Easy Weightloss Techniques

In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized culture, maintaining a healthy weight can be tough—and losing weight, even tougher. If you’ve tried and failed to lose weight before, you may believe that diets don’t work for you. You’re probably right: most diets don’t work—at least not in the long term. However, there are plenty of small but powerful ways to avoid common dieting pitfalls, achieve lasting weight loss success, and develop a healthier relationship with food.

Do Exercises

Start with just a few minutes of exercise at a time. Any exercise is better than none, and that helps your body slowly get used to being active.

Your goal is to work up to half an hour most days of the week to get the full benefits from exercise. If it's more convenient, you can do short spurts -- 10 minutes here, 15 minutes there. Each action by itself may not seem like much, but they add up.

Following a low carb diet

A lot of people are initially hesitant to follow a low carb diet, since they assume that it is too restrictive. In reality, however, a large number of foods are allowed on the diet, including fish and seafood, meat, eggs, vegetables, nuts, seeds, high-fat dairy, healthy oils, fats and, on occasion, even tubers. 

  On the other hand, we avoid sugar, wheat and other grains, seed oils, trans fats, artificial sweeteners and all processed foods. This is a diet that comes much more naturally to us than the Standard American Diet, in which carbs and processed foods reign supreme, and will benefit most of us in the long run.

Weight Loss Diet

Focus on fresh fruits and veggies

·       Counting calories and measuring portion sizes can quickly become tedious, but you don’t need an accounting degree to enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables. It’s generally safe to eat as much as you want, whenever you want.

·       The high water and fiber content in most fresh fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat. You’ll feel full long before you’ve overdone it on the calories.

·       Eat vegetables raw or steamed, not fried or breaded, and dress them with herbs and spices or a little olive oil or cheese for flavor.

·       Add nuts and cheese to salads but don’t overdo it. Use low-fat salad dressings, such as a vinaigrette made with olive oil.

·       Pour a little less cereal into your morning bowl to make room for some blueberries, strawberries, or sliced bananas. You’ll still enjoy a full bowl, but with a lower calorie count.

·       Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices like lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado.

·       Instead of a high-calorie snack, like chips and dip, try baby carrots or celery with hummus.

·       Add more veggies to your favorite main courses to make your dish “go” further. Even dishes such as pasta and stir-fries can be diet-friendly if you use less noodles and more vegetables.

·       Try starting your meal with a salad or soup to help fill you up, so you eat less of your entrée.
