Okay, Stacey here we go……….

You will not lose weight simply by not eating. Here are three things you can do that are relatively FREE AND EASTY:
1. Downsize your portions just slightly. Not radically, just slightly. You won’t notice the difference.
2. Drink at least three glasses of iced black tea or iced green tea a day. And add one bowl of oatmeal to your daily diet.
3. EAT BREAKFAST NO MATTER WHAT! Eating early gets your metabolism going so your body doesn’t think it’s starving and send sugar to your midsection to keep you alive! Starvation doesn’t work. Eat earlier in the day, less at night. Get to bed on time. You’ll actually lose weight while you sleep!

Here’s some weight loss tip’s I have picked up over the years:

– Exercise 6 to 7 days a week.

– And try to break your workout into two different sessions, this gives your metabolism a jolt.

– Drink 10 to 12 cups of water a day. And try to drink ice cold water, it burns more calories.

– Take enough vitamins, especially ones that promote weight loss (such as 1800 mg. Of Fish Oil, Vitamin B Complex, Co-enzyme Q-10, ect. Do your research).

– Drink green tea or take green tea pills ( it’s been shown to speed up your metabolism).

– For your metabolism’s sake, eat within 1 hour of waking up and don’t eat 3 hours before you go to bed.

– Try a vegan or vegetarian diet (it worked for me :D).

– Drink 12 oz. Of warm lemon water (use the juice of 1/2 a lemon) with a little sea salt every morning. This will detoxify your body and make your skin look amazing.

– Or, if giving up meat just isn’t your thing, just count calories. Try to have around 1200 a day.

– Try to avoid white, bleached, or enriched flour.

– Stay away from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.

– Eat every 2 to 4 hours to keep your metabolism going.

– Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism up.

– Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. When your body is deprived of sleep your appiteite increases by 15%.

– Sugar and artificial sweeteners are the devil. If you have a sweet tooth, grab some fruit.

– Avoid all junk food, fast food, and fried food.

– Try only drinking water, tea, and black coffee. There are so many hidden calories in drinks.

– Eat whole grain foods and healthy fats (like olives, avacados, nuts, ect) and stay away from refined or “bad” carbs.

– Remember to read the labels. They hide so much junk in “healthy diet” foods now a days. My rule of thumb is, if I can’t pronounce it, I won’t put it in my body. Because you are what you eat.

– Set small goals (like 5 pounds) and when you reach your goal reward yourself with something (not food).

And just remember that you can do this. It’s not impossible. You just have to stick to it and the weight will just fall off. Good luck with losing weight. Hope I’ve helped.

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.
