After few days, it will be a habit, and then try for the next weight loss tips one by one.

No.1. No diet: Don’t go for diet. It’s a long term and continuous process. Suppose you have lost few pounds by dieting, but one big meal can turn you to the back. You will be discouraged then. You should have a healthy body that lasts your lifetime. I don’t think also diets and diet books are not good. Know something about nutrition and apply it to your eating habit. At first, it may be difficult for you, make small changes then to full changes to your eating habit.

No.2. An easy but effective change for good health: Can you imagine how calories are you taking in just eating a simple soda can? A regular can carries about 160 calories. If you take two cans a day, you are taking more than 300 calories which add nearly a pound. But if you want, it’s very easy to cut out from your list. You can take fresh cold water instead of that soda can. We know that cold water is very healthy; it burns calories also at the time of your body heating up. You can burn extra about 100 calories just by taking the recommended 8 cups a day. You can drink more water. Don’t take any sugar containing liquid. Always try to cut out something from your unhealthy habit and replace by healthier ways.

No.3. Take a healthy breakfast: Usually we take very simple foods in the morning. But breakfast is the most essential meal of the day. As you don’t take food for a long time, your metabolism needs energy to continue in the morning. A good breakfast can increase your metabolic power. Eat food in the morning containing both protein and carbohydrates. Another reason is as you will start your work from the morning and continue it as you can, so you need lots of energy for the whole day to keep continue your jobs.  So take a very healthier breakfast to start your day.

No.4. Take few small meals than big meals: Take 4-6 smaller meals in lieu of 3 big meals. You can do this easily having breakfast, snack before lunch, lunch, evening snack and dinner. Don’t go for junk foods in the snack period, try to take fruits. For more meal numbers, your body will not starve metabolic power increase and have a good rhythm to fat burn.

No.5. Stress reduction: Stress response to our health reversely. Our body streams the harmful hormone cortisol due to stress that runs a physiological process contrary to weight loss. It stops other lean muscle building hormonal works and helps to store more pounds to your body. Try to do the works that help you to reduce stress. You can do your hobby, punching heavy bags, exercise, meditation, yoga etc.

No.6. Calorie determination: Everybody has a calorie intake limit to maintain a healthy body according to current weight, age, height. Determine yours how many calories you need daily and set a target how many you want to cut off. Then make a combination between calories intake and fat burnt how fewer calories you need to take daily. Here the calorie determination system is not an exact science but may be very close to that and effective also. Females may need perhaps 200 calories less and males may need 100 calories more. You can start with this process. Equations are as follows:

Daily calories required = Basal metabolic rate × Lifestyle factor

Basal metabolic rate = Body weight (pounds) × 10 (constant)

Lifestyle factor can be different for different types of people. For example, for office/sitting people it may be 1.4, for stuff service/moderately active people it may be 1.6, for athletes, labor/active people it may be 1.8. You can set a lifestyle factor also around these.

Suppose, your weight is 190 pounds and you are a job holder in any office, then calculate your daily calories need.

Basal metallic rate = 190 × 10 = 1900 calories

Daily calories required = 1900 × 1.4 = 2660 calories

It may not be exact but very close to this one. Now you can set up a weight loss target how many pounds you want to lose and within how many days. To lose 2lbs per week, you have to intake 1000 calories less daily. So, you need to take (2660-1000) = 1660 calories daily.

No.7. Calories intake record: Put down everything that you have eaten last three days along with it contains calories in a paper and spreadsheet. Then make an average to get your daily intake. This way you can know how many calories you are taking in daily and how many calories you need to take less daily to reach your target.

No.8. Walk more: You have no need to make any heroic movement. Just walk normally as more as you can. Give up elevator, use stairs; go to the store just by walk; walk to the park, river side or any fascinating place. You can take 3 short walks daily for an about 20 minutes each. This must help you to burn calories and lose weight.

Hopefully you will get a good output if you follow these great weight loss tips.
