Any Tips On Getting And Staying Motivated To Reach My Weight Loss Goals?

Fat Loss 4 Idiots

Last summer I started a weight loss program and was really excited about the prospect of being fit and healthy while I’m still young. Within the first 2 months, I lost almost 20lbs and wasn’t craving chocolate and sweets and other things like that, which I normally crave all the time. Then I went to Chicago for the weekend, and it’s been all downhill from there. I completely lost all my motivation and I think my cravings are even worse now than they were before I started the program last year! I just turned 25 and want to get healthy and fit so that I can better enjoy my life. I’m open to any advice or words of wisdom that might help me get back on track. Thanks in advance!

    Congrats on working towards a fitter and healthier lifestyle. I don’t have any fancy plans but when I lost some weight and started an exercise program a few years ago I found that sticking to a strict program all the time was very hard. I kept a record of what exercise I did on a calendar (for me it was treadmill so I recorded time and kilometres) It was amazing to watch my improvement and it kept me motivated. With food I aimed for 5 days a week that I ate well – lots of veges etc and no treats. But I let myself have 2 days where I might eat out or splurge. I recorded this and the days might change depending on if I went out mid week or weekend. I found this worked as I could have treats but could also tell from my records how often I was having them. Good luck hope this helps.

    Easiest way to lose weight fast and safely is to cut your calorie intake by eating more on fiber, fruits and vegetables. You’ll feel full with fewer calories on them. Fruits, vegetables and fibers are packed with nutrients but less on calories.
    I lost 10 pounds in just 2 months using these tips.
    Here are Tips to help speed up your metabolism plus help you lose weight without being miserable. they worked for me =)
    “Taking the time to relax and savor food increases calorie and fat-burning power by up to 30%”, mainstains Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet( Healing Arts Press, 2005).
    The reason: Savoring stimulates the cephalic phase digestive response, or “brain phase” of digestion, which then sets up a slimming chain of events. First, it signals the hypothalamus, the brain’s emotion-and-appetite-control center, to trigger the release of the metabolism-reviving thyroid hormone and the pleasure neurochemical cholecystokinin (CCK). In turn, CCK hinders production of the stress hormone cortisol, a known cause of fat accumulation.
    1. Outsmart Snack Attacks for 4 hours and Lose Weight
    Savoring Berries can oustmart snack attacks for 4 hours and help you shed 5% of your body weight in 6 months. The credit goes to dozens of blood sugar stabilizing antioxidants. Bluberries are so packed with them, just a half cup daily can boost your blood levels by 100%.
    2. Fill up on Fiber and Lose Weight Fast
    Fill up on Fiber – Foods rich in fiber will make you feel satisfied and help curb your appetite, helping you to lose weight fast and safely – so make sure to pack your diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
    3. Boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50% by sipping coffee
    Sipping coffee before a meal can supress appetite by 35%, plus boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50%, according to extensive research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The study-proven dose : 250 mg of caffeine daily, taken either in supplement form or by sipping to cups of coffee or 4 cups of tea.
    4. Lose Weight just by eating Yogurt
    Yogurt is a calcium-rich food. Research links calcium with lower cortisol production, and it has been proven that women who increase they’re intake lose up to 40% more weight than calcium avoiders.
    Plus Yogurt has live microorganisms which helps proper digetion and absorption of nutrients we take. Make sure to get yogurts that says “with live microorganisms in labels/packages”.
    5. Try this Hunger-Taming Trick
    Cut fat and you’ll cut cravings. Consuming a high-fat diet may supress your body’s natural satiety signals, according to a new study from Pennsylvania State University. Animals who’d been consuming a diet rich in fat ended up eating 40% more of a high-calorie snack than those on average diets. Keep your fat intake to less than 30% of total calories.
    6. Feel full on less food.
    Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you’ll feel full on less food.The result: You’ll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake.
    7. Studies suggest people pursuing a healthy weight could lose more weight and burn more fat by including 24 ounces a day of low fat or fat-free milk in their reduced-calorie diet, instead of 8 ounces or less.
    8. Speed fat burn with Cranberries.
    The ascorbic acid in cranberries helps thin liver bile, making it easier for the organ to emulsify fat so so it can be quickly flushed out of the system rather than stored in cells.
    9. Boost your protein intake and lose almost a pound a week without hunger.
    You can try protein smoothies. Packed with nutrients and low in calories, smoothies are a fast, easy and great tasting way to achieve good health.
    You can find a wide collection of healthy fruit smoothies at : http://fruitsmoothierecipe.bravehost.com
    By boosting your protein intake from the typical 15% of total calories to 30%, you may be able to cut your daily calorie intake by 440-enough to lose almost a pound a week without hunger, according to a recent University of Washigton study. “A high-protein diet appears to fool the brain into thinking you’ve eaten more than you have,” says the study’s lead author, Scott Weigle, M.D., a professor of endocrinology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Stick with lean protein rather than high-fat, artery clogging meat and dairy products. For breakfast, use low-fat milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. Eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breast.
    10. To counteract a binge, keep your body’s fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea.
    Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day.
    Whenever I ate too much, I just drink green tea and I don’t have to worry gaining weight.
    11. Speed weight loss and double energy levels by eating Coconuts.
    This tropical treats contain medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), a unique fat that is shuttled straight to the liver and immediately burned for fuel. Research shows this little detour revs metabolic rate by up to 50%, speeding weight loss and doubling energy levels
    Plus my favorite tip : Before you eat, drink a glass of water. This will help you feel fuller without additional calories (water has no calories). And Satisfy sweet cravings and keep your stomach full longer by eating all-natural fruits.
