Do- Have lots of fruit and vegHave 3 servings a day of wholegrain carbs to keep your energy upHave 3 servings of lean protein for organ repair.Drink lots of water to stop yu feeling hungryDont have many crisps, cake, chocolate, soda or biscuitsDon t cut out carbs as this is dangerous and means you ll gain the weight straight backDon t panic if you give in to temptation.

Lift weights. alot of girls think that lifting weights will make them muscly. this is not true. women lack the natural chemicals in the body to become huge and muscly. Lifting weights boosts your metabolism for about 6 times longer than cardio workout. which means your burning fat for longer. Remember, You didnt become this big over night and you wont lose it over night either. stick with it and dont be discouraged.

Weight loss tips.I am a personal trainer who has been teaching people about nutrition and weight management through my training sessions and have decided to share some basic weight loss tip with those who are struggling or finding their diet boring.1. You must have breakfast. This meal is the single most important meal of the day. It breaks the fast that your body has been on for the last 6-9 hours you ve been sleeping. People who eat breakfast have also shown that they manage their weight better.2. Drink plenty of water! Drink 1-2 litres a day at first then work up to 2-3 litres a day after a week or two. Your body will get used to drinking this amount after a while and the frequent trips to the toilet will lessen in time.3. Eat regularly! You should manage your eating pattern and strive to eat every 3 hours. This helps your body to fight off cravings, gives your body a smoother energy level throughout the day, will help you eat less at meal times and will keep your hunger at bay.4. Aim to have 5 meals a day. Breakfast, small snack mid morning, Lunch, small snack mid afternoon, evening meal no later then 19.00 if possible.5. Get some exercise! Eating healthily will make you lose weight but you will lose more and feel better by doing some exercise. The benefits of exercising are too numerous for this article but believe me when I say that 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, just for starters, will work wonders for your body.6. Get enough sleep! This one is a must when exercising. The body grows and repairs during sleep but also adapts to changes in eating habits too. Your metabolism re-adjusts to the new nutritional intake you are feeding it and over time becomes accustomed to it and adapts accordingly. 8 hours a night is the norm.7. Watch your carbohydrates! Fat is the bad guy in most cultures but it s the carbohydrates that most people need to watch. Carbs give us energy and if we eat to much carbs it gets turned into fat if we don t burn them off. The body slows down during the late afternoon and evening so eating tons of potatoes, rice, pasta or pastry type products at this time is not really a good idea.8. Keep a food diary if you have time. This will help you look back at what worked, what foods you ate, what weight you were when you started and is useful for learning where to go next with you weight goals.9. Don t calorie count. You don t need to! It takes too long and can get frustrating! Just go by portion size. Don t allow one food to touch another on the plate and this should be ideal. You will already be in calorie deficit but drinking water between your meals will help keep hunger under control.10. Enjoy the various healthy foods available. Don t be afraid to use recipes and fresh ideas when cooking. Allow a cheat meal after the first 6-8 weeks of your new healthy nutrition regime. As long as it s gradual and once in a while (no more than twice a week) you ll continue to lose weight and also notice a difference in your body when eating non healthy food.11.Try Yoga best for weight loss12.Put your image in mind smart

Women had always been conscious of their weight. The trend for some had been to look pencil-thin to be called beautiful. Still, there are some women who prefer to look ��healthier��, meaning, not being too skinny, balancing their weight with their actual height.Some women who wanted immediate results on their dieting scheme tend to crash-diet, meaning they deprive themselves the needed food by their bodies.For those who starve themselves, they usually are the ones who are most prone to binging, thus, packing on more pounds than they had shed during their limited food intake.Below are some tips on dieting to help eliminated or lose weight the safe and effective way.Eat small meals. Most people, especially women, tend to eat when they are bored or have nothing else to do. Some use food to console or reward themselves over some things or events in their lives.The best way to limit food intake is to eat only when hunger strikes, and in doing so, by taking only small meals. If an individual is used to eating 3 slices of bread, cutting it down to 1, as a starter, would be a good idea.By cutting down the amount of food intake, but taking it more frequently, the individual would not feel that he or she is hungry since they are still ingesting food when need, though at an amount which is much healthier.For example, instead of skipping eating breakfast and then eating a big lunch, it would be best to eat breakfast and then eat a smaller lunch.Choose the foods to snack on. Office workers tend to snack on sugary goodies available on vending machines in their offices. What an individual has to do to limit the temptation to snack on these is to store nutrition packed foods such as the following:1. Dried fruits (raisins, figs, apricots)2. low-fat Granola bars3. whole wheat pretzels4. puddings which are low-in fat5. power bars6. low-fat popcorns7. dry-roasted mixed nutsq Eat foods high in fiber. Recent studies have shown that an increase in the intake of fiber-rich foods can contribute to weight loss. Fiber aids in the digestion process and makes an individual feel fuller at a much longer period of time, thus contributing to the decrease in the urge to eat.Foods high in fiber includes apples, pears, whole grains like pasta and wheat, lima beans and turnip green.Drink lots of water. Water replaces lost fluids in the body. It likewise aids in the digestion process. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day may reduce pangs of hunger since it makes the individual feel fuller, thus minimizing the urge to eat.It also flushes our toxins in the body and aids the kidney to function properly.It would be advisable to carry or have water nearby all the time. Office workers might want to have a container of water on their table so as to remind one self to drink.During small walks or jogs at the park, it would likewise be advisable to carry a jug of water for easy reach.Stress and sleep levels. If an individual who wants to lose weight deprives one self of the much-needed sleep, he or she might feel tired and sluggish during the day. Such fatigue might be confused with hunger or the need to eat, thus a weight losing idea buster.Sleep at least 8 hours a day, or whatever number of hours best suits the individual. It has been noted by some researchers that the ideal number of hours of sleep varies from person to person.Teenagers whose growth hormones are kicking, might need at least 10 hours of sleep, while older people feel re-charged and rested on a four-hour sleep.Stress on the other hand is said to promote a physiological change which might make loosing weight a hard task. A stressed body releases a hormone called cortisol. Said hormone encourages build up of fat cells in the abdomen as a result to response of the body to stress.Still, the idea of loosing weight should be done only for some very important matters. If issues of weight cause some health problems, it would be good idea, but to want to loose weight (even if one already feels satisfied with his or her looks) just because others told you so to look beautiful would not be very wise.Live a healthy life and be happy.
