belly-2354_1280There are many ways a person can lose weight without having to resort to a diet. Many times people will diet, and end up gaining weight back in the end. So this post is to inform you of the top 10 ways to lose weight in a healthy and effective weight. These techniques will ensure healthy weight management and long term effectiveness.

  • Walking

Walking is one of the most effective ways to lose weight. It is also one of the easiest. Most of the time it is difficult for people to lose weight because they dread exercising. Walking is a great alternative because it is actually fun and you don’t even feel like you are exercising. The best part about it is it only takes 30-45 minutes a day to see amazing results. People will actually see more weight loss results in power walking than running because they are able to maintain a consistent speed, which is beneficial because it cleanses the tissues which aids in weight loss.

  • Nutrition

Nutrition is extremely important in weight loss. When you put the proper nutrition in your body, you will start feeling a difference in many areas. By eating a variety of foods with healthy nutrients, you will help balance your system, and this alone will help with weight loss. Along with nutrition, it is important to understand calorie intake, serving sizes, etc. This article does an excellent job explaining nutrition and weight loss and how to get started. I suggest researching nutritious foods and learning a little bit everyday, and eventually you will keep weight off easily with the knowledge of eating healthy.

  • Drink more water 

I love this technique in losing weight. Know why? Because it is so simple! Everyone drinks water, and everyone needs water to survive. Think about it. To lose weight, all you have to do is drink more water. How easy is that? According to www.caloriesperhour.com, “The process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in order to function efficiently; dehydration slows down the fat-burning process.” That is insane. So many people are exercising their butts off to lose weight, and if they are not getting an adequate amount of water, they are not getting the full benefit of exercise because they aren’t burning as many calories!

  • Get Enough Rest

Sleeping and exercise have a direct correlation. Do you know that your lack of sleep may have a significant impact on your weight? Findings are showing that sleep deprivation impacts your hormones, which result in weight gain. This article discusses the phenomenon between sleep and weight gain. The author states, “The two hormones that are key in this process are ghrelin and leptin. “Ghrelin is the ‘go’ hormone that tells you when to eat, and when you are sleep-deprived, you have more ghrelin.” Again, this is an easy weight loss technique, sleep more, it really is that simple.

  • Get Support

Just like sleep and weight, support and weight have a direct correlation. Getting support when starting a weight loss program is one of the most beneficial things you can do to stay motivated and keep the weight off in the long run. There was an interesting clinical trial done through Weight Watchers. During this time, they tracked people who attended weight loss meetings versus those who did not. All the people who attended the meetings and had a social support system seemed to lose more weight and keep it off for longer. Amazing!

  • Create a Mantra

A mantra can be the game changer in your weight loss program. Getting the support of others is important, however, your own mind and your own support is much greater. Your mind will believe anything it hears. That’s right. Think about your own thoughts for a moment. If you’re constantly telling yourself, “I can’t lose weight,” “Exercise is hard,” or “I won’t give up these donuts,” then you most likely won’t, because your mind believes it. You need to get your thoughts in line with your goals. Repeat positive mantras to yourself daily, such as “I can lose weight,” “Exercise is FUN!” and “I will reward myself with my favorite foods after I meet my goals.”

  • Breathe More

Simple breathe more. Breathe more in life. Breathe more with others. And most importantly, breathe more in between each bite of food you take. You will see an amazing difference in just breathing more!

  • Cook More

I don’t mean eat more food. I mean cook more food for yourself at home. Cut back on eating out at restaurants, or worst of all fast food. When you cook for yourself at home, it is cooked with love, you know exactly what’s in it, and you even burn some calories while doing it!

  • Cut Back on Calories

Please, please, please, do not starve yourself. Cutting back on calories is simple if you make it simple. It’s hard if you make it hard. Educate yourself on calories, and slowly make the adjustment. Here’s an awesome article on counting calories. This may be a great place to start. As I said before, don’t starve yourself. If you’re hungry, eat. Be mindful of what you are putting in your body, though. I suggest cutting back on unhealthy calories, and adding healthy calories. That will have a significant impact on weight loss.

  • Stay Motivated

This is the most important thing you can do when it comes to weight loss. Build support, grow confidence in yourself, and stay motivated for long term results! Don’t think about the big picture in the beginning, you’ll just get overwhelmed. Set short term goals that are easy to achieve, and make those short term goals work up to your long term goals.
