5 Weight Loss Tips You May Not Have Heard Before

In this ever increasing fat-land we are trying to find new ways to lose the pounds. We are trying crash diets, special clothing, new exercise trends and each time we think we found the magic formula, we see the scales tipping higher. We forget there is no secret to weight loss. So I here to stress it once again. There is only one way to lose weight and keep it off. That is a balanced diet, exercise and plenty of rest.
Easier said than done, I know, but let me give you a couple of quick tips to help you get going. Follow these 5 simple rules and you will see yourself start to thin out:

1. Omit the words "fried" and "sugar" from you lips. Literally, block those foods from your menu all together and you will be well on your way to dropping pounds. Don't be fooled, tempura is fried!


2. Eat breakfat and eat it as soon as you get up. Don't let two hours go by without consuming something. Avoid eating pancakes, fried eggs, bacon, sausage and hashbrowns. Instead eat toast, poached eggs, veggie bacon or sausage and fresh orange juice. Another good one is whole oats oatmeal and raisins with honey or agave nectar.

3. Avoid your stove. If you never turn on an eye on your stove again, you will be giving your body a blessing. Everything on top of your stove is fried. (Yes even with cooking spray)

4. Exercise at least 3 times a week. And vary your exercise. You should take at least 30 minutes to exercise. If you do cardio, you should do it twice a day and spend one day doing strength training. Pick up a gallon of water and start lifting. Do sit ups and push ups. Try to hold your body up with your elbows for a minute. Core exercises are the best, if that is all you do.

5. Go to bed at a reasonable hour. 9pm is best, but whatever time you get up in the morning, you should count back at least 8 hours and go to bed then. No matter what you have to do all day, rest is the most important thing for you, so schedule it in just like you do everything else in your life. This will regenerate your muscles and your mind so you can get back out there and balance everything else.

These 5 simple things should help you show results faster than anything else. Don't forget portion control. If you tend to eat everything on your plate then scale back and only put one handful at a time on your plate and wait 15 minutes before you go back for more. Do this for a month and weigh yourself! Dramatic improvement. Do this for the rest of your life and you will never have to weigh yourself again. Be gentle to yourself as well. If you have a fried attack, let it go and get right back to your plan. It doesn't make sense to indulge if you don't enjoy it.

Love yourself first and you will improve your commitment to all the things you want in your life. Sphere: Related Content
