HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE YOUR SELF-ESTEEM

By Christophe RibosPublished 4 years ago 4 min read

In today's life obesity is one of the biggest problems and it's hard to find a durable solution or it's difficult to perceive in that way.

Being out of shape can be detrimental to our health in all parts of life; here are some of the reasons based on experience and research why being in shape is not just about the body but also about our health:

1- lower your bad cholesterol (LDL)

2- Get more restful sleep

3- boosts your self-esteem

4- boosts your mood

5- protects you from some malignancies

6- Increase sex drive, etc...

Achieving weight loss is not that easy. It needs a good strategy, planning and motivation to lose weight. Some of the weight loss tips, which can be followed at ease, are listed here to stay healthy as well as to stay fit with a perfect body figure.

1-Eating the right way helps achieving weight loss goals. Taking meals in smaller amounts, frequently helps in being energetic all the day and prevents from eating more.

2-Eating out is often associated with obesity as when dining outside, most of the people don’t check what they eat. Hence, to achieve weight loss, it is better to avoid dining outside, and avoid junk food in general There's one trick you can use here :Generally our body doesn't really need food it's just a desire so before you eat a junk food ask yourself I'm I really hungry or it's just a desire and even if you're hungry ask yourself will it benefit my body and health

3-Sugar calls for sugar:

This is a familiar citation that is really true

Because our main body energy source is sugar so when we don't for 2 to 3 hours our body need energy and it is hard for it to change the source of energy instead of switching to fat energy our body requests sugar so it is at this time that we have to challenge ourselves a little bit. Also a high glycemic index food will increase the secretion of insulin which will stock sugar and switch it to fat cells and you'll feel hungry very often

4-It is good to stay away from beverages rich in fat and sugar as they will increase the insulin levels in the blood, while caffeine content can lead to dehydration.

5-Fasting

It can be hard at the beginning but it is very very effective as I said when you don't eat for 8 to 16 hours ( you can ask your specialist for more) your body will switch it's energy source to fat energy

6-Diet strategy can be planned in such a way that, without having to cut the favorite foods, they can be consumed in smaller portions along with healthy fresh vegetables or fruits to get a filled up feeling. By this way, the nutritional value of the food consumed is increased and fat rich foods are minimized.

7-Mindset

Everything is about your mind, if you're ready to do a thing then nobody will stop you. But if you're not try to convince yourself that you have to sacrifice some things to get much better things

8-Protein healthy fats and fiber

Increased consumption of protein helps in burning the calories and avoids the storage of fat in the body. Protein supplements also help in building and preserving lean muscles. Protein are very effective to build lean muscle and also to not losing it, il will also reduce your appetite

Healthy Fats are very essential for our body especially the omega 3 and 6 nuts almonds fish avocados coconut oil contains healthy fats, fiber are also very effective for weight loss, it gives us the feeling of satiety because it will take a large space in our stomach so you will feel full

Green vegetables are rich in fiber

9-Water plays an important role in weight loss as water hydrates the organs and the body. It suppresses hunger pangs, and can be taken in more amounts to get a filled up feeling. Try to do this calculating trick to see how many liters you need in a day

10-Plan how you want your diet plan to be, adhere to it strictly and it is advised to keep a log for noting down what you eat and the amounts you eat with the weight measurement every week to analyze if you are progressing or not. Stay motivated while going through weight loss measures to attain success.

11-Weight loss and stress

If weight is lost the healthy way, it benefits the person with a lower blood pressure, being able to be energetic in spite of controlled intake, healthy heart and organs, better body figure, less stress made on the bones, joints and muscles, and the most important of all stress free. It's not an option but a necessity

Chronic stress can lead to "comfort eating," which often entails devouring meals heavy in fat, sugar, and calories, which can lead to weight gain, according to some research.

And it favors the secretion of the cortisol and this hormone lead to overeating in general

12-Sleep

A study has shown that your performances will increase if you have enough sleep at night

Try to sleep from 6 to 9 hours

13-Move

Try to move as often as you can simple exercise like walking are very effective for your body and health

It will also bring positive energy to your mind
