Top Five Weight Loss Tips

Top 5 Tips to Weight Loss

Let’s approach weight loss from a healthy, long term view point. That means that we will not be talking about fads and crash diets, which leads us to our first healthy tip.

Crash Diets Are Out

It seems simple enough. When you seriously decrease your calorie intake, the body starts to digest fats. This sounds great, but there is a hidden danger here. Since burning fat needs a lot of energy, your body will run at a slow pace which can weaken your immune system and result in illness and fatigue.

Increase Your Lean Muscle Mass

Why is exercise important? The answer is because muscles burn calories when they work. Actually, muscles are burning calories all day long. Therefore, if you increase your muscle mass through resistance exercises, it follows that you will burn even more calories.

Get Proper Nutrition

Now that we know the importance of increasing muscle mass, we need to feed those muscles. Stay away from fried foods, and focus on broiled, steamed or roasted varieties of whatever you are eating. Protein is very important for muscle preservation, so never cut protein intake.

Don’t Inhale Your Food

Most of us eat so fast that our stomach doesn’t have enough time to alert the brain to signal our mouth that it’s time to stop chewing. How can we slow down? Try this. After each bite, we suggest that you chew, swallow and then put down your fork. Take a drink of water and then start again. If you follow this technique, you will see results.

Have Another Drink

Of course we mean have another drink of cold, refreshing water. When you’re trying to loss weight, water will help flush the waste products from your body. And you need water to deliver nutrients to your muscles which in turn will speed up your weight loss program.
