Losing weight is always hard for most of us especially that we are overwhelmed with hundreds of information on how to lose weight, making us almost unable to start. We all want to lose weight quickly and safely. The quickest way to lose weight is different for everyone and to know how safe one method is from another, we need to spend so much time to be vigilant and understand weight loss ourselves. All methods, easy or hard, narrow down to 2 things: Exercise and Proper Diet. This is a no-brainer and I bet you’ve heard this for so many times already. But the method itself is not the challenge but the action that you need to take in order to get the desires you want. Follow this step-by-step weight loss blueprint to guide you on your way to weight loss, from setting goals to maintaining your weight.

Be Realistic. This does not only apply in weight loss but also in every goal in your daily life. Don’t jump right in to the conclusion that you can lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks if you’ll just pour some effort and follow your methods religiously. Yes you can lose weight by doing all these things but not 30 pounds in an unrealistic span of time. Don’t get carried away of the emotion you’re feeling right now that triggers you to think of such thing. A weight loss plan is not a dream or an ambition. It’s a plan that needs an action.

Start a regular exercise program. Manage your time and start exercising. Remember that there’s no easy way to a fulfilling goal. Although exercising sounds more like a burden to most of us, remember that there’s no point of being lazy everyday. You need to stand up and exercise to shed off some pounds and release happy hormones.

Have a sport. You might not want to spend money on sports equipments and court fees but you need to start a sport. Look at this as a hobby instead of another part of your diet program. Buy yourself a beginner’s badminton racquet and invite your friends to come along to play with you. Call an old friend, your spouse or a friendly neighbor. Aside from losing weight through exercise, you’re building rapport with the people around you thus making your social relationship healthy as well.

Eat Healthy fats. Not all fats are unhealthy and you need fats as much as you need cholesterol in order to move. Eat healthy fats from seeds, nuts and fiber-rich food such as vegetables and whole-grain pastas.

Make your own menu. You don’t have to starve or eat food that you don’t like in order to lose weight. Choose foods that you like and make sure they could fit your daily calorie meal plan. Know your daily caloric intake and make a menu out of it. Prefer low-calorie than low-carb. The lost weight in low-carb diet are mostly water weight which is temporary.

Don’t starve yourself. Eat smaller frequent meals. Always include mid-day snacks and mid-afternoon snacks in your menu so you won’t starve.Starving will only cause you to eat huge, heavy meals.

Stick your menu on the fridge door. Sticking your menu will help remind you about your weight loss plan. Fill the fridge with all the healthy goodness that are enough for the whole month. Make sure the foods are healthy and that they have to be eaten according to your menu.

Keep a journal. Write all your achievements from day 1. Keep track of your weight and write about how much weight you’ve lost in a given span of time. This will motivate you to continue and maintain your lifestyle.

Keep in mind that this is all about health. The time might come that you are getting bored of living your new and healthy lifestyle without noticing any result, which is a very rare case. If you have poured enough effort and disciplined yourself to reach your goal, there are always results in a reasonable amount of time. You might have not lost weight as fast as somebody else you know but remember that the span of time for one to lose weight differs from person to person. Instead, notice the difference of your lifestyle and health and compare it to how you’re feeling before you started the program. Yes, it’s different.

Lisa asks…

How much weight can I lose in 2 months if I ride a bike 2 hours a day?

I’m 18 years old, 5’0 and about 140 pounds. I eat as healthy as possible and drink over 2 litres of water a day. I eat wheat bread instead of white.. barely eat processed foods.
I’ve been trying to lose weight for so long and have tried running but I HATE it. I love to ride bikes so I figured I’d purchase one for weight loss.. I can ride a bike for hours and hours and never get bored. All of my weight loss plans have failed because I never enjoy the workout so I thought this is a good alternative. My goal weight is to lose 15-30 pounds

Half as much if you don’t go on a diet too. Here’s the calculation. You burn 35 calories per mile. It takes 3500 calories NET of intake to lose one pound. The end result…. You will burn most of your weight only if you cut the incoming calories. My favorite diet is real easy. Eat like you always do. Same things…. Just push your plate back,when t is 1/2 gone. An instant 50% calorie reduction with out doing anything special!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Donald asks…

How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?

I hear so many different things. I tried to eat 1200-1300 calories a day but I was starving when I did that no matter how many fruits and vegetables I ate. But when I bumped it up to 1400 calories a day, I did not lose weight. I walk 45 minutes 3 days a week for exercise at a moderate pace (about 3.5 mph). I am 145 lbs and 5 ft 4 inches. I would like to get down to about 120 lbs.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Honestly you can eat as many calories as you want up to the normal 2,000 calories, as long as they are the right calories. Remember the right foods burn fat with no exercise. Protein and vegetables are the most important, no sweets or sodas and drink plant of water

Paul asks…

How much possible weight could i lose if i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days?

I have been losing weight for my college graduation on Saturday but i still want to lose 5 more pounds by then. If i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days and go for a walk for 40 minutes a day, could i lose the 5 pounds by Saturday?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try raw food diet. It’s extremely healthy way to go, but only with consulting a doctor (take b12 supplements, take in lots of greens).
I lost 60 pounds in 2 months. That’s 1 pound a day, mate. And I didn’t lose muscle mass. Just hoovering raw veggies and fruits all day. You should avoid nuts and seeds for a while, they have bunch of calories.

Jared Leto used raw food to lose weight after his Chapter 27 movie. I said it all.
I’ve tried it. Only thing that’s missing in raw food is B12, so take alge pills or eat fish to get B12.
And eat everything. Don’t stick to particular foods.

John asks…

What are some better tricks for losing weight?

I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight lately. I have been cutting down on portions, eating healthier, and going to the gym 3 days a week, and I still haven’t really seen any results. Is there something more I need to be doing?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here are a few tips;

WHEN to eat for losing weight…

• Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That’s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… You must eat (the right things, of course)
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don’t starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
• Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast–eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.

WHAT to drink for losing weight…

• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the “hunger” sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don’t believe the slogan “water makes me fat”. Besides being stupid… You might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed!
Don’t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Sprite etc. During the diet. Even lite or light versions.
• Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.

Exercise for losing weight…

• If you want quicker results – exercise would be good.
• Don’t just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts…
I guarantee THIS won’t work for your weight loss…
• Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don’t be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
• Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don’t regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.
• Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don’t shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
• Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.

Good luck!
