A Few Tips to Maintain a Healthy Weight Loss

Most people know that the most important factors in healthy weight loss are diet and exercise, but those words carry many negative connotations. By reframing the way you think about these things, you can develop a more positive outlook on health.

Build a healthy weight loss plan 

Your weight loss plan begins with an attitude adjustment. Set realistic goals and be patient. Beware of self-destructive behaviors and don’t let small mistakes derail your goals. Avoid fads and take a common sense approach to your weight loss plan. If it’s too complex, you probably won’t.  

1) It’s a balancing act 

Proper health and weight management require a bit of balance. It is never a good idea to go for the extremes. Eating too little and exercising too much can lead to as many problems as eating too much and not exercising. Find a balance that you can live with.

2) A healthy diet is key 

Counting calories and carbohydrates is simply not sustainable. Choosing healthy and common sense options is. Sticking to a smaller portion diet, with lots of vegetables, will go a long way. Don’t be fooled by processed foods that claim to be sugar and carbohydrate free. 

3) Get enough sleep

Chronic sleep loss can contribute to health problems like weight gain, high blood pressure, and a lowered immune system. Getting enough sleep helps you wake up with a clear mind, able to think clearly.  

4) Healthy snack 

Eating healthy snacks between meals can help curb hunger so you don’t overindulge at dinner. Snacks can also help you get all the nutrients you need. So, one cup of blueberries contains only 85 calories, but it contains 25% of your daily vitamin C.

5) Drink lots of fluids 

You’ve probably heard conflicting advice on how much water to drink. So, A good rule of thumb is 9 glasses of water for women and 13 for men. So, it is perfectly acceptable to replace a few glasses of water with healthy liquids, such as low-sugar tea or juice.
