It is quite amazing there are so many people in our country looking to lose weight. The majority of people are trying everything that is possible from the latest and greatest fad diet and performing countless situps and other exercises and still they are still overweight and cannot seem to reach their weight loss goals. Sadly, it seems that only a few people are actually able to lose weight and develop the type of body that they are proud of. Because of this the majority of people give up in their hopes of achieving their desired body weight. In this article I am going to give you a few weight loss tips that will enable you to easily get rid of your excess body weight and become fit and healthy.
We have to first start by accepting the fact that you can exercise two hours a day and still not lose weight if you do not follow a sound nutritional diet program. An ideal weight loss eating program should consist of foods that are sources of lean quality protein and vegetables. You also want to make sure that you do not eat more calories during the course of a day than what it takes to maintain your normal body functions and systems.
It seems that many of us do not realize that starvation diets just simply do not work. You see if you go on a very low calorie diet also known as a starvation diet you will not only lose fat but you will also lose good quality muscle tissue. The other problem is that as soon as you started eating normal’ your body will gain back all the weight that you have lost plus an additional 10 to 30 pounds.
The next recommendation is very simple but for some reason it is neglected by the majority of people. Your body needs to be hydrated. This means that your body needs water. You should try to drink at least 64 ounces of water each and every day. Literature that I have recently read suggests that you should drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. This means that if you weigh 150 pounds that you should drink 75 ounces of water every day. So taking this into consideration again I would suggest that you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water every day.
Another tip for losing weight would be to consult a medical weight loss specialist. Medical weight loss specialist are located in almost every city and county. Medically supervised weight loss programs are very effective because the medical doctors there can prescribe you appetite suppressant medications that have been clinically proven to reduce your appetite, hunger and cravings. You should also then be instructed in a nutritional food program as well as a diet and exercise program.
Lots of people have taken over the counter weight loss supplements but in my personal experience they do not work as well as the medication that is prescribed by a medical weight loss specialist.
My final tip is to keep a daily record in a diary or journal where you would write down everything that you have eaten throughout the day. You should also write down the type of exercises you have done during that day. It is also good practice to write down the events of that particular day; if they were exceptionally stressful or if it was a beautiful and enjoyable day.
