7 Steps To a Guaranteed Healthy Weight Loss - By: Fortune Eze

Losing weight is one of the hardest things to do. I have fought that thought for years as I want to lose weight and most of all keep it off. I do not want to diet because after dieting the weight comes right.

I started searching because I know there must be a way a genuine and healthy way to lose weight and keep it off without spending tons of money, dieting, surgery, starving, or working out 24 hours, well there is such a way and I found it.

This list below will let you lose weight and keep it off.

1. Your Mind: It is correct to say that the mind is the most power of all gifts and it is free but we use it loosely. What ever your mind can conceive you can achieve. Know that what you want to do (lose weight) is not easy but it is very achievable people like you do it all the time you only need to truly make up your mind no matter what to do it. Constantly see yourself the way you want to look after the weight is gone and do not lose focus of that picture because that is you from the point you made up your mind. Write down the reasons why you want to lose weight and constantly remind yourself why you want to do it. Just to remind you that there have been few things in your life that you’ve had to do and you have been able to achieve them could be going to school, raising your kids, working, your job, riding bicycle, something you thought was impossible at first until you have made up your mind, you know what it is you need to go through that process again. Spend more time making up your mind before you start. You see I even spent more time here writing about this because of its importance.

2. Your Meal Portion: The idea here is to boost your metabolism and the best way to do that is to eat often but small quantity regardless of what it is although some foods are better than others and will help you faster. This process tricks the body to produce more chemical needed to break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates into energy needed to fuel all body functions. Now that we have and use more energy than what we take in we end up using more of the stored fat which results in weight loss.

3. Watch What You Eat: After you eat the body releases enzymes to break down proteins into amino acids, fats into fatty acids, and carbohydrates into simple sugar. All these are used as energy sources by the body when needed. Eating more sugar will throw you metabolic process into a fat storage mode because it has enough from the carbohydrates and the stored fat already.

4. Drink enough water: The body needs at least 64 ounces of water daily to stay well hydrated which is very essential to flush the toxic byproducts of used body energy. Water is also needed for the metabolic process to work effectively in distribution of nutrients and finally water may help you cut your portion by making you full.

5. Exercise: Every little bit of exercise counts because the body uses that energy. The ideal is between 45 to 60 minutes of exercise three to four times a week and this could be simple walking or cycling, remember the more you can do the better it is for you. Park your car further away and walk to the store if you can’t find time to exercise.

6. Get Enough Sleep: You need at least 7 hours of sleep to lower cortisol a hormone that regulates appetite. Individual that do not sleep well may continue to feel hungry even after adequate food intake. Secondly, loss of sleep will increase fat storage because it interferes with the ability of the body to metabolize carbohydrate which leads to high level of blood sugar.

7. Do Not Sleep Immediately After Eating: Give you body at least 3 hours after you eat to metabolize the food, if you can use some of those energy before going to bed the better. Every thing you do after your dinner counts, three hours of activity before bed is ideal.
