Top 10 Weight Loss Tips


As you start off on your weight loss program, it’s going to be essential that you’re not only paying attention to what you must do on the workout side of things but also being mindful of the foods you’re consuming on a daily basis.
Without a doubt if you aren’t watching what you’re eating you won’t see the same calibre of results as you regularly would so this is a must to spend some time on.
Let’s quickly go over 10 weight loss tips that you can start using immediately to boost your results as you reach towards that end goal.

Create Balance Between Weights and Cardio

The very first thing you should always aim to do is find a good balance between weights and cardio training. Relying too much on cardio training will quickly come at the expense of strength gains and could eventually lead to overtraining as well. Unfortunately since many women do tend to prioritise cardio training, this is precisely what happens. Remember, strength training will actually make you look leaner and more toned, but it will not make you look bulky.
Women simply do not have the levels of hormones in their body to support this type of growth.

Begin The Day With Fibre

Second, always be sure that you start your day off with some fibre. This will help keep you feeling full throughout the morning and slow the release of carbohydrates into the blood stream.

Add Vegetables To All Main Dishes

Looking for a quick way to add more food to your diet without boosting the calories? Start eating more vegetables. These are virtually calorie free and will add plenty of bulk to your dish so you feel satisfied on fewer calories.

Focus On Shortening Up Your Rest Periods

One simple strategy to increase the calorie burn of your workouts is to make sure that you’re keeping those rest periods shortened. If you’re taking longer than one minute between your sets, chances are you’re dragging the workout on longer than it has to be. Aim to keep everything short and snappy.

Avoid Additional Sauces Or Condiments

One place where many people fall trap to is sauces and condiments. As much as possible try and have your foods in their natural states. This will allow you to better control calories and keep added sugar and fat down.

Make Sleep A Priority

Think you can sleep when you’re older? Think again. If you want to maintain a slim waistline, sleep needs to be a priority. If you’re not getting enough sleep at night your body is going to release more of a certain hormone called cortisol, which actually encourages stomach fat accumulation. Aim for at least seven hours a night, if not eight.

Swap Coffee For Green Tea

When it comes to waking up in the morning, try green tea rather than coffee. Both provide a source of caffeine to your diet but green tea is also going to help increase your metabolism and improve your weight loss results. Plus, it tastes great.

Find A Workout Buddy

One of the best ways to increase your motivational levels to continue with your workout program is to find a workout buddy. When you know you have someone counting on you to show-up, you’ll automatically make working out a higher priority.
Get a girlfriend and make it a contest where whoever reaches their goal first gets a day at the spa.

Look At Your Goals Daily

Another smart move to keep yourself motivated is to make sure that you review your goals daily. By reading them every morning when you wake up you’ll ensure that your mind stays fixated on what you’re looking to accomplish.

Boost Your Protein

Finally, the last weight loss tip that you must put in place is to boost your protein intake. Since protein causes the body to burn off the most calories just digesting it, by including it in your diet you can automatically see a nice metabolic increase. Many women do fall short in protein, so this is something to really focus in on.
So keep these weight loss tips in mind. If you can include even just a few of them you should see a noticeable change in your progress level.
