Do you want to lose weight effectively and properly?
Many people often give up on losing weight because they end up going about it the wrong way.
If you are organized and have guidance throughout the process, you will have no problem losing weight slowly but surely.
Below is some guidance to help you out in your weight loss journey and some tips and tricks on how to keep the weight off!
Lose Weight Effectively and Properly By Moving More
If you have a job that requires you to sit for prolonged periods, use any extra time that you have to add a little bit of exercise into your day.
Whenever you can get up and walk around, definitely do so because all the calories you burn helps.
Furthermore, instead of taking an elevator or even just sitting on your phone during your lunch break. Use the stairs and a bit of your break to go for a walk and then use the rest of the break to relax and eat.
Remember, any physical activity you do helps.
Lastly, getting a FIT BIT or an APPLE WATCH can be greatly beneficial to you because you’ll know how many steps you are getting in a day.
Using them can be a great tool to get that extra little bit of exercise in!
Add Flavor To Your Healthy Food
Healthy eating can get bland until you discover the right herbs and spices to add flavor.
For this reason, add some new flavors into your diet with herbs and spices.
You can grow herbs yourself if you like, or buy them at your local grocery store,
Keeping a wide selection of herbs and spices that you enjoy can really make a difference for you in terms of wanting to eat protein-rich foods with veggies.
In general, healthy eating does not have to be boring.

It will definitely change your life in terms of the amazing foods you can have that are exceptionally low in calories, but rich in flavor!
Pay Attention When You Are Eating
Eating while distracted will NOT help you lose weight effectively and properly.
Why is that?
Because when we end up eating mindlessly, we consume a lot more then what we would have if we were eating consciously.
When we don’t pay attention to how much we are eating we can really overindulge!
Therefore, avoid eating in front of a T.V.
Also, avoid keeping a big bag of chips around.
However, If you do want to have food you enjoy, simply pour it in a bowl instead of having it out of the bag.
This way you control your caloric intake and do not mindlessly keep going at the bag.
Minimize Sodas and Sugary Drinks
By limiting your soda intake, you can cut a significant amount of calories out of your diet.
Simply by cutting sugary drinks out of your diet, you can easily stop yourself from consuming 300-500 calories.
Because sugary drinks are not very filling and are high in calories, you can sneak in a lot of extra unnecessary calories.
Furthermore, by replacing the soda and sugary drinks with water, you will start to see changes in your energy levels and it will aid tremendously in your weight loss journey!
Track Your Food or Plan Ahead
To help yourself from overeating or making emotional decisions, planning your meals in advance can be very helpful to you.
Sometimes what happens when you wait till the last minute to decide what you are going to eat, you are more likely to eat whatever is there.
And that can turn into a mess.
However, if you know what your caloric intake is and generally know what you are going to eat throughout your day, you are more likely to have success.
And this is where tracking your food can help.
By tracking your food intake on an app, you can get a good idea of how much you eat in your day.
Also, you’ll know what you are lacking in.
For example, some people do not eat enough protein. Protein helps with weight loss and by consuming a sufficient amount, you can keep yourself fuller for longer, and see results quicker.
Furthermore, by tracking your food you will find out what your fiber intake is.
Fiber plays a vital role when we try to lose weight. It can help keep you fuller for longer and help you burn more calories when breaking down food.
This is why it is important to track your food.
However, this does not mean you have to do it forever. But to educate yourself on how food and portions work, it is highly recommended.
Add Weight Training to Your Fitness Lifestyle
By exercising 2-4 times a week you can start to see changes in your body in 4-6 weeks.
However, just doing steady-state cardio won’t get you there in the most efficient way possible.
Weight training has been shown time and time again to be the most effective and proper way to lose weight.
When you do resistance training you begin adding lean muscle and lose body fat fairly quickly.
By performing the exercises correctly, you will target the muscles in the right manner which will help you get leaner quicker as well.
Your form is always the most important thing when it comes to weight training. Not only because you load the joints correctly, but you also reduce your risk of any injury!
