I have heard a lot of people say “I need to lose weight”. I have heard my friends say this often enough. And yes, I have said it twice as much. All the articles I read on losing weight and diet programs just seem to be too much bother for me, or too much for my purse. There’s just too much involved in losing weight. I sometimes envy other friends who, no matter what or how much they eat, never gain an inch of weight in years. Since we all know that not everyone is blessed with that kind of metabolism at any age, some have to really struggle with weight gain.
Good thing, I found 25 practical ways to lose weight. The article on the USA Today website is perfect for people like you and me who need to lose the weight without going through all the hassle and effort. The 25 practical tips and ways to lose weight were drawn up by registered dieticians. They are the following: Dawn Jackson Blatner, Elizabeth Ward, Bonnie Taub-Dix, and Keith Ayoob. Their tips are really helpful. They are actually very simple. No need for yearly subscriptions to the gym, strict food group diets, or anything else that puts a dent in your pocket.
As a whole, the list subtly tells us to instill all the practical tips into our everyday life in order to keep the weight off. Needless to say, it can surely help us live a healthier lifestyle. One practical tip I am using right now is tip # 5 that simply says, “Move it to lose it.” It’s common sense. Now, I make sure to spend at least some good thirty minutes on a bike to perspire. Also, I take a couple of minutes to walk and enjoy the fresh air. I find that “moving” not only helps me feel lighter, it also makes me feel so much better.
In my opinion, the most important thing to remember about weight loss is our attitude. We hold the key in anything that we do. We know our body better than anybody else. If we take the time to discover what our body needs and address the ‘problems’, then there is no way that we cannot conquer.
