LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP IT OFF!
Many of people want to lose weight and keep it off, other are simply just beginning on their journey. Some people deal with anxiety of their weight and become depressed, which i have to say was one of my situations. If you wanna adopt a healthier lifestyle and be able to change your weight it will have it's ups and downs. Everyone can achieve it.
Keeping in on your food journal to monitor your progress and your set backs. For the first couple of weeks keep a daily food journal to record what food, how much, when and where you eat as well as monitoring your hunger level and moods before and after. This will boost your awareness and keep you focused on your goals and give you your own feedback. Always be honest and consistent with what you write in your journal.
Emotional issues such as stress, anxiety and depression are the number one predictor of relapses. Using your diet journal, look at your high risk situations and develop a plan for them. Write something like the date, day. The time, food, beverage, portion size, hunger level, where and your feelings before and after.
Exercise will be important for you as well. Did you know that Successful weight losers are very active. A week in activity is equal to walking four miles everyday. But you don't have to begin your program with much exercise, most people like myself didn't start at a high level. Increase slowly, so by the time you reached your goal, you would be very active and maintain it.
These are just some basic things i applied and it really helped me on my journey and still use it till this day. I hope that it could be of some use someone. Thanks for reading the post. If you wanna know more about diets and nutrition you could click on the links above or click here.
If going to do this you must wanna do it for you and only you. That would be your first step in your journey. If you wanna lose it because someone makes rude comment about your weight, or your family is pressuring you. I know it's easier said than done, but i was one of those people in that situation.
Start planning for just about everything and start now, the longer you wait the more unhealthy you will be. Plan all your meals, your daily exercises and how you will handle food situations. For instance going out with a friend to eat. Even when falter you should have a plan, just keep that in mind. As a person who succeed at a healthier lifestyle today, i still am confronted with the same situations. But i always think to myself that i have come this far and i will not fall victim to these situations. Part of planning will be to set a realistic goal. So have a realistic goal of losing weight of 2 pounds a week.

Eating Clean Foods
Many of us have probably taken living in a healthy lifestyle for granted or even life it self, i know because i use to be one of the people who did. But what if you could change all that and be more healthy today. What if you could eat more and lose weight, become more healthy and have the best body you ever had. Would you do it?
A lot of the answer to a healthy life style is really just staring right at you, it's been like that your entire life. The answer is right in the kitchen and in your stomach. Your answer would be food! Clean, whole, natural earthy food. To eat clean is to change once and for all the way you are eating. The way to become healthy.
Your body needs fuel, eat more and eat more often. Eating more encourages the metabolism to do its job of burning fat more efficiently. Even more so eating the right foods helps even better. It really all comes down to you and everthing is in your own hands. The ideal foods for eating is a combination of lean protien and complex carbs. If you dont know about great clean foods to eat you could learn from here. But i will give you alittle break down of it.
Your complex carbs come from fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Lean protien foods come from whole grains like quinoa, sea vegetables, egg whites, chicken breast, beef and fish. Those are all clean foods to eat. Those are the combination you should fuel your body with.
Drink more water. Water does wonders for your shape and your skin. Chances is that you're probably dehydrated at the moment. Don't wait to get thirsty. Drinking lots of water is a must. Our body is made up of mostly water and drinking lots of water hydrates the body, cleans it from toxins, lubricates, and cools it down.
Sugar! It would be a best time for you to cut down on the sugar. Also cut down on sodium, and other chemicals too. Foods that are loaded with saturated fats and trans fat gunks up our pipes and make us sick. This would included doughnuts, marshmallow, sodas, bacon, cereals that pack some sugar, fruit juices, fake fruit drinks, basically junk foods.
If you wanna take the first step in to a healthy lifestyle start packing up clean eating foods, it will save you from the really nasty foods. This will be critical to your success. The more you stick to wholesome foods, the healthier, leaner and happier you will be.
