How to lose weight

STEP 1: Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit and then go for 5 more. STEP 2: Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! STEP 3: Sneak in extra exercise in addition to your regular program. Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator. STEP 4: Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas. STEP 5: Choose foods that you like. Learn to prepare healthful, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating dull. STEP 6: Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating. STEP 7: Plan ahead. Keep the fridge stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food. STEP 8: Keep a food diary. This will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet. STEP 9: Once you discover your favorite snack time, be sure to have plenty of healthful options available. Tips & Warnings Lose weight with a friend, or join a support group. Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home. Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer. Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too? Lose weight gradually--you are more apt to keep it off. A safe amount is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week. Consult a doctor to find an exercise program that is best for you. Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. If you choose to go with a specific diet plan, choose one that is medically credible. If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet.

Nice to see you here, you are new! Take a fresh lead out of anything, you can discuss here a lot! And to take away your next question also: YES!, my lot is paying, so please go ahead! About wanting to loose weight. Forget all the drinks, the pills and the other stuff. Its only a commercial way of doing business, it only would empty your wallet, not give you lasting weight losses! I would recommand just eating healthy. That sounds to normal to tell you. You sure know what NORMAL portions of foods are. Thats enough. Learn to listen to your stomach, it always give you a little sign you have had enough. And eat lots and lots and lots of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables! My husband dropped down 23 kilograms by eating tons of vegetables and fruits and drinking just plain water out of the tap. If you take a receipt from the supermarket about half a year ago our groceries where things like diary foods, bit of vegetables, bit of fruits, lot of cookies, snacks, nuts, chips, sauces to go over foods, sweets. Now, half a year later, our groceries contain most of it are fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh juices, a little bit of diary foods, a little bit of snacks (for me). So thats the different way to do it. You have to do it YOURSELF, no product will help you permanently loose some weight. Thats just commercial talkings.
