"Don’t pay attention to the scale. If you find yourself constantly jumping on the scale as a measure of how your weight loss plan is going, you may find yourself disappointed."
Instead, focus on weight loss oriented tasks like the ones listed below :
*Firstly fitness related then healthy eating or diet ones.*
"Weight loss is not effective unless you include exercise in the mix. It doesn’t matter what’s on your plate, you need to make time for weights or cardio within your daily life."
-Only weights or cardio ?
"One great exercise that promotes weight loss is climbing the stairs. Although taking the steps seems minimal thing, the extra calories burnt adds up quickly."
Also think of all you can do that require you to move.
"Around 3,500 calories can be found in a single pound of fat."
"Burn 500 calories more than what you ate everyday. If you do that, you should be losing a pound a week."
"To lose weight, develop a consistent eating pattern. Most people like knowingwhen it will be time to eat again since it will cut down on snacking. Come up with a eating schedule and try to stick to it. "
"A good tip while dieting is to serve your food on smaller plates. People tend to fill their whole plate when eating. If you reduce portion size and continue using the same size plates your brain will know it is being deprived. If you use a smaller plate, you will trick your mind. "
"Create a plan to manage your everyday stress. One reason that people become overweight is because they eat when they are stressed. Avoid stressful situations and learn to deal with your stress so you do not turn to comfort foods when you feel anxious."
