There are certainly different ways to lose weight, but not all of them will be the right plan for you. We have different body structures and eating habits, and what works for one person may not work for another individual. However, most weight loss plans will definitely have certain features in common. Below are three simple steps for anyone to follow for effective weight loss.
1. Minimize your intake of starches and sugar
These are foods with the highest impact on the stimulation of insulin in the body. If you are not already aware, insulin is the body’s primary fat storage hormone. If insulin is down, stored fat will have an easy passage from the body. Another main reason to lower insulin is the fact that the kidney removes excess water and sodium out of the body, which minimizes redundant water waste.
2. Take a lot of vegetables, fat and protein
Your meal should have a vegetable source, a fat source as well as a protein source. There are different good protein sources such as eggs, fish and seafood, meat, beans, and peas. While you are trying to lose weight, you still need to build your body mass (muscles), and there is no better way to achieve this than proper intake of protein. With high protein diet, your desire for constant food will be minimized to a great extent. This will definitely reduce your desire to take late night foods and in-between meals that can increase your calorie intake. Apart from protein, always include low-calorie vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, and lettuce in your diet. A diet rich in meat and vegetables will have all the minerals, vitamins, and fiber your body needs.
3. Finally, do not neglect exercises
It’s quite interesting to see so many dieters concentrate on foods alone without paying equal attention to exercises. If you want to shed fat, the fastest way this can be done is through exercise. Do workouts regularly and combine it with proper diet to get the best results. Losing weight is not rocket science. The best way is to follow the simple weight loss tips and keep your diets free of calories. It might not be a rapid process, but gradually you will start seeing results as you comply with your weight loss routine.

Weight loss is a never ending battle that we all are fighting. This coupled with our stressful work conditions makes the situation all the more tiresome. Going on a crash diet or hitting the gym may lead to losing those pounds but how to sustain that weight loss is the million dollar question. In present times many people have started looking at Yoga as the answer. So does yoga really help to lose weight fast? Let us find out.

In normal conditions weight loss for any individual happens only if he is able to burn the calories that he has been consuming. While a trip to the gym can seriously let you do so efficiently yoga carries out the process rather slowly. Even Jogging or brisk walking is better at burning fat as compared to yoga. However, one advantage that works in favour of Yoga is that practicing it makes a person more mindful of his surroundings and what he is eating. Not only that he is able to direct his energy to only fruitful activities and can monitor his diet well.

The fact that yoga leads to a reduction in stress levels leads an individual to think positive and be outgoing about his exercise module leading to faster weight loss. However, what can you do if you want instant weight loss? You would want to know if yoga can provide desired results even in such situations. As per experts, the weight loss can be quick if you are able to attempt yoga poses of high intensity, and that should be done regularly for an extended duration of time. Only then you can be assured of losing the bulk fat that you have accumulated over the years.

Another point that we need to ponder about is that any yoga session continues for at least 60-75 minutes. During this time the muscles of your body are continually active and working. This allows them to raise your body metabolism and also work on the toning of the body. So if you think that before losing the pounds you could do with trimming up your body then no harms in attempting regular Yoga classes.

In a nutshell, we can only say that weight loss through Yoga is slow but sustained in comparison to exercising and diet control. With yoga, you do not need to starve yourself, however, practicing it will allow you to control your diet. If you need intense weight loss you might have to work very hard for an extended duration which can give you results similar to a cardio vascular exercise.

If you are looking at a weight loss program which also tones up your body then yoga can work perfectly. However, the results would take time and you should be patient with that waiting. Apart from making your body perfect you also gain a lot of mental and emotional benefits of doing Yoga. For these benefits itself doing Yoga has become very prominent with many people including celebrities. So stay fit and use Yoga to maintain a balanced healthy life.

tips to lose 1 - 5 Tips to lose weight and keep it off

Image source

We all are living in a world which gives a lot of importance to how we look and portray ourselves. However, at times, the excess weight we have leads to us not being able to do so. If you pick up a diet book it will tell you multiple ways to lose weight and even keep the kilos away. But how many of these methods are actually effective is a question we need to ask. Here we bring some quick tips to burn fat and let the kilos melt away.

