I Need to Lose Weight

How many times have you looked in the mirror and said to yourself, "I need to lose weight?" Is this a trick question? Seriously, how many minutes are there in a day? That's probably how many times you have said these words to yourself just yesterday as a matter of fact.

Those little words, "I need to lose weight" can bring on a stress level and intimidation that is hard to get around and hard to understand. We all know for a fact that if we want to lose weight we have to make some serious changes to or lifestyle.

We all know that to lose the weight we need to lose will take some hard work on our parts and we are not sure we can sustain that level of commitment for the long haul. There are supplements that can help you along this battle called saffron extract and green coffee bean extracts. I have been taking both of these supplements and they have worked very well for me. The saffron extract actually helps my mood and helps me to relax more. The green coffee bean extract has caffeine and this helps with energy, light exercise and maintaining motivation.

What we do not realize is that with just a few little supplements, we can change our lives and our weight with very little effort.

Additionally, if you follow a few simple suggestions and guidelines then you will be on your way to having a new body to show off to all of your friends and family.

The first thing is to eat sensibly. Go to your kitchen right now and throw out all the junk food.

This may be the hardest thing you have done in a long time but it needs to be done. Ok, I will let you save one item for your first weeks reward. Pick one and put it away.

Next, when you go shopping make a list beforehand and stick to it. Start by buying fresh foods, fruits, and vegetables. Or go to a local farmer's market on Saturday morning to get some really fresh stuff from local growers. You might have to spend a little more but the quality is well worth it.

If you really do not know where to start find a cookbook and choose several recipes that you think may be good and good for you. Make your fresh food list from the recipes. Buy only what you need for the recipes, if you want to be successful then make sure you have all the ingredients you need for the dish you want to make. I find that nothing is more frustrating than starting to make something and then finding out that I don't have all the ingredients.

Most importantly here, drink plenty of water. Try this, put a cup (or more to taste) of fresh or frozen berries into a gallon jug and fill it with water. Let the berries infuse their juices for a couple of hours and then strain the berries off through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to catch the pulp and seeds. This will help with the mundaneness of water and add some vitamins and minerals, too. If you feel the need to sweeten it then do so with an artificial sweetener to keep the calorie count down.

Following these suggestions will change your statement from, "I need to lose weight" to "I need to go buy some new, smaller clothes".
