Tips To Lose Weight By Christmas!
| The holiday season is coming up fast and you still can't get into your little black dress. So what can you do? nnHere are a few tips and tricks to help you lose weight in time for that special party.nn1) Size counts!nnIt is not just what you eat that counts but the size of the portions. It is a sad fact of life that the majority of us now eat too much. Our serving sizes have gradually increased ever since the end of the depression after the war years. You may well be eating all of the correct foods but if you are consuming too much you will never drop those pounds. nnWhen possible, sit down to dine and savour every morsel. Cut down your portion size by 10% to begin with - more than that and you will in all probability feel somewhat deprived. Start every meal with either a vegetable juice, soup or a salad as this will help to lower your calorie intake. Stop eating when you are full and not when your plate is empty. nn2) Avoid alcohol nnSlow down, I am not suggesting you avoid alcohol forever, just for a couple of weeks before the real party season begins. Alcohol is filled of empty calories but that is not the sole reason why it is so perilous for those of us on a diet. It lowers our inhibitions and leads us to drift from our diets. There is no other time that a burger and chips tastes so delightful than after a drinking session.nn3) Stroll away those poundsnnYou knew that exercise would ultimately come up. It is a unusual story on weight loss that does not mention getting active. You do not need to join a gym though. Any form of activity that you enjoy will work although it does help to vary the routine. nnWalking is a wonderful exercise - experts suggest that we should walk at least 10,000 steps a day, more if we are trying to lose excess fat. Not only does it help achieve a slimmer body, it also builds bone density and helps protect you against breast cancer, heart disease and stroke. Now where are your walking shoes?nnSwimming, running, cycling, roller blading are all excellent ways to get your limbs moving. Even, if the gym isn't your scene, there is no excuse for not getting in shape. Healthy eating combined with regular working out is the sole long term answer to losing pounds.nn4) Cheat!nnIf you don't manage to lose the pounds by Christmas, then cheat. There are a lot of clever things you can do that will make you look slimmer. Dressing head to toe in the same tone can work. nnNow don't go all black on me - yes it is slimming but it is also a little boring. If you do insist on wearing gloomy colours always include a hint of colour to help raise your mood. Add heels to finish the look. Flat shoes add pounds to even the slimmest model.nnStand straight. Most of us do not have great posture. If you stand properly you immediately look as if you are more toned. Pilate lessons are excellent for posture and fans claim they also perk up your sex life as well.nnFinally, savour the party season - after all, life is far too short to be unhappy over a couple of extra pounds! |
