To achieve your weight loss goal:-
Know your target weight and determine how much you need to lose.
Break your goals down to weekly weight loss amounts and work one
pound at a time towards it, it may seem pale in comparison to those
Biggest Loser contestants but yours is realistic and achievable in the
time that you can devote. Don’t think you’re going to lose 100 pounds
in one month because it will mostly be water and precious muscle and
to shift that kind of mass in such a short time frame will no doubt
damage your body in the process.
Slow wins the race, that’s how the weight came on, don’t think you
can lose 10 years worth of weight in one month. I promise it will come
off quicker than it went on. Stick with it.
Prioritize your weight loss. Sacrifice something you can do without
such as watching television or playing video games. It’s important
that you make that time for yourself if you want to see results.
Keep track of your calories and how much you’re eating. Buy yourself
a little notebook and jot down all of the things you eat in a day. Look
at the food packaging and determine how many calories you
consumed. Also watch out for how much sugar and sodium you are
taking into your body. Unless they are unprocessed and raw, most
cereals will have high hidden sugar content in the form of fructose
which is fruit sugar to give cereal its sweet taste.
You must be aware of this because this is where hidden calories are
coming from. Fructose although a fruit sugar can still be stored as fat
if not burned off as energy. Be mindful and aware of what you are
eating. And find the things you can do without in your current diet
such as food high in fat and sugars. Look for added sugars and added
juices on your food packaging.
