Easy Steps to Losing Weight and Living Healthily - Being Healthy and Fit

Weight loss doesn't have to be difficult and must not be done at the expense of your health. Being Healthy and Fit are two different things. There are athletes who are fit but are not healthy. Don't compromise your health by trying to undergo strenuous weight losing activities and missing out on important healthy food. Follow some simple steps below to achieve your desired weight. These steps will help you keep off the weight.
  • Have a healthy breakfast
  • Have healthy snacks
  • Drink a lot of water
  • Eat a balanced meal
  • Eat small portions of food - use small plates to help you achieve this
  • Drink green tea
  • Exercise daily - walk, run up and down the staircase, 100 star jumps a day.
  • Dance to your favourite music - I tried dancing for 5 minutes and I lost 30 calories; what do you think will happen if I dance for 30 minutes even with intervals
  • It is important to note that life is a gift and we need to cherish this gift of life by being joyful and thankful. You should enjoy the whole process of losing weight. If you have the mind of staying healthy weight loss will be easier. If one develops a mindset of staying healthy one makes healthy choices. You will reach for an apple instead of biscuit; grapes instead of peanuts; yoghurt instead of ice-cream.
Having said this, it is good to give yourself a treat once you achieve a target. Targets must be realistic and achievable. Go ahead, set realistic health and weight loss targets.
