Weight Loss - Steps to Success

Successful Weight Loss -
Steps to Success....
Finally!

Step #3 ...Think Before you EAT

Ever think about "why you ate that...(fill in the blank)"?
A lot of unnecessary calories are wolfed down because you are just throwing in food when you are angry, frustrated, mad, bored...well, you get the picture. So, before you run to the chocolate. cookies, chips, ect., during or after a stressful stituation, take a couple deep breaths and run out of the kitchen!

Also, eating quickly until you are full also leads to being overweight. So, try NOT to get soooo hungry you're "starving"
(which you know you're not. Try to eat little meals more often, to take the edge off.

Overeating is a guaranteed path to weight gain and obesity!!

Step #2 ...Right Foods/ Wrong Foods

What's for breakfast? I'm in a hurry and I'm stressed, I'm going to make myself "feel good."
....bagel and cream cheese = 450 calories
....2 scrambled eggs with milk and butter = 197 calories.
Choosing lower calorie, nutrient dense foods will fill you up and keep you healthier than lots of starchy carbs. But, don't forget that it takes about 20 minutes for GOOD food
to make you feel satisfied. It's worth the wait! Keep those veggies coming!

Weight Loss - Steps to Success


Successful Weight Loss -
Steps to Success....
Finally!

Step #1 ...Movement/Exercise
  • People who exercise regularly report 25% less muscle and joint pain as they age!
  • Only 16% of Americans engage in 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 days or more per week.
So, get off your chair and move! Make a plan on Sunday night that makes room in your busy schedule for 30 minutes of movement and/or weight training 5 days a week. Do you have a piece of equipment at home that is a great holder for clothes? Do you have a gym membership that you want to cancel because you don't use it? Is there a work out area in your office building? Well..get off it and get on it! Or, if none of the above fit your "M.O." buy some resistance bands and close the door, nobody will know you are secretly building muscle and losing fat.

You will see positive weight loss much, much, much faster if exercise is part of your life.
