Help with losing weight


You are overweight and you want help with losing weight.  In this article, I will give some tips to you on how to lose weight. 

When you lose those extra pounds, you will gain new confidence in life and you will also feel good about life. 

I will give some information in this post on how to lose weight but before that I want to you to consider the ‘WHY’ factor. You have to decide why you have to lose weight. When the ‘WHY’ is clear, you will be able to focus on your goals clearly. 

Think about your goal everyday or even every hour. The more you think about, more action you will take to lose weight. 

Think about all the bad things that have happened to you when you are overweight. The more you think about it, the more you will avoid eating junk food or any food with high calories.
A strong decision is really important for you success and let me remind you that losing weight starts with a mindset. 

If you have the right mindset and attitude you will get success in losing weight and also in life.
So let’s see how you can lose weight. Focus on cutting down your calories and burning calories. It’s simple math, when your calorie intake is low and you burn the extra calories through exercise, you will start to lose weight. 

The calories that you should cut are not calories from protein. You need to cut down calories from fat and carbohydrates. 

Always remember the following:

1)      1 gram of fat = 9 calories
2)      1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories
3)      I gram of protein = 4 calories

So reading the last paragraph you must have realized that you need to cut down calories from fat. You should not drink colas or any stuff that has lot of sugar. You should also avoid Junk food, burgers, pizza, fries etc. 

This will be difficult in the beginning because you might be used to this kind of food. After some time, you will lose the urge for junk food and you will start losing weight. 

Someone has said that it takes around 21 days to break a bad habit. Once you resist yourself to not eat any fatty stuff, the urge and cravings will usually go away after 21 days.

It takes work to lose weight but you should always think about how good you will feel when you lose weight.  To achieve anything worthwhile in life it takes sacrifice and losing weight will also take sacrifice. There are many people out there who might tell you that you can lose weight quickly but it’s always good to lose around I Kg (2.2 pounds) in a week. This is a healthy way. So you have to decide and do the math on how much weight you will have to lose in how many months.

You can also meet a dietician who can help you in making a good diet plan. 

One another tip that I will give you is to eat fruit whenever you feel to have a snack. It’s always good to keep some fruits in your car or office. 

So this has covered the diet part. Let’s speak on how you will burn those extra calories. You will have to exercise and you will have to do cardiovascular exercise. 

Cardiovascular exercise means, you will have to burn calories by doing swimming, walking, running jogging etc. 

You can also join a gym if you have ample time. You can run on the treadmill or use other cardiovascular training equipment. 

Some people are so busy nowadays that they don’t have time to work out because their schedule is so busy. 

I would suggest these people to walk to their office if it is close by. They can also use stairs of their office building instead of the elevator. 

If you are traveling by bus, it would be a good idea to get down one stop earlier and walk to your destination.  These are something that I have mentioned but I think you got the point. I would say get creative and try to burn those extra calories. If you think you need an exact plan or daily plan, I would recommend you to check out this course:


It has helped lot of people including me and I think it can help you also to lose weight.
