Daily Weight Loss Tips

This weight loss tips post should kind of serve as a reminder for my regular readers on three things you should already be doing to sustain your weight loss and it should also serve as a quick road map for new readers on what you can do to rapidly and effectively lose weight.

Right off the bat I don’t care how many meal you’re currently eating you have to increase the numbers of meals you eat per day to 6. That’s right 6.

How is increasing the amount of food you eat going to help you lose weight?

Well it’s not because you’re not going to eat any more then what you’re currently eating right now… all you’re going to do is take the same amount of food you’re eating right now and divide it up into 6 nice little small meals that are going to turn your metabolism into a fat and calorie burning furnace.

A funny thing happens when you feed your body 6 meals per day…

Pardon the analogy but your body is like a squirrel in that when you only feed once per day it stores food for the winter. Only your body doesn’t store nuts in a tree rather it takes the ood you eat and it deposits it as fat throughout your body. You probably know where right?

Anyhow so what you want to do is eat a meal consisting of some long or medium chain carbohydrates and protein every 3-4 hours.

After about a month of doing this you body will no longer store anything you eat as fat because your body will trust that you’re going to feed it every 3-4 hours and that’s when your metabolism goes into overdrive!

Next you want to make sure the meals you’re eating are nutritious and good for your body. Like I said above, look for meals that consist both carbohydrates and protein and some healthy fats is possible. Rice, potatoes and oatmeal are perfect for your carbohydrate portion and chicken, turkey or fish would be ideal for the protein portion.

Last but no least, stick to your new “diet” even when you leave your home.

Now this may take extra planning at first but after a while you’ll get used to it and it’ll become second nature. One of the things you’ll have to do is pack some snacks and food for work if you go to work.

The area where most people just lose their weight loss efforts is when they go out to eat. There’s no need to throw your healthy eating sensibilities out the window when you go out to eat. Look for a dish that has something grilled, broiled or steamed and whatever you do, don’t force yourself to eat the entire portion because American portions are ridiculously large!

There you have it 3 quick weight loss tips that you should have already incorporated into your diet and lifestyle if you’ve been reading this Blog.

Avoid Cravings And Lose Weight

One of the easiest ways you can reduce the amount of calories you consume on a daily basis and lose weight in the process is by cutting out all of the unnecessary snacking you do between meals.

But that’s easier said then done especially when you’re at the office and your stomach starts growling and it’s only 9AM in the morning…

What do you do then?

The best thing you can do today to avoid snacking between meals is prevent the thought from ever crossing your mind.

Huh?

What I mean is the best thing you can do to avoid craving and lose weight is prevent them by eating well-balanced and nutritious meals strategically placed throughout your day.

Now ideally you’re consuming 6 meals a day to stimulate your metabolism but on top of that you want to make sure that you have a meal balanced with good portions of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. You need all three for your body to have sufficient fuel to burn and for it to feel full and satisfied.

Once you know you’re eating good nutritious and balanced meals I would recommend you go ahead and skip the snacks when you get those between-meal cravings and drink a tall glass of water instead.

Avoid cravings and lose weight but before you skip those between-meal snacks, make sure you’re consuming a balanced and nutritious diet.

In the previous 2 posts I talked about cutting out sodas and other sugary drinks from your diet in order to lose some weight and in the other post I talked about drinking more water throughout the day for appetite suppression and other reasons as well. With weight loss there are 2 essential steps that need to be covered in order to successfully lose weight.

First and foremost you have to consume fewer calories. There’s no way around this… you don’t want to starve yourself but you do want to consume fewer calories. Replacing all of the soda and juice and other sugary drinks in your diet with water wll dramatically cut down on the number of calories you consume. Drinking water is the fastest way I know of reducing the number of calories you consume.

Once you reduce the number ofcalories you consume, you now have to focus on burning more calories then your body needs on a dialiy basis so you ca actually start to lose weight. You can accomplsh this by exercising… it doesn’t have to be anything rigorous… you just want to be active 3-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes.

There you have it… that’s the easiest and fastest method for losing weight and those are without a doubt the 2 essential steps for permanent and consistent weight loss.
