1. Seven Tips To Help You Lose Weight
Weight loss is something many people dream about. However, not many people know exactly what
they need to do to lose weight. Below are seven tips that will get you on your way to losing weight
and looking amazing.
Make sure you're not starving yourself. Contrary to popular belief, starving yourself is not an effective
way to lose weight. When you get below a certain calorie threshold, your body assumes you're in a
situation with a lack of food. Thus, instead of burning off fat, it'll start burning off muscle instead.
Muscle needs more calories to maintain itself so if your body detects you're not taking in enough
calories, it'll get rid of that valuable muscle first.
Make sure your weight loss plan is realistic. Don't set out to lose 100 pounds in a month. Outside of
surgery, there's no safe or realistic way to lose that much weight that quickly. You're only setting
yourself up for disappointment. Instead, set a weight loss goal that's obtainable. This way you'll have
a much better chance of succeeding.
Try setting up a weight loss routine with a buddy. This can give you a great source of motivation. Not
only will you have someone to cheer you on and give you a little boost now and then, but you'll also
be able to have a little bit of friendly competition. It's been shown that people try a lot harder on things
when they're competing against others.
Give yourself a treat every once in a while. Write up a list of smaller goals that you want to obtain on
your way to your long term goal. Every time you reach one of these goals, give yourself a reward.
Your reward can be anything. It can be a chance to eat out one night or it can be a trip to the spa.
Whatever works best to motivate you.
Don't just stick to dieting. You also need to set up an exercise routine if you want to have an effective
weight loss plan. Exercise and a proper diet combined have been proven time and time again to be
the best way to lose weight. Not only will you be taking in less calories from your diet, but exercise will
help you burn off more calories and help you build up and tone your muscle.

2. Don't ever combine weight loss diets. If you try to combine diets you run the risk of causing serious
harm to your body. Your body needs a certain amount of food as well as vitamins and nutrients to run
properly. If you combine diets you risk starving yourself of those vital pieces. At best you'll end up
failing your goals. At worse you risk making yourself sick.
Don't rely on a scale to judge your progress. You can easily burn off fat and putting on muscle at the
same time. Muscle is denser than fat, so you will go up in weight while getting slimmer from losing fat.
Instead, make sure you're taking measurements. This will help you get a much clearer picture of how
your goals are coming along.
Keep all of these things in mind when you're planning your weight loss goals. If you stick to these
pieces of advice, you shouldn't have any trouble meeting your goals. Just make sure you stay positive
and keep working hard!
