Tell me your weight loss tip/trick?
I am NOT talking about diet pills, magic beans, or a way to blast off fifty pounds in five minutes. Im talking realistic ways. Here are mine so far.
Eat less junk-brownies, candy, chips, ect
Eat smaller portions. No five pound steaks
Find ways to make healthy foods appealing. Ive taught myself to eat PLAIN oats for breakfast, but it can get boring, so sometimes I add half a chopped peach or mash half a banana in.
I have cut down on meat and dairy. No fiber there, so I sub in fibrous items.
No soda or juice. Water is best.
I walk quite a bit, and strength train for muscle. No, Im not hulk girl, its just for toning up.
I run in place and do weighted boxing punches for cardio.
I take a probiotic for digestion, keeps the insides humming along smoothly.
I walk more than once a day so Im not sitting on my bum too long.
I keep a journal. I think its good to keep track of exercises done and calories eaten. Keeps me from eating too much by accident.
I also dont stuff myself when I eat.
I try to select organic foods when I can.
If Im craving junk (which rarely happens now), I take a quick walk, and drink some water and/or eat something nutritious to so I don't run for a donut.
What are your tried and true methods/tips? I have lost eight pounds and my waist has shrunken and my arms and legs are showing more defined muscle and not so jiggly!
