You Can Triple Your Weight Loss With These 10 Habits
Losing weight is a real issue. If
you find that there is a problem with the way you are gaining weight,
you will start finding out techniques that will help you to lose it. But
weight loss is difficult. You can try a lot of diets but there is no
guarantee that they will work. Similarly, only exercises don’t work
either.
Weight loss requires a complete
lifestyle change. How are you going to do it? You have to develop
healthy habits to lose weight. Researchers Rena Wing and James Hill have
recorded certain habits in successful groups and their tips could help
in weight loss on a long-term basis:
1. Stay Positive
While gaining weight might be a
difficult thing to swallow, remember that it’s not something to get
depressed about. Keep a positive mind and know that you will be
successful in your endeavor. Keep yourself motivated.
2. Proper Diet
You must try to keep a proper diet
but the diet should be tailored for YOU. Our bodies are different so
don’t rely on the diet suggested by a friend. Develop your own diet
chart and follow it religiously.
3. Don’t Try To Lose Weight Rapidly
If you are losing weight fast, then
there might be an issue with your body. Your body should lose weight
slowly and it should adapt accordingly.
4. Have a Healthy Breakfast
We start the day with breakfast so
you must have a good and healthy breakfast. If you don’t have much time
to prepare a good breakfast, then just eat wholegrain cereal with
low-fat milk and fruit. It will be great for you and you will have a lot
of energy throughout the day. If you want, you can prepare it before
going to bed on the previous night.
5. Exercise
Only diets won’t do – you have to
exercise. Walk for a few miles if you want and do some cardio. Give 1
hour for exercise and make it intense. It’s not only good for your
weight but your overall body.
6. Measuring Weight
Always measure your weight. There
should be accountability of your weight loss. Keep a chart and track
your weight loss. And always try to measure at a specific time of the
day and keep consistency with your timing. It will do you a load of
good.
7. A Diet Which Has Fewer Calories and Low Fat
Start going for a diet which is low
on calories and on fat. It can be soup or any other kind of food that
does not accumulate in your body. Even if you want to go for your
favorite food, make sure that you are having controlled amounts of it.
8. Be Consistent
Your weight-loss plan should be like
a routine. You have to be consistent. While there might be a few
slip-ups, you must bounce back. Be on time and make sure that you don’t
get out of your routine. At times, you can treat yourself too, and you
can place that time in your routine as well. Maybe a Sunday.
9. Eating Small Meals
If you feel hungry, have small
meals, but do it at proper time intervals. Improper timings can lead to
poor health as your body fails to manipulate blood sugar levels or fat
storage. Hence, try to keep a gap of 3 hours between meals and have it 4
to 5 times each day.
10. Stop Spending Time On Netflix Or TV
It is surprising, but if you cut
down on Netflix by about 10 hours on a weekly basis, you can put that
time into exercise. Also, we tend to binge eat while watching TV and
that is bad for our health.
