Dieting & Weight Loss Tips

Everyone is in competition nowadays to look good and live healthy.

So to look good usually they go for dieting with the aim of losing weight as personality with overweight is not pleasing.

People diet for many reasons. Some are at an unhealthy weight and need to pay closer attention to their eating and exercise habits. Some play sports and want to be in top physical condition. Others may think they would look and feel better if they lost a few pounds.

Lots of people feel pressured to lose weight and try different types of diets. But if you really need to lose weight, improving your eating habits and exercising will help you more than any diet.

Dieting could be a solution if done in a right manner.

Unhealthy Dieting, especially extreme food-intake reduction and rapid Weight Loss, can have the following side effects:

  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Prolonged hunger
  • Sinus
  • Muscle loss
  • Blood shot eyes
  • Gall bladder diseases
  • Acidosis
  • Rashes
  • Irritability
  • Fainting

The best way to diet is to eat a wide variety of enough food to meet your body’s needs. Aim to eat more fruits and veggies, cut back on meats high in fat (like burgers and hot dogs), greasy fried foods, and sweets, and drink more water instead of sugary drinks like sports drinks or sodas.

Great Dieting Tips to loose weight safely:

  • Eat less. More often.
  • Don’t eat right before going to bed.
  • Kick the sugar habit.
  • Shop with calories in mind.
  • Reduce the amount of breads, chips, crackers, and salty snacks you eat.
  • Exercise daily.
  • Drink milk, including fat-free or low-fat milk.
  • Drink plenty of water (at least four to six 8-ounce glasses a day).
  • Eat lean, high-protein foods, like lean meat, chicken, fish, or beans.
  • Eat whole grains (like whole-wheat bread or pasta), which provide fiber, B vitamins, and iron.
  • Eat breakfast.
  • Choose smaller portions at fast-food restaurants.
  • Stay away from fad diets — you might lose a few pounds temporarily, but if you don’t focus on changing your habits, you’ll probably just gain it back when you go back to your usual way of eating.
  • Don’t take diet pills.
  • Avoid seeing foods as "good" or "bad" or eliminating entire groups of foods, like dairy. If you eliminate entire food groups, you may miss out on important nutrients, like calcium
  • If you choose to become a vegetarian, talk to your doctor or dietitian about how to make nutritious vegetarian choices.

  1. Dieting – Weight loss tips!?!?
    What are some weight loss tips!?!

    What has worked for you!?!

    Quick and easy things that I can do in my everyday life to lose weight!?!

  2. 30 minutes of activity a day. Swimming helps fit your body into shape and straighten out the muscles. Eat regurarly, and eat whatever you want. You don't need to eat anything you don't like, like vegetables. If you do like them, you can. Don't starve yourself, that will only make it worse. Just do a lot of activity, so you can increase your metabolism. Jogging, the gym, etc.

    Good Luck =)

  6. Weight Watchers is really good! The point system is great and you can still eat anywhere! The points may seem hard to keep track of at first but once you're on it for a few weeks you remember the points for the things you eat the most and you can also get a point calculator that is small and can be carried around with you. But if you're just looking to cut down…cut out sugar and butter and cut carbs where you can. Choose low fat or fat free items whenever possible and drink lots of water.

    Of course add more activity even if its small things like parking at the back of a parking lot when you go to a store to get in some extra walking.

    Move. Especially using the stairs.
    Drink lots of very cold water.
    Eat frequent, small meals throughout the day. Don't go longer than 3 hours.

  9. Cut out sugar. Switch to whole grain carbs (basically no white breads). Eat lean meats and veggies. Just a little fruit.

    I recommend reading The South Beach Diet. It's a really healthy way to eat and you will lose weight and get your body chemistry where it should be. I've been doing it and have lost 17 pounds so far.

  10. To burn off excess fat – Run in the morning before breakfast & run in the evening before dinner. & run & run & run

    Your legs have the largest muscle groups in the body and working them is the most efficient method of burning fat. You cannot target particular areas that you wish to burn fat.

    once you start losing weight you can do ab crunches (dont forget the obliques) to tone your ab muscles

    Diet – breakfast cereal (not sugary) water fruit veg & lean meat (limit chicken)- nothing else

    you WILL notice the difference in less than a week
