4 Tips to Start Losing Weight
I wanted to write a post geared towards everyone who is moderately overweight. This is for people who want to lose weight but struggle to make it to the gym. This may be because you have a busy life, have certain financial constraints, or you really hate working out! These 4 Tips to Start Losing Weight can be used by anyone!
1. Stop Dieting
This seems counter intuitive, we diet to lose weight! Why would I give up my super awesome paleo, keto gluten free super restrictive diet? Diets are hard thinking of going keto? Be prepared to never eat fruits or veggies. Carnivore diet? Give up all sources of carbs, cakes, cookies, rice, cereal, etc. etc. Rather than sticking to a super strict diet I would prefer to see someone exercising portion control. Lets assume you have ice cream as a before bed snack. I would never tell you to stop having your favorite snack. I would say to cut back. Instead of having two scoops of ice cream, have one scoop.
If you are home alone and board, you want some chips to crunch on. Get your chips but do not take the entire bag. Measure out one cup of your favorite chips and bring that with you to the couch. This has two benefits. You are likely to eat fewer chips because there are fewer chips around! Also leading into my next point, if you want more chips, you have to get up and walk to the bag!
