5 Tips For Weight Loss

There seems to be a relationship between being overweight and high cholesterol levels. Regardless of your reason for wanting to lose weight, here are some tips for consideration:
 

1. Get a journal and write down a list of all the things that you would do, have, and enjoy if you win the war against overweight. Ask yourself: How does my ideal body look like? What type of apparels could I wear if I were X inches slim? What sports would I enjoy if I were fitter? Would I attend more parties? Have more dates? What could greater self-confidence enable me to do? Could I embark on a new career, that dream job?

2. Establish what causes you to gain weight. Was it lack of exercise, overeating, pregnancy, emotional stress...? Understand that some triggers could be avoided, while some couldn't. Make small lifestyle changes at a time.

3. You are what you eat -- make it a habit to read food labels and insist on choosing low fat, less sugar, less cream, less oil. This advice is one of the simplest for losing weight. Someone who is a coffee lover benefited from this tip. Her favorite order was mocha latte whip cream. Ever since being told to watch her diet, she switched to ordering fresh brew (unsweetened black coffee). "I found the aroma in fresh brew irresistible. It is simply the best way to enjoy coffee", she remarked. She lost some weight in two months and attributed it to cutting down on whip cream.

4. Drink a cup of water every morning before you eat anything else. This habit has long been practised by many for its health benefits. Water flushes the gut, moisturizes the stomach wall, reduces our hunger, and reduces our urge to overeat, which helps in weight loss.

5. Finally, don't skip meals. Skipping meals can make you very hungry -- causing you to overeat.

Once you have successfully reduced weight, discipline yourself to maintain your new weight. It shouldn't be tough. Continue doing what you have been doing that led you to lose weight. Repeat the 5 steps daily and you would be on track to a slimmer figure.

Wishing you success in weight loss...
