Hello
Have you been noticing that your dress size has been creeping up a number or two? Are your favorite jeans getting a little snug? Are you concerned about your risk for diabetes or heart disease? If you answered yes to any of these question, then you may be considering losing a little weight to help your body to get back into shape. But (as most of us know!) weight loss is not an easy thing to attempt, and, if done improperly, it can be associated with some serious health risks. So if you are eager to lose a few pounds, here are a few healthy weight loss tips.

Do You Need To Lose Weight?
Before you start shedding those pounds, it is important to find out if you really need to lose weight. A lot of men and women are eager to drop a few sizes when they really don't need to or during a time in their lives when weight loss just isn't healthy. If you are under the age of 12, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should never lose weight, as this could result in serious health complications. If you are suffering from an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia, you should also refrain from weight loss.

Hi

Given here are some easy and fast weight loss ideas:

* Make water your favorite drink. A person must have a minimum of 8 glasses of water in a day. Avoid taking soft drinks or carbonated beverages; moreover replace them with water. Water helps in reducing weight in the most effective manner.
* Don't stuff yourself with food in a single sitting; instead have 5 to 6 small meals or snacks in a day. Eating several small meals helps the body to release less insulin, which keeps blood sugar steady and helps to control hunger.
* Make a habit of walking. Instead of driving car to the nearby market, prefer walking down. Walking is more important for people in sedentary jobs. Walk for at least 45 minutes every day; it helps in burning extra calories.
* Keep small plates for serving food because a study shows that the less food put in front of us, the less food we'll eat. So downsize your food plates and coffee mugs, and say goodbye to those extra calories.
* Eat more vegetables during meals as water-rich foods like zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers reduce your overall calorie consumption. Some other water-rich foods include soups and salads; they are good source of nutrition.


Thanks
Have a nice time ahead

wowww..!!! nice discussion ... i am sharing my way for reducing weight... i take a glass of warm water with lemon juice early in the morning... and divide meal in parts. whenever you eat just keep your stomach half empty....dinner should be very light. no junk.. some excercise ..doning aerobic activity at-least for an hour..Yoga helps as well..
thank you

get a healthy breakfast to start your day...everyday. healthy breakfast should be full of essential nutrients for the body after the "fast".

eat 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.

eat enough fiber per day, basically from fruits, veggies, complex carbs, and/or fiber-rich food supplements.

cut down on your consumption of simple carbohydrates / sugars like white rice, pasta, donuts, pizza, and sodas.

exercise regularly, also for cardiovascular / heart, muscle, and bone health.

sleep about 8 hours a day. those who sleep less than 7 hours have great risk of gaining weight.

take sufficient omega-3 for intestinal health and cellular health.

avoid alcohol. the body converts alcohol into body fats.

take good quality food supplements to ensure you give your body enough nutrients per day.

measure, measure, measure.

Hry Elijah,

I agree with your loss weight tips,1st,3rd and last point is very good.

Hi

Drink Herbal Tea

When urges for sweets and snacks arrive, try drinking herbal teas such as apple-cinnamon, almond, or orange. The preparation of tea alone actually helps to take your mind off of junk food. The heat from the tea fills you up, and the aroma helps to satisfy your cravings.
Tip 2: Limit High Carbohydrate Foods

To maximize the fat-burning process, it's best to gradually eliminate carbohydrates toward the end of the day. This minimizes your chances of storing fat late at night.
Tip 3: Don’t Drink Alcohol

Alcohol contains too many empty calories which ultimately produce nothing but fat.
Tip 4: Motivate Yourself

Try to find an incentive for getting in shape and burning fat. Write down your goal and put it in a location you see everyday, such as your refrigerator. Motivation really keeps you going!
Tip 5: Use Low-Calorie Food Alternatives

Try to save as many calories as you can. Substitute water for soda, baked chicken for fried chicken, sub sandwiches for pizza, etc.

Thanks

Firstly stay away from FAD diets and pills & potions.
The only way to reduce weight healthily is to eat a well balanced diet and regular exercise, as a life change, not short term.

1. Most people don't eat enough protein, this should be included in every meal, it helps regulate insulin and appetite as well as increases you metabolism, which is the key to losing weight.
2. Get most of you carbs from complex carbs like vegebles, and reduce your intake of simple carbs like breads, pasta's etc which which the body easily converts to sugars and stores as fat.
3. Drink plenty of water. I'm sure everybody knows this by now. Water helps keep your metabolism up as well as making you feel fuller.
4. Don't over eat. Most people portion sizes are now about twice what they should be. Get a doggy bag if you are eating out.
5. Do regular exercise. Consistancy is the key here. Going for a walk for 30 minutes every day is enough but if you can add a couple of high intensity exercise sessions for about 20-30 minutes each week then that is even better. No need to spend hours and hours on the tredmill, simply doesn't work!
6. The most important part of the above is to do this as a lifestyle change, not just to shed a few pounds for summer or that wedding coming up.
