With all the diets floating around that claim to result in losing 20+ pounds in a month, 1 pound per week might not sound worthwhile. But consider that 1 pound per week is over 50 pounds per year. How would you look and feel if you had started a year ago?
Try to perform at least one of these ideas each day:
1. Do Burst Training.
Exercising in quick bursts, specifically 30-60 seconds with a 3-4 minute break in between results in fat burning. Do 3-4 cycles of burst training a few times each week.
2. Reduce meal sizes when eating out.
Most people eat what is put in front of them. A great exercise for losing weight is pushing yourself away from the table at restaurants when you feel full.
3. Avoid drinking any calories.
It’s much easier to drink calories than it is to eat them and drinking calories has a huge impact on your blood sugar and waistline.
4. Replace rice and potatoes with vegetables.
You can almost eat just about as much vegetables as you want without gaining weight. Rice and potatoes (and other “white” foods) will impact your blood sugar and weight.
5. Skip the elevator and use the stairs.
Burn some extra calories by taking the stairs.
6. Drop all processed foods.
If you limit yourself to foods that at one time flew, swam, ran, grew in the ground, or on a tree or plant, it’s hard to be overweight. Manmade carbohydrates like bread, pasta, crackers, and candy make us gain weight.
7. Eat a salad before eating your meal.
Eating a large salad before your meal can help reduce cravings. Choose dark leafy greens with other raw vegetables.
8. Get up and move around for 5 minutes each hour.
Studies have shown that you’ll actually get more work done if you take a short break each hour. Take a short walk or pick up a dumbbell.
9. Do something else for 15 minutes.
When you first get the urge to eat, find something else to do for 15 minutes. You might be surprised how much time goes by before you remember you were hungry.
10. Stand up.
More offices are moving to standing desks. It’s helpful for burning extra calories and keeping you more alert and focused. You could even try standing at home while watching television.
11. Replace a “bad food” with a “good food.”
Once each day, replace one food you’re about to eat with a healthier option.
12. Avoid eating while watching TV.
According to scientists, you’ll eat almost 300 calories more in front of the television than you will at the dinner table!
13. Sleep for a full 8 hours.
We burn fat when we’re sleeping and so sleep is absolutely essential to losing weight.
14. Check the labels.
You might be surprised how small a serving is for certain foods and/or exactly what is contained in your food that could be causing you to keep extra pounds.
Losing a pound per week can be easy and painless. By utilizing just one of these tips each day, you could find yourself 50 pounds lighter by this time next year. Summer is coming!
