The Basics for Dieting to Lose Weight
This article explains just two very basic steps to your losing weight the right way.
These two steps will shed the pounds and they won't come back, if you keep this up.
STEP NUMBER 1 - make the time for yourself to jog or to do some kind of exercise that will burn those extra calories.
Spending 30 minutes every other day on this cardio workout, is great.
Watch how your body responds to only this one step.
If you get ready to do something on the next planned workout day and your body is pretty sore where you are hurting, you may give yourself one more day to prevent injuries.
The key here is to protect yourself, but don't be TOO easy on yourself either.
NO pain means no gain, but pain should be considered as a warning so you don't push yourself into a physical injury.
If you get injured and it stops you from doing anything to burn more than the average calories, you will lose all your momentum while your body heals itself.
It's much better to take that extra day or so to fully heal the tired muscles.
Pushing your body, at the same time, is a GREAT way to lose fat and build great lean muscle.
Unless you are upping the time, speed or strength of your workouts over the weeks, you'll begin to notice that they won't make you sore or tired anymore.
This means it's time to turn it up a notch.
You want to push to the point of sourness or fatigue but shy of physical breakdowns and injuries.
This is mostly acquired by being AWARE of what your body is telling you and learning from experience.
STEP NUMBER 2 - The second focus step, will be what you put in your body.
This is about food awareness.
Changing up the stuff that your body uses to foods that burn and breakdown more efficiently can produce night and day weight loss results.
Just continuing to eat what you are eating now is not going to get most of you there.
Think about it, if you want to lose weight and make changes, it's mostly BECAUSE of what you've been taking into your body, you MUST change it.
I want to give you examples that you can apply now.
Try these:
Losing weight is not that hard, it is a matter of changing your habits of eating and moving.
Changing these two habits requires motivation, decide how motivated you are to have that better body and if it is enough you will follow these given guidelines.

Think about it, if you want to lose weight and make changes, it's mostly BECAUSE of what you've been taking into your body, you MUST change it.
I want to give you examples that you can apply now.
Try these:
- Eat your breakfast.
Breakfast helps you keep your day-time energy high and it keeps your metabolism sped up for the full day.
This will be the one meal you don't want to pass on, it's an instant metabolism increaser. - Eat some snacks or munches spread evenly between meals through your day.
Chance are good, that you are going to eat less during the main meals when you snack, controlling your weight much better.
Just make sure that your snacks are low in calories, sugars and carbs.
Or better yet, instead of trying to make sure of all these details, just search for examples of healthy snacks on the internet.
You can get a nice sized list in hours, shop for everything you like on those lists and mix it up for variety. - DON'T SKIP YOUR 3 MAJOR MEALS - Then to add to your results, when you are having dinner, a well portioned meal that breaks down easier, such as salad, will help you to prepare your body for night.
It also helps with keeping you from having those cravings later in the evening or during the night. - The best dinners or foods you can eat are anything high in carbohydrates and low in fat.
Carbohydrates, contrary to believe will actually help you sleep better and give you more energy the next morning.
The catch is not to eat carbs within a few hours of going to sleep.
Good for dinner if you eat dinner many hours before you go to sleep.
Losing weight is not that hard, it is a matter of changing your habits of eating and moving.
Changing these two habits requires motivation, decide how motivated you are to have that better body and if it is enough you will follow these given guidelines.
