Use These Tips For Healthy Weight-Loss

By Erik McDermott


Losing weight no longer needs to be just a thought floating around in your head. You can make it a reality. Following these simple tips, you will see how easy weight loss can actually be. Don't be intimidated by the thought of weight loss. Losing weight is just within your reach.

To curb your calorie intake, use a smaller plate at your meals. Instead of grabbing a large dinner plate, use a smaller salad plate for each meal. It will help you keep portion sizes in check and trick your mind into thinking you are eating much more than you actually are.

Getting enough sleep every night is actually very important when losing weight. A lack of sleep brings about irritability, an inability to focus and most importantly, a lack of energy. Fatigue brings about both a reduction of physical activity and an increase in behaviors, like overeating, which lead to weight gain.

Reward yourself at every weight loss milestone. You get to set the milestones, so you can buy a new CD at five pounds down, a massage at minus 20 or that drop-dead outfit you've always wanted to be able to wear when you reach the 50-pound mark. Have fun with it!

A really good tip to help you lose weight is to stop buying regular yogurt and start buying plain yogurt. Regular yogurt isn't all that healthy because it's high in sugar. Plain yogurt is much healthier and you can even add your own ingredients, such as nuts and berries.

The key to good nutrition can be as simple as reading the labels on the food that you buy. Look at the calories and fat contents on foods. Strive to only buy things that have thirty percent or less of their calories, come from the total fat content.

One easy way to consume less calories and lose more weight, is to make it a point to leave a portion of your food, uneaten, at each meal. It doesn't matter what it is or how much you leave there. The point is, to allow you to realize that you still feel full, even with a little less to eat.

A great way to help you lose weight is to stop eating regular cottage cheese and start eating non-fat or low-fat cottage cheese. Regular cottage cheese has a pretty high fat content. Low-fat cottage cheese is much healthier and actually promotes lean body mass when eaten at night.

You have to tell yourself that defeat is not an option. You may stumble and you may fall, but you can not stay down. Use what you have learned here, is to help you get up and dust yourself off. Each day is a new opportunity to succeed. Make today your day.
