Weight Loss Secrets of Successful
Losers
The
most important secret to losing weight and keeping it off
is that you must cut calories and workout – not one or the
other.
Did you know that wearing jeans speeds weight loss? According
to Dr. Roshini Raj, professor of medicine at New York University
School of Medicine, people who wear jeans walk 491 more steps per day
than those who don't wear jeans. The reason is likely due to the
comfortable nature of jeans which encourages people to be more active,
and as a result, burn more calories.
Research shows that it is important to develop a weight loss plan, adopt a healthy diet and workout if you want to lose weight and keep it off.

Many
attempts at weight loss fail because a plan
is not established. Research shows that individuals who set their own
goals are
more likely to follow through and achieve success. A weight loss plan is a
three step process to set your goals, determine how you will meet your
goals and measure your success.

Maintaining
a healthy diet is
difficult
no matter what your age. With our hectic schedules, good nutrition is
more challenging than ever. In addition to weight loss, a good diet can help reduce your risk of chronic
disease and improve your overall health and well being.

Want
to know how to lose weight
and keep it off? Try adding weights
to your aerobic workout. When you combine cardio activity with
strength training you
get two workouts in one and burn more calories than in a
traditional workout.
Did you know that laughing for ten minutes burns about 50 calories? Laugh with your kids, husband, friends or with a funny movie at least three times throughout the day and burn about 3.5 pounds in three weeks. Laughter also makes us feel better. According to the Physiology Society in London, laughter releases tension and psychic energy which gives the body a way to cope when sad, upset or angry.
More Weight Loss Secrets
Don't
take in more calories than you burn during the day.
Exercise
regularly. If that is next to impossible, then take a walk after dinner.
Keep
a food journal which can help you lose almost double the weight.
Try
to survive the weekend by staying on track and not over
eating.
How to Survive the Weekend When You Are On A Diet
Studies show that Saturday is the worst day of the week for dieters.
Most attribute this to the lack of schedule that we tend to keep during the work week.
The best tip to survive the weekend is to begin your day with a high protein breakfast.
High protein foods slow the movement of food from the stomach to the intestine.
This means the stomach empties more slowly and you will feel fuller longer and get hungrier later.
Eating protein at breakfast will also reduce cravings.
Try a white egg vegetable omelette, frittata or scrambled eggs.
Snack during the day on high fiber foods that speed weight loss.
