Best Way To Lose Weight

If you've been trying to lose weight for years, you're probably aware that it's harder than it seems. While some people may be naturally slender, many of us aren't. However, that doesn't mean you can't find out how to successfully lose weight. It's just that what works for one person won't be a magic bullet for the next. That means paying attention to your body, what you're eating, and how you live instead of just looking to mainstream diets for weight loss. These diets can work, and many of them are quite effective. You just have to be willing to adapt them to your lifestyle.

One thing that can help you lose weight if you've struggled in the past is better record keeping. While that sounds boring, it can actually be a big help. Make sure you weigh yourself regularly, and always at the same time of day. It doesn't matter if you do it every morning, or once a week. Wear the same thing, and take down your weight. After a while, you'll start to see a trend. Your weight will fluctuate from day to day, since we're heavier depending on what's in our stomachs, what we're wearing, or (for women) the time of month. However, you can average those numbers and see if, in general, your weight is going up, down, or staying the same. Once you know this, you can start making changes.

Pay attention to what you're eating and how much activity you're getting. Compare the trends in your diet and exercise to trends in your weight and see if there's a correlation. While it can take a little while to figure out what's going on, tracking this kind of information makes it much easier to see why you're losing or why you've stagnated, and to make changes. You might have to do something as small as drink extra water or forgo an afternoon snack to get the number moving in the direction you want them to.

Have realistic expectations and goals, too. Generally you'll have an easier time meeting a number of small goals, such as five, ten, or fifteen pound losses, than you will a big goal like fifty or sixty pounds. Those little goals add up, and eventually you'll have lost a lot of weight. However, stick to small, easier to reach goals that will keep you from getting discouraged. Don't assume you'll be able to lose all your weight quickly. A loss of two to three pounds a week is usually safest - at that rate, you'll be losing no more than four to eight pounds per month. It can take a while to take all the weight off. However, if you take it slow, you'll be more successful in the long run, more likely to keep the weight off, and healthier.

Finding out how to successfully lose weight is often a matter of figuring out what works for your body. A commercial diet might be a great place to start, and you'll have a lot of information to work with. Just don't be discouraged if you have to make some changes to successfully take the pounds off. Everyone is different, so we all need different weight loss plans.

Weight affects a person in many ways, not just their physical appearance. The affects of being overweight could be damaging to a person's overall quality of life, determine whether or not that person will suffer from depression, self-esteem issues, not being able to do things other people can do, and major health risks. It is because of these reasons that a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will help them slim down at their trouble spots and get them a nice, head turning body.

The very first thing a person who is over-weight and looking to lose weight should do is consult a doctor to work on a weight loss plan with him or her. Normally, this is done after having a full physical exam. The physical will help determine the best plan of action for a proper weight loss technique. There are four aspects of life an over-weight person must change to lose weight fast and effectively: what to eat, how to eat, behavior, and physical activity.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

1. Mindset, exercise, and in some cases, diet supplements compose a comprehensive fast weight loss technique. First, learn a diet food plan that you can easily become accustomed to. Then, incorporate an exercise plan. The exercise plan should allow at least fifteen minutes a day for physical activities like brisk walking, running, swimming, dancing, and weight-lifting.

2. Set realistic approaches to the exercises and goals. Having the ability to have a proper mindset and focus will enable someone who is on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. A person who is disciplined will never be discouraged.

3. Listen to your body. Everyone's body and metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. To compensate for the body's reaction to a certain program, substitute in another. An exercise program must be suitable to one's own body as another person may not be able to be as rigorous in their workout as another person. If the only thing that can be done is walking, then walking is the most proven exercise for that person. Putting on muscle help the body burn more calories than just walking, so put on some muscle and be stronger and look good, too.

4. Fiber makes a person feel fuller and stay full longer. Fiber stays in the stomach longer which slows down the rate of digestion. Eating a single serving of whole grain bread helps move fat faster through the digestive system. The body turns grains into blood sugar which, in turn, spikes the insulin level in the body. This makes the body much more energized.

5. Fried foods are a no-no. Fried foods contain a large amount of fat, especially deep-fried food. For a person trying to lose weight, it is a good idea to opt for grilled food, such as fish and chicken. This way, the grilled food does not have the amount of fat after the food has been cooked.

6. Drink lots of fluids, such as water. By drinking at least six to eight, eight ounce glasses of water a day helps the body to stay hydrated and refreshed. It has the added benefit of making you feel full, as well. The body must stay hydrated as weight loss greatly depends on how the body eliminates waste.

