You need to have the right mentality to lose weight. It is a mental struggle rather than a physical fight. If you really wish to be successful, then you need to have patience and start to change your habits.
In this article, I have compiled 7 tips to help you lose weight fast:-
1. Take a balanced portion of healthy breakfast
For breakfast, eat sufficient healthy food. Here I am talking about a balanced portion of food. You are not advised to take a large portion of breakfast and then skipping meals for the rest of the day.
Morning is the best time to take healthy food as calories from this food can be easily burnt off throughout the day. Remember, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you are making a huge mistake if you choose to skip breakfast.
2. Do a short high intensity workout
It is normal that most people will do a low density workout for a long period of time. If you are running short on time, I will suggest mixing a high intensity into your normal workout. By doing that, you will be burning the same amount of calories like your normal long low intensity workout. As a matter of fact, you will be saving more time and achieving the same results. Below are suggestions of a normal workout which incorporate the high intensity workout:-
Start with walking leisurely for 2 minutes and then follow by running for 2 minutes. Next sit-ups for 15 times and then back to leisure walk for 2 minutes. Continue with 2 minutes of running with 15 lunges for each leg. Then again back to walking leisurely for 2 minutes follow by 2 minutes of intense running. This can be followed by 10 to 15 squarts and you can design your program around this idea. By doing this, you will get the result quicker and save more time.
3. Allow yourself to have one "indulgence day" on your favorite food
Always make sure that you have what I call as an "indulgence day" where you can have your favorite food without thinking whether it is healthy or bad food. Make good use of this day and have dinner with your friends or family at your favorite restaurant.
4. Do not weigh yourself all the time
I know you are tempted to weigh yourself all the time to see your progress. My advice is don't! Only weight your on weekly basis. By doing this, you will see a bigger weight reduction and this can be an important and motivational factor to keep you going.
5. Avoid high sugar food
Avoid taking food that is high in sugar as they normally contain fat. Examples of high sugar food are:-fact food, french fries, and soda drink. Totally avoid artificial sweetener as they contain lots of fat.
You are highly recommended to take healthy food such as cereal, bread, fruit juice and lots of different types of vegetables. You can selectively consume eggs and yogurt group. Remember the keyword is selectively, that means not taking them all the time.
6. Never eat before your sleep
You are advised not to consume any food minimum 3 hours before you go to sleep. If you break this rule, then your body's ability in processing this food will be greatly affected. When this happens, all the food you have consumed will be turned to fat. For your information, the normal process time when you consume food is in the region of 3 and 4 hours.
7. Get support from people surrounding you
It is best that you get moral support from your love ones, i.e. your family members, your partners or someone close to you. This will be good in your process of losing weight as you will always have someone who understands you and encourages you whenever you feel like giving up. That person must be able to cheer you on, assist to monitor your progress and see you to the end of the journey. When you have this moral support, then the chances of your weight loss success will be greatly improved.
