your search through the web, you would come across lots of fad diets with
unrealistic promises. These diets can make you go through very restrictive
methods in losing weight. At the start, they may help you achieve your
goals, but since they are too restrictive, most of them cannot guarantee
long term results.
93.Buy clothes that are smaller - Buying smaller clothes can provide you with
more motivation in losing weight. It can offer you the kind of challenge that
you are looking for. Make sure though that what you are trying to do is
achievable, so that you won’t get discouraged. Aside from that, buy clothes
that can really make you look good, so that you would be excited in fitting
into them.
94.Eat in restaurants wisely - Eating in restaurants on a regular basis can make
you gain weight. Thus, doing it just on certain occasions would be better.
Aside from that, you should also be mindful on the foods that you order.
Avoid foods that have been deep fried. On top of that, you should also
choose foods from the menu that are less fatty.
95.Get enough sleep - When you deprive your body with its needed time to
rest, you would actually be lowering down your metabolic rate. This can
result to becoming sleepy the next day, due to lack of energy. Aside from
that, when you lack sleep, it can make your body compensate for it, by
boosting your appetite.
96.Get some time to relax and relieve stress - Stress can become one of the
things that can make you gain more weight. This is because, when you are
under a lot of stress, you might consider eating lots of foods as your outlet.
Thus, you should look for ways to become stress free, such as watching a
movie, listening to good music, and practicing yoga.
97.Check out exercise videos on the web - If you don’t have time to go to gyms
to workout, keep in mind that there are exercise videos available on the
internet today. Most of these videos can be accessed for free. Thus, all you
need to do is to download them, and watch and follow them anytime you
want. Such videos can show you different types of routines; and, all you
have to do is to select the ones you like best. 98.Limit your coffee intake - Limiting your coffee intake can help you lose
weight, especially if you usually use cream and sugar with it. However, this
does not mean that coffee itself, can actually cause you to gain weight.
Drinking coffee can actually boost your energy, which is good to use just
before going to the gym. Aside from that, recent studies indicate that it
does not dehydrate you as what others would say.
99.Make sure to keep yourself as active as possible when attending parties -
When you attend parties, there is always a tendency to overeat, or to drink
lots of sodas that are loaded with calories. To make sure that you won’t
gain too much from it, you should be as active as possible. Go around and
chat with your friends for the most part of it. Aside from that, when there
are people dancing, then you should join them.
100. Gather more information about losing weight as much as you can -
Becoming knowledgeable about losing weight is one of the best things that
you can do to achieve it. You can do your research through the internet, or
by buying books about it. However, you should also apply what you would
learn, so that it would be put into good use.
101. Get yourself tested for body fat - If you want to make sure if you are
able to hit your goals or not, then you can get yourself tested for body fat.
Getting tested does not have to be done on a weekly basis. You can do it
prior to starting your program, and again a month or two after. Some gyms
offer it at reasonable prices; thus, you should visit them soon.
