Nutrition is the basis for everything related with weight
loss. Eat three meals every day, forget about the sausages and French fries,
limit the amount of sugar you use every day and start eating a lot of
vegetables, poultry and fruits. Also drink at least 2 litters of water every
day. And, you are allowed to snack in between – see more about snacking.
Stay away from junk or fast foods. If you eat a lot of junk
and processed food, then you can forget about weight loss altogether. These
foods are very high in calories and will always cause weight gain. Keep a good stock
of fresh fruit and vegetables. Cooking
your own meals will really help you to stick to healthy foods. Limit your
saturated fat and sugar intake to an absolute minimum.
Eat more frequently and in smaller portions: Eating large
meals infrequently will not serve you well when it comes to weight loss. If you
were to eat, let’s say 5 or 6 small meals each day, then your weight loss will
proceed more efficiently. Each time you eat, your metabolism rises and this
helps your body with fat burning. It is total allowed to snack in between but
remember to snack the right way!
Cut back on your calories but don’t deprive yourself. In the
long run, if you want to lose weight, your intake of calories must be less than
the amount of calories you burn. Start out slow and decrease your calories by a
small amount every day.
The importance of exercising cannot be overemphasised. Weight loss without exercise is extremely
difficult. Working out builds your muscle mass and speeds up your metabolism.
When your muscle mass and metabolism are increasing, you will burn off much
more fat. Try to increase your physical activity all throughout the day.
The key to weight loss is a change in attitude and once
accepting it, dietary changes will not be a problem.
