Try to become friends with those who are physically fit to increase your level of motivation. They can serve as great role models. They can also give you great tips that they use to keep the weight off.
Pound large packages of meat before opening them. This helps to make a smaller portion, and therefore, less calories. Tenderizing the meat in this way also helps it become more juicy and flavorful. This means you won’t need to smother the meat with fattening sauces.
Walking is a great way to take off extra weight. It keeps your blood flowing and your appetite smaller. Walking for an hour will burn off about 500 calories.
Never drink soda if you can avoid it. Not only will soda increase your sweet cravings, it is extremely high in calories and carbohydrates from sugar. Go with a bottled water instead so that you don’t wind up taking in extra calories.
A good tip when losing weight is to stop wearing baggy clothing. If you are overweight, you may want to distract yourself and others from the weight by wearing baggy or loose clothing. Find clothes that make you feel good about yourself and in which you can be active.
Always eat a high protein breakfast if you are trying to lose weight. Protein keeps you feeling full longer which reduces the chance of snacking before lunch.
When possible, wear athletic clothes instead of tight garments. It is easier to feel like walking when walking is easy to do. If you’re able to dress casually for work, take advantage of that.
Yogurt is a great aid in weight loss. Eat plain or low fat yogurts. Mix plain yogurt with cucumber, pepper and salt and have this as a salad. Adding fruit to yogurt that’s plain will help cut back on sugar and calories. Yogurt is delicious and high in calcium. It’s also great for your bones.
Try to avoid skipping meals. Try to eat roughly three daily meals. Healthy snacks are still okay, but ensure that you don’t overeat on these and no longer eat your main meal. This ensures your body remains in a cycle.
Let others know when you are working on weight loss. One way to do this is by establishing an online blog to give updates on your efforts and progress. This will give you even more motivation to stick with your diet, lest you let your friends and family down.
Leftovers are great for weight loss. When you’re making dinner, cook extra for the following day’s lunch. You can create many different meals by making sandwiches with your leftovers. Another way to cut calories is to use a pureed avocado in place of mayonnaise in your chicken salad. This will ensure you have an easy, healthy lunch without any extra work.
You are not alone in your weight loss journey. Ask friends and family to be a weight loss buddy to make the journey easier. If you don’t know anyone who will do that, look online for a local group with people who are looking for a buddy to partner with. You could also look for a fitness partner to whom you could be mutually accountable.
