You may be having difficulty losing weight or it could be that you want to lose weight a lot faster than you currently are.
In this article we will go straight into the key tips on ways to lose weight
Intermittent Fasting
This is one of the most effective ways to lose weight. It is whereby you only eat during certain times.
There are several ways in which you can structure your intervals, with the most effective way being the 16:8 method. This is whereby you are fasting for 16 hours and then within 8 hours is the time you can eat. Moreover, alternative methods such as fasting for a whole 24 hours for once a week for example, is also an option.
Exercise
Walking up the stairs going for a very short walk does not aid weight loss significantly. A reasonable amount of exercise per day is required in order to lose a noticeable amount of weight.
Weight Loss Pills
Time and time again, weight loss pills have been shown as proven to work. There are a number of effective pills available which you can explore on Pharmica.
One of the most popular weight loss pills is Alli. Alli works by targeting the fat in the digestive system. The active ingredient Orlistat attaches to the enzyme lipase that breaks down the fat after eating. Therefore, it prevents you from digesting as much fat.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water can really make you feel fuller, resulting in you eating less during a meal. Also, research has shown that by drinking two glasses of water before a meal, you can lose more weight than having not drunk water.
Move Away From Unhealthy Foods
If you have the likes of chocolates, chips and biscuits dotted around your house, don’t have them in sight and preferably don’t even have unhealthy foods in your house.
Stay Positive
Some people may start to feel discouraged if they do not start to see immediate results. It is important to be aware that weight loss is a gradual process. Keep a positive outlook and work towards your weight loss goals.
Get Enough Sleep
Getting between seven to eight hours a night on a consistent basis is very important. Research shows that people who are chronically sleep-deprived consume more calories the next day. This is because of a hunger hormone increasing, resulting in you feelinghungrier. Also, as your energy levels are likely to fall, you will be less inclined to spend the time preparing a healthy meal.
Be Wary of ‘Emotional Eating’
When you eat because you are feeling stressed or are eating out of comfort in frustration of not being able to continue losing weight, this can be very detrimental. In order to combat this, you should definitely look to try meditation or even have additional support such as a friend or family member who you can speak to, to express how you feel. As well as expressing your feelings, they can provide you with advice on how best you can continue forward with losing weight.
