Effective Weight Loss- the Commonsense Guide to Losing Weight

It’s not hard to understand that if you raise the amount of
calories you burn and watch what you eat (both the food and the
portions), you’ll eventually start losing weight. Don’t make it
more complicated than this.

Exercise. You have to. Do cardio and this doesn’t mean you HAVE
to run. There are plenty of cardio exercises that will give you
results and this includes walking at a good pace. And add weight
training to the mix because the muscles you’ll build will help
you burn more calories.

Watch what you eat. You have to. Nutrition is where it’s at and
until you realize this, it’s going to constantly be an uphill
battle. If you feel guilty eating something, then don’t eat it.
Use your head because it’s not that hard. Avoid the foods that
you know you should avoid and watch how much sugar you take in.
But have one day that you eat whatever you want because
otherwise you’ll go crazy.

There are also supplements you can take like CLA, Green Tea
extract and thermogenic products. Supplements aren’t the magic
solution but adding them to a program that contains exercise and
good nutrition can be very effective.

A leading health magazine I read also recommends:

1. Drink protein shakes throughout the day (yes, females too)
because it will help prevent overeating. Plus, protein is
important. Two shakes is good. 2. Get 7-9 hours of sleep to keep
your body in top condition. 3. Add whole grains to your diet,
like oatmeal and brown rice, because of the fiber they provide.

Lastly, you’ll notice that once you start to lose weight, your
motivation will sky rocket. Take this motivation and run with
it! The same goes for your will power- as you continue to watch
what you eat, you’ll start to notice that the bad foods don’t
look so good anymore. You can do it!
