12 Easy Ways To Lose Weight
Ladies, listen up!!! This is why men can lose 5 pounds after running around the block a few times and it takes us 5 months! They have more muscle than we do. 1 pound of muscle burns 50 calories, while 1 pound of fat burns 2. Working out with weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be smaller (but probably weigh more). 2. Set a goal Set a deadline to lose the weight and write it down. For example, by Christmas, I will lose 10 pounds. Tell a friend who will hold you accountable for this. 3. Give up soda If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. EVEN IF IT'S DIET SODA! The amount of chemicals in a diet soda still makes you crave sugar and fat. If you find it hard to stop completely, try something like Crystal Light. Your goal should be to eliminate all soda. 4. Grill or boil Avoid fried foods. Grill or boil your foods, you will feel much better and you won't feel so heavy. 5. Don't buy junk food Keep your home 'junk food free' so you won't be tempted to indulge. Simply don't buy it. It is forbidden in your home. 6. Eat breakfast Consume most of your calories early in the day and always eat breakfast. Get a healthy carb in, like old fashioned oatmeal to keep you full and satisfied until lunch. 7. Give yourself a treat When you tell yourself that you can't have something you want it more. You still want to fill satisfied. Eat half a cookie, or a fun size snickers. Then drink lots of water! 8. Drink lots of water Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that 'full' feeling. Not only will you not feel as hungry, your skin will look better, you will smell better and you'll feel better. Your pee should be clear. 9. Eat five or six meals a day Eating more frequently keeps your metabolism on high. Think of it like running your car. If you are moving, even a bit, you are using fuel. If you stop and turn off the car every time you come to a stop sign, you aren't burning as much fuel. When you eat every few hours, you are feeding the fire and burning more fuel (fat). 10. Plan your workout sessions Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner. It only takes 21 days to create a new habit. When you just don't feel like working out, repeat these words to yourself: "Action leads to motivation. Action leads to motivation." 11. Do several workouts a day While you are cooking dinner, do some toe raises. While blowdrying your hair, do some squats. If you workout out the bigger muscle groups, you will burn more calories throughout the day. 12. Keep pre-cut vegetables and fruit Fruit can help curb that sweet tooth and vegetables provide that "crunch" that chip lovers crave.
