admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 23:47:34 +0000

Here are some tips to consider when you design your Weight Loss and Maintain Weight programs:
1. You have to set your goals realistically for your health, age, weight, and height.
2. Write down your food preferences and design your programs around these.
3. Set your daily number of meals and snacks you will have and stick with it; is better to have more meals and snacks then less.
4. Establish your desired Weight Loss Rate in pounds per week.
5. A weight loss of 1 lb/week it is recommended by most physicians.
6. Make a list of physical exercise you can practice and do it.
7. The first few pounds are easy to lose; after this is getting harder and harder.
8. Don’t get too excited after you lose a few pounds.
9. Don’t go back to your old habits and diet because those pounds are coming back extremely fast and you are going to add some more on top.
10. After you lose the weight you want, you have to follow the Maintain Weight program.
11. You should weigh yourself every day, at the same time of the day, best is in the morning. If you gain more then 2 pounds go back to your Weight Loss program until you shed those 2 pounds.
12. If you gain weight too fast following your Maintain Weight program, this needs to be adjusted.
13. Commitment, Motivation, Determination, Planning are everything in this game.
The Weight Loss programs I will provide in this blog are natural diet programs. The calories count is based on Food and Drug Administration and National Institute of Health standards.
The Weight Loss and Maintain Weight programs have to be planned very detailed. If you can’t do this please contact me at info@weightndiet.com and we’ll work out your plan.

Weight Management for Body Shaping and Healthy Living

Weight Management is not an easy job, and after turning 40 it really becomes a huge problem. Different lifestyle, lack of exercise, body aging lead to metabolism changes which affect your weight. To lose weight you either have to go into starvation mode (not recommended) or you really have to commit to a Diet and Exercise program.
It’s all about calories: how many you eat and drink versus how many you burn. It’s that simple. I am not offering you easy schemes and programs to lose weight. There is no such thing. It all depends on you. You have to be highly motivated, determined and very well organized to stick to your Weight Management programs for the rest of your life. I am talking about programs and not only one program because I am suggesting you to have two diet and exercise programs: one “Lose Weight” program and one “Maintain Weight” program. In this blog, I will actually share with you the information I gathered in years of research and provide you with links to calculation tools for diet, so you can build your own Loss and Maintain Weight programs.
