Top 5 Weight Loss Hydration Tips

hen it comes to losing weight, hydration is an area that gets very little attention. However, many of the beverages people drink are what actually

prevent them from achieving their fat loss goals. That’s why in this section I’m going to be looking at the effect of hydration on weight loss and providing you with five of the best weight loss hydration tips.

Tip 1 – Drink at Least 8 Glasses of Water Per Day If you become dehydrated, your metabolism slows down, and this reduces the total amount of calories you burn each day. Therefore, if you want to avoid dehydration and maintain an optimal metabolic rate, you need to be drinking at least eight glasses of water on a daily basis.

Eight glasses may seem like a lot if you’re not used to drinking this amount of water, but it’s very manageable. If you drink a glass of water in the morning when you wake up, a glass of water in the evening and a glass of water with each meal, you’re already over half way there. Then if you drink a few cups of coffee or tea during the day in addition to these five glasses of water, you’ll easily pass the eight glass mark.

Tip 2 – Avoid Soda Sodas are loaded with sugar and an extra-large cup often contains more calories than a meal. Despite this, many people who are trying to lose weight knock back large amounts of soda each day and then wonder why their healthy meals and exercise routine aren’t having the desired effect. 3

So if you’re struggling to lose weight but drinking soda on a daily basis, swap it for water, coffee or tea. Doing this will cut hundreds or even thousands of calories from your daily intake and have a significant effect on your overall weight loss.

Tip 3 – Avoid ‘Diet’ & ‘Sugar-Free’ Drinks Another mistake a lot of people make when trying to lose weight is swapping regular soda for ‘diet’ or ‘sugar-free’ alternatives. While these drinks do contain little or no calories, they’re still not a good choice if you want to drop the pounds because they’re loaded with artificial ingredients and chemicals which slow down your body’s fat burning processes. Therefore, to make sure you’re burning the maximum amount of fat possible, ditch the ‘diet and ‘sugar-free’ drinks and drink water, coffee or tea instead.

Tip 4 – Limit Your Consumption of Fruit Juice Fruit juice contains natural sugars and so is a healthier choice than the two types of drinks listed above. However, it’s still relatively rich in calories with most fruit juices containing over 100 calories per cup. So if you’re serious about losing weight, you need to be limiting your consumption of fruit juice to no more than a couple of glasses each week.

Tip 5 – Enjoy Caffeinated Beverages in Moderation Hot caffeinated beverages such as coffee, black tea, and green tea are a fantastic alternative to water which contain zero calories along with plenty of health-boosting nutrients. However, caffeine is a diuretic and drinking too much will cause you to 4

become dehydrated which then slows down your metabolism. Therefore, make sure you’re drinking no more than four hot caffeinated beverages each day to maintain your metabolism.

By following these five tips, you’ll not only reduce your intake of liquid calories, but you’ll also put your body in an optimal fat-burning state. When combined with a solid diet and exercise routine, this will allow you to blast through body fat and you to achieve your weight loss goals with ease.

Top 5 Weight Loss Lifestyle Tips

ne of the biggest issues, people have when trying to lose weight is their lifestyle. They’re fully prepared to eat the right foods and do the appropriate

exercises but then life gets in the way and throws all their hard work out of the window. The good news is that with a little planning and consideration, you can burn body fat while also dealing with the challenges that life throws at you.

In this section, I’m going to be helping you do exactly that by providing you with five of the best weight loss lifestyle tips.

Tip 1 – Exercise in The Morning Exercising in the morning isn’t the only way to lose weight. However, if you lead a busy lifestyle, exercising first thing ensures that you get your workout in before the pressures of the day set in. Scheduling your workouts for later in the day when you’re already busy makes you a lot less likely to follow through with them. Therefore, if your schedule allows it, make your weight loss workouts the first thing you do when you wake up.

Tip 2 – Prepare Healthy Food in Advance One of the main reasons people eat unhealthy meals at short notice is because they’re running short on time. They plan to eat healthily but then something comes up at short notice, and they don’t have time to put together a healthy meal, so they grab some fast food instead. However, if you set aside some time each week to prepare a batch of healthy meals, then you’ll always have something healthy available for the 6

times you’re in a rush, and you’ll never have to resort to fast food as a quick fix again.

Tip 3 – Always Carry Some Workout Clothes Even when you lead a busy lifestyle, you’ll find that sometimes appointments are canceled or moved, and you’re left with unexpected blocks of free time. These blocks of free time are a fantastic opportunity to get a workout in and burn some extra body fat. However, to take advantage of them, you need to have the right gear close by. Therefore, make a point of always carrying some workout clothes with you, so that if a block of free time opens up during the day at short notice, you’re fully prepared to make the most of it.

