Weight Loss Success

Step 1: Make a commitment

Making a commitment to weight loss in the very beginning is utmost important. Don’t start a weight loss regime half-heartedly. If you do, you will come up short. Treat this like a job. Make it a priority.

Step 2: Keep a Weight Loss Journal

Prove your commitment by creating a weight loss journal. Write down your diet and exercise goals and review them daily. Make a list in your journal of all the things you will hold yourself to. Everyday turn a page and re-write the same thing. Cross things off as you accomplish them.

Step 3: Move your Body

Begin walking 20-30 minutes in the morning, afternoon, or evening. The best time is the time you can fit it in. Be consistent. Same time every day, if possible.

Step 4: Drink Water

Increase your daily water consumption to 10-12 cups. More water means less bloating and better internal organ function. A side note: decrease the sugary sodas. Increasing your water can help you lose 5 pounds the very first week.

Step 5: Prepare a Diet Plan

Eat four meals a day. The first meal coming within 40 minutes of waking. The last meal coming 2 hours or more before bedtime. You never want to eat right before bed. Do this and you will feel your waistline loosen very quickly. Remember Steam instead of grill, grill instead of roast, roast instead of fry and shallow fry instead of deep-fry.

Step 6: Give into cravings occasionally

If you deprive yourself endlessly, you’ll end up going on a binge at some point. Consider adding a treat to your daily or weekly plan but lighten up the following day.

Step 7: Clean out Your Refrigerator

Toss all those fat laden sweets and fried stuff that might prove too tempting when you’re tired or hungry. Fill it with veggies and salads so that everytime. divide large bags of snacks into single-portion baggies or buy prepackaged 100-calorie options.

Step 8: Keep yourself Motivated

Understand the difference between weight loss success and weight loss failure is smaller than you realize. You only need to make small adjustments to reap huge results. Don’t go out and try to change the world. If you do, you may just wind up burnt out and with even more anxiety.

Step 9: Take a long-term perspective

The best way to lose 20 pounds is to begin where you are with these 7 steps, but to realize this isn’t just a commitment for now. If you want to keep the weight off, then repeat these steps time and time again.

Step 10: Start an Exercise Plan

A weight training circuit would be the best thing. 30 minutes to an hour of weight training, and then another 30 minutes of a cardio workout will help you lose the fat and gain muscle.
