Weight loss is a decrease in body weight resulting from either voluntary (diet, exercise) or involuntary (illness) circumstances. Most instances of weight loss arise due to the loss of body fat, but in cases of extreme or severe weight loss, protein and other substances in the body can also be depleted. Examples of involuntary weight loss include the weight loss associated with cancer, malabsorption (such as from chronic diarrheal illnesses ), and chronic inflammation (such as with rheumatoid arthritis).
1. Here Are Some Great Weight
Loss Tips For Women To Help
Them Reach Their Goal
Everyone has a desire to rid themselves of their
weight as quickly as they can. I wish that I had a
magic wand that I could wave over every obese
person out there and his/her excess fat would be
gone forever. This simply is not the case. Here are
some easy to follow weight loss tips to help you
slowly and methodically get to your goal. So I hope
you enjoy reading these 9 weight loss tips.
Weight Loss Tips #1: Want It!
In order to be successful at weight loss you have to
want to lose the weight. You must commit to this
want, not just say that you want to lose the weight.
The best way to commit to losing weight is to make a
goal, write it down, then stick to it.
2. A goal does not have to be just about the weight you
lose or want to lose. You could write a goal using
your body measurements or percentage of body fast
lost, or it may be your desirable clothing size. Set
your goals in a way that they are attainable. For
example, I want to lose 15 pounds by Christmas or I
want to drop 2 dress sizes by my sister's wedding.

Once you have set your larger goals, you need to
set smaller ones to make sure you are on schedule
to achieving your long-term goal. Keep track of your
goals by using a weight loss chart, a food journal, or
an exercise chart. Keeping a journal is the best way
to track the foods you eat, the amount of water you
take in, the amount of daily exercise, and to daily
write out those goals. You can even track how you
are feeling throughout the day. This will help in
knowing whether you are eating because of a
3. particular mood or not. Keeping a journal is good
way to stay committed to your weight loss.
Weight Loss Tip #2: Keep it in the Kitchen
The of the worst habits that people have is not
eating at the kitchen table. They are either standing
to eat while doing other things or they are in front of
the television. Experts say that generally people who
eat while watching television eat larger servings of
food. Our focus is on what we are watching, not
what we are eating.
4. We need to move away from our family rooms and
back into the kitchen. During this time eat slowly and
spend some time with your family. Talk to the spouse
and children. Pay attention to what you are eating as
well as how much you are eating. When you eat
slower, your stomach will have the time needed to
signal you that you are full and you will not have
over-eaten and feel miserable.
Weight Loss Tip #3: Throw Out Temptation
In order to remain faithful to your weight loss regime,
you must remove all temptation from your cabinets,
freezer, and vehicle. Replace the candy and fatty
foods with the right foods. Sugar-free gelatin and
pudding is a wonderful way to take care of that
5. sweet tooth in a correct portion without adding a lot
of calories. Low-fat popcorn or low-fat flavored
popcorn is another wonderful replacement to fatty
snacks.

Try not to eat unhealthy snacks for a couple of
weeks. Keep a bag of crunchy vegetables, like
carrots handy to help with hunger. Most crunchy
veggies tend to satisfy you more and are lower in
calories.
Weight Loss Tip #4: Find Support
Weight loss is a challenge alone, but with a partner,
it will seem much easier. Look for a weight loss
support group on-line or a forum. Facebook even
has support groups. If you prefer, not to have
someone on-line then start your own support group
6. in your home or someone else's home. Otherwise,
all weight loss companies offer a support group or
sometimes a little one-on-one counseling.
Your support groups can include family, friends,
coworkers or even your neighbors. Your group could
be as large or as small as you like. Ask everyone
you know to support you in your weight loss
endeavors with some encouragement.
.Weight Loss Tip #5: Stop Bad Habits
Most learned or old habits are hard to break. It's time
we make a change. We do not have to eat
everything that is on our plate. Most of grew up
knowing that we must eat everything on our plates
because there are starving children in Africa. It is
okay to leave a little food on our plates every now
and again.
7. We need to listen to our bodies and stop eating
when we are full. We must eat smaller portions of
our food. We need to avoid having seconds. Try to
eat 6 small meals instead of three large ones. Eat
breakfast, have a morning snack, eat lunch, have an
afternoon snack, eat dinner, have an evening snack.
When you eat out at a restaurant either order from
the children's menu or ask when you order for the
waitress to bring you a to go box. When the food
8. arrives, place half or more of the food into the to go
box.

Weight Loss Tip #6: Add Variety
You need a little variety in your life. This goes for
food too. You will get bored eating the same thing
week in and week out. Once this boredom hits, you
will slip back into your old habits. Eat a little
something from each of the major food groups,
including fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, whole
grains, and fats.
In order to stay energized, eat five to six small meals
everyday. This also helps your metabolism. Eat a
protein with most meals, including eggs, beans, lean
cuts of meats as well as fish. We need to try to eat a
9. minimum of five servings and up to nine servings of
fruits and vegetables daily. If you are watching your
sugars, also watch the amount of fruit you are
consuming. You really need to eat more vegetables
than fruit. Also you need to eat a variety of both fruits
and vegetables. Don't just eat the same foods daily.
Remember the key is variety.
The bread, pasta, and cereal you consume needs to
be whole grain. If you have never had whole grain
pasta, then mix with regular pasta and gradually add
more and more whole grains until you are used to it.
It holds true for bread especially if you make your
own. The complex carbohydrates and high fiber in
whole grain bread and pasta help to speed up your
metabolism. The dairy products you consume should
be low-fat or fat-free.
Also make sure you are eating good fats, such as
olive or safflower oil. Your body needs a certain
amount of the good fats. Make sure that you read
your labels and stay away from foods that have
trans-fats. Trans-fats are extremely bad for you.
10. Weight Loss Tip #7: Satisfy the Sweet Tooth
On your weight loss journey there will be times when
you will crave something sweet. If you want it then
have a small piece of whatever you are craving. It is
better to have a small piece of it than ignoring your
craving and then bingeing because you have
deprived yourself from it for so long. Don't get into a
habit of eating this way daily though. It is okay to
give into the craving from time to time, but not daily.
Weight Loss Tip #8: Watch What You Drink
Of course the number one choice to drink is water
clean of chlorine. You need a minimum of six
glasses of good water. You can also drink green tea.
Consumption of green tea can help with weight loss.
Several people do not track or think about the
amount of calories in their beverages. A regular
flavored cola has more than 100 calories and 10
teaspoons of sugars. Fruit drinks are also high in
sugar and calories. Switch to diet drinks and drink
more green tea and water.
11. Beware of your alcohol consumption. Most alcoholic
drinks have lots of sugar and are high in calories.
Alcohol turns to fat and sugar in your body. Limit
how often you have a drink. Save it for special
occasions and try to consume lower calorie beer or
wine.

12. Weight Loss Tip #9: Get Active
Getting active is an import key to weight loss. We
need to get moving if we want to lose weight and
keep it off. However, sometimes when you start an
exercise program, you go from couch potato to
exercise fanatic. You want to gradually start the
exercise regime over time.
Start off with just walking. Walking takes no special
equipment other than a good pair of shoes. Walk at
a pace that is good for you and walk for twenty
minutes, three times a week. As time goes on, walk
a little faster and add more time. You can add
strength training twice a week. Start with something
light like two cans of soup then gradually move to
light hand weights.
Exercising will burn excess fat and calories. The
strength training helps build lean muscle mass. The
more lean muscle mass you have the more calories
you burn due to your higher metabolic rate.
