Tips for achieving weight loss

The following tips may work or not for some but will definitely be the healthy option.
As some a specific activity and nutritional program may be necessary, good luck with healthy eating.

1. Eat sensible. Ensure you get the right amount of nutrients by eating a wide range of fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fish, bread etc.
2. Choose lower fat foods. Foods that are high in fat are generally high in calories (fat has approx. 9 calories per gram, regardless of its type. Carbohydrate & protein have approx. 4 calories per gram. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram and is fattening!)
3. do not skip meals. Your body operates on 24-hour basis, even when sleeping. It works best when fed regularly and moderate amounts. Eating breakfast is the best way to start your day as this gets the metabolism kick started for the day.
4. Modify your cooking style. Grilling and baking meats (on rack) allows more fat to drip off your meat. Steam vegetables. Remove the skin from poultry before cooking.
5. Eat slowly, give your body time to realise it has been fed (there is about 20 minutes delay between you being full and your brain telling you. Pause between each bite. Try not to fill your fork until you’ve finished your last bite.
6. Become more active; increase your activity and burn calories while promoting lean tissue. It’s estimated that walking up 2 flights of stairs every day instead of using the lift would account for 6lbs of fat loss per year in the average man.
7. Do not expect overnight success! It is better to make small, sustained changes in your exercise and eating habits. Small changes that become part of your daily routine are more likely to show benefits over a period of time. Remember that it takes a long time to build up your extra inches; it will take some time to reduce them also.
