In the last issue, we talked about beginning your weight loss journey. In this issue, we are going to go over some of the ways you can cut calories and lose those extra pounds.

Everyone wants to feel and look their best. Many of us are carrying extra weight around and simply have given up trying to lose those extra pounds; but you can lose the weight and here are a few ideas to help you on your journey to feeling better and looking great as well.

Make raw foods, especially raw vegetables, a cornerstone of any weight-loss program. Cooking typically leaches vital nutrients and vitamins out of food. These losses are most evident with vegetables. Beyond the technical, nutritional benefits, a dieter will likely find that raw, fresh foods taste better than their canned, preserved or cooked counterparts do.

To help you lose weight you can learn to cook for yourself and your family. While there are many people who know how to cook they often opt for reheating pre-packaged foods, rather than preparing their own meals because they feel like it saves time. However, learning how to make simple and healthy meals doesn’t have to be difficult and it will help you reach your weight loss goals.

One important tip for sticking to your weight loss plan is to; prepare, perform, and practice!

Remember, weight loss doesn’t happen by accident, it takes mental effort and deliberate steps in order to achieve the results that you want. Overcoming inaction and stepping out into action is one of the hardest and most rewarding parts of getting fit. Once you start moving forward and setting goals, the rest will be easier.

It’s a good idea to stock up on cooking spices and herbs. Eating healthy while you are trying to lose weight doesn’t mean you only get to eat bland, tasteless foods. Make sure your spice rack is varied and well stocked. The right spices can make healthy foods taste as delicious as any high calorie alternative.

If you’ve reached a plateau in your weight loss, try something new. Shake up your routine a little bit. Take on a new workout routine, or experiment with different sports and activities that keep you moving while having fun as well. When you hit a plateau don’t worry, it will not last for long; occasionally everyone gets stuck at a certain point in their weight loss journey. The important thing is to keep moving, keep trying and the extra weight will come off.

Try taking the stairs if you are serious about losing weight. You might only burn a few extra calories, but it is still a good idea to take the stairs rather than the elevator whenever possible.

Weight loss requires dedication and may need many different methods to get the best results. Weight loss requires a multifaceted approach to get the best results. A person trying to lose weight must be committed to changing and acquiring new habits. You don’t have to exercise, the weight will still drop but you will also lose your muscle tone.

It’s a proven fact that muscle burns fat, so add an exercise regime to your weight loss program; begin slowly and add on minutes not hours and before you know it you will actually look forward to those workouts.

To keep an eye on your weight while dining out, always order the salad instead of other appetizers, which will almost invariably be high in fat. If the salad contains high-fat items, such as bacon and cheese, ask for them to be removed. Ask for the dressing to be served on the side, if they have no fat-free options. Dressing on the side is usually a good idea in any event, since you can dip your salad in the dressing and control how much of it you eat.

To cut back on costs while following a healthy eating plan, cook your meals from scratch. As I mentioned earlier, cooking homemade meals can be great for weight loss. Simply because many pre-packaged and restaurant foods are covered in butter or fattening sauces, that are much higher in calories than what you would make at home.

Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We will be talking about even more tips for a healthier lifestyle.
