Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do. Often once you get there, you fall back into your old habits and you gain weight faster than what you lost it. It really does not have to be so difficult. If you are prepared to work at it and keep the discipline afterwards, you will achieve the desired results and keep them. It is a complete lifestyle change you need to adopt. No one is saying you need to starve yourself either, but you need to be willing to make the change. You need to exercise moderately and ensure your body is in shape. If you are willing to do this, then these tips are for you.
Control your mind
Your mind has a brain of its own. Yes, it changes whenever it likes and makes you do things you do not want to. You need to learn to control your mind. The saying goes “It all starts in the mind”. So forget about starting on a diet or exercise plan if your mindset is not right. Force your mind to listen to you.
Clean out!
Therefore, you have conquered your mind. You open your candy closet and Mr Chocolate and Miss Chips stares back at you. You will not be able to complete the simplest of diet plans with all sorts of snacks and other temptations in your house. Get rid of it. If you are distracted by the fattening foods you see on TV, switch it off. Get body ugly to body beautiful.
Tough partner
Even though it is not proper to force things upon you even if it is good, it is at times the best route to go. If you get home from work and your diet regime requires you to put in a session in the gym, but you feel tired, you will skip it thinking there is always tomorrow. After a week, it will become next week and so on. You need to get a partner that loves fitness and that is at your side on jour weight loss journey.
Fibre rich foods
Digest foods that are rich in fibre. Whole grains are good for you and keeps you fuller for longer. This will keep you away from snacking. Eat fibre rich fruits, vegetables and grains.
Go online
When you purchase a treadmill or similar item online, you often get free access to online weight loss programs that assist you keeping track of your weight loss, calories, stamina, and inches lost and so forth. Other members do the same so there is a sense of competition. They also boost you when commenting on your results.
Go spiritual
Use meditation and spiritual healing to great effect. Quiet your mind and let it float to unknown worlds while you learn how to concentrate. This will assist in consistent weight loss. Sit and listen to the right background music, meditate and concentrate and feel the flow of positive energy.
Stay away
Avoid any food that supposedly can do your body no harm but this is exactly what major companies want you to believe. One glass of a flavoured soda drink contains enough sugar for the whole day. There are many examples of these harmful foods.
Mind tricks
Trick your mind into believing you eat more than you actually are. Use small plates as this tells your mind you are full though you only ate a little. Contrast as well. Use light plates when you eat darker foods and vice versa.