Still, the best practice to being successful at fast weight loss is discipline and consistency. Eating right, having the right amount of supplements and exercising everyday will result in faster weight loss than just taking massive action only to return to old habits. The key is consistency. Stay with it and the fat will come off fast.

WHAT THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM IS NOT.

The best weight loss program is probably NOT about diets, diet pills, fad diets, or even about dieting! While it involves physical activity...we're all adults here, I'll use the word..exercise...it is NOT about pushing your physical limits, embarrassing yourself in front of the neighbors, joining an expensive gym, or hiring a personal trainer. It is NOT about joining a cult, avoiding friends, alienating your family, eating only unappealing and unappetizing foods or feeling guilty and depressed. Most of all, it should NEVER be about BEING ALONE in your struggle.

WHAT THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM IS!

Most simply stated, the best weight loss program is the one you will stick with. Let's modify that a little and say that it is a healthy, doable, rational, flexible program you will stick with...that works!

THE BASIC FACTS ABOUT DIETING AND WEIGHT LOSS!

Diets don't work. Yep! It is that simple. Oh, if you want to drop 5 or 10 lbs to look good at your sister's wedding, a quick diet might be okay. But if you truly have a weight problem, as over 50% of Americans do, it is a lifelong condition and requires lifelong measures. However, don't consider yourself doomed to a life without pleasure or happiness, and don't give up. Go back and read the first paragraph, and realize that there are things that CAN be done, and YOU CAN DO THEM. In the meantime however, let me just cover a few facts. Quick and dirty. You can scan through them and just get the basics. This article is not going to be big enough, nor intimidating enough, to include everything.

WHY DIETS DON'T WORK.

Diets don't work for a lot of reasons, physical and mental, but I don't have enough space here to cover all of them. The main reason a diet will not work is that your body has some really effective self-regulating mechanisms. If you deprive it of it's expected calorie intake over a period of time, it will adjust itself to need less calories. Although you will be eating less (and definitely not enjoying it), your body will settle into a new pattern and your weight will level off with only a small weight loss. Even worse, when you stop dieting, as you know you will, the body will keep its new level of calorie need while you return to your old eating habits. This brings us to another point.

THE BASIC LAW OF WEIGHT LOSS AND WEIGHT GAIN.

Everybody's body works to it's own rhythm and needs, but they all follow the same law. If you take in more calories than your body needs, it will store the excess as fat. Bottom line. Fact. End of discussion...almost. Using the information in the paragraph above, you can see that when you quit your diet and go back to eating the old way after your body has adjusted its needs downward, you now have MORE EXCESS CALORIES TO BE STORED AS FAT! This is why people often GAIN WEIGHT after a diet...or series of diets.

SO WHAT IS THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM?

As you can see, you are back at the beginning of this discussion, but with a little more information. We can still say that the best weight loss program is the one you will stick with, and now you know a little more about why. Since we are all different, the obvious fact should be that what you need to find is not THE best weight loss program, but YOUR best weight loss program...the one YOU will stick with. The big question in your mind is...

HOW DO YOU FIND "YOUR" BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM?

There are a lot of things you can do to improve your health, your life, and your personal weight situation, such as drink more water, get plenty of sleep, do things that you enjoy, for example. These can all contribute to weight loss, but let's just look at two things for now.

1. Become more active: Notice, I avoided saying, "exercise". Whoops! I said it. Look, exercise equals activity. If you want to do Richard Simmons' tapes and "Sweat to the Oldies", more power to you. If you choose to buy a Bowflex and in a few months look like the grandmother in their TV commercials, that's great! Odds are however, you just need to make some lifestyle adjustments and become more aware of the opportunities that exist to "exercise" in daily life. Oh sure, a planned and scheduled exercise program is great, but so is a walk, or gardening, or swimming, or cleaning house, or...well, you get the idea. The only need is to make it regular,at least 4 or 5 times a week, and to make it challenging.

Only you can assess what is challenging. What is challenging today may simply be walking out to the mailbox and back. One lady started her "exercise program" with that simple step (no pun intended). Another gentleman started his program by walking to the end of his block. That first day, he thought he wouldn't even be able to get back to his house. A few weeks later, he was walking over a mile. At one point in my life, I regularly ran over 6 miles at a time. However, the first time I ever tried to run, I didn't make it half a block. The key is to get started, do it regularly, and challenge yourself.

Becoming more active not only burns calories during the activity (remember, the more calories burned the less fat stored), but continuing the activity over time (you were going to do it regularly) causes your body to shift to a new level where it automatically burns more calories than it used to. The facts behind this are not complicated but require a lot more space than we have here, and I did say I was going to keep to the basics.

