Quick Ways To Lose Weight Tip # 1. Attitude IS Everything

If you went into last year’s holiday season thinking you could eat like a wolverine and worry about it in January, well, how’s that working out?

It has never worked well for me — believe me I have tried it more years than I care to admit!

Make getting healthy and losing weight a number one priority in your life.

Create a lifestyle that sustains the kind of healthy weight you desire and you won’t be able to slow down the pounds as they quickly drop off your body to reveal your new slim physique.

Quick Ways To Lose Weight Tip # 2. Eat exactly what you need

When you eat – here is the best rule to follow.

ONLY eat when you are hungry and STOP when you are at a comfortable feeling of satisfaction.

Do this at every meal.

It may take some practice to wait until you are really hungry to begin eating and even more practice to stop before you have overeaten.

But this is a huge key to my losing over 50 pounds and keeping it off for over 20 years. Listen to me — this can be a breakthrough for you.

You will be amazed at how quickly this becomes acceptable to your stomach. Besides, you can enjoy your meal and feel great afterwards too.

This tip alone will save you from hundreds of extra calories at each meal.

Quick Ways To Lose Weight Tip # 3. MOVE!

Give up the couch this summer and get out the spandex. Okay….maybe not the spandex…but how about some gym shorts and a tank top?

If you really can’t get to the gym, exercise in the comfort of your home (I have exercised at home for decades – it works and it is very convenient).

Or get up and walk around your neighborhood – the fresh air will do your mind and body good.

Wearing exercise clothes and exercising won’t just burn calories; it will keep you in touch with your desire to get skinny and healthy. 

You also want to keep as active during the day as you can. You know the routine; use the steps, park farther away. Do some jumping jacks at your desk — I do it all the time – it makes me smile and feel like a kid again and NO I don’t care what people think — I am raising my metabolism and increasing my joy!

No matter what you choose to do to increase your activity level….remember that a journey of thousand miles begins with YOUR first step!

Quick Ways To Lose Weight Tip # 4. Trash Day

You just had to buy the Nacho Cheese Doritos because you had thecoupon right? Well – get real! If you can’t control your urges to binge on junk food (and believe me most of the time I can’t) – it is time to clean out  your fridge and kitchen cupboards.

This is the one of the easiest weight loss tips to put into practice that provides immediate results.  Why? Let’s say you are watching TV and you get the craving to eat the entire pint of Haagen Daaz Caramel Swirl Ice Cream, if you don’t have it readily available in the house you are much less likely to get in the car and drive to go get it.

Quick Ways To Lose Weight Tip # 5. Relax!

Stress makes us do crazy things to our bodies like smoking, drinking, and oh yes, eating.

When I was stressed out in college I always use to find myself in the kitchen with the fridge door open.

What was I doing? Looking for something to numb me from the stress I was feeling. 

So don’t feel alone if you are a stress eater – become aware of it and then take steps to avoid the traps that lead to high calorie binges.

If you can recognize that you tend to eat when stressed, you can plan alternative activities that actually calm you without adding pounds.
