Share with me your best Diet/Exercise tip!
Give me your best advice for losing weight.
Since there are many on here who talk about losing weight and I know I'm struggling with this battle myself, I thought it be appropriate.
Heres mine:
Cut out all your liquids except for water. Try to drink one gallon of water per day.
Re: Share with me your best Diet/Exercise tip!
I know I've already shared some tips with you,which you didn't seem to like very much ;-) . But here's another: try to eat about half as much as you think you need to. If you still feel hungry, just wait 20 minutes and you probably won't feel hungry anymore. I think most people don't realize the difference between feeling not full and feeling hungry. As you get used to eating smaller portions, you won't need to eat so much to be satisfied.
On the flip side, when you start feeling hungry, eat something right away. Don't wait until you're starving to death because then you'll overeat. I think the key is maintaining a good balance between having enough food in your stomach without ever having too much.
~ Eat smaller portions but more often through out the day. ( Instead of 3 Large meals. Eat a well balanced breakfast lunch and dinner and have a healthy snack in between ) This keeps your body working at all times
~ Drink LOTS O' water!
~ Be sure to use weights in conjunction with your cardio, helps to build muscle to burn that fat
~ every couple of days add 5 more minutes to your cardio workout or increase it a level or incline your treadmill more
~ post old pictures of your skinny old self around the house , or that inspirational weightloss story on yoru fridge , buy Shape, and Fitness magazines with different workout routines in them
~ Get yourself a workout partner one that is already motivated to stay in shape or one that is just as motivatred as you to get in shape. NO SLACKERS ALLOWED. ;-)
~ raid your cupboards and toss all the junk.
~ cut out sugar, limit carbs ..........
~ Download Pinks latest album because it's kicka$$ to workout to, is high energy and keeps you going.
