This article is for those of us who need to lose a couple pounds, or more. If you are overweight, and completely happy with yourself, that is fantastic. If you’d like to lose a couple pounds, then stick around.
Any kind of big life changing goal like weight loss requires a solid plan. Just wishing for the pound to go away won’t usually work. And the first step is to choose a specific goal. How much do you want to lose, and when do you want to lose it? Don’t shoot too high, but don’t shoot too low, either. Try for about two or three pounds per week, for however many weeks it will take.
Next, is to make a subtle change in your eating habits. If you try and change too quickly, you won’t likely keep your new eating habits for very long. If you rely on willpower, you will likely fail. Most people can only generate enough willpower to last a week, at most.
The first battle will be against bad carbohydrates. Any sugars or simple carbs should be avoided. In their place try and eat grains, anything with fiber, and vegetables. Usually brown is better than white.
Next you want to focus on good fats versus bad fats. Good fats are the unsaturated kind, found in olive oil, fish and nuts. Bad fats are the saturated kind, found in most fried foods. Avoid these like the plague.
And of course, if you are serious about losing weight, you will want to include some kind of exercise program into your plan. The secret is to start small, and gradually build over time. If you start too quickly, you’ll likely give up. Many people make this mistakes, but many more don’t.
These two simple ideas, when combined pack a powerful punch. And by adding them slowly into your daily routine, you are giving yourself the best chance possible to lose weight, and keep it off for good.
