Healthy Diet Plan

Weight loss is a challenge for most people.  We are constantly surrounded by temptation.  There are many different weight loss methods, not all will work for everyone.  Simple changes in diet and exercise work for some people other people need to work harder and take a supplement.

Don’t listen to friends and relatives unless they have successfully taken off the weight and kept it off.  There are a lot of people spouting advice but it’s usually not helpful and sometimes it can even be harmful.  Take responsibility for yourself and choose a method that will work for you. 

Here are some helpful tips.

1. Stay away from junk food.  This WILL sabotage your weight loss success.  Fats, chemicals, preservatives are all harmful to your body and prevent weight loss.   Junk foods are high in calories and low in nutrients.  You can eat a full meal of junk food and still have your body crying out for nutrition by signalling that you are still hungry.  Plan ahead and take food with you.  Keep a good supply of fresh fruit and vegetables in your house.  Chuck the junk!  Cooking your own meals will help you cut down on unwanted ingredients and save you money.  Take sugar and white flour out of your diet.

2. Eat smaller portions more frequently:  This fuels your metabolism.  Eat, 5 or 6 small meals each day, you will lose weight more quickly.  This prevent you from getting hungry in between meals and grabbing for the junk food.  

Cut back on your calories but don’t deprive yourself.  You must eat less calories than you burn (simple math really)   Start slow and decrease your calories every day.  Or increase your exercise daily. Don’t completely cut out your favourite treats. This will cause you to binge.

4. I can’t over emphasize the importance of exercise in your weight loss program.  If in the past you haven’t liked exercising you haven’t found the right exercise yet.  There really is something for everyone.  Dancing, sailing, swimming, walking, hiking, roller blading…  Find something you enjoy.  Weight loss without exercise is extremely difficult. Exercise builds  muscle mass and speeds up your metabolism. Your body will burn a lot more fat if your metabolism is faster and you’ve built up your muscle mass.   Increase your physical activity  throughout the day. For example take the stairs instead of the elevator.  Walk to the store instead of driving.  

To sum it up the easiest way to lose weight is through simple exercise and dieting. If you are still struggling consult your doctor.
