Simple Weight Loss Tips



I'm sure you have heard the following info almost 1 million times: when it comes to losing weight loss take in fewer calories, burn more calories. I'm sure you also know that nothing in life is easy. Surprise, surprise! Most quick weight-loss plans don't work as promised. If you're trying to drop a few pounds fast, I've got 4 simple things you can do this week to help you to lose the weight quickly.

Enjoy high-calorie treats as the accent, not the centerpiece

Try this one: Make a spoonful of ice cream the main event and surround the ice cream with fruit. Or try this: Cut down on the chips by pairing each bite with lots of chunky, filling fresh salsa.

Make one social outing this week an active one.

You don’t have to sit in a movie theater. Pass on the movies and go to your local park instead. Not only will you sit less, but you’ll be saving calories because you won’t chow down on that bucket of popcorn. Other active ideas: a tennis match, a guided nature or city walk (check your local listings), a bike ride, or bowling.

Walk five minutes for at least every two hours.
Stuck at a desk all day? Sitting behind a computer is not going to help you look or feel better. Try taking a brisk five-minute walk every two hours will parlay into an extra 20-minute walk by the end of the day. And getting a break will make you less likely to reach for snacks out of antsiness.
You’ll lose weight and fat if you walk 45 minutes a day, not 30.
No, I’m not suggesting long cardio sessions. The reason I’m suggesting 45 minutes instead of the typical 30 is that a Duke University study found that while 30 minutes of daily walking is enough to prevent weight gain in most relatively sedentary people, exercise beyond 30 minutes results in weight and fat loss.
