Weight Loss Tips to see FAST Results

Weight Loss Tip 1

Set achievable weight loss goals.  If you’ve got a lot of weight to lose set smaller goals along the way, such as seeing a reduction in your blood pressure, or buying just one new item of clothing when you’re part way to your goal weight.

Weight Loss Tip 2

Aim to lose weight slowly.  If you're losing more than a kilo a week, you’re probably losing water and muscle, not fat.

Weight Loss Tip 3

Focus on where you can cut fat from your diet.  Do you spread too much on your bread; eat lots of fried snacks; or don't cut the fat off your meat? Small changes are easier to stick to.

Weight Loss Tip 4

Try for a healthier lifestyle.  Eating lots of fruit and vegetables and taking regular exercise, rather than punishing yourself with a strict diet.

Weight Loss Tip 5

Try drinking a glass of water before a meal.  If you tend to overeat at meal times, try drinking a medium to large glass of water 10 to 15 minutes before you sit down to that meal.

Weight Loss Tip 6

Don’t aim for unachievable body-shape goals.  Pear-shaped people who lose weight usually become smaller pears. A supermodel’s body hides inside very few people, no matter how much weight they lose.

Weight Loss Tip 7

Try to listen to your body.  Are you really hungry or just bored or depressed? Maybe you can do something enjoyable rather than eat — or just get more active round the house or garden to divert your attention to something else.

Weight Loss Tip 8

Exercising is the most important thing you can do.  Find time for yourself each day to be become more active.

Weight Loss Tip 9

Learn to understand the food labels.  Hidden fats and sugars may be hiding in your favourite foods.

Weight Loss Tip 10

Don’t be taken in by fast-talking sales pitches, secret ingredients or wonder foods. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Weight Loss Tip 11

Go for a  ½ hour walk instead of watching TV.

Some people believe that watching TV is a great way to wind-down after a hard day and doing exercise is often the last thing on their minds, but going for a half-hour walk instead of plonking down in front of the TV can help you de-stress, clear your mind and set you up for a relaxing evening and a great night's sleep.

Weight Loss Tip 12

Park your car further away from the shops or office and walk.  Increasing the amount of incidental exercise we do each day is one of the secrets to successful weight loss.

By parking further away from the shops or the office than you normally would, you'll force yourself to increase the number of steps you take in a day which will help burn off extra calories and help improve your fitness.

Weight Loss Tip 13

Eat Meals On Smaller Plates. Getting used to eating smaller portions is often more important that getting used to eating healthier foods when it comes to weight loss.

Two simple ways to reduce our portion sizes are to leave some of the food on our plates uneaten or to eat everything on a smaller plate.  Because some of us can't stand leaving food on our plate the best option is usually the smaller plate.

Weight Loss Tip 14

Keep believing in yourself.  You are in control and have the power to make changes in your life.

Weight Loss Tip 15

Put your fork or food down between bites.  Eating slower will give your body time to digest the food properly and recognize when your stomach is full.
