Weight Loss and Dieting Tips
Weight Loss Goal - Steady Weight Loss
Your weight loss diet plan and exercise plan should be realistic. Healthy
weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.
To do this, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories a day through a low-calorie
diet and regular exercise. Losing weight more rapidly means losing water
weight or muscle tissue, rather than fat.
Weight Loss Goal - Monthly Goal
Set weekly or monthly weight loss goals and track your progress. Remember
that you're in this for the long haul. Anything you undertake too intensely
or too vigorously quickly becomes too onerous, so you're more likely to
give up.
Weight Loss Process Goals
Make your weight loss goals "process goals," such as eating
judiciously and exercising regularly, rather than "outcome goals,"
such as losing 50 pounds of weight. Changing your process - your habits
- is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process goals are realistic,
specific and measurable - you'll walk for 30 minutes a day, five days
a week.
