Weight Loss Tips & Tricks
Losing weight is difficult for most people, but the reality is that losing weight isnt as difficult as we might think. Recent studies have shown that it doesnt matter what diet you follow or even how much exercise you do. The bottom line is what matters is how much you eat, or how many calories you take in.
Although many of us have eaten low carb, or visited weight loss centers or joined weight loss plans to help us lose weight, and those arent inherently bad programs, we really need to be focused on how many calories we are eating. Studies have shown that while low carb diets do work, its not because they provide some magical scientific method for losing weight. Its because you naturally eat fewer calories when you eat low carb. It all comes down the number of calories eaten.
Counting calories seems easy enough, and you might think that you dont need to follow any plan, that you can simply count calories. You can, but many of us might still thrive knowing that we are following particular guidelines set by a diet plan. You can save time if you follow a plan because you dont have to do the menu planning yourself. The final benefit is that following a plan ensures that you get the right nutrients, since menu plans you get from some third party sources are often formulated by dieticians with your health (as well as weight loss) in mind.
But you can certainly create your own diet too, that is based on the nutritional advice you might get from magazines or books. You can consult a dietician, and create your won menu plan based on your individual food preferences. But doing so can create problems if you arent careful about the nutritional content of your meals.
Its important when you count calories that you make each bite count. That is, each bite should include important nutrients. Because calories are restricted, there are fewer opportunities to get good nutrients in with the reduced calorie intake. The solution, then, is to ensure that each bite, that each meal, contains essential nutrients. Make sure theres a good balance of vital vitamins, minerals, protein, calcium and fiber.
Finally, record what you eat. When you write down what you eat (whether electronically or on paper) you are instantly accountable for what you have eaten. It makes you think about what you have eaten and maybe question your choices. Its also an excellent way to count every calorie and ensure that you dont go over your daily allotment. Keeping a count in your head will always cause problems.
If you are dedicated to the job of losing weight and you are sure of your own ability to put up a good effort, all thats left is finding the plan. Its bit of a comfort to know that the plan isnt where its at. Simply cut calories and record those calories (thats the real trick) and the weight loss will happen. - 17268
