Weight Loss Tips...? -

I just turned 20 years old and and around this time last year I weighed 97 lbs. (I m 5 0 ). I got married last November and started taking birth control in January. In 7 months I got up to 123 lbs. and over the past 5 months I ve gained another 2 lbs. I stopped taking my birth control in July. I haven t changed any of my old habbits since birth control and it s just made me gain so much weight. How can I lose weight in a healthy way but also kind of quickly.

3500 calories equals 1 pound. To lose one pound of fat per week your body needs to burn 500 more calories per day then it consumes. If you cut your caloric intake by 250 calories and burn 250 calories exercising per day then you could easily lose weight with these two techniques alone. Cutting just 500 calories a day would result in a 52 lb weight loss in one year.You hear this all the time and there��s a reason for that - because it��s important! Drinking water curbs your hunger, hydrates your body and nourishes you from the inside out, including your skin. Aim for half your body weight in ounces per day. i.e. if you weigh 150 lbs, you would aim to drink 75 ounces of water per day.Stay away from sugar! When you consume sugar, it causes your body to release insulin - and insulin causes your body to store fat. That��s why those fat-free cookies with extra sugar are actually causing you to gain weight. Read the ingredients label and stay away from products heavy in sugar and high fructose corn syrup. ��Healthy�� breakfast cereals and bars are notorious for being high in these two ingredients.Add more of the following foods to your diet: whole grains, olive oil, eggs, natural peanut butter, fish, poultry, berries, apples, almonds, protein powder and water. These foods will help you burn more fat, stay in shape and better your health.Eat only when hungry but never skip a meal. Eating increases your metabolism so eat four or five small meals every 3 to 4 hours. Your most important meal of the day should be breakfast. Eat protein, whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
