Healthy Eating Tips for Losing Weight

Follow these healthy eating tips and you could soon get closer to your weight loss goals. Losing weight isn't rocket science, in fact it is surprisingly easy once you know how.

1. Eat more starchy foods - many people think that starchy foods like potatoes, rice and pasta are fattening but they do actually contain fewer calories on a gram for gram basis than fat.

Choose wholegrain rice and pasta, eat your potato skins and try to include something starchy in every meal. You'll feel full for longer which will help to keep you from snacking later.

2. Eat plenty of fruit and veggies - the recommendation is to eat at least five portions of fruit and veg every day but realistically speaking how many people actually do that? Even with the best of intentions many people find it easier said than done.

Fruit juice can count as one portion just so long as it is 100% pure and unsweetened, apart from you can always chop a banana or sprinkle a few strawberries onto your breakfast cereal and reach for a piece of fruit for a mid morning snack instead of a cookie.

3. Eat plenty of fish - fish is good for you and is literally packed with protein, vitamins and minerals. You should try to eat fish at least twice a week with one of those being oily fish for the fantastic Omega 3 fats they provide.

There's a great choice of oily fish including salmon, trout, mackerel, fresh tuna, herring, pilchards and sardines. Frozen and canned fish does count but remember that some canned fishes have a high salt content, which leads to our next weight loss tip . . .

4. Cut down on the salt - even people who don't sprinkle salt over their plate can still be getting too much salt.

Many soups, breakfast cereals, breads and sauces have already got lots of salt added. Salt raises blood pressure and high blood pressure increases your chances of having a stroke or heart disease.

5. Eat breakfast - some people think that skipping breakfast will help them to lose weight but in actual fact this is very far from the truth. Eating breakfast is actually helpful for people who want to lose a few pounds.

Healthy breakfasts include whole meal cereals with a little sliced fruit and low fat milk, alternatively how about some whole wheat toast. Just eat something!

6. Drink plenty of water - this helps to stop us from becoming dehydrated.

We should drink more than a liter of fluid each day - water, fruit juices and milk all count but steer clear of sodas and fizzy drinks.

7. Cut out alcohol - if you seriously want to lose a few pounds then this is one important step - alcohol is laden with empty calories.

You get no goodness from it but it sure helps to pile on the pounds. If you do want to have an alcoholic drink you should choose a glass of wine over beer every time.

Following a few of these simple tips and guidelines really will help you to lose weight but remember that slowly, slowly is the key.

This is not a diet, it is subtle lifestyle changes which can help you to lose weight and keep it off.

How To Lose Weight Safely

With a society focused on celebrities and models, it can be easy to get discouraged with our own self-image. Not to mention there is a multitude of self help books promoting new diet fads, commercials advertising new weight loss supplements, and dangerous new procedures to help you lose weight. However, what is the best way to lose weight safely and keep it off?

Most doctors have stated that it is safe to lose up to three pounds per week at home by utilizing a healthy diet and exercise. This would eliminate those crazy diets in which you lose upwards of ten pounds in one week.

Losing weight is really quite simply a game of numbers. One pound is the equivalent of 3,500 calories- a normal individual burns roughly 2,000 calories a day in daily activities and bodily needs.

So if you eat less calories than your body uses, you lose weight. If you eat more calories than you body uses, you gain weight.

In theory, if you burn through exercise 500 more calories than what you are eating, after one week you could expect to lose up to 2 pounds.

If you wanted to lose weight a little quicker, you would just have to burn extra calories, or reduce the caloric intake through food.

Don't be fooled- some diets have you restrict your salt and starch intake for fast weight loss, but be aware this is mostly water weight and it will return.

When planning your diet, it is very important to continue eating balanced meals. Focus on eating mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meats and fishes, egg whites, and nonfat dairy foods.

Generally, try to minimize starches, additional sugars, and animal fats.

Here are some helpful hints: Try to eat a lot of vegetables- these will help to fill you up so you aren't tempted to fill up on junk food.

Drink a lot of water, especially before meals. Do not keep tempting foods in your house! Try to keep yourself occupied-if you get bored you will want to eat.

Stop the bad habits of eating on the couch in front of the television. This just encourages boredom eating. Only eat from a plate when you are sitting at the kitchen table.

Most importantly, do not try to cut calories by skipping meals- this only adds to weight gain by making your body feel as if it is in starvation mode.

If you continue to have a problem with weight loss, consider keeping a food diary and an exercise log to identify potential causes for failure.

Remember, losing weight is a healthy lifestyle change! Don't get discouraged if you do not see results right away!

In conclusion, even though there are many diet options out there, the most tried and tested methods are the best.

Stick to a good exercise routine and try to eat a healthy, balanced diet. This will have good results and you will feel better about yourself and your future as well.
