Weight-loss Time: How do You Fit it All In?

August 28th, 2008 | admin | Fat Loss and Weight Loss Advice

In our culture, it is constantly weight loss time. We are told we have to count calories, fats, carbohydrates, glasses of water, activity minutes, heart rates etc, etc. How on earth do you fit it all in?

Relax. There are many easy ways to make your weight loss time effective without stressing about it. Here are some easy tips for you.

1. Remember that you don’t have to do it all. Pick one or two weight loss tips that seem to fit your lifestyle and needs. For example, resolve to drink one more glass of water and to walk for 10 minutes daily. Later on, in the weeks and months ahead, add another glass of water and another walk, as your time allows.

2. Save the technical stuff. While it can be nice to know your Body Mass Index (BMI) or the exact glycemic index (GI) number of every food you eat, it won’t help you if you end up obsessing over it. If this data truly helps you to eat or exercise in a healthy way, then go ahead. Otherwise, just focus on simple, real-world methods.

3. Set a reasonable goal. If your weight loss time coincides with a special event, such as a wedding or class reunion, then make reasonable plans. If your class reunion is next week, you will not lose those 50 lbs in time. Your best bet is to try to lose no more than five pounds to make that slightly-snug outfit fit a little bit better. Otherwise, you would be wiser to shop for an outfit and hairstyle that make you look your best right now.

4. Don’t be just a weekend warrior. Some people think that weight loss time only happens on the weekends. They huff and puff at the gym all weekend, then sit around eating junk food the rest of the week. On the other hand, some people starve themselves all week, and then pig out Friday night through Sunday. If you are committed to dropping pounds, weight loss time is 24/7.

5. Remember that it’s all just numbers. Unless you are trying to lose weight because of a serious medical condition, most weight loss efforts are just a numbers game. If you want to drop pounds mainly to look and feel better, don’t worry so much about your clothing size or your resting heart rate. No one can see those numbers, nor do they really care. As long as your clothes fit and your vital statistics are in a healthy range, you are doing fine.
