Making Simple Diet Changes To Lose Weight

Trying to lose weight can seem like a very difficult task. If you’ve tried weight loss before without success, you’ll know just how hard it can be to make changes and stick to them. Many people struggle to balance their weight loss efforts with the things that are going on in their life. If you’re struggling to lose weight, a few simple changes may be able to help you get started on the right path.



Instead of jumping into a full blown weight loss journey, try to make a few small changes that could really make a difference. A good, simple change is to not drink your calories. During the day, many people reach for coffees, teas, or sodas. Instead of adding all of those unneeded calories, switch to drinking more water. Depending on the amount of drinks that you normally drink, you could save over 500 calories each day just by reaching for water. Switching to water can also save you a lot of money as it is normally less expensive than sodas, teas, and coffee.



If you’re trying to lose weight, try to avoid eating out. If you frequently grab takeout on your way home from work, a lot of your weight may be caused by that. Many people say that they don’t always have the time to cook a large dinner once they’ve gotten home from work. This can be avoided by planning out your meals well. If there are certain days where you generally arrive home later than usual, have something premade for dinner, such as a salad that you mixed up a few days ago. Not all of your meals need to be five-course dinners. Take the time at the beginning of each week to create a meal plan that you can stick to.



Changing the way that you prepare food can help you with your weight loss goal. If you’re used to frying your chicken, give baking or grilling a shot. If you’re used to using a lot of butter or cheese on your vegetables, try to find other ways to prepare them. There are many spices that can be added to your veggies to make them taste great without butter or cheese. You should also keep an eye on the amount of salt that you’re adding to your food. Many people reach for the salt anytime something seems bland. Instead of adding extra salt, try to find seasoning and spices that you could add to give your food more flavor. If you’re used to using ground beef for hamburgers or spaghetti, give ground turkey a try. It’s mostly fat free and can taste great when prepared correctly.



Losing weight isn't just about how fast you can get the weight off. It’s about making lifestyle changes that you can stick to. For this reason, many people to make huge diet changes tend to go back to their old way of eating in a short amount of time. By making small changes, you increase your success rate of losing the weight and keeping it off.

Optimal Weight Loss

While weight loss may be a sensitive issue for some, there are some key questions that you have to answer for yourself before your start. Losing weight begins with the right motivation, and if you don’t have a good reason to, then why should you? When beginning on your weight loss journey you should be able to answer these essential questions-



Why?

Why do you want to lose weight? Are you sick of carrying the extra baggage? Is it a medical concern? Are you doing it for someone else like your best friend or your children? All of these are relevant and important to answer before you begin losing weight. If you do not have a clear answer to your “why” then it will be harder to stay motivated to lose and keep it off.



Where?

Where do you want to lose weight? Are you looking for full body toning, or just working on a particular area of your body. Do your research! There are a plethora of online workouts that target specific areas of your body. If you are willing to spend a little extra, order a good program with a diet plan. One of my most recent programs I have been testing out is Beach Bodies Brazilian Butt Lift. It not only targets your buttocks, but your core, legs, and arms as well. Its super fun and easy to follow!



How?

How are you going to lose? Get online and continue researching. One important key that I have learned over the past few years when it comes to losing weight is that diet is an essential key. My personal trainer told me that it attributes to 80% of weight loss. That’s a lot!

Don’t be intimidated by this thought, diet plans are easy to come by online. One of my favorite online diet plans is from Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit. Not only does he lay out what you should be eating each day but also offers a weekly shopping list for everything that you need to make your meals. The best part is, he offers a diet plan AND work out plan for both men and women!



Get motivated!

Once you have these question answered make a dream board. For those of you who are not familiar with this term, a dream board is a cluster of pictures and phrases that represent your dreams you would like to see come true. Don’t limit yourself to just pictures though—get creative by hanging up a swimsuit you would like to see yourself in. Buy that killer dress or pair of jeans you’ve always wanted and get those up there as well. Sooner or later you will be there, at your dream weight, feeling on top of the world.



A dream board is not the only route to take. In fact, one of my favorite ways to keep me motivated is by updating my music for my workouts. I am telling you, with the right music, you can move mountains.



All of these questions are essential to losing weight. You have to be able to answer them for yourself before you begin, otherwise it’s like rowing a boat on sand. You won’t get anywhere!