  • Let your fat burn the fat– Confused are you? Yes, our body is composed of two kinds of fats that are white and brown. While the white one is the one that you do not wish to accumulate the brown one, in fact, can actually help you get rid of it. Activation of your brown fat can lead to at least 20% of the calories getting burned up. Exercising for half an hour daily is going to bring your brown fat into action and increase the rate of weight loss.
  • Maintain the focus– Once you have decided that you need to lose fat make sure that you do not lose the focus. Even if it is your friends sharing some of your lovely desserts try not to give in to the temptation. If it requires being a little harsh on the refusal do it. Trying to please people may dilute your resolve to be able to keep the weight loss maintained.
  • Chewing slowly– Now this is one tip which probably no one has mentioned to you. Eating slowly and chewing your bites properly would ensure that you only eat as much as your stomach wants to. Faster eating increases the quantity of food you are going to eat which can be a roadblock to your weight loss plan.
  • Get moving– Even if you have a desk job try getting up as often as you can. Just the act of lying or sitting down might make your fat creation process increase. In the break time, take a walk around your office. If you want to have a discussion opt for a walk to the co -worker’s seat rather than talking on the phone. At home, if you are watching TV do make a point to get up during the commercial breaks to just stretch your muscles. If possible do jumping jacks or simple exercises in between so that all that fat you have accumulated is easily disposed off.

  • Be outdoors– Instead of spending your time at home lazing around try going for a walk outside and get in touch with nature. People are much happier walking outside than doing the same on a treadmill. Not only that, being outside would also reduce your cravings to a large extent hence assisting in the fat loss program.

We all are in a hurry these days. This coupled with the stressful work conditions leads to us piling up some extra kilos which then become very difficult to lose. Following the above simple tips would lead to the path of quick and reliable weight loss. So get into gear and say bye to your lethargic lifestyle. It won’t be much time before you start getting compliments on your looks and appearance.

Often in the search for losing the extra weight, we go about researching different methods which can help us in doing so. This process though tiresome leads us to many possibilities. Below are the best ways to find out the optimum weight loss method for yourself.

  • Understand your body need– In the initial stages itself find out what you are aiming to get out of this program. For example, do you only want to lose your extra weight or you need some toning and muscle build up too? The choice of the perfect weight loss program would be dependent on what your expectations are.
  • Analyse each program– Though there are multiple ways to lose weight fast the most effective ones are diet and exercise. You need to analyse each one of them to know which program would give the kind of results you want. For strength training and body building, it is obvious that you would have to exercise daily. However, if you want to only lose weight and that too without any time limits then controlling your diet should work for you.
  • Reliability of the program– It is possible that the diet program you are looking to take up may only be a fad selling false claims. Go through the details of the program carefully to know whether the program is actually genuine. If you are taking up a gym package then you might have to understand what kind of results you can receive. Sometimes the results are quick for some but delayed for others. Hence if you want to burn fat fast you should understand whether the program can actually deliver it.

  • Read the online review- Losing weight is tough these days and if you want to be successful at it then you need to select a method which will work best for you. If it is a popular diet loss program then finding and reading online reviews will give you the lead you need to finalize the decision. Apart from that even for a gym program, you can consult the existing users to know if it is suitable for your kind of need. Often there are possibilities of a lot of false claims being made and checking reviews eliminates the ones that cannot be trusted.
  • Trial method- Instead of taking a plunge instantly you can also opt for a free trial of a month or so. If you see the kind of results that you were looking at then go ahead and pursue it further. However, if the results are few and far between then do not renew the subscription as this program is not suitable for your requirements.

If you keenly intend on losing the weight then understand the value of time and patience. No results can show in a week or so. The pounds will take their own time to disappear. This would be largely dependent on the type of exercise you do and your body type. Instead of losing the faith work hard and see how you can lose weight the optimum way.

Restaurant 1 - Restaurant rules to follow if you want to lose weight

Image Source

We all want to lose weight but does that mean that we cannot go to restaurants and eat to our capacity? Most people who go on a diet have a strict problem managing the calories and hence they stop all their trips to restaurants for fear of over eating. However, if you are careful enough you do not have to worry about that. Just keep the following things in mind.

