Try These Easy Weight Loss Tips

Whether you have a little or a lot of weight to lose, it can
seem daunting. Nowadays, we are inundated with stories of people
who lose weight and gain it back again, or who find it difficult
to lose weight at all. Over time, it’s easy to become convinced
that weight loss just isn’t going to happen for you, or that it
will require a total change of lifestyle. This just isn’t true,
as these easy weight loss tips will prove.

Weight loss tip #1: Keeping in mind that society is geared
toward large portion size and getting more for your money,
simply divide all the portions you’ve been eating (especially
those you eat out) in half. See how it feels to just eat half a
restaurant meal, then stop. Have the rest packed up for lunch
the next day. Chances are, you won’t be hungry after eating half
the meal, but if you are, eat another quarter. Then have the
rest packed up. You’re not depriving yourself – a generation
ago, the half- or three-quarter meal you end up eating is more
or less the same amount of food as a full meal you would have
been served a generation ago. Even cookies and muffins that you
buy to go have been supersized – again, eat half.

Weight loss tip #2: Walk as much as possible. Get in the habit.
It’s great to go to the gym and work out, but in its own way,
‘built-in’ exercise is even better. It requires no special
equipment, you don’t have to schedule time for it – you just do
it as a matter of course. Remember, until cars became
commonplace, walking is how most people got around most of the
time. In many European cities, they still do. And people who do
this are seldom overweight – go figure!

Weight loss tip #3: Eat real food. In other words, avoid boxes
and cans, and eat things that are in their natural form – or as
close to it as possible. In the supermarket, shop around the
edges – the meat and produce – and avoid the inside aisles.
Preparing ‘real’ food might be a bit more work, but it’s very
rewarding, and much healthier.

These are not very ‘high powered’ weight loss tips – you won’t
lose a pound a day, or whatever the leading programs claim.
These are healthy, enjoyable changes that are meant to last a
lifetime – and over time, you will lose weight. What’s more,
your weight loss will be gradual and safe, and you’ll keep the
weight off permanently.
