When it comes to weight loss, the first thing I constantly talk about is the main reason why most people fail to shed pounds. When most people embark on the weight loss journey, they don't realize that it's not about short-term weight loss, but about a lifetime of weight loss. This is why many people are not mentally prepared for this long-term commitment and stop whatever they are doing to lose weight as soon as they see some weight loss. When they return to their old routine, it later translates into pounds or more.
To lose weight healthily, you have to change your lifestyle, follow the right plan, and be able to persevere.
If you find that you are not the kind of person who can stay inspired and disciplined over the long term, it does not mean that you will never be able to lose weight. Whatever you need to find out inspires you and stays with you throughout your life.
Join weight loss support groups, meet the right people,
Do the exercises you've always wanted to do, and go to a fitness center with friends.
Use inspirational stickers on your bathroom door, wall or refrigerator.
Subscribing to your favorite health magazines and publications will be a great source of inspiration.
Once you are mentally prepared for this hurdle, you can confidently embark on the path to becoming a healthier, more beautiful, and healthier person.
Remember, the first step is always the hardest! Keep pushing and it will get easier and easier until it almost comes on its own.
1. Getting to know yourself and choosing your food
Understanding the different types of foods is essential when changing your diet, as choosing the wrong foods can lead to feelings of hunger, unhappiness, or just plain boredom.
When are you hungry all the time?
I suggest you eat more low glycemic index foods. Low GI foods are good because the body needs more time to process complex carbohydrates, fiber, nutrients, and healthy oils. The sugars are released gradually into the bloodstream, so you can feel full and satisfied longer.
Non-GI foods are (unfortunately) cakes, pastries, instant porridges, ultra-processed foods, 5-minute pasta, and, packaged foods.
Low GI foods include vegetables, whole grain products, skim milk, yogurt, fruit, peanuts, homemade banana bread, and fresh fruit juice.
An afternoon snack is a great way to stay full throughout the day. It also prevents overeating at the next meal and helps with weight maintenance and weight loss. Ideas for healthy afternoon treats include smoothies, mixed nuts, low-sugar granola, protein bars, and fat-free yogurt.
When you eat fast food
Fast food is the devil in any diet because it is full of salt and trans fats and is addictive.
Fast food restaurants prepare food using margarine and cooking oils (such as peanut and vegetable oils). The human body's lipase enzyme only understands the digestion, transport,, and conduct of typical fats and oils, but it is ineffective compared to breaking down trans fats, which are thus stored in the arteries.
Make your own healthy burgers by buying lean meat, fresh leafy greens, tomatoes, cheese, and sauces like ketchup and peppers. Roast the meat a bit and arrange it between whole grain buns. There's a healthier alternative to delicious burgers with your favorite sauce! (Note: don't forget to remove the dressing and sauces as they can be high in sugar and calories. You can take it to work or eat it for lunch, which will also save you money.
Only eat them occasionally, like a treat, and try to avoid them as much as possible if you still can't avoid and remove all those junk food cravings.
When you don't have time to prepare a healthy and balanced meal?
There are a few tricks to solve this problem.
👉 Make healthy sandwiches and rolls
Buy canned tuna, sardines, smoked salmon, tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, mixed salad/iceberg lettuce, avocados, onions, peppers, and spreads like honey mustard. Sandwiches can be made quickly, in less than 10 minutes, and are a great idea for tasting.
For example, make healthy fried rice with lots of vegetables like carrots, peas, and corn and lean meat and divide it among several plates. When you get home from work the next day and are tired of cooking, just open the fridge, microwave it for a few minutes and a healthy dinner is ready.
👉Make power.
As with healthy sandwiches and rolls, buy all the ingredients with a special fat-free dressing. Salads are ready in minutes because it's really just a matter of adding all kinds of veggies and meats to a big bowl, topping them, and mixing them up!
👉Find a restaurant that serves healthy food
Instead of going to the nearest McDonald's, check out the unique little cafe across the street. Look for healthy rolls and non-fried foods. The portion size is also important. Too large a portion and your weight loss goals may seem quite meager as you are consuming extra calories for your body.
Good snack concepts include rolls, sushi, baguettes, smoothies, grilled burgers,, and handmade sandwiches. When dining out, if possible, choose the permanently grilled version over the fried version. Grilled chicken, for example, is lower in calories and fat than oil-fried chicken.
When you have a sweet tooth
Here are a few ideas to chase away those sweet cravings.
👉frozen yogurt.
