5 More Great Weight Loss Tips

June 12, 2015 sarah Uncategorized

Losing weight is an educational process. If you’re losing weight the right way — by changing your lifestyle, not by dieting — then you’ll be actively learning as you go. Here are five great tips that will help improve your weight loss education:

1. Read the labels. When I started losing weight, I was often surprised by what was (and wasn’t) bad for me. Reading the labels on the food I was buying really opened my eyes and motivated me to change my eating habits.

2. Set healthy, progressive goals. Instead of saying “I want to lose 50 lbs”, say “I want to start walking twenty minutes a day.” If you set unrealistic weight loss goals, you’ll soon be disheartened when you don’t reach those goals as fast as you’d like. Realistic health and exercise related goals are a lot easier to stick to, and you’ll find yourself motivated by the good results you see as you stick to them.

3. Stop comparing yourself to other people. You are not other people — you are unique. Your neighbor might be able to drop ten pounds in a week, while it takes you two or three months to accomplish the same thing. Rejoice in your own success, and don’t berate yourself if other people seem to lose weight faster.

4. Don’t try to deprive yourself. If you never have any of the deserts or snacks that you love, you’ll crave them and end up binging and negating much of your progress. Let yourself have a little bit of your favorite treat. Set a day aside for it that you can look forward to, and keep the portion reasonable.

5. Get enough sleep. In order for your metabolism to work at peak performance, you need to get eight hours of sleep each night.

As long as you’re losing weight you should be learning, reading and educating yourself. These five tips should help you to continue to progress toward your ultimate weight loss goals.
