Six Tips To Lose Weight

Rapid weight loss can be a safe process as long as you realize that your body is not the enemy and that you need to work with it as a team and not against it. Here are six tips that will prove to be a powerful weapon in your fight against excess weight, provided you follow them thoroughly.
 
Tip: 1
The first and most important tip that lies at the bottom of a healthy program for losing weight is to avoid diets. Short-term diets can cause serious damage to your organism and to your immune system too because unless you eat a balanced diet you can end up with muscle loss and that should be avoided at all costs. The side effects consist of a slower metabolism which is the main reason why 95% of all dieters gain weight back.
 
Tip: 2
To lose weight permanently but safely, you must eat balanced meals, which means that your daily diet should be based on a mixture of lean proteins, fresh fruits, good fats, fibrous carbohydrates, and complex carbohydrates. Don't go for a low-carb diet because carbs are necessary for the well-functioning of your body as they provide energy for different activities such as exercising and brain functions.
 
Tip: 3
Lifting weights and resistance training are two other very safe methods to lose weight rapidly that should be included in an effective workout program. This way you will be both losing fat and maintaining your muscle tone. Don't worry about fat turning into muscles because it is not going to happen. A balanced diet and good exercise should do the trick!
 
Tip: 4
Take some lessons before exercising because unless you learn how to breathe, stretch, position your body, and lift weights correctly, you could risk getting injured. It is crucial to learn how to exercise the correct way with a proper form and posture to have better results and not get injured.
 
Tip: 5
Don't push yourself and don't overtrain! You don't really need to spend two hours a day exercising to get the shape you have been dreaming of. People, in general, think that the more you exercise, the more fat you will burn.
 
But guess what?
That is not necessarily true, because too much exercise leads to overtraining and overtraining leads to injuries, lack of energy and fatigue, muscle loss, mood swings, a weaker immune system, and nagging pains and aches. Keep in mind that your workout should be between 30 and 60 minutes long consisting of hard training combined with days of lower intensity training.
 
For those of you who haven't exercised until now, you should begin with 4 to 5 days for 2 or 3 weeks to get yourself and your body used to this new activity.
 
Tip: 6
The key to rapid and safe weight loss is to talk to your doctor because as long as you aren't in good health you cannot participate in regular training programs therefore you should see your doctor before engaging in physical exercise.
 
So there you have it! All it takes for you to get rid of the excess weight is to follow these six tips that are bound to get in back in shape in no time, without putting your health at risk. Surround yourself with healthy foods and a normal number of calories and exercise daily to achieve great results.