People drop out of "exercise programs" for a lot of reasons. For your purposes, do the activity as it fits in your schedule, pick the activity that pleases you, and vary the activity...if you cleaned house yesterday, take a walk today. By the way, if I told you to exercise, to take a walk, you might begin that avoidance process that makes people drop out of formal, planned exercise programs. Why don't you take the grandkids to the zoo instead? If that isn't a workout, I don't know what is. Be creative. It's your "exercise program", make it what you want it to be.

2. Eat sensibly: You know how you SHOULD be eating, right! Back to basics. Lots of vegetables, cut down on portion sizes, have an apple instead of pie or a candy bar. Take the sugar out of your life. There are all kinds of diet tips running around. Not a single one of them is worth a hill of beans...but a bunch of them add up to a lot more than a hill of beans. Changing only one thing is probably not going to make a big difference, but...IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! changing seventeen things might make quite a difference, but there's a secret...

Don't try to make all seventeen, or twelve, or thirty changes all at once. Start with one change, and once it is part of your life, make the next one. You might want to learn a little bit about Kaizen. Small steps in the nutrition area will help get you where you want to go eventually, just as taking that small walk out to the mailbox may someday lead to walking one or two miles at a time.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO STAY ON THIS WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM?

Well, for the rest of your life. That's why it is important to choose activities you enjoy and learn to make better nutrition choices while still enjoying the pleasure of eating. Also, many people have weight loss problems because they have personal issues with life. Your personal weight loss program, regular activity plus nutritional common sense, equals a sense of control over a situation that produces many negative affects in your life. A sense of control over that situation allows you to remove many of those negative affects and move on to rearrange other parts of your life that may need attention.

One last point. I have kept this as simple as possible, but it is based on a large body of information. If you truly want to create the most effective weight loss program for you, you will have to learn a lot more than you probably know now. The public library is a good place to start, as is the internet. Be aware, however, that many people will try to entice you with diet pills and lose-weight-quick plans. Stay focused on a lifestyle change that will last all your life. Even if diet pills, fad diets, and things like weight loss belts or devices that supposedly exercise for you do work, their affect is short lived (and sometimes dangerous) and, as was pointed out above, once you quit the pill or the program you may gain back even more weight than you lost.

A FINAL TIP:

Find a weight loss buddy. Share your goals, and the information in this article, with them. Make sure they are on the same wave length. You might want to walk with them, you might want to shop with them, but most of all, if there is no one else who understands what you are going through...they will, and that is worth more than gold.

Every person has a reason to want to lose weight. Some are moved by the commercials they see on TV where ultra-thin models are featured, while the others just want to imitate most of the celebrities or fashion icons. In a nut shell, the world equates slimness to attractiveness and with such a mentality every body is driven to drop off some pounds.

So what does it take to lose weight? The most popular methods of weight loss include exercises, medication, dieting and so many more. Knowing that there are many options you can chose from with regards to weight loss, understand that not all of these methods are meant for you. In addition to this, safety should be your top most priority while you are doing these weight loss methods. Let's go ahead and have an overview of these weight loss methods.

Exercise is defined as an activity to maintain physical fitness. There are varied exercises out there. Some go to gyms to work out while the others take some dancing or martial arts lessons which are then incorporated as part of an exercise routine. Many people believe that these exercises or routines are a great way to burn off that excess fat and calories. But do you know that there are exercises specifically meant to target a certain area of your body? So if you want to show off that "6-pack" abdomen, there is a certain exercise you need to achieve that. And one of the best resources to find that perfect exercise for you is through the internet or if you have the time to shop around you can go to some gyms and find out about the programs they offer.

Another weight loss method that a lot of people go for is through medication. Most of these weight loss medications are categorized in two, these drugs are either brain neurotransmitters or these zero in to you intestines. The drugs that work as neurotransmitters use chemical to communicate with other nerve cells and reduce appetite. While the drugs that impact the intestines prevent from being calories from being absorbed by the body. Although most of these drugs are approved by the FDA, there use is for short term only meaning a few weeks or months would be sufficient. These drugs do not come without the side-effects. Some of the neurotransmitters' negative effects manifest in an increase of blood pressure along with the heart rate. On the other hand, drugs that prevent fat from being ingested induce diarrhea-like symptoms.

For the sake of safety, self-monitoring is required while using any of these drugs.

