2. There are lots of fad diets and weight reduction programs these days
that claim you can shed weight easily. Unfortunately, many of these
methods put you at risk of several side effects, some of which can be
dangerous; electrolyte imbalances, for instance. Also, many of them
require drastic lifestyle changes which makes them rarely sustainable,
putting you at risk for weight yo-yoing. The moment you stop following
these programs, you will quickly regain the weight you have lost,
sometimes even more. If you’re looking for ways to get rid of excess
pounds naturally, read on.
Weight Loss Tips:
Go on a diet and exercise often. Diet and exercise will still continue to
be the most recommended methods of reducing your weight because
they are the least intrusive. Because 3,500 calories equals 1 pound of fat,
you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound.
In principle, by lowering your usual daily intake by 500 calories, you
can shed one pound per week. However, you usually lose a combination
of fat, lean tissue, and water, so the 1 pound you will lose at the end of
the week may not be entirely fat.

3. Having said such, you would have to lower your calorie intake for more
than 3,500 calories per week to have continuous fat loss. Many experts
warn against lowering your calories abruptly and drastically. Many
experts suggest that you should not cut back more than 1,000 calories
from your usual daily intake. Cutting calories doesn’t have to be
difficult. Just swap high, calorie nutrition items for high nutrition, low
calorie items and reduce your portion sizes. The American College of
Sports Medicine recommends that you spend about 2.5 to 4 hours doing
moderate intensity aerobic exercises to maintain weight. Spending more
than 250 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise each week can
bring about clinically significant weight loss.
You should also do muscle strengthening
activities on three days a week. Keep a
journal. Research show that people who
maintain a log of what they eat are more
successful in their weight loss attempts.
Many believe that by keeping a journal
helps you stay motivated and at the same
time discourage you from binge eating or
skipping on scheduled exercise sessions.
Try losing weight through hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy has been used for years to
aid in correcting behaviors that are not
healthy or destructive. While you can
learn the proper hypnosis techniques so
that you can practice weight loss hypnosis
on your own, it is often better to work
with a professional hypnotherapist.
