5 Simple Weight Loss Tips For the Holidays

Tip 1: The Math Of Losing Weight

You have to understand that losing weight is like a mathematical formula. This means consuming less calories, just take enough of what your body needs. Find out how much calories you need for your daily consumption and then as a rule of thumb, you will need to reduce your daily calorie intake to around 500 calories if you intend to just lose each pound per week.
Tip 2: Increase Your Meal Intake

Yes, if you think that by eating 3 meals will reduce weight, you may be mistaken. And if you are skipping a meal, it may not be of much use as well. This is because your body will react by reducing the metabolism so that your body will conserve energy and therefore, lesser calories will be burnt by your body. The only result you might get is that you may become hungry but you are still not losing the weight you are targeting.
So next time, instead of having 3 main meals, split into 5 to 6 smaller meals so that you will still have the same 3 main meals but include another 2 small snack times. Just remember to reduce your intake per meal and not filling up your stomach to the brim each time.
Tip 3: Go Green With Vegetables And Fruits

Plenty of fruits and vegetables will be beneficial to your diet plans. So it is time to stock up your fridge. There are plenty of fibre and water in those fruits and vegetables and this helps because it will keep your stomach full. The benefits is because the fibre and water can make our stomach full and yet, our body maintains a lower calorie count because the fruits are relatively low in calories, and fat too. And there are plenty of healthy nutrients so that we can achieve a balance diet.
Tip 4: Start Getting Your Beauty Sleep

Any idea what is the simplest and most effortless way to lose weight? That's it! Sleep. The power of sleep is amazing. This is because it is proven that if you deprived yourself of sleep, you will get hungry easier and have an increase in your appetite as well. And this results in you eating excessively. So remember, get your 8 hours of sleep now.
Tip 5: You Cannot Escape This Tip, Exercise

Well, this final tip is really the most obvious, most important and one that most people hates. There is no magic formula, no quick weight loss magical pill. The best way is to exercise. As simple as that. If you tried your diet plan, and you may be seeing results for the first month, you will most probably reach a plateau. This is because your body is already used to your diet plans and making the necessary adjustments. In order to make a break through to reduce your weight, start exercising at least 3 times a week, with each exercise having a duration of 30 minutes.
