Golden Rules, the 5 BEST ONES for Effective Weight Loss.
Golden Rule # 1, Set an achievable goal.
Don’t say you want to lose 10kg in one week, it is just NOT possible to do this in a healthy way!. The reason behind this is first, if you don’t achieve the goal,you’ll be completely demotivated and think that you can’t lose the weight you want to. You can! But you have to be realistic.. Remember, the average amount of weight that can be lost healthily per week is about 1 kg. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but believe me, it is! These soon add up.
Golden Rule # 2, Make sure you set a long term goal!
Too many people don’t and they then don’t know when to stop or they might just think enough is enough when they are still overweight.. You will want to watch out using this because if you set the goal too far away you may just forget about it or postpone any action because you’ll think that you have ages to achieve it. Soon enough you’ll realise you have run out of time. And you need to keep in mind that it is all very well to have short term weekly goals, but if you do not know where you want to end up you might get lost.
Golden Rule # 3, Don’t overdo it!
This really is advisable because you could seriously injure yourself or harm your body. You DON’T want to starve yourself and you don’t want to wear yourself out. Again, this is a HUGE demotivator and the main reason why a lot of people stop trying
Golden Rule # 4, Choose the right exercise for YOU!
If you need to you could get this done by visiting a personal trainer, but it isn’t necessary. Choose to do something you enjoy doing. You may like quiet walks or runs in the country, you may enjoy following exercise videos, you may even like joining a group exercise session. It’s up to YOU!
Golden Rule # 5, Eat the correct food (and the correct amount)!
Ways to accomplish this step include avoiding fattening foods. Also, if you’re full, STOP! You aren’t obliged to finish everything on your plate. If you’re full, leave it! Seriously, you can do as much exercise as you want, but if you carry on eating a load of rubbish nothing is going to change. . You will want to accomplish this carefully. It can be very dangerous if you take it too far. Anorexia and Bulimia are not things to be taken lightly. They are very serious mental conditions.
If you follow these golden rules to effective weight loss, you will find life easier, your progress more rapid and your successes more pronounced and frequent. Yu’ll achieve higher self esteem and self view. These are very important in life.
