Everyday, there is constant new information as to how to lose weight, and those same things are causing us to gain weight. There is always some new information that is going to be the thing to change everything we know about weight loss. The fact is that the things that are making us gain weight are few and consistent. If we can just make those few lifestyle changes, we will begin to lose weight automatically. These are the 3 biggest mistakes that we are making daily.
1. Huge Portion's - Too much of anything is bad for you. Even if you are eating something that is considered healthy, excessive amounts of it will make you fat. It's important to moderate what you eat. Remember in the old days, we couldn't just go to a store and pick up a meal. We would scavenge for it. Today, we don't have that problem so everything we it is to excess. Control your portions and watch your calories. For consistent weight loss, try to hover around the 1200-1400 calorie range spread between 4-5 meals per day.
2. Escalator Nation - We can load a dishwasher in 2 minutes, microwave a meal in 5, and pay a dog walker in 1; we have become a society of inactive people. We delegate even the simplest tasks and avoid any real exercise. The average person takes 1,500 steps per day. Sound like a lot? Well actually the recommended amount is 10,000 steps per day. We are extremely inactive and have stopped our fat burning in it's tracks. I recommend getting a pedometer so that you can monitor where you are in your walking efforts. From now on, take the stairs, park a little farther, and just take the long way. You will naturally increase your weight loss.
3. Crash Diet Life Style - We are constantly looking for some new exciting way to lose weight. Every infomercial on some new fad diet is catching our attention. These fad diets causing us to artificially lose weight instead of following a healthy lifestyle. Instead of living healthy, we are looking for the next hot thing. Make an effort to follow the basics and ignore fad diets. Eat healthy fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins and commit to educating yourself to whats truly healthy, instead of whats the next big thing.
Don't follow the crowd from diet to diet. Live a healthy lifestyle by staying active and eating the right kinds of foods, and don't worry about your weight. Just by living healthy, you will naturally lose weight fast.
