Too many people say 'I want to lose weight' without planning.
Just 'saying it and doing it' is never going to be enough - because it is only short term. Motivation can be easily lost and found.
A major factor in weight loss success is planning - planning to buy healthier foods, planning to change lifestyle habits and planning to be patient are the ingredients.
Below are 3 tips on how to successfully lose weight- 1. Make Smart Swaps in Your Diet : Eat smart, eat more fruits and vegies, eat steamed or grilled food - and avoid the fried foods. Swap white rice for brown rice, grilled for fried chicken, forget pouring dressing all over the salad, and swap for a light frappuccino instead of the regular version.
2. Retrain Your Taste Buds : This will take time and effort but learning to crave good foods is a great way to cut out the bad calories. For instance, instead of drenching your salad with ranch dressing, drizzle on balsamic or red wine vinegar and a table spoon of olive oil. If soda's your drink, try swapping it for a sparkling water with a splash of juice. If you do this, you will overtime cut out the high calorie foods.
3. Make Your Workouts Count - If you face plenty of obstacles that conspire to keep you away from the gym such as work deadlines, sick kids and the occasional lack of enthusiasm - you're not alone. However, you can help yourself by planning an excuse proof schedule with time efficient fat burning workouts using interval training and a combination of lower and upper body moves. There require very little time, but challenging enough to stimulate your fat burning hormones. More importantly, for females - weight training is essential and you are better off doing strength training to sculpt your body, and interval training to burn the fat.
There you have it, it may sound simple but it should be. Don't make things complicated - just plan to get things started with the above tips, and continue to implement more healthy but enjoyable options to your fat loss journey.
