6. Never Eat Less Than 1,200 Calories 1: Once you eat below 1,200 calories for too long, your body will go into starvation mode. This means that your body will begin to slow down your metabolism( you burn less calories), your body begins to store everything you eat( because your body thinks it may not get food later), and your body begins to destroy muscle tissue for energy instead of fat.
7. 3,500 Calories is 1 Pound Lost: Here ' s another reason you need to keep track of calories. When you burn or eat at a calorie deficit, you can lose one pound for every 3,500 calories. Once you figure out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight, simply subtract 500 calories from your daily requirement in order to lose about one pound every week! Any good weight loss diet plan will help you figure out how many calories you need to be taking in.
8. Set a Few Simple Goals Every Morning: A quick way to lose weight is by setting little goals to do every single day. Rather it ' s 10 push ups in the morning, working out for 5 minutes longer, or eating more vegetables... Make simple goals that you can accomplish and add on every single day.
9. Reward System: Decide how you ' re going to reward yourself every week or month when you achieve your small goals. Rather it be eating correctly for a week, losing 2 pounds in a week, or working out 5 days out of the week. Give yourself a little reward once you accomplish a smaller goal that ' s leading to your large goal. For example, a new book, a spa treatment, some new clothes, or anything else you find rewarding that ' s NOT food related.
