Best Weight Loss Programs - Tactics That Work!

Looking to lose weight and want to find the best solution?
Have you tried every trick in the book and still struggled
to lose those unwanted pounds?

I have been in your shoes. I know how it is to exercise
regularly, eat right and lose most of the weight, but it's
hard to lose those last few stubborn pounds. It's possible
to break past this barrier, and I will teach you how.

For starters, I don't want you to make dramatic changes in
your lifestyle. Instead, I want to to improve on some of
the things that you are doing already. It's hard to
introduce new habits, and a a lot easier to change or
modify existing ones.

That's exactly what my 12 step solution is all about. Try
these simple and effective tactics to supercharge your
weight loss efforts. Do the best you can and don't try and
do it all at one time.

1. Become more positive and receptive to new weight-loss
ideas. Because permanent weight-loss success begins not
with the measuring cup but the mind, take a minute to
explore your reasons for wanting to lose weight. Just
fitting into a smaller dress size is not enough. What then?
That's when the weight creeps back. A healthy weight
should be a part of your mindset. It's not just about
looking better or fitting into smaller clothes but about
being healthier and maintaining a healthy lifestyle of the
rest of your life. This is easier said than done. It takes
some practice. Ask yourself WHY do you want to lose weight?
Can you zero in on a better reason than a smaller dress
size? Sure, you want to look good, but you want to feel
good, too, right? That is what will keep you motivated for
a lifetime.

2. Write everything down. Take a journal and make a note of
how much you exercise, what you are eating, your successes
and your failures.Write down what you eat, and check it
against a calorie counter every night for the next two
weeks. For many people, this is all it takes to wake up and
reverse a lifetime of bad habits. This may sound silly but
it's one of the best weight-loss tactics in the world. I
have heard several instances where clients eat a healthy
salad but sprinkle itwith so much dressing that you end up
with a 500 calorie meal. Once you start seeing how many
calories there are in what you're eating, you'll know which
foods to cut back on or eliminate.

3. Become more active. This is my favorite tip. Exercise
is the single strongest predictor of you ability to lose
weight - and keep it off. Yes, exercise burns calories,
increases your metabolism and energy, and develops lean
muscle mass. But just as important, exercise catapults your
self-esteem, which makes you more likely to do other things
to take care of yourself, like eat less. Get moving means
strength training AND aerobic conditioning.

4. Resist that first bite especially for the foods you
love. You've heard it before: everything is okay in
moderation. But face it: there are certain foods you simply
can't eat moderately. If one cookie or a handful of chips
is never enough, it's best just to avoid these foods
altogether. If you've spent your entire adult life trying
to eat a little of certain foods and failing, that is your
signal to just forget it and don't even take a bite.

5. Drink more water. Most people complain "I hate water."
"It's soooo boring. There's no taste!" "I can't drink too
much or I'll waste my day in the bathroom." "I know I have
to drink more water. I just keep forgetting about it." You
know you need at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. You
need to understand why water is so important. Yes, it fills
you up. It controls your appetite. Did you know that it
also aids in metabolizing fat? your liver is busy
metabolizing fat and ridding your body of toxins. Water
helps to get rid of toxins. If you're not drinking enough
water, you have more toxins in your body, compromising the
liver's ability to metabolize fat. You need water on hand
for fat metabolism.

6. Reduce 100 calories from your diet every day. Make a
commitment to cut 100 calories a day from your diet and
replace it with an activity that burns 100 calories. It's
easier to pinpoint the 100 with the journal I talked about
earlier. If you did nothing else, you'd lose 10 lb. at the
end of a year. A few activities that burn 100 cals are 1/2
hr. of walking, 20 minutes of swimming, or even dancing
around your living room.

7. Eat fruits and vegetables every day. These have a
powerful effect on sugar cravings. Plus, they're low in
calories, fill you up with fiber, and pack a powerful
nutritional punch.

8. Start training with weights. More muscle means more
calories burned, even at rest. The key to permanent weight
loss.

9. Eat more fibre. Fiber-rich fruits and veggies are great
nutritional fare, since they fill you up without adding too
much fat or too many calories. But increasing fiber intake
could actually reduce the amount of calories absorbed by
the body, too.

10. Spread your calories out over the course of the day.
The typical American eats light during the day, and heavier
at night. Yikes! By the time you get to dinner, your
metabolism has gotten sluggish, which means a greater
number of calories will be stored as fat. It's even worse
if you're not active after dinner. Eat larger meals during
the day, and have a light dinner.

11. Change Your Shopping Style When I go grocery shopping I
can take one look at someone's shopping cart and make some
basic assumptions about their lifestyle. If you want to
lose weight your grocery shopping habits must improve.
Thin starts at the grocery store. Before you hit the
checkout lane, review your selections and dump any sugary,
fatty treats and snacks. Your family may complain but they
will get used to it.

12. Mix up your workouts. Crosstraining is the key to
success. It is said the definition of insanity is to do the
same thing over and over again and yet expect the same
results. The same applies to fitness. You can't expect to
do the same exercise, at the same intensity week after week
and continue to see results. The body must be 'shocked' to
respond with results. As long as the exercise is
unpredictable and varied or manipulated every two weeks you
will continue improving and losing weight.
