8 Important Weight Loss Tips and Guidelines

     Losing weight and staying slim is a life changing achievement and you will do it. You will no longer be ashamed of your body, so you can show it off on the beach without feeling self conscious. Combining a healthy nutrition and a good workout regimen can help you out in the best manner to lose 10 Lbs quickly.

Take one of the three meals a day, and make it healthier (veggies, fruits, whole grains, etc.). Combine this with drinking ONLY water when at work, and it抯 quite the effective method to lose a few pounds.

Incorporate A Weight Training Regime Into Your Workout. It's a fact, muscle burns fat. More muscle burns more fat. See how simple that is? Don't worry about looking like a body builder, I'm sure that most of us won't put in the needed time and energy to get "bulked up".

It is the biggest let-down known to man. The feeling of fullness and added energy is temporary and disappointing. The consumption of sugar leads to an insulin spike and a resulting energy low which leads to hunger and tiredness as soon as thirty minutes later. To lose weight, avoid eating sugar when hungry. Instead grab a "sweet" tasting substitute such as a piece of fruit with a low "glycemic load" such as an apple, grapes, a pear or some watermelon.

Eat nothing that you have not bought yourself, cooked yourself, and cleaned up after. This way laziness works in your favor. If you don抰 feel like going to the store, or if you have stuff but don抰 feel like cooking it or cleaning up afterwards, you are less likely to eat.

There are some foods which provide steady energy and are healthier for the body. The body uses a combination of carbohydrates, fat and protein for short, medium and long term energy sources.
