How To Stay Motivated With Weight Loss

Weight Loss Cure

Weight loss tips to keep in mind for fitness motivation in weight loss programs when you increase metabolism by weight loss exercise and eating foods that speed metabolism for your weight loss diet.

18 Weight Loss Tips To Keep In Mind With Body fat Loss

1) Fast Weight Loss - You Can Have Quick Weight Loss - But How Efficient?

In the last decade or so, a common weight loss diet has been a high protein diet / Atkins Diet. This weight loss diet is very efficient for fast weight loss. I lost 12 pounds in one day on the high protein diet. Obviously, all that weight loss was from water, no fat loss. For quick weight loss, a high protein diet is excellent for fast weight loss, but most of the weight loss will be due to water loss, not fat loss. This fast weight loss diet is good if you need to lose weight fast for a certain event, like a wedding, reunion, fitness model, etc. Think of how long it took to put the weight on. You will lose body fat faster, but it's a good way of thinking.

2) Weight Loss Depends On Your Health Fitness.

Weight Loss is exponential / logarithmic. Weight loss highly depends on your level of fitness. The higher your initial level of fitness, the more efficient your body is at weight loss. When you fist start exercising, your BMR, your basal metabolic rate, starts to increase. Your body and muscles begin to get more balanced.

3) Don't Get on the Scale - Weight Loss Is Increased By Metabolism Through Muscle Activity.

Most people rarely see weight loss results on the weight scale. Since muscle is more dense that fat, you may see little difference on the weight scale. You can lose 12 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of muscle, but you will only see that you lost 2 pounds! A weight scale is highly inaccurate to check for weight loss.

The best way to check your weight loss is how loose your clothes fit and how you look in the mirror. How you look in the mirror is usually what is mostly important to many people anyway. Keep in mind though you will be the last person to notice, because you see yourself everyday. A person you see once a week or so usually will notice your weight loss more than you.

4) Exercise Diary - Chart Your Weight Loss Exercise And Fitness Goals.

Keep a calendar of your exercise workouts, including both your strength training and cardio training. Give yourself a gold star on the days you workout. Write down how long your muscle and cardio exercise workouts lasted.

5) Remember that One Photo You Do Not Like How You Look.

Many personal training clients often have told me they started personal training just because they saw how bad they looked in a photo. They didn't realize how much weight they gained and how they really looked versus their self-image.

6) Visualization for Weight Loss.

Everyday visualize in your mind the body and look you want. Visualize the details of how your face will look, the clothes you will wear, how you will feel. From this visualization alone through NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, you will program or condition you mind, your conscious and your subconscious, toward your goals. This is how many athletes perfect their sport when not training. Visualization is highly effective. Most people are on autopilot throughout the day and if you program your mind, you will soon find yourself doing what is necessary to achieve your goals.

7) Keep Pictures of the Body You Want to Have Around Your Living Quarters, Car, Work

Keep inspirational photos around your house, car, and work to keep you consciously aware of the body you want to achieve. This constant conscious awareness is also like NLP, Neurolingual Programming, in that you are conditioning your mind to obtain what you want.

8) Self Esteem Affirmations | Weight Loss Affirmation

Many people are over weight due to stress, low self esteem, emotional eating, etc. Affirmations definitely play a role in helping increase your weight loss. They are also like NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, in programming your mind for weight loss and self esteem.

9) Throw Out All Weight Gain Food

Obviously throw out your weight gain food. It makes it too easy to eat fat food if it's in our house, especially when stressed or feeling down, which both are natural in life, since life naturally has it's ups and downs.

10) Weight Loss Food - The Weight Loss Cure

Weight loss is a mind game. Change your mental perspective of healthy food. Many personal training clients initially incorrectly see healthy food as restrictive. That type of mental perspective will only cause internal mental fighting and sooner or later frustration.

Be creative and find healthy food that you enjoy eating. Find the healthy food formula for you. Every one is different and have different tastes. Be creative with healthy foods that you like. Many healthy foods tastes great. People forget they like strawberries, melon, raspberries, blueberries, artichoke hearts, asparagus, tuna, etc. Be creative. Add tomatoes and/ or cucumbers to your tuna wheat bread sandwich instead of mayonnaise. Add artichoke hearts, bananas, oranges, apples, sauteed mushrooms etc to your salads instead of salad dressing.

11) Throw Out All Weight Gain Food

Remember, times are very different now than it was for our parents and their parents. For the first time in history, we have a global surplus of food. Plus many of our forefathers were farmers, hunters, or just walked much more than we do nowadays. They were much more physically active, so they required more energy from their food as fuel. They needed to eat more fat. Fat is a highly efficient fuel source for long distance physical activity. But if you don't have physical activity, then the fat gets stored on your body like a camel for the days you need to use the fat.

12) Keep Reading And Thinking About Weight Loss

As a Personal Trainer for over 20 years, I've definitely discovered the more my personal training clients new and were consciously aware about weight loss, weight loss diets, weight loss exercise, they were by far the most successful at losing bodyfat. Stay away from magazine articles (the photos are good for inspiration though) and read only books or internet sites from weight loss and fitness experts. This also works like NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, in the more you think about something, the more your conscious and subconscious mind will bring it to fruition. This is also the same theme in the popular books, The Secret, and The Science of Getting Rich.

13) Walk It Off

Walk it off, especially after larger meals. Walking creates fast energy, allows the blood to be in your muscles, not your stomach, and most people can do it.

14) Outsmart Hunger Pangs, Cravings

Outsmart your hunger pangs and cravings. Hunger pangs and cravings usually go away in ten or fifteen minutes. You get over the hump. This will also strengthen your self-discipline, which is like a muscle. The more you strengthen your self-discipline the stronger it becomes. Plus your cravings usually decrease in strength and intensity.

15) Expect Plateaus - Expect Weight Loss and Fitness Plateaus

Fitness and weight loss plateaus are normal. Just like the natural ebb and flow of life, your body goes through ups and downs too. You may seem stuck at a certain weight for some time, but that is just your body transitioning to higher metabolism and weight loss. So an easy way of thinking for this period is to have the fitness mind set of fitness is just a lifestyle, a habit like putting on your clothes. You just do it. Then after a few weeks, you start noticing your clothes get looser, and you look better in the mirror.

16) Just Do It! Getting To The Gym Is Half The Battle

Just getting to the gym is have the battle. Once you are exercising at the gym, health club, or outdoors exercise, you are over the hump, and it's all down hill from there. You get your exercise momentum going.

17) Increase Your Energy, Metabolism and Weight Loss With More Meals!

Your metabolism is like a fire. If you put really big logs on your fire, it will burn, but not effectively and the rest will be stored as fat. If you put twigs and smaller logs on your fire, your metabolism will burn higher, which give you more energy, and completely, so no fat is stored.

18) More Fat Loss, Metabolism, And Energy Levels By Eating More!

If you don't eat enough, your body will protect itself by going into starvation mode, which burns muscle instead of fat. This means you will have less muscle so less metabolism, energy, and fat loss. Also this does not look good. People look sick when they do a low calorie diet for too long when below around 800 calories. So for best weight loss, eat more food, between 1000 - 2000 calories of high quality food, which is mainly vegetables, some protein and carbs.
