Losing weight fast and keeping it off for good
Weight Loss Tips to help you on your journey to a new you.
With so many websites publishing information on fast weight loss it's easy to get lost in the plethora of opinions. First, know that there's not one simple solution that works for every single person. You know your body, your habits and your limitation better than anyone else. So, take time to design your own wellness plan based on your own research, not the opinions of the so-called experts out there.
That being said, Diet777 has put together some tips for you that should help you get to your goals.
Exercise is a must for anyone serious about getting healthier. Society has evolved much faster than our bodies. Humans are "hunter gatherers" designed for a life of activity. Our ancestors, just a few generations ago, had to work hard for their food. In fact, we've evolved so fast that it will take thousands of years for our bodies to evolve out of the hunter gatherer beings we are. Imagine 200 years ago what it must have been like for someone to eat a full course meal. Vegetables, breads, vitamins, minerals and nutrients in general took lots of work to collect. That being said, you don't have to become a gym-rat in order to lose weight or get healthier. Start small. Walk around the block if you can. Then tomorrow walk around the block twice. Before you know it you'll be doing things you never thought you could achieve.
Our favorite exercise is free weight training. The reason is that because aerobics take lots of time and you truly have to warm your body up for 15-30 minutes just to get into the fat burning state. Most people don't have the time or dedication for that. With weight training you really only need 3-5 minutes of stretching before starting out with light weights to get your muscles and tendons loose. Weight training also keeps your body burning fat long after you have finished. We recommend having a good Herbalife protein shake within 30 minutes of your weight training routine. If weight training isn't your cup of tea, no problem. Pick an exercise that you can commit to for at least 90 days. After 90 days, you've created a habit and it'll be hard for you to go back to life without exercising.
To lose weight quickly; exercise is a definite advantage. But, it's not always needed. Many people lose weight using one of the Herbalife weight loss programs without exercising. Exercise can help you to achieve much more than weight loss. First you'll be burning more calories and lose weight faster, you'll also help avoiding the common pitfalls that have you gaining the weight back and your overall health will improve. Things like circulation(getting nutrients and oxygen to your cells), vitality and even your sense of personal worth will improve. Exercise promotes the release of endorphins which make you feel happy and healthy. Try to add to the workload as you get used to your weight training or exercise routine by adding a little more resistance/weight and by increasing the duration of exercise every couple of weeks. Weight training helps promote muscle mass and boosts our metabolism. The more muscles we have, the more body fat we burn.
Try keeping a journal of everything that passes between your lips each day. Write down everything including what you drink. You'll be shocked to see the accumulation of empty calories and potentially harmful chemicals, food additives, preservatives, and even toxins like pesticides and herbicides you ingest regularly. Your bodies best defense against toxins is to store them in and surround them with fat cells. That's why some people go through a detoxification period when starting a weight loss program. Drink lots of water to cleanse them out of your system.
We know that not everyone will buy organic foods. But, we strongly recommend it. Organic farming is much better for our environment and especially our bodies. All Herbalife ingredients are grown organically. That means the farms we use are not allowed to spray their crops with toxins that makes the fruits and vegetables so toxic that bugs won't even eat them. Your food journal will bring attention to areas that you may not realize are hurting your weight loss progress. Things like diet soda, salt and especially sugars slow our metabolism and cause our bodies to store fat. Our bodies store fat simply because there are inadequacies in our diets. Our bodies tell us that we're not getting all the nourishment we need and therefore our body shuts down. It slows our metabolism and starts hoarding reserve fuels - fat. We need to know roughly how many calories we ingest daily in order to develop a plan or set a target for daily caloric intake. Only you'll know what you can realistically handle. Don't get too outrageous with your goals. It's not a sprint. You want lasting weight loss, not short-term fat reduction. Setting too high a goal will only frustrate you. Be reasonable and realistic in your plan. Be sure to include how much water you drink per day. Water is the river of life for our bodies. We're, after all, nearly 95% water. So, drink 8-10 glasses (12-16 ounces each) per day. Have a glass of water before each meal and especially while exercising.
Make your goal to Get Fit For Life. Don't assign a number to your weight loss. Losing weight isn't a one time deal that we do and over and over and over again. Make a lifelong commitment to health. Weight loss will automatically happen if you've got too much body fat.
We recommend that you find a reliable weight loss coach or partner to keep you on track. It's easy to get discouraged when you're making lots of changes in your life and there's no one to talk to about the things you'll be going through.
Remember take small steps in the beginning. You will adjust and things will get easier over time. You won't crave the things that caused you to become dissatisfied with your health in the beginning. Plan on having a new outlook on the way you treat your body. It's the only one you'll get, at least in this lifetime.
To your many successes!
