard that are not good for you then clear them out. Temptation is always harder if you only have to open the cupboard door and reach inside for those unhealthy foods in a moment of weakness. Next time you’re out shopping, make sure you write out a list before you go and stick to it. Impulse buying especially for those nasty calorie filled goodies is not good. There are plenty of substitute treats can indulge in and you should in fact seek these out and eat them….in moderation because rewarding yourself in the correct manner is motivational.
4. Weight Loss Pills Are Not The Bad Guys
Don’t eliminate the thought of trying weight loss pills to enhance your program. They are far from the bad boy’s some traditional weight watchers talk about. It’s your body and you could do with all the support you can muster. There is a good selection of very effective weight loss pills on the market these days and they can certainly be used to support your goals. This review is on one of the more popular fat burning pills called Decatrim.
5. Park The Car
If you have to drive to work, why not park further away and take a brief walk. This is only one example of incidental exercise you can add to your program. When you add this type of mini exercise to your day you will be surprised how much it adds up and contributes to your overall fitness levels.
6. Stay Positive
Maintaining a positive attitude will strengthen your resolve. Bad days will come and go but the good days will become more frequent. It is very usual for you to experience a faster loss of weight at the beginning of your program but then it will slow down. It is very, very normal and you should expect it. Don’t over react when this happens. Stay true to your program and don’t think for one minute it is not working. If you do happen to gain a little weight now and then it is not unusual for you to become a little depressed. Warning….don’t let this restart old and bad eating habits. You will then become even more depressed and it may very well threaten your long terms weight loss goals.
7. Walk it Off
The very best time to go walking is in the morning and in my opinion it is also the nicest time of the day. Studies have confirmed again and again, that the body responds to exercise best before 9am in the morning. On top of that it is a great time of the day to be walking around your local neighbourhood taking in the ambience of the morning and the freshness of the new day. Make the effort to get up and get going early. You won’t regret it.
If I had to pick one thing to try that you may not have done in the past it would be to throw in one of the better fat burning weight loss pills. You will be pleasantly surprised how well they compliment weight loss programs if you pick the right one.
Jump on board my mini “No Excuse” tips and take yourself to the next level. Remember….it took time for you to gain weight and it will take you time to lose it s be patient and do your best. Your efforts will be rewarded.
