Your Weight Loss Top 10 Tips

Your Weight Loss Top 10 Tips

1. Follow the rule of seven: Make a commitment to take the stairs if it’s 7 floors or less and walk the distance if it is 7 blocks or less.

2. Carbohydrates are not created equal. Eat natural fruits rather than drinking juice. The extra pectin, fiber, and other solids in the fruit will slow the release of blood sugar, helping tame your appetite. Veggies are a healthier choice than bread or pasta. What you are looking for is God made not man processed. Chances are good if it comes in a box you should make another choice.

3. Choose an alternative to Junk Food. Great tasting alternatives are everywhere; Nuts, my favorite are almonds and walnuts they each contain an abundance of Omega 3. Sunflower seeds, fruit, raw vegetables, especially carrots, broccoli, celery. Choose popcorn, soy crisps, rice cakes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and almonds instead of chips and candy bars.

4. Choose activity during commercials. While watching TV at commercial time do some lunges, push-ups or crunches. The Doctor Directed Weight Loss Program gives you 35 videos of different exercises you can easily perform during commercials.

5. Give your nutrition plan time. Dieters who attempt to lose weight too fast, and expect quick results often fail. Be patient and you will drop the weight - faster than it was put on. This is a change in Lifestyle not just Diet!

6. Look for the bad fat in foods, even in "low-fat" foods. Stay away from Trans fats, which also mean the partially hydrogenated fat. Processed food companies are tricky in their labels.

7. Eat at least one protein food with each meal. This will maintain muscle tone and increase your metabolism.

8. Beware of artificial sweeteners! NutraSweet, saccharin, Aspartame, all increase your cravings for carbohydrates and sweets. They each carry with them other cancer causing properties and neurological warnings as well.

9. Plan your meals in advance. Take a couple minutes on Sunday to plan you meals for the week, this way you at the end of a long day you don’t fall into temptation to hit the fast food joint. Pack a cooler full of nutritious foods for lunch and snacks.

10. Exercise early in the day. This will increase your metabolic rate for the entire day. Exercising in the morning burns more fat than exercising later in the day. My advice is to start each day with about 30 - 40 push ups or as many as you can do comfortably. Then do a couple sets of deep knee bends fast and hard until you feel the burn. Then run up and down the stairs 3 times as fast as you can. You should be out of breath. This routine takes 5 minutes or less and you will be amazed at the results. Just Do It!
