Effective ways to lose weight

By Mohammed BakkarPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

When it comes to dieting you will find all kinds of crazy and faddish diets on the market

today. In addition to the many diets, there seems to be every kind of diet aid you can

imagine. From shakes, the diet industry has evolved to include everything from candy bars

and pudding to pills and patches. Each item makes the claim that it can help you drop those

unwanted pounds quickly and easily. Well, I can tell you for a fact there is very little easy for

most of us about dropping a few pounds.

If you would like a few tips that should make your weight loss goals a little easier to achieve

then perhaps the following tips will help you.

Drink Plenty of Water

There really isn’t enough that can be said about the importance of drinking water in an effort

to reach your fitness goals. Water hydrates the body first and foremost but water is also an

important way of tricking your body into believing it is full. Other drinks do not work nearly as

well as water in this endeavor and many drinks, even fruit juices, contain empty calories that

you can ill afford when dieting.

Another great thing about drinking a lot of water while dieting is that it helps your skin retain

its elasticity so you can avoid some of the ‘loose skin’ looks that often accompanies massive

weight loss. As an added bonus drinking plenty of water will have your skin looking radiant

and beautiful as well.

Set Goals

Having goals is one of the most important things you can do when working to lose weight.

Try to make sure that your goals are aggressive but can be achieved. If you are frustrated

early in the dieting process by unrealistic goals you are much more likely to give up.

However, challenges will always inspire us to achieve greater things in life. If you can find a

‘weight loss partner’ in order to have a little friendly competition for the weight loss totals for

a week or a month then you are going to be far more likely to accomplish your goals than if

you keep them quietly to yourself.

Eat More

Did you read that twice? Yes, eat more healthy foods that are high in fiber. Eat more

vegetables and fruits-fill up on these foods that are good for you and you will not be inclined

to binge on calorie-laden junk food.

Move!

While this seems a little too simply stated for most, getting up and moving is one of, if not the

best, way to burn calories. The simple truth is that you are not going to lose weight unless

you use more calories than you consume. The more activities you enjoy that burn calorie,

the more likely you are to shed those unwanted pounds and meet your weight loss goals.

Some great activities that actually burn calories include the following: gardening, golf,

dancing, playing volleyball, walking, jumping rope, playing hopscotch with your little ones,

and playing tennis. I mention these activities because you can trick yourself into believing

that you aren’t really exercising while burning calories. Even cleaning the house requires

movement and energy and if you dance around a little to some good music in the process

you might burn a few extra calories.

Dieting, when successful can help restore self-image and self-esteem in people who are

otherwise beautiful people inside and out. The steps above are not the only things that are

involved in the dieting process but they can help you reach your weight loss goals,

particularly when combined with a diet plan that you feel confident you can follow. Be sure

that on those days when willpower is non-existent that you do not derail your diet efforts

altogether by giving up. The most important thing you can do when dieting is to go back to

dieting once you’ve strayed
