Many people believe that weight loss is too easy, and that they can achieve it in no time. You may or may not be aware of it, but this very attitude leads them to weight loss failure. Unless you know about the right weight loss ‘tricks’, how can you expect to get rid of your fat tummy? In this article I will give you three weight loss tips.
1. Stick to a routine: When you want to lose weight, you need to replace your old ‘bad’ habits with the new ‘good’ ones. When you were following your old habits of eating junk foods and watching television for hours, you were following a ROUTINE, and then they became habits. Similarly, now you need to establish the routine of eating healthy foods and exercising instead of sitting on the couch all day. Let’s say that you eat four burgers per day. Make a point to replace one burger with a natural fruit everyday; slowly it will become a habit and you will forget about burgers.
Similarly, if you watch television in the evening, spend that time in doing some workouts instead! After you start working out at a fixed time, you will soon see that this has developed into a habit. The trick to forming a new habit is to keep doing the same thing at the same time over and over again! More importantly, try to STICK to your new timetable!
2. Boost your metabolic rate: There is a rule for weight loss which states that the higher your metabolic rate is, the faster you are able to burn fat and lose weight. Therefore you should make every effort to increase your metabolic rate. The best way to do this is by increasing your lean muscle mass. Lean muscles have the tendency of burning fat at a tremendous pace. There are many exercises that would help you with muscle building but the one I recommend is weight training or resistance training, because they are the best workouts for this purpose. Even a half-an-hour weight lifting everyday would help you burn a lot of fat!
3. Talk to the right experts: When it comes to weight loss, often a general doctor may not be able to offer you much help. For example, if you need to change your diet, a nutritionist would be good, and if that nutritionist has himself lost weight using his diet plan then that is even better! Similarly, when it comes to exercises, professional fitness trainers who have themselves lost weight are the ideal experts for you! The bottom line is, you would want to find someone who is an expert and has already achieved what you want to achieve!
