Do You Want To Lose Weight? 5 Easy Tips To Help You Get Started

If losing weight was easy, everyone would be doing it! Everyone would be walking around with fantastic, healthy bodies, they would be full of energy and they would look great. Right?

A significant percentage of the population is overweight or obese. In fact, many of these overweight or obese people are children. Now that is disturbing!

So does this mean that losing weight or even maintaining a healthy weight is hard? Believe it or not, it isn't all that hard - if you know what to do.

The following 5 tips will help to get you started if you want to lose weight:

1. Eat at least five to six times a day - this helps you to maintain your metabolism. Remember you MUST eat breakfast!!

2. Try to eat healthy, natural food - this will include meats, eggs, fruits, vegetables and nuts. Avoid processed foods or anything that comes in packaging or a box wherever possible.

3. Allow yourself to "cheat" on occasion. Don't go overboard and watch your portion size. This will help your mindset because you are not missing out on the things you love - you're just eating them less often.

4. Exercise regularly - I do 30 minutes a day, three days a week. 15 minutes of this is resistance training (more info on this from my website) and the remaining 15 minutes is interval training (again, more on my website). You can even split this up and do 15 minutes a day, 6 days a week.

5. Believe in yourself and stay committed to your goal - If you believe you can lose weight, then you will. It's as simple as that.

In addition to the tips above, one more really powerful thing you can do is to build yourself a support network. Having others around you who either want to lose weight too, or they're just there to support and encourage you will really make a difference and you will very soon see the flab fading away!
