Weight Loss Solutions - 5 Tips To Accelerate Your Weight Loss

By Erin Newman


Every day, we see celebrities on tv who have lost a ton of weight almost overnight. We rush out and buy the product hoping to achieve the same results. These ads are designed to make you believe their product is the miracle solution you have been waiting for but, the truth is there is no fast fix for weight loss. Regardless of what product or system you decide on you are going to have to put in work to get results.

Believe You Can Do It

One of the major fundamentals for successful weight loss is belief in yourself.

Belief is an important part of the weight loss equation. It is just as important as healthy eating and exercise because it is what keeps you going when times get tough. The chances of you successfully completing a weight loss program without believing strongly that you can are slim to none.

Prior to beginning your weight loss journey, take a minute to find the reason that you want to lose weight and write it down. Now that you have your reason why you want to lose weight, set a goal for the amount of weight you would like to lose and commit to doing whatever it takes to hit it. Promise yourself that you will not quit until you accomplish your goal.

Staying on track is going to require you to stay positive. Feed your mind daily with motivational quotes, affirmations and the success stories of other people who have successfully lost weight. If you have one bad day don't let it discourage you. Just dust it off and get right back on track.

The beginning of any weight loss program is usually pretty tough. This is because you are doing the right things but not seeing immediate results. If you give it time and stick with it for a solid month or two you will start to see your energy level skyrocket, the scale drop and your body take on a whole new form. This is when it starts to get easier because you like what you see and want to make it even better.

Drink At Least 8 Glasses Of Water

Water is necessary to keep the body functioning properly.

Sipping on water throughout the day is a great way to alleviate snacking because it helps to keep you full between meals.

When your body is being properly hydrated, it will alleviate the bloating feeling because it can release the water it has been storing.

Drinking a glass before each meal will help you to eat less and lose more.

Get Active

For successful and long term weight loss exercise needs to be a part of the equation. Weight loss can be accomplished without exercise but when you add in exercise it tend to bring faster and longer lasting benefits.

If exercise intimidates you, start out with something simple like walking. Do whatever exercise you want as long as it motivates you to get up off the couch and start moving.

Any amount of exercise is beneficial but for maximum results you should strive to exercise at least 5 days a week.

When you feel ready for more advanced workouts, aerobic workouts such as Zumba or Hip Hop Abs may be a good choice. These work outs tend to burn a lot of calories, helping you to lose weight and tone up.

Remember exercise is not only key for weight loss but it also helps to improve your overall health.

Change How You Eat

Eating smaller meals more frequently will help increases your energy, stabilizes your blood sugar and boost your metabolism.

If your goal is to take in no more than 1500 calories per day you have to make sure all your small meals combined do not exceed this number.

If you are stretched for time and feel you do not have time to plan and prepare 6 meals each day, prepare three and divide each one in half to get your 6 small meals.

Do Not Deprive Yourself Of Sleep

When your body is deprived of sleep it affects the amount of ghrelin in your system. This hormone causes an increase in appetite when the body is not getting the amount of sleep that it requires.

To keep your body functioning at optimal levels you should try and get a minimum of 7 hours sleep each night.

To improve your quality of sleep do not drink caffeine based drinks, workout or eat at least 3 hours before bed time.

When used on a regular basis these 5 tips can help you lose the weight and live a healthier lifestyle.
