Kathleen Goodwin, RD discusses the 10 Tips on What Works & Why for a successful Weight Loss:
- Exercise - this is probably the most important activity that any weight-loss-wanting person should engaged with.
- Pump iron - weight loss is still attached to weight lifting. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn.
- Keep a diary - record daily what you have eaten. Track what you eat. This way you will be aware of what you have eaten if it is bad for your end goal or not. Bad should be avoided later on..
- Stay focused on being healthy, not on becoming thin - being thin does not equate to being healthy!
- Find out what's eating you - address your behavioral issues. Exercising alone will not help you if your lifestyle or emotions keeps you from making choices that is bad for your goal.
- Get support - look for a crowd that will constantly provide you with encouragement. Get a local support system where you can share daily experiences related to your goal.
- Watch your portions - watch how much you eat. Eating less and watching how much portion will make sure that you can eat what you like responsibly.
- Lose weight slowly with small changes - gradual changes is most important than overnight weight loss. Our body cannot handle sudden changes in its system. Sudden changes in weight can kill!
- Slow down - eat slowly. Your brains takes 20 minutes before it stats singnaling "You are full". Faster eater usually eats past the limit. It will be very late for their brain to signal. So eat slowly.
- Eat less fat, but do it wisely - eat less fat but don't replace it with fat-free products. Fat-free products contains calories. Too much calories exceeding what your body needs can make you gain more weight.
