Keys For Safe Weight Loss Are Healthy Eating And Exercise

Every day we come across many articles and ads claiming to help you lose weight instantly or gradually. We long to see ourselves in the best shape and for that many of us trust all the products and the claims that come with them. This article is not going to help your lose weight fast, but it will surely help you to set goals and aim at important things which will help you lose weight sensibly and healthily. It is extremely important to maintain your health while you are on the track of losing weight. Following factors can help you choose what is right for you, and I hope that they will benefit you in every possible way.

1)  Watch Yourself Right Now: Obesity does not look at the age or the gender and can hit anyone, anytime. The perfect weight depends on your height and your gender and therefore BMI can help you calculate whether you are overweight or not. I realized that I need to drop some pounds when I just touched the obesity category. I know that I should have started to get worried about it from before, but mostly I got lazy or thought that I don’t have enough time for it. After much consideration, I finally joined a nearby gym, and I was not surprised to find the many overweight ladies over there. If they would have started watching themselves a couple of years earlier, then probably they would have not reached this level today. Even if you are not overweight, it is a wise idea to keep a record of your weight on weekly basis so that you can judge your weight gaining or losing capabilities.

2)  A Big NO To Fad Diets and Weight Losing Pills: No matter how charming the results may appear or how high the claims are, it is never a good idea to take pills to reduce your weight as they may provide instant results but you never know what impact can they leave on you internally. Also, the faster you drop those pounds, the faster you can gain them back. Even fad diets seem to be appealing in losing weight fast, but they can help you gain fast too. It is practically impossible to stay on fad diets and dieting pills all your life, and once you leave them, you are likely to gain twice the weight.

3)  The Slower, The Better….. When you plan on losing weight, remember, the slower, the better. It surely sounds terrible and you cannot compel yourself to this idea, but that’s the best way to lose weight sensibly. Set goals for yourselves that are easy and fun to accomplish.

4)  A Big YES To Exercise and Healthy Eating: The two best and safest things to lose weight are exercise and healthy eating. Exercise is extremely important for everyone, regardless of their weight, especially when we are living in an era when most of our tasks are done without us moving much. Exercise is helpful to make our bodies active and also is useful for our organs to function properly. Healthy foods comprise of many things like fruits, vegetables and so forth. So, don’t forget to eat sensibly along with exercising.

5)  You Should Know What You Are Eating: I will not ask you to abandon the cookies, pizza, burgers and sodas as it is not possible for many of us to do but I will ask you to watch what you are eating. Don’t compel yourself to do something which will then make you annoyed and disturbed. We all crave for different things, knowing that they are not going to help you in losing weight, so the best idea is to cut the quantity and the number of intakes. For example, if you love chocolate, then limit yourself to just 1 serving per week and the best approach is to buy the miniatures instead of big bars. Likewise you can set the number of servings for different things, making sure that you include good amount of vegetables and fruits as well.

6)  Weight Losing Capabilities Vary From Person To Person: You and your friend joined the gym at the same time and follow the same healthy diet plan. The result? Everyone loses weight at different speeds, so don’t get frustrated thinking why is it taking so much time for you to lose compared to your friend. Our bodies act differently to different things and therefore depending on your body type internally, the results will vary.

7)  Walk To Drop Pounds and Dance Those Moves Out: Two of the easiest ways to lose weight and exercise are walking and dancing. Brisk walking for at least one hour everyday with your friend or anyone can show noticeable results. It is a good idea to walk outside as this way you will also get fresh air. Dancing is also a fun way of losing weight. Everybody can dance, whether superbly or poorly. Just put on your favorite fast tracks and dance, dance, and dance…

8)  Count What You Eat: Though we cannot calculate the exact calories but it is a wise idea to keep a rough track of your calories intake every day, so that you know what you are eating and can even show your trainer to help you plan a healthy diet chart and to tell you what to include or exclude from your daily foods.

9)  Smile At Your Little Achievements: After all, when you will to lose weight, you will feel happy internally and never lose hope in yourself. Stay determined and appreciate yourself for the little achievements you make.

I hope that everyone will choose the better and safe way of losing weight instead of the fast and harmful one.
