Use a pedometer for tracking steps when losing weight. Try walking around 10,000 steps each day. If you keep track of how many steps you are taking, you can do more by challenging yourself. With every step, you are moving forward with your fitness goals and getting closer to your target weight.
Incorporate dips and sauces onto your snacks if you are eating fruits and vegetables. Dip bananas in apple sauce, or garnish celery with low-fat yogurt.
Almost everyone loves french fries! They are the downfall of many a potential weight loser. Baked fries, however, can be a way of still enjoying french fries while sticking to your diet. Slice a small potato into fries, toss with a small amount of olive oil. Then season the slices with rosemary, salt and pepper and bake for thirty minutes in an oven set at 400 degrees. Gently lift them so they don’t stick, flip them over and then continue baking for about 10 more minutes. Dipped in catsup, they are quite tasty and contain far fewer fat calories. You won’t even miss the deep fried effect. You can thank Laurel’s Kitchen cook book for these yummy treats.
Your weight loss goals should be realistic. Just like anything else, if the goal is not realistic, you probably won’t achieve it. For instance, if you want to lose 20 pounds, setting yourself a time limit of one month is a recipe for disaster. Try to set a new, realistic goal each week, instead. Stop focusing on the big picture. Focus on weekly weight loss instead of the big picture.
Make sure to pack healthy snacks if you work all day. This goes double if you plan to work overtime. You don’t want to come home and binge because you haven’t eaten enough during the day. Opt for healthy snacks over junk food to stay on track with your weight loss regimen.
Find out the ideal weight for you. Use online calculators in entering your body type, height, and other different factors that could help you determine what your ideal body weight would be. Your ideal weight is based on several factors including height and body type. This information can assist you in setting healthy and reasonable goals.
Weight loss requires you to make many sacrifices, but taste isn’t one of them. Previously, food low in calories and fat was bland and tasteless. Nowadays, you can eat foods made with low calorie sweeteners and preservatives that taste delicious. Try this if you still want to enjoy what you eat and lose weight.
Weight loss is not effective unless you include exercise in the mix. You can always find time for exercise, no matter how jam packed your schedule is. Try doing a few push ups or sit ups while you are making dinner, for instance.
These tips will have hopefully helped you feel better about shedding that weight. Remember, this information is useless if you’re not applying it.
