When you decide to determine your weight loss goals, you will take into account personal and unique targets. You may want to lose weight for a family wedding or a newly diagnosed health issue. In any case you will no doubt want to consider many lifestyle factors. A very useful aid to losing weight and staying motivated is to record that personal weight goal and then formulate or map a plan to reach it.
View your goal objectively: consider if it is Specific, You are due to attend your Sister’s Wedding in July this year, (a summer Wedding ) Measurable, you know the date in July. Attainable, you know you can lose weight, you’ve done in before, Realistic, look at the timescale and your weight loss rate in the past. Tangible, Yes! You can do this and the pounds lost will show, not just on the weigh scales and also will show in inches and clothes sizes?
Break it down. Keep on going. To stay motivated, calculate a 10% weight loss from day one of your diet. This is a figure which is personal to you. This amount of reduction will certainly show on your silhouette and better still lead to being beneficial for your health
Never be afraid to change weight loss goals if they are not working for you. If you believe you are losing weight too fast, it may not just be fat that you are losing. Consider your water intake and remember the importance of hydration. For example your liver, which is a vital organ in processing calorie intake and fat storage, requires a certain daily intake of water to work efficiently, So measure your liquid intake and limit those sugary drinks, (sodas are a No No).
Beware! Fruit juices may fool you. You may think that a simple switch from soda to cordial and other fruit flavour drinks may just be a swop for tasty healthy sounding fruit juices. Oh! No! Recent and continued studies have pointed to the conclusion that fruit juices are just as high in sugars and therefore calories
Not only does fruit juice often contain as much overall sugar content as a soda, fruit juice also contains much more fructose. And why should fructose concern you? Because: research shows that fructose causes insulin resistance and significantly raises triglycerides (a risk factor for heart disease). It increases fat around the waistline which we have already learned puts us at greater risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, and in turn heart disease and strokes. Fructose has also been linked to non-alcoholic, fatty-liver disease.
Planning weight loss starts at forming your short term and long term goals and comes down to planning as many meals as you are able to, considering you daily calorie intake and also planning down to the details of your food shopping and expenditure so that you don’t fall foul of reaching for a high calorie snack at a weak moment.
