TIPS FOR STARTING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

TIPS FOR STARTING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY

With the multitude of diet programs out there, finding the best way to lose weight can seem like a daunting task. Ignore the hype and start on the path to healthy, sustainable weight loss with simple lifestyle changes.

These are all proven weight loss methods that work well for my friends and customers!

SET GOALS

Begin by figuring out how much weight you want to lose and when youd like to meet your final goal. Be realistic with your estimations to avoid falling into the trap of crash dieting.

 

Rapid weight loss can be dangerous and is likely to result in the loss of lean muscle tissue in addition to fat. Instead, aim for a steady, gradual reduction of about two pounds per week.

GET A SUPPORT GROUP

Whether its a group on Facebook, a local weight loss group, a fitness club or a few friends that will be there for you when the going gets tough, find someone you can talk to as you work toward your weight loss goals.

Positive feedback keeps you motivated to stick with your program no matter what distractions you might face.

EAT WELL

Dramatic changes help you achieve dramatic results, so ditch the junk food, stop the soda and overhaul your diet with plenty of fresh, unprocessed foods. A diet composed of vegetables, fruits, legumes, nut and seeds not only promotes healthy weight loss but also protects against a variety of chronic diseases.

Remember that eating too little can be as bad as eating too much. Your body needs a good balance of nutrients to function properly, so be sure to eat enough calories every day to keep your metabolism humming along.

TRAIN SMART

A combination of strength training and cardiovascular exercise promotes the development of lean muscle mass while helping you shed fat. Engaging in a diverse routine also boosts metabolism to help you burn more calories even when youre not exercising.

You can wear your V-Belt when you workout to get faster results and enhance your overall appearance.

For best results, work your way up to one hour of exercise per day, alternating between muscle groups for each workout. Take one day of rest per week to give your body time to recover.

GET SOME SHUT-EYE

Operating on a sleep deficit can lead to imbalances in the hormones that control appetite. Arrange your schedule to ensure seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to support your weight loss goals.

BEWARE OF GIMMICKS

Although whole, healthy foods are gaining ground with consumers, the diet industry still rakes in billions of dollars every year from people looking for a quick weight loss fix.

The truth is, no overnight diet or specific superfood will help you shed weight and keep it off. In fact, many of these fads do more harm than good. Youre better off sticking with a healthy program that consists of a wholesome diet and exercise that delivers long-term results. You can enhance your results and see changes faster by using the V-Belt and Gel-V as a supplement to your diet and exercise!
