10 tips to lose your weight

Before you start reading the tips, you need to ask yourself some serious questions. Why do you need lose weight? Why are you overweight? Why have you been unable to lose weight? If you have answered all of them honestly, then you are ready to start and put the 10 tips into action and start losing all you fat.

Watch what you eat 

What you eat is what you gain. It is very simple and 100% true. One effective way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories. One pound is equal to 3500 calories. In other words, you have to burn 3500 more calories than you take-in to lose one pound. Most adults need between 1200- 2800 calories/day-depending on body size & activity level to meet the body's energy needs.

Change your lifestyle 

The problem of just dieting is that you will tend to gain you weight back (or more) within a few months of dieting. It is a conventional 'on' and 'off' method.If you change your lifestyle by changing your eating habit, you will have a continued success in keeping your ideal weight.

Start reading labels 

There is no way to avoid this tip. You need to know what you are putting in your mouth. Pay attention to the calorie count. Sometimes ask ourselves "What does all the jargon mean?" "Saturated fat, lean, extra lean, light"

Do your exercise regularly 

Pick a suitable exercise routine that suites your daily life. Try jogging, or aerobics. Make it fun and enjoyable to you. Join a gym or find an exercise buddy. An exercise buddy will boost your spirit to do a regular exercise. Don't pick a routine that you don't like.

Set realistic goals 

You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery - but not if you're human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't bite off more than you can chew - literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you'll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add).

Find out your Body Mass Index 

Body Mass Index or BMI is a mathematical formula that accounts for both a person's weight and height. Like the weight-for-height table, BMI is a useful general guideline and is a good estimator of body fat for most adults

Healthy weight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 19 and less than 25 among all people aged 20 or over. Generally, obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30, which approximates 30 pounds of excess weight. Excess weight also places people at risk of developing serious health problems.

One pound a week 

If you're not losing at least one pound a week on your chosen weight loss regimen, you're (a) stalled, or (b) finished. You might need to push yourself even harder, or (in some cases) let up a little bit while your body plays catch-up. If you lose more than one pound a week, then you're doing better than average. Expecting to lose five pounds a week just isn't realistic, though.

Sleep more 

You may not believe it but giving your body to rest physically and mentally will help to you to lose weight. Studies found that people that sleep less than 8 hours will tend to gain weight that those who sleep more. Maybe you could think of it in a simple way. If you are alert at night, you will tend to be hungry easily and tend to eat a late night snack.

Avoid fast food 

Try to eliminate fast food and soft drinks in your diet. This is found to be useful for most people who are on a diet. The easiest way too. You can lose up to 1 pound in a month if you stop drinking soda alone.

Water Water and Lots of Water 

How do we forgot the last and the most important tips of all. If you're not hydrated, your body won't be working at peak levels. Most of your body happens to be water, by the way. If you're worried about "water weight," remember that you're likely to retain more water when you're not giving your body enough of it in the first place. Besides, that's what those workout sessions are supposed to help with every other morning.
