Weight Loss Tips

Weight Loss.... To lose weight, get ur resting metabolism rate done(weight loss centers do this). This determines the total number of calories you need to lose 1-2lbs/week. Decreasing 500cal/day will give you a 1lb wt loss in 1wk; Drink water (1/2 your body weight), eat small meals about 150-200cal 2-4x/(depending on your metabolism rate) and 500cal/meal at night: lean protein/veggies; avoid carbs.
Favorite meals while losing weight.....Lean Protein,Raw Veg and low sugar fruits such as berries, grapefruit and melons. Eating over 51% raw veggies, eating dinner early and exercising regularly are all ways to lose weight fast, healthy and keep it off.

Tips for losing weight...food journal ....Keep track of what you put in your mouth with a food journal and begin to eliminate foods with added sugars and fats. Cut back your food intake while increasing your exercise levels - shoot for 30min/day. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Drink water before meals. Don't skip meals, choose lean proteins and healthy carbs.
Diet and exercise ..The best approach to weight loss is diet and exercise. The rule of thumb is to consume less calories than you actually need. This will vary depending on your height/weight, build, and activity level. On average, I've seen 1500 calories per day recommended. Any less, and you are doing yourself harm. Exercise about 90 min per day.
You should not go on any type of crash diet. They can be dangerous and you will likely gain the weight back just as quickly. The best way to lose weight is slowly and steadily. Decrease junk food, control your portions, eat more slowly and don't eat when you aren't hungry. Start exercising- work into it gradually and build up. Start with a goal of 1 hour per day at least 3 days per week.
Unintentional weight loss (meaning weight loss without dieting or increasing activity levels) can be a sign of potentially serious underlying medical conditions. You should schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss this.
Creating a routine and sticking to it can be very beneficial for weight loss. Select a healthy grain for your bread, choose natural peanut butter and measure how much you use, select lower sugar jellies and measure those as well. Keep a food journal with calories, fat, carbs, proteins: this meal provides healthy grain and fats. Add veggies, fruits and proteins into your day for balance.
Uncontrolled weight loss could be a sign of metabolic problems (thyroid) or something more serious. Please see your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
If someone's thyroid levels are normal, (and they're not taking thyroid medication), their thyroid is working and they'll need to look elsewhere (usually diet & exercise) for ways to lose weight. Similarly, if labs are normal in someone who is taking thyroid medicine, the weight problems are not related to the thyroid condition, so it's back to diet and exercise.
Which is healthiest diet....A diet is the healthiest diet..which is basically a diet low in refined carbohydrates and processed foods; a diet high in fresh vegetables, some fruits and lean protein. You still have to pay attention to total caloric intake because although you want to take in "good calories", too many calories can cause weight gain. You also have to get moving! Even just walking every day will help.

Recommend for losing weight...Small steps.....Significant weight loss starts with small weight loss. Set smaller, 5 lb goals and achieve many of these through daily cardiovascular exercise. This is as easy as a 30-40 minute walk daily. Be persistent and you will succeed.
Stressing over losing weight......Stressing over losing weight probably wont help you accomplish your goals. It might help to have professional help to monitor you. I wouldn't weigh myself everyday....aiming for 5-7 fruits and fresh vegetables a day- not fired, or with oil, is a good way to start your journey.
Maintain energy levels while losing weight....Exercise..Exercise has a double benefit. While initially you may feel tired after exercise, building it into your regular routine will both help you burn more energy and lose weight but will also build your endurance and stamina giving you more energy. Losing weight should include eating healthy foods that are vita rich so your body has the nutrients it needs. Consider daily vitamins & stay hydrated..
Drink two glasses of water before sitting down for dinner.