This is great because it's just as delicious as ice cream! You can also slice up bananas, strawberries, and fresh fruit and use them as toppings.
👉Make your own desserts.
Find healthy, low-fat recipes. There are countless recipes on the Internet! Just be careful not to be fooled by the name and claims of the dish. Take the time to look at the active ingredients you are using and decide. If you see whipped cream, smoothies, and lots of sugar, it's probably not the healthiest recipe.
Great concepts for healthy recipes to look at are banana bread/muffin, oat bran bread, carrot cake, oat cake with honey, granola slices, flourless orange pie, and, fruit syrup.
👉Sugar Substitute
Substitute honey for sugar, yogurt for whipped cream, sour cream for yogurt,t and frozen yogurt for ice cream (if necessary) with a small amount of topping like chocolate chips or hundreds and thousands. You'll hardly notice the difference.
👉 Give yourself the occasional bonus
If you're really sticking to your healthy eating plan, it's time to reward yourself with a few chocolate bars or a tiramisu cake that you haven't eaten in months and it won't hurt! Reward yourself, eat slowly and enjoy your favorite dessert.
2. Think about what you're going to eat each day... And enjoy it!
For many people, if they are hungry or unhappy with a change in their diet, they enter a negative state of mind, a bad mood that makes it almost difficult to get through the day positively, and that makes it very appealing to eat a piece of chocolate cake or give up on their diet "for today".
What you can do is think every day at night about what you'll be eating for breakfast tomorrow morning, the vanilla yogurt you just bought, or your favorite cereal, or maybe some toast with the low-sugar, low-fat natural strawberry jam you bought at the new deli down the street? Or how about mixing vanilla yogurt with oatmeal and a teaspoon of honey for sweetness? Getting creative and thinking about what you're going to eat tomorrow will help you get excited about your food choices the next day and help you stay motivated. It also allows you to think about the "bargains" and benefits and gives you a reason to look forward to your next meal.
The reason this way of thinking really works is that many people are naturally excited when they think about food, and this can help the creative juices flow so that you aren't eating the same boring diet foods every day!
Believing in what you're going to eat each day will help you stick to your diet plan, and understanding the foods you eat will help you plan better, healthier meals each day that you're excited about.!
3. Make sure you are eating a balanced diet, eating enough fruits and vegetables, and getting enough nutrients.
We strongly recommend that you eat a balanced diet. It is important to eat the right foods in the right amounts, as this allows your body to get the right amount of vitamins and minerals it needs.
When you are trying to lose weight and control your portion sizes, you may not be able to eat the right amount of food to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs. A high-quality supplement is a great addition to your healthy eating plan and "fills the nutritional void" in your body.
Some health supplements are rich in nutrients and fiber, taste great, are generally low in calories, and keep you full longer. They are perfect for snacks or as a meal replacement. However, remember that supplements and foods such as healthy smoothies cannot replace a healthy eating plan! It should be considered an excellent combination needed for a healthy eating plan and a healthy lifestyle.
4. Exercise and physical activity
Always remember that losing weight requires a lifestyle change. A quick lifestyle change can lead to short-term success, but long-term failure if you lose motivation or if it becomes "too hard.
Start with small changes, such as walking to the grocery store, taking a walk around the neighborhood or in the park once a week, or taking a weekly dance class. Do something fun that you enjoy and get creative! This keeps your new "commitment" from becoming a boring "commitment" that you really want to keep. The first step to an active lifestyle may be difficult, but soon enough you will shed the pounds and feel more energized than ever.
5. Be practical and persistent
With fresh ideas, good food choices, healthy eating, fun workouts and lots of energy, the last thing you need is patience and discipline. You may not see those pounds disappear in a week, but if you consistently follow a healthy lifestyle and make good food, nutrition, and exercise choices, you'll see your weight drop and stay off.
As you work tirelessly to reach your weight loss goals, take advantage of this life-changing journey to look better and healthier. Once you change your lifestyle, you'll feel great and can continue to live a healthy life and look great. Enjoy editing, trying new foods, and discovering entirely new foods and healthier offerings. It's a lifestyle change you'll never regret.
Low GI foods are good because it takes the human body longer to process complex carbohydrates, fiber, nutrients, healthy oils, and non-fried foods.
When trying to lose weight and control portion sizes, it is not always possible to eat the amount of food needed to provide your body with all the nutrients it needs. It should be considered an excellent and vital combination with a healthy diet and lifestyle.
