Weight Loss Tips
I'm surprised by the number of women who ask for a weight loss tip that relate directly to their diet, and healthy eating habits, rather than tips on weightloss and exercise.
Effective weight loss is a combination of good healthy eating diet habits and regular fat burning exercises.
Cutting back on the number of calories you consume, while at the same time burning fat through exercise, leads to effective weight loss. With this in mind, here are a combination of weight-loss diet and fat loss tips to assist you.
Weight loss Tip 1: Know yourself Women who are happy don't comfort eat. If you find yourself eating to make yourself feel better, try to get to the bottom of what is making you do this.
More often than not, you'll find that such a diet habit is masking an underlying issue you are not dealing with. There is no magical formula to finding out what is making you unhappy - simply develop a dialogue with yourself - ask yourself the 'What?' question and then Listen. Use your journal to record your answers and to probe even deeper still.
You'll find the guide on how to journal, very useful for this purpose. If you really take the time, you'll get to the answer. Only then will you truly be able to tackle the issue and resolve it.
You might want to learn how to listen to your body here, to help you with this.
Weight loss Tip 4: Keep it real Learn to not feed into the quick fix promises of quick weight loss with wonder diets and weightloss pills. There really is no wonder cure.
The best weight loss tip I can give you is this, if you want to lose weight and keep it off without resorting to various punishing fad diets, change your eating habits and incorporate more movement into your life.
Look around you, there are many women who are not dieting yet they look fit and healthy - why? Because they've long adopted good eating and weightloss exercise habits into their lives.
Weight loss Tip 5: Learn to feed your motivation Just as you feed your body healthily, learn to feed your motivation in a similar way. It's easy to stay motivated when things are going well. When they're not, your weightloss goal is likely to fall by the wayside unless you counteract this by making an assessment of your strengths, weaknesses, any challenges or barriers which will either aid you or make you vulnerable. This you must do prior to setting your weightloss goal. Weight loss Tip 6: Be realistic: Be realistic about what you want to achieve. I know you are excited to the point where you want to see immediate weightloss results but please take things slow, especially if you have not previously exercised. Getting fit takes time and commitment - get it right and in time you will achieve your weight loss goal. Weight Loss Tip 7: Go With Your Passion: Remember to work with your strengths. If you have a particular liking for something, start thinking about ways you can develop that liking or passion into an weightloss exercise. Its like killing two birds with one stone - your focus is on losing weight, while at the same time you're doing something you really enjoy. Weight Loss Tip 8: Positive Visualisation: Visualise your achieving your weightloss goal - your success. There is no better way to feed your motivation and keep you on track than daily visualisation of your weightloss exercise goal. Set yourself an exercise weightloss goal, you'll achieve in approx 6 - eight weeks. Break your goal down into smaller achievable steps (mini goals). Achievement of all these smaller mini goals will lead to realising your larger goal. That way, you will see early results. You can then continue to build onto your success with additional small goals.
Keep your goal small to start with - it might just be to walk every where during the time you have set. You will be amazed by the results of just walking exercise. Once you have seen the success from this activity - Your motivation will be such that you will want to keep building on your success Weight Loss Tip 10: Learn to breath right: Remember your breathing during your weightloss exercise. Breathing correctly will oxygenate your system more appropriately, helping you with your endurance.
Weight loss Tip 11: Stretching Exercises: stretching before and after your exercise is a very important part of your weightloss exercise and should be incorporated into your action plan. Depending on your choice of exercise, take 10 -15 minutes to gently stretch out your leg and thigh muscles, your arms, back, shoulders etc. Do the same to warm down after your exercise. You will find numerous books are available on the subject.
Weight loss Tip 12: Drinking and Eating After Exercise:
Your body needs fluids to replace water loss during and after your exercise. If you become thirsty during a workout, be sure to drink some water immediately. Better still, carry a small water bottle with you from which you can take regular sips. Muscles don't function well if they are dehydrated. Don't drink coffee tea or alcohol prior to exercising, as they will also dehydrate your body.
If you feel hungry after your weightloss exercise, try eating some fruit instead of anything more heavy. Your body is still breaking down fat so allow it to do so without packing in more unnecessary calories at this time. Weight loss Tip 13: Swimming:
Swimming is an excellent all round weight-loss exercise. It is relaxing, it regulates your breathing, stimulates circulation and puts no stress on your joints. Since swimming is not however a weight bearing exercise, you might want to do some additional bone strengthening exercises which help prevent conditions such as osteoporosis. Swimming is nevertheless an excellent exercise which would ideally suit everyone. Pay attention to other aspects of your fitness. A relaxed mind leads to a relaxed body. Excellent ways to unwind and relax your mind include: meditation, listening to soothing music and visualising yourself being in perfect harmony. Wonderful! Weight loss Tip 15: Listen to your body:
If you feel any discomfort or pain, during your weight-loss exercise, stop. This is your body's way of telling you, you are pushing it too far. 'When the going gets tough', you might not necessarily be the 'tough, get going unless you ensure an adequate support network to encourage and help you stay motivated. Enlist the assistance of your friends, family, colleagues or even other people with a similar goal to your own.
Weight loss Tip 17: Caution! Health Womens Healthy Living Goals advise you to consult your doctor prior to undertaking any weightloss exercise program or diet and especially if are experiencing any health conditions or you are on any kind of medication.
