Weight Loss Tricks - What Fitness Program To Follow

Being overweight places an individual at greater levels of health risk than those of normal weight. Pair this fact with the work structure we are all following now a days and you can see that left unattended, this health problem will only get worse. Many people seem to think they can't possibly make the time for losing weight. Others seem to regard it as a huge task, one worthy of none less than Hercules. Good news to all of you, it's entirely possible and you needn't do anything drastic or scary.

For healthy sustainable weight loss you have to focus on making lifestyle changes. If you try to go for the fad diets, that make you fast for a number of days and then put you back on your old routine with no further instructions, you may experience fat loss, but it won't be sustainable. Lifestyle changes give an all time, all season in built programming so you never make the wrong decisions about your diet or health. Here's how to build in healthy habits into your life;

1. Cut the junk food and sodas: junk food is loaded with calories and refined carbohydrates. It adds ruthlessly to your waist line. Also, junk foods aggravate blood pressure and raise cholesterol levels. The nutritional value of junk food is...well...junk! That's how it got the name. Sodas and soft drinks don't help either. They actually dehydrate your body and raise the acidity level of blood. When you're thirsty, go for pure water or fresh fruit juices.



2. Eat home-made lunches: home-made lunches are healthier and lighter on the pocket too. Make a little time for yourself and prepare your lunch. Home-made lunches are more fulfilling too and they will help walk gracefully past the vending machine.

3. Drink more water: water is a natural appetite suppressant and will help you lose weight. Drinking water throughout the day keeps your body from getting dehydrated. Water retention, which is the body's defense against dehydration, leads to increase in weight. When you keep yourself well hydrated your body stops retaining water. Also, since water is 90% of blood, the more water you drink, the greater ease is built for the assimilation of food and proper blood circulation. It helps speed up the metabolism as well.

4. Walk: whenever you can, walk. Whether it's to the grocery store or the Laundromat, walking will help speed up your metabolism, burn calories, build stamina and improve heart and lung strength.

5. Drink green tea: green tea is a great fat burner. The Chinese have used it for hundreds of years for help in reducing excess body fat. Go for freshly brewed green tea rather than the supplemental pills because the supplements generally concentrate on either caffeine or ECGG. But diet experts are all of the opinion that the effects that green tea has for aiding weight loss are due to the combined effect of the compounds present in green tea.

6. Eat fish: fish contains pure lean protein. Take the varieties rich in Omega-3, these are tuna, mackerel, cod, and salmon. It's great for your immune system and doesn't contain as many calories as red meat.
