So, let's start at the basics. You want to lose weight, but how to start?
I am going to briefly outline a 10 part plan. I will be going into each part in more depth in my free weekly e-zin, but the workable bones are going to be here.
1. WHY? To lose weight, we first need a motivation. Although we all know this, quite often what happens is that we take someone else's desires as our motivation and then fail. The motivation must be ours own. It does not matter how basic it may be, if it lights a fire of desire in us, it will galvanize us to achieving our goals. Fitting back into an old pair of jeans, kindling the passion in our partner, finding a new partner, living to see our kids / grandkids grow up; Whatever the reason is emotional or for physical health, the WHY must always be satisfied.
2. DREAMS. A diary with our end results clearly marked and pictureally shown always helps. A picture of you in earlier years, the perfect beach, the grandkids, the perfect partner; a reference you can turn to help you stay focused on the why and your goal. Here the jokes and stories also help!
3. PLAN. All great journeys are planned, and this is no exception. Knowing your goal and then how you intend to reach it, sensibly, is absolutely essential. This way you always know if you are on track, if the course is a little too hard so you can adjust, or too easy ..
Without a 'map' you will probably get lost, de-motivated and then give up.
4. FRIENDS AND FAMILY. We need these guys as allies, or at least on the side. Having your mates coming round with pizzas or Ben and Jerry does not help. I will be covering the easiest ways to handle these guys in a couple of weeks, but at the moment, avoid orlist …..!
5. FOOD. To lose weight, we must eat. It may seem to be contradictoryorily, but if we do not eat, and eat well, the body 'panics' and starts to store. To aid the body lose weight it needs regular balanced delicious meals. Taste is important. It also needs fears and diversity. Remember, the body is not just the arms, legs, head and torso, it is emotional as well. If you feel cheated, or have serious craving, this effects your body and also your willpower.
6. MENUS. Like the plan above, meals should also be planned, probably at the start of a week, but with options so that if the unforeseen happens you will have room to move and it will not hinder your progress. Discipline is important, but so is the ability to be flexible.
7. SUPERFOODS. Adding these to your diet can help no end. In the special report I talk about every day superfood's and how you can use them.
8. WATER. Water is absolutely essential, we need it to help move the gunk out! Also to hydrate and puff out our cells, which helps the rejuvenation.
9. SLEEP. This is when your body recharges and rejuvenates, and can also break down the fat to be removed. To start with, while your body adjusts to the changes you are making and is spring cleaning you will probably need more.
10. EXERCISE. This can mean a walk in the park, running up stairs, dancing in the bedroom, sex, or taking an exercise class. Exercise helps kick start our metabolism which allows us to burn calories faster, tones and stops flabbiness as the fat comes off, and helps or hearts and lungs rebuild and strengthen. Start off gently and build as you get stronger and more confident.
I hope these pointers help, happy slimming!