Dieting which is another method common for shedding off those pounds may be a challenge for some especially if they've gotten used to eating what they want. This method involves modification of food consumption. Usually, foods high in fat or calories are limited or completely removed from the menu to be replaced by fruits or vegetables rich in vitamins and fiber.

Here are the best exercises to lose weight immediately... results come extremely fast. What's great is that these exercises are pretty simple to do. You just have to do them. If you're motivated, then you're going to love what I have to say.

The Best Exercises To Lose Weight Immediately

1. Walking on an incline

Way better than walking on a flat surface... totally different. Just find a treadmill you can incline from 10-15 degrees and walk on it for 15-20 minutes. This melts fat off your waist, hips, thighs, and butt really fast.

2. Jumping on a mini-trampoline

This is my favorite exercise. Just jump on it for 20 minutes a day. Don't have 20 minutes you say? Ok, do what I do... jump on it during 2 minute tv commercials. Problem solved. This is a top total body exercise.

3. Hula Hoop

Just grab a bigger, weighted hula hoop and get twirling. All you need to do is 5 minutes a day to tone and shape your whole waist and hips area. Great for the feminine, curvy look... think belly dancer.

4. Hindu Squats

Fast-paced bodyweight squats... wow, you'll feel these in your legs and butt. Just squat up and down as fast as you can and shoot for 100 repetitions in under 5 minutes. The oxygen deficit caused by this forces your body to suck up bodyfat instantly.

What you should do is rotate among those 4 exercises. Like I said above, there's nothing hard here. You just gotta do them.

I sincerely believe that those are the best exercises to lose weight immediately with.

If you're sick and tired of getting the same old boring and tired advice on the best exercises to lose weight immediately with... you know, like jog a lot, walk, do the stair stepper, ride a stationary bike, and blah blah blah"... then you found the right person. I'll make weight loss easy and enjoyable for you... AND NOT BORING!

How many of you have ever decided to go for a diet? I bet there are a lot. We, women especially, always think we need to lose some extra pounds - for the summer, for some new dress, for some special occasion. And motivated from this one reason we go for a diet. There are plenty of diets all around us - in the magazines, on the TV shows, on the websites. But how many of them truly work? And how often we have started a diet and then ended up demotivated, gaining back the lost pounds or even more? I know, how you all feel, because I've felt that way too. And now, I already was able to reach my dream-weight. I was able to reduce my clothes-size with 3 numbers and now I feel just perfect. The self confidence and self esteem I gained, makes the people around me like me. And this is just great. How did I do this? In only three steps:

1. Started eating the right food

It is always easy to tell someone who wants to lose weight "start eating the right food". But what does this mean? And how do we make the difference? How do we pick up the food that won't damage our metabolism and health?

This is achieved by reading a lot about it, comparing sources, making sure, that this would be the right choice.

Going on a low-carbohydrate diet is in the most cases the right choice. But this does not mean our body does not need carbohydrates. Just on the contrary - it does, but it does need the correct types of them.

2. Excercising

Go for sports. Sport is healthy, sport gives you energy and self confidence even before you see the first results. For me personally the perfect combination is fitness and swimming, but each one of them as well could give you the perfect results. What workouts should you choose? Such, which include more cardio trainings. Increasing your pulse helps the body start burning calories faster than you imagine.

3. Picking up right diet pills, or fat binding pills

Diet pills and fat binding pills increases immensely the results you have already started to see. And if you want to lose weight in some time frame, this is exactly the step that helps you the most to achieve this.

Check personal experience here:

And remember - there are diets, workouts, and pills, that really work and really help. You just have to pick up the right for you.

What Does Not Shake Off Pounds

In finding a solution to losing fat from your body, you run across and try many things that do not work. These are usually the plans with the best advertising and marketing to get people familiar with their plan. We call these fad diets. Some of these work on the short term to rid you of a few pounds but they have taught you that some food is the enemy and your body needs to eat. In fact, when you take things away from your body it needs, it eventually catches up with you and binge eating is a direct result. This not only puts the weight on you lost but also often comes with more pounds on top of it. This is not a way to shake off those extra pounds.

Learn what Will Work to Burn Fat

You have tried the diets that even when you stick with them, reach a plateau. That one point where no matter how well you follow a plan you just cannot get below. That is because other diets are not directing their efforts at your metabolism. To lose weight you need to understand, how the metabolism works and you will learn how to lose weight fast and easy. Mix up the calories, shift them around and let your metabolism get into the stored fat cells on your body and burn them. The simplicity of this program makes it easy to stick with and work for as long as you would like to continue to look great.