Tip 4 – Walk When You Can Most people don’t walk as much as they could. They take the elevator instead of the stairs and use their car for short journeys that could be easily completed on foot. However, walking burns 240 calories per hour, so by walking whenever you can during the day, you can give your fat loss efforts a notable boost. Just an hour of extra walking per day will burn off over 1,500 calories during the week and over 7,000 calories during the month. So next time you head for the elevator or grab the car keys, think whether that’s really the best decision for losing weight and if possible, turn it into an opportunity to add some extra walking to your day.

Tip 5 – Be Flexible with Your Cheat Meals One big mistake people make when trying to lose weight is being too rigid with their cheat meals. They decide that one day of the week is their cheat day or allocate certain days and times during the week as cheat meals and then if they end up eating any 7

cheat meals outside of these allocated slots, they feel guilty and disappointed. However, life is spontaneous, and things will come up at short notice that make it difficult to stick to your healthy eating plans.

So instead of beating yourself up about these spontaneous cheat meals, adapt your healthy eating schedule and give yourself a 20% cheat meal allowance during the week but don’t allocate dates and times to it. Then when you have a cheat meal at short notice, remove it from your 20% allowance. This approach is much more flexible and allows you to adapt your healthy eating plans based on what life throws at you while still sticking to your healthy eating goals.

As you can see, with the right attitude, it’s possible to stick to your fat loss goals in any situation. So take another look at these tips, start implementing them today and ensure that your lifestyle doesn’t ever hinder your weight loss goals again.

Top 5 Weight Loss Mindset Tips

strong, positive mindset is one of the most important tools on your weight loss journey. With the right mindset, you’ll find facing weight loss challenges and

sticking to your weight loss goals a breeze. However, developing and maintaining a positive weight loss mindset can be difficult. That’s why in this section I’m going to be listing five top weight loss mindset tips.

Tip 1 – Be Patient If you’re trying to lose a large amount of weight, then you need to accept that it’s going to be a long-term process and stay patient as your work towards your final fat loss goal. Most healthy weight loss programs will result in around 2lbs of fat loss per week, so use this as a benchmark and get a general idea of how long it’s going to take to achieve your desired amount of weight loss. Then when impatience sets in, remind yourself that reaching your weight loss goal will take time but every day is taking you a step closer to your ultimate fat loss goal.

Tip 2 – Learn to Focus On Successes As with many long-term goals, it can sometimes seem natural to focus on the negatives on your fat loss journey. However, by doing this, you’re ignoring all the positive steps you’ve made along the way and setting yourself up for disappointment. So next time something doesn’t go to plan on your weight loss journey, and you feel disappointment setting in, make an effort to think about all the positive steps you’ve made that week. By doing this, you’ll quickly realize that the positives heavily outweigh the negatives, feel more motivated and discover that you’ve got nothing to 9

be disappointed about.

Tip 3 – Accept That Setbacks Will Happen While it’s important to focus on successes and not setbacks, you still need to accept that setbacks will happen. Once you accept that they’re a necessary part of your weight loss journey and something that you can use to make yourself stronger and more motivated, you’ll stop seeing them as a negative thing, they’ll have much less control over you, and you’ll find it much easier to stay motivated.

Tip 4 – Meditate Daily Meditation allows you to clear your mind of negative thoughts and puts you in a neutral mental state from which you can then build positive, constructive thoughts. Therefore, by meditating daily, you’ll find it much easier to implement the three tips above and maintain an increasingly strong positive mental attitude which helps you achieve your weight loss goals.

Tip 5 – Get at Least 6 Hours of Sleep Every Night Getting at least six hours of sleep every night has both a physical and mental impact on your weight loss efforts. First, it gives your weight loss efforts a physical boost by stimulating the release of growth hormone (a hormone that promotes fat burning). It also gives your weight loss efforts a mental boost by naturally suppressing your appetite and increasing your energy levels.

Therefore, by getting at least six hours of sleep each night, you’ll put yourself in a mental state where you’re less likely to overeat and more likely to exercise which is 10

exactly what you want if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to lose weight.

With the right mindset, you can achieve any weight loss goal that you set yourself. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently having issues with motivation or discouragement when it comes to weight loss, make sure you implement all five of these tips and start realizing the benefits a positive mental attitude can have on your fat loss success.

Top 5 Weight Loss Exercise Tips

xercise is a crucial part of any successful weight loss program. However, when it comes to the actual workouts, most people don’t exercise in a way that

promotes optimal fat loss. That’s why I’m going to be helping you make sure your workouts are focused on fat loss - by listing five of the top weight loss exercise tips.

Tip 1 – Lift Weights Many people see weightlifting and fat loss as two separate elements. However, muscle cells burn three times more calories than fat cells, and by lifting weights regularly, you can significantly increase your muscle mass and enjoy this extra caloric burn. Therefore, while there are better direct fat burning exercises than weightlifting, the indirect fat burning benefit you get from lifting weights is something no other exercise can match.

