OK, putting it bluntly being overweight puts you at a higher risk of developing heart disease, strokes, diabetes and cancer. So maybe you have tried to loose weigh and maybe you did then you put it all back on again. Wouldn't it be nice if you could strip that fat permanently? Well believe it or not you can if you just follow some simple rules.
Rule 1. Starving yourself is not an option!
Forget the crash diets and reducing your calorie intake,you are only damaging your metabolism. Your metabolism needs to be high if you are going to loose that weight!
Rule 2. Start your day with a nice healthy breakfast.
Starting your day with a healthy breakfast will get your metabolism up and running burning up those calories all through your day.
Rule 3. Eat ,eat, eat then eat some more!
Believe it or not, it is better to eat five or six small meals per day instead of three large ones! Eating every two to three hours will keep that old metabolism stoked up and burning brightly all day long.
Rule 4. Learn love water.
Did you know that 65% of your body is water! Water is actually the KEY to weight loss! Water regulates your metabolism, keeps it up to speed so it can burn that fat efficiently. Water keeps your skin elastic so that it snaps back into place when you have lost weight. Water contains no fat and no calories so stop taking coffee breaks and start taking water breaks!
Rule 5. Sugar is a no go area.
Sweets, pastries and fizzy drinks are evil! They are no go areas if you are serious about loosing weight. Learn to love fruit especially apples and pears. Learn to love vegetables especially green ones. Eat brown rice and wholemeal pasta.
Rule 6. Fat can be good for you?
Yes, you read that right. Some fats are good for you like olive oil, nuts and Omega-3 rich fish. The baddies are in saturated fats so you must avoid food like burgers and fries like the plague!
Rule 7. You have got to exercise.
If you want to strip that fat you have got to take plenty of exercise. So take up a sport, golf, tennis, dancing, volleyball, will all help you burn those calories. Gardening is also good and walking is best of all.
Rule 8. You must have a plan.
If you want to loose weight permanently you've got to have a plan. You've got to set yourself goals same as anything else you really want to do. If you don't have a goal how will you know how you're going? Set weekly, monthly or annual goals then break those goals down into daily do-ables. But make sure your plan is realistic and achievable otherwise you'll just become frustrated and give up.
Rule 9. You have got to want to loose weight!
I am putting this rule last (but it is really the first Rule) because I want you to go away and think hard about it. None of the other rules will be worth a dam to you if you don't know why you want to loose weight. When you have got that answer you can then practice visualizing yourself as the person you truly want to be. Then following the rules will be easy and you will loose the weight you want to loose, permanently!
