Your top 10 most effective ways to lose weight

If, like most of us, you've put on a couple of pounds over the holidays, the following tips from registered nutritionist and co-founder of the YeartoSlim programme, Lucy-Ann Prideaux might come in handy:

YOUR TOP 10 MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT…

1) Eat less than you have been or exercise more – in other words you do need to create a calorie deficit in order to burn more calories than you consume in a day, BUT…

2) Do not starve. You will NOT lose fat if you starve yourself. Most people need only to drop their total calorie intake by 300 kcals a day – some by more and some by less – it just depends what the base-line or starting point is – and it often helps to have someone work that out for you!

3) Eat when you are hungry and stop when you feel satisfied. It sounds simple – and it is!

4) Eat real food – not powdered drinks as meal replacements. The process of digesting real solid food actually stimulates the metabolic rate. This is called the “thermic effect” of food, which cannot be achieved by liquid food or supplements.

5) Be consistent with your exercise which should involve aerobic activities and some kind of resistance training.

6) Get your diet “nutritionally” in order, and your exercise before complaining that it’s your genes, you have big bones” or that you have “a slow metabolism”! Sound nutritional practice and effective exercise is a very powerful combination indeed, and if its fast permanent results you want – then this is what you need to focus on.

7) If you want to lose fat permanently you need to put in some effort and be somewhat self-disciplined. You are the only person you are with 24 hours of every day!

8) STOP looking for short cuts to lose weight.

9) Your aim is to lose fat, not muscle and water. Anything that promises fast weight loss, will give you fast fat gain when you start living normally again! You are aiming to lose 1-2lbs a week, with a combination of effective eating and exercising.

10) Finally, don’t believe everything you read in magazines. If it sounds too good to be true – it probably is! Get the only information you will ever need to lose weight effectively and permanently by joining YeartoSlim today.
