Five Ways to Start Losing Weight

By Chris Robinson

Many fail to lose their weight consistently. Typically, those are individuals that try every new-coming slimming strategy hoping to succeed at last, but normally success pass them by.

Same mistakes are repeated over and over again, that's why people keep failing at their weight loss plans. It's understandable because as a normal human being, you keep ignoring things that don't make you feel comfortable.

Bellow you will find 5 things that should help you to make first steps to successful weight loss.

1) Keep track of everything you eat by writing it down.

Majority considers that diets they have are healthy but same time are surprised why weight isn't coming off. To keep the track of what you eat and find the faulty piece in your diet, write everything down what you eat. Just get yourself a notebook and simply start writing all down.

Chocolate sweet, crisp, another sweet, your partner's uneaten pizza slice ... In the end of the day you will be surprised how many unhealthy stuff you actually eat.

2) Eat only when you are hungry, drink only when you are thirsty.

Ask yourself "why" every time you reach for food or drink. Ok, water doesn't count. You might eat when you're sad, depressed, happy, tired or for millions of other reasons. If you're bored, go out with friends or watch the movie, if you're tired have a sleep etc. Eat only then when you're hungry and drink when you're thirsty.

3) Do not starve yourself.

It's a common mistake thinking that starvation actually can help you lose weight. It sounds logic; if you gained weight with overeating then you can lose it with not eating or eating very little. It doesn't work like that. Firstly, most will break at some point and then will eat anything. Secondly, bodies are built to survive and they will start saving energy and use "internal reserves".

Forget about starvation and start eating healthy meals. Have 3 (better 5) well balanced meals every day and drink plenty of water. Your usual unhealthy snacks replace by healthy options like nuts or fruits and vegetables.

4) Have your favourite foods occasionally.

Don't exclude your favourite foods from your diet completely but treat yourself with them, once a week let's say. Remember of moderation of course and don't forget that you're on a diet. This will help you to keep going and you won't feel that bad and depressed.

5) ... and exercising.

If you've never exercised then start small. Start with 5 minutes a day and add an extra 5 every week. Get yourself a treadmill and some weights and start doing something. You won't even notice how your exercising will increase from 5 to 30 or even 60 minutes a day. - 17274
