Taking Small Steps For A Weight Loss Journey

For people on a bit healthier or obese side are always taunted for their weight. And this comes from family, friends, relatives and strangers or random people they meet.

Everyone becomes a weight loss adviser or therapist to help you lose weight by controlling your mind. They suggest you extreme diet plans or tell to crash diet or simply don’t eat. More they suggest you is to do extreme exercises at one go, at the beginning, itself.

But we all know how simple it is to suggest and how tough it is to follow.

Most of the days we envy people who eat a lot and not simple but fancy food but their body does not show even an ounce on it. They are God gifted. But metabolism also plays a role in it. Eating high calorie food and not showing up isn’t possible for all. We need to understand our body and its capabilities and work accordingly.

But that doesn’t mean that you simply crash diet from day 1, but rather make it a gradual process and find ways which work for you without disturbing your health or well being. If crash diet from day 1 your body will not understand what happened and why it’s not getting its fuel “ the food”. It is the result will start storing the little you eat and this way no effective weight loss will be visible.

So let’s know how to lose weight, we will not complicate it and understand this process in a very layman and easy day to a day implementation method.

1. First thing is to check your current weight and mark an achievable goal for a year

Which you want to achieve.

2. Suppose you weigh 90 kilos so the goal is to be 70 kilos by the end of 12 months. So total weight loss to be achieved is 20 kilos. Just allocate 2 kilos weight loss per month.

3. Breaking down the whole thing into small goals will make it easy for you to understand and achieve.
