To Lose Weight, Do These 2 Things

By Melissa Moore

Are you serious about weight loss? And I mean, healthy and permanent weight loss. If so, have you set realistic goals? Instead of having a concrete, specific goal to strive for, most people just want to lose weight very quickly. Quickly is not a specific goal and it is important to remember that in order to lose weight in a healthy manner, it takes time.

Quick weight loss people get attracted to fad diets and weight loss pills that promise outrageous results. A few pounds will be lost with these diets, but that is not fat loss. You will typically lose more water and muscles than fat with most of the fad diets. This is an unhealthy way of losing weight! Not to mention, such weight loss will not last. You will regain the weight as it is close to impossible to stay on fad diets for the rest of you life.

Don't aim to have a body like Jessica Alba or Victoria Beckham; remember that they have doctors, chefs, trainers and the money to help them.

You will only get frustrated and be disappointed if you strive to be like them. Just aim your specific goals at becoming healthy. Lose enough weight so that you can weigh in at your ideal body weight! You won't need diet pills or starvation tactics to achieve that. All you need to do is to eat right and exercise regularly.

Focus on healthy eating and just forget about the word 'dieting! You can begin by taking baby steps. Quench your thirst without getting fatter by drinking water instead of soda. Some people think that it is okay as long as they reach for the diet brand of soft drinks. You can be more wrong. They not only taste bad, but being deprived of fructose, they make you crave for sugar.

You should consume whole grain wheat instead of white flour. Whole grain wheat contains little fat. Also, it is rich in protein and fiber which will help you to lose weight.

For exercises, I highly recommend weight training. Contrary to what women think, not only is this exercise not just for men, it also won't take away the femininity of women. Weight training is very effective and is one of the quickest exercise methods for quick weight loss.

If you are a woman, do not be concerned about becoming huge like a body builder. For the most part, if one wants to build huge muscles like that, then testosterone is pretty important and women don't have that. Besides, bodybuilders aren't able to build muscles just by doing exercises. They also use protein shakes, supplements and steroids to acquire the muscular body.

There are many other benefits of exercises than just weight loss. Exercises will make you more energetic; you get this extra energy by burning your fat deposits. Apart from that, you will also be able to sleep more soundly.

Exercises also help in improving the tone and appearance of skin, something which most women would kill for! Another way you can benefit from exercises is that they help you build strong lean muscles and improve your immune system. - 17273