Tip 2 – Do Intense Cardio Intervals Another great way to maximize the rate at which you burn fat during exercise is to do a period of cardio at maximum intensity, followed by a period of cardio at low intensity in a continuous cycle. These high-intensity cardio intervals require much more exertion and burn more calories than medium intensity cardio performed at a constant pace, so if you’re trying to lose weight, they’re a much better choice.

Tip 3 – Limit Running Running is one of the most popular weight loss exercises around. However, it also 12

places a lot of pressure on your joints, so if you’re trying to lose a large amount of weight, you need to run in moderation. Running too often will cause pain in your joints, and this will ultimately limit the amount of exercise you can do and hinder your weight loss efforts. However, by limiting the amount of running you do, you’ll be able to keep on exercising without any problems and burn off those excess pounds. For the best results, limit your total runs to a maximum of three days per week.

Tip 4 – Keep Your Cardio Routine Varied Even if you’re performing a low impact cardio exercise that won’t have a negative effect on the amount of exercise you can do, sticking to that same exercise day after day will quickly get boring. Therefore, to prevent boredom from setting in and keep your weight loss motivation high, make sure you’re doing lots of different types of cardio. Not only does this variety make your fat loss workouts fun and interesting but it also prevents complacency and ensures that you put the maximum amount of effort into every single cardio workout.

Tip 5 – Have at Least 1 Rest Day Per Week Failing to take rest days will prevent your body from recovering properly and leave you feeling tired, run down and sluggish. Not only does this have a negative impact on your long-term workout performance and reduce the total amount of calories you burn but it also slows down your body’s natural fat burning processes.

So if you want to maximize the amount of fat you burn overall, you need to be taking at least one full rest day per week. On this rest day don’t do anything physically demanding and fully focus on allowing your body to recover from your workouts. 13

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been exercising regularly but having noticed much of a difference when it comes to fat loss, the chances are youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been neglecting one of the key weight loss exercise tips covered in this section. So have another read, make sure you start implementing all five of these tips into your weight loss routine and get ready for fat loss success.

Top 5 Weight Loss Diet Tips

f you’re trying to lose weight, a healthy, calorie controlled diet needs to be the foundation. However, many people don’t take this into account when attempting

to drop the pounds, and as a result, their fat loss efforts suffer. That’s why in this section I’m going to be sharing with you five of the best weight loss diet tips.

Tip 1 – Be Aware of Your Total Calorie Consumption While the quality of the calories you eat is very important when trying to lose weight, the amount of calories you consume will ultimately determine your fat loss success. Even if all your calories are coming from healthy and natural foods, if you eat too much, you’ll struggle to lose weight. Therefore, make sure you have a general awareness of the total number of calories you’re consuming and if you struggle to drop the pounds over an extended period of time, consider reducing your total caloric intake.

Tip 2 – Choose Natural, Unprocessed Foods Natural, unprocessed foods are generally low in calories. In addition to this, they’re a fantastic source of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Not only do these nutrients help your body perform many essential functions but they also put it in an optimal fat-burning state. Processed foods are generally high in calories and contain a fraction of the nutrients that can be found in natural, unprocessed foods. This means by choosing natural, unprocessed foods over processed foods, you consume fewer calories overall and burn more body fat as a result of the additional nutrients.

Tip 3 – Learn to Cook If you want to get the maximum flavor out of natural, unprocessed foods and truly enjoy your meals, then you need to learn to cook. This may seem daunting at first if you’re used to living off processed foods that require minimal preparation. However, once you get started with some simple recipes, you’ll quickly pick it up and be enjoying a wide range of healthy, low-calorie meals in no time at all. The more you enjoy these meals, the more likely you are to keep eating them which prevents you from falling back into bad habits and binging on unhealthy foods.

Tip 4 – Fill Up On Vegetables Making the switch from processed foods to natural, unprocessed foods will give your weight loss efforts a huge boost. However, if you want to take it a step further, adding multiple servings of vegetables to every meal is a great way burn even more body fat. Most vegetables contain less than 50 calories per serving and have a very high concentration of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. However, despite their lowcalorie content, vegetables are surprisingly filling and do a great job of satisfying your appetite. This makes them a great fat burning food and the more you eat them, the more weight you’ll lose.

Tip 5 – Allow Yourself Occasional Cheat Meals Losing weight does require a certain level of discipline when it comes to your diet. However, being too strict with what you eat and making certain foods forbidden rarely works and often leads to strong cravings followed by large, unhealthy binges. Therefore, to avoid binge eating and make your weight loss diet is manageable in the long term, you should enjoy cheat meals in moderation. 16

These cheat meals can include any foods you like, and the only rule is that you consume them 20% of the time and stick to healthy, natural, unprocessed foods the remaining 80% of the time. Doing this provides you with a buffer to eat any foods you desire but also ensures that most of the time, you’re eating foods that promote fat loss.

By making these simple but effective dietary changes, you’ll notice a huge difference and your excess body fat will start to melt away. So if you’ve been struggling with weight loss for a while, make sure you implement these tips and get the figure you’ve always desired.
