Even slight weight reduction is associated with major health benefits such as reductions in blood pressure, improved cardiac efficiency, reduction in back, knee and ankle pain, increased energy, improved blood sugar levels, and reduction in the aging process.  Weight loss does require consistent effort and that is why so many fail.  Following are some ways to lose weight over the next year, hopefully you can work one or two into your life and receive the above benefits!

 

1.  Increase food protein into you diet to about 20%, spread throughout the day to increase satiety, that is about 90 grams of:

lean meat, cottage cheese, eggs, yogurt, almonds , or beans.

Protein will tend to stay with you longer and stoke your metabolism, so it is a good choice in weight loss diets.

 

2. Eat Breakfast: yeah you've heard this before but this is the number one way to wake up a sluggish metabolism, increase your energy, keep your blood sugars stable and reduce overeating later in the day.

 

3. Snack: Eating small amounts throughout the day reduces deprivation, and makes metabolism more efficient, speeding up the weight loss process.

 

4. Sleep More: Folks tend to eat more and metabolism slows when you are overtired.  Adding an appropriate amount of rest that your body requires makes a huge difference in the weight loss area over time.

 

5. Eliminate Diet Soda, I have seen time and time again that people who drink diet soda, tend to crave more high sugar foods and experience more blood sugar imbalances, and fatigue than those that avoid them.

 

6. Exercise in the AM: People who exercise in the morning hours tend to be more successful than those who do so later in the day in both exercise and diet areas.  By making a commitment early in the day people tend to remain consistent which is key.

 

7. Solve digestive problems: If one's body is not digesting or absorbing nutrients properly, weight gain is often the result.  I often see weight loss as a side benefit of my treatments for digestive disorders and it is often nearly effortless because the body is using food as fuel rather than storing calories as fat.

 

8. Solve Food Allergy problems: Ditto, as above if people have food allergies, their systems and metabolism become sluggish, and their energy and vitality is impacted. Taking the problem foods away is nearly miraculous in dropping several pounds, puffiness and bloat.

 

9. Burn Fat:  Once body fat reaches a high level it is difficult to lose weight without assistance.  Don't despair...schedule a visit to find a solution you can live with!!!

 

10. Intensify Workouts: After a point, your body just may not be working hard enough...if you are not perspiring after 10 minutes pick up the intensity until you are.
