No Brainer Steps To Weight Loss
12:07 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
1. Eat clean. It has been said that successful weight loss is 80% diet and I have to agree. You can get some good results from adding workouts to your daily routine, but watching what you consume is going to be a huge factor. Focus on fruits, veggies, lean protein, whole grains, beans and nuts. The closer something is to its natural form, the better it is going to be for you!
2. Exercise. As mentioned above, diet plays a big role in weight loss. Exercise comes in at #2. In addition to burning calories (and we all know that burning more calories than we consume is what equals weight loss), exercise boosts energy levels and helps you get more out of the hours in your day.
3. Be consistent! Consistency in every aspect of your program is vitally important. Make healthy eating and exercise part of your life, every day! The results will come with patience and consistency.
4. Have long term goals, not just the upcoming event. Wanting to lose weight for a specific event is fine if that is what jump starts you to get with the program. But, you want to think about long term. Do you want to be in the same boat again when the next “event” rolls around? Wouldn’t it be better to take a healthy approach to weight loss, keep it off and be ready whenever that next big reunion happens?
5. Have a maintenance plan. Planning for maintenance is key. You need to know what you will do once you reach your goal weight to maintain it. If you go right back to your old habits, you will end up right where you are now. Write down what you plan to do from an overall eating and exercise standpoint so once you reach your goal, you know what you need to do in order to stay there.
Having problems doing all of the above? Hire a personal trainer to keep you motivated, on track, doing the right thing and assisting with accountability
