Safe Weight Loss

June 8, 2010 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

The best way to have safe weight loss is to lose weight gradually; no more than 2 pounds a week is recommended. This way you will be more likely to keep it off. Fad diets and diet pills can help you lose weight faster, but the problem is you gain it right back and end up in a yo-yo gain and lose cycle that is discouraging and unsafe.

Consequently, unless your health is seriously at risk due to complications with obesity gradual weight loss should be your goal. In fact, you should have short term doable goals each day. For example, one day drink only water, the next eat only healthy snacks, another eat smaller portions and so forth. As a result, you will form healthier eating habits.

In addition, your safe weight loss plan should include some form of physical activity. Preferably, one you enjoy. If you enjoy the activity you won’t dread the thought, but will instead look forward to it. You can do something fun like dancing which you can do at home or join a class. Then there’s always sports or recreational activities like cycling, skiing, flying kites, swimming etc.

There are also benefits to safe weight loss such as:

* Reduces risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes
* Improves mobility, breathing, sleep and energy level
* Lowers cholesterol, high blood pressure

Not to mention, the psychological benefits which are:

* Alleviates stress and anxiety
* Lessens depression and anger
* Boosts self esteem

As you can see safe weight loss really can make a difference in your overall well being. Therefore, right now, today, set a doable goal, one that you KNOW you can do. Then DO IT! Don’t put it off with another ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ then tomorrow never comes.

The sooner you begin the sooner you lose weight. NO ACTION = NO WEIGHT LOSS!! I’m sure you know this, however, you may need a little coaxing soooo why are you waiting?