  • Eat normal- In a normal situation, anyone would want to keep themselves famished since morning so that they can enjoy food in the restaurant. This though is not a very good idea because being very hungry would force you to binge on things which are not good for your weight loss. Eat normally and when you reach the restaurant restrict your consumption to smaller portions so that the impact is not much.
  • Analyse the menu- If you are serious about losing weight fast you would be careful about what you are going to eat. Just go through what the menu has to offer you. Look for dishes which have descriptions with words baked, broiled, grilled, steamed and poached. Not only will such dishes be healthy the oil used in preparing them would be good too. Avoid dishes which say rich, creamy, decadent, premium, cheesy, loaded or buttery as they are probably too high on the calories.

  • Opt for balancing- Instead of going for only one kind of dish try to balance your platter. Combining proteins with healthy carbs and veggies aids your digestion and you stay full for a longer period of time. This makes you stay away from food for some time hence keeping your weight loss process in control.
  • Get the dish changed- Supposing you spot a seemingly delicious dish you would like to eat and it involves the use of white bread which is otherwise too high on the calories. The solution is just asking them to replace the white bread with brown. If there is mayo in your dish you can always ask the chef to skip it when giving it to you. No restaurant has a problem doing such modifications and if you are looking to lose fat then you should follow this tip.
  • Be assertive- Though this may sound a little rude if you are focussed on losing fat fast then nobody would mind. Place your food order before anyone else. Doing that would prevent others from influencing your choice and some of them may even support you in the quest to eat healthily. Don’t wait for others to take the lead else you would also end up getting convinced into buying something not worth eating on a diet.

Keeping your weight loss at the target is not so much a herculean task as it seems. By following the above mentioned restaurant rules you would ensure that the weight is under check and you are able to relish an outside meal too. Stay away from going on a guilt trip later on as that might break your staying fit resolve completely.

Getting rid of the excess weight that you have accumulated is somehow a herculean task for most of us. To make matters worse there are multiple programs which claim to help us lose weight fast. Are all these claims genuine? No, we tell you as there is an ideal manner in which your weight loss should proceed. Let us know more about what that ideal level of fat loss is.

According to Centers for Disease Control and prevention  , a per week loss of 1-2 pounds is the optimum level. So on an average, if you wish to lose 10 pounds it should take you anything between 5-6 weeks. Any program which claims to make that fat loss faster should not be trusted even if it is being advertised by a celebrity.

Now the next question that you would ask is that what is the harm in losing weight quickly? We will tell you. Any weight loss that is hastened also leads to muscle loss along with the fat. Bone mass is something that you should preserve if you do not want to end up with weaker bones at old age. Apart from that losing muscle leads to your body getting weaker and even everyday tasks are difficult to accomplish. This along with the fact that higher muscle means a high body metabolism which is mandatory to lose weight the healthy way.

Along with that, this loss of muscle through starvation can reduce your metabolism so much that the moment you come to a normal diet you would again pile up the weight. This is a situation that you would want to stay away from.

So the healthiest way to burn fat is to eat almost 1500 calories per day if you are a female and 2000 calories if you are a male. This ensures that your body receives appropriate nutrition and even burns the calories the way it should ideally. This is how you would be able to lose weight without putting your body into much trouble.

At times even after following a practical diet plan we keep on losing muscles regularly. To avoid that make sure to do enough cardio vascular exercises and strength training. This helps in burning the extra calories faster while toning the muscles and building them up. So cutting up your diet or resorting to crash diets can only be beneficial in the small term. If you look at it in the long term perspective you would realize that you are losing much more than what you are gaining by doing that.

Weight loss is frequently an issue of concern for most people. However fat loss should always happen in a regularized and streamlined manner. Not doing so causes more trouble for your body then you can even think of. Maintain the ideal rate of losing weight if you want that loss to stay with you for long. If not anything adopting a crash diet also affects the sanity of your mind. Hope this would be an incentive for you to stay away from them and lose weight sensibly.
