8 Best Weight Loss Tips

As I said in the summary, 63,1% of Americans are either overweight or obese. Truly horrifying numbers, wouldn't you agree? I'm glad you're one of the clever ones, who has decided to take action! To decrease fat and maintain healthy weight, few dietary changes have to be followed strictly as well as increase physical activity. Here are some tips for natural weight loss:

1. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - but yet so many of you choose to skip it all together. When you skip the meal you are likely to grab snacks to accommodate throughout the day. Many of these snacks may be unprocessed or refined carbohydrates or in simple terms filled with sugar. Which will give you a short boost but eventually have you crashing down again. Starting your day with a good balanced breakfast will reduce hunger and help you get through the rest of your day.

2. Hamburgers and pizzas seems to be the favorite snack among teens and adults alike. However these food items are full of unhealthy fats and so should be avoided in order to lose weight naturally and fast. Fried foods such as french fries, fried chicken, donuts as well as sugary foods like pastries and cakes, only add unhealthy trans-fats to the body. This eventually leads to weight gain.

3. Don't eat bags of stuff like cookies or chips when you watching TV. You will become so engrossed that you just keep putting more and more in your mouth, and by the time the show is over you ate the whole bag. Switch from whole milk to skim milk. Skim milk gives you all the nutrients of whole milk, but cut down to low fat(1%).

4. I'm not asking you to become super-human here, I want you to lead a full life. To most, this means some degree of sugar and unhealthy fats. This is okay! The key here is to separate the occasions. The best thing is to have, say, one day a week where you're allowed to eat pizza for dinner and popcorn as a snack, while you try to eat healthy the rest of the week.

5. If you are snacking and think it’s just a little nibble or just a cracker then you are likely adding hundreds of calories a day without realizing. Keep track of it all to avoid those expensive cracker and cheese like snacks that may appear to be healthy and really add calories. Also those donuts, cookies and nuts can add up too.

6. Many a times, unhealthy eating habits (over eating) is primarily responsible for gaining weight. So, firstly one has to curb these food cravings, which is possible through fiber rich diet. Basically, fiber interferes with normal digestion rate and makes it significantly slower. Slowed digestion helps to minimize hunger pangs considerably, which in turn can prevent the person from over eating. Incorporating high fiber diet involves eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and reducing intake of poultry products.

7. Alfredo is cream-based sauce loaded with fat, use a tomato-based one for lower fat and calories. Stop buying on impulse. Never shop for groceries without a list. (When you do you are far more likely to grab the wrong foods for you.)

8. Don't give me any "But it's so boring!" now! Exercise can be fun and, more importantly, the results are definitely fun! When I started working out, I was so weak, it was pathetic. After a couple of months, I started noticing that I was getting stronger - my arms became more bulging and muscle-y, the heavy grocery bags were suddenly not so heavy anymore, and so forth. This was when I became a gym freak, and decided to start helping others feel like I did!
