The Proper Way To Lose Weight
Many people still
think that there is some magic bullet or pill that will take away their fat. It
is surprising to know that billions of dollars are being spent each year on
products that supposedly help with weight loss yet aren’t even approved by the
FDA, which ultimately would suggest that there is no actual proof of this or
that product will even work.
This article is a
short primer on how to logically lose weight. Think of it as a wake up call to
those who think their weight loss is going to come in a bottle.
First, diet
supplements that one can find either on television or on the shelf at the store
more than likely have not been approved by the FDA. There a loopholes for these
products so that they don’t actually have to meet the standards of a product
that actually works.
Next, there are the
different exercise machines that will melt the fat away. How many thigh
squeezers and abs loungers does one person need to stop buying these products?
Unless maybe they like to have extra clothes hangers lying around. Some of
these products will work, but they aren’t going to be the miracle products.
They only work when the person who wants to lose weight actually uses these
machines and on a consistent basis along with…that’s right…a healthy diet.
Now many of you
probably know these things already. But many out there will still buy the next
miracle pill or item in order to lose weight. Below are a few simple ways to
help lose weight, but your going to have to want it and work for it.
Stop thinking that
you’re going to lose weight by taking a diet pill. It just doesn’t work that
way. The only way to lose the weight and consistently keep it off is by hard
work. That means dieting and exercise. Sorry, but you know that it’s about the
only way, short of medical procedures.
Now having the
right mindset to losing weight is crucial. It would help to have a partner in
crime here so that you both can lean on each other when you are not wanting to
get the sweat pants on and head to the gym or really want to grab some fast
food.
You are going to
have to exercise- how much and what you do is up to you, but just know that the
more you put into it, the more you are going to get out of it. It’s that
simple. Diet and exercise; it may not sound like fun, but neither is being over
weight or paying out hard earned money for a diet pill or exercise machine that
is going to do nothing for you
What Is the Proper Way to Diet?
What
Is the Proper Way to Diet?
Michael Pollan, author of "Food Rules: An Eater's
Manual," writes that to maintain a healthy diet, you should "Eat
food. Mostly plants. Not too much." Pollan recommends changing your eating
habits in ways that will last a lifetime. To diet properly, follow the USDA
recommended guidelines for healthy eating and cut back on the foods and drinks
that put you over the recommended daily calorie intake, substituting healthy
choices instead.
Daily Calories
According to the 2010
Dietary Guidelines published by the USDA Center of Nutrition Policy and
Promotion, men should consume 2,000 to 3,000 calories each day and women should
consume between 1,600 and 2,400 depending on age and level of activity. No one
can be expected to know the calorie count for all foods, but you should have a
general understanding that high-fat and high-sugar foods have more calories
than fruits, vegetables and whole grains
Reduce
Portion Size
Reduce your portion
sizes to reduce calories. If you want to eat high-fat foods, eat a very limited
quantity to stay below the recommended daily calorie count. For a more healthy,
proper diet, eat larger portions of healthy, but low-calorie, foods, such as
fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Save calories by ordering a 6-oz steak for
instance instead of the 12-oz one. To avoid having seconds, make your plate up
in the kitchen and put left-overs away before sitting down to eat.
Stick
to a Plan
Making changes
gradually and with commitment is a good way to achieve success, according to
HelpGuide.org. The website recommends eating a salad with lots of different
vegetables every day. Experiment with fruits added to salads too---oranges cut
into a salad add a refreshing variation.
Planning also includes making choices. Avoid buying high-fat snacks at the grocery store. Save ice cream, chips and crackers for times when you are at a party to keep them out of your own pantry. If you frequently stop at a fast-food restaurant on the way home from work, plan to drive an alternate route to break the habit. HelpGuide.org also suggests keeping a regular supply of food on hand for quick, easy cooking at home, such as frozen vegetables, canned beans and bagged salad mixes.

Learn
to Love Whole Grains
Whole grains are more
filling than products made with white flour. And they are full of nutrients
that reduce your risk of serious diseases. Instead of eating a sugary cold
cereal, switch to rolled oats microwaved for two minutes and topped with a few
raisins. Invest in a rice cooker and cook a large batch of brown rice that you
can eat over a few days mixed with different ingredients for variety. Toss in
herbs and cooked mushrooms the first day and serve the rice as a salad the next
day with salad dressing and raw vegetables
Tips
According to
Healthykids.org, one can of soda has more sugar than a chocolate candy bar. The
website recommends cutting back on the soda and sports drinks you drink each
day. Save them for an occasional treat instead of everyday beverages.
HealthyKids.org also suggests finding an activity such as taking a walk,
grooming the dog or talking on the phone instead of eating when you are bored
