5 Simple Solutions to Weight Loss

Are you tired of hard, complicated diets that simply do not produce the results that you are looking for? You are absolutely not alone, because there are people all over the world that are yearning for simple solutions to weight loss that will drive results. Research has shown that 98 percent of all people who diet end up gaining their weight back because extreme diets simply do not work. But there are weight loss solutions that are simple, natural, healthy, and drive results. Rather than going for a quick fix diet, you can create a healthier, more nutrient rich way to lose weight. Here are five simple solutions to weight loss.

1 - Stop eating before you get full.

Always leave something behind on your plate. Eat until you are feeling about 80 percent full. You can always go back and eat the rest later, after all. Do not start eating if you are not actually hungry. These tactics will allow you to eat plenty of food without starving, simply because you are eating only when you are meant to, and only until you are satisfied. The real key to healthy weight loss is moderation and portion control.

2 - Do not allow yourself to become too hungry.

Hunger means your blood sugar is low, and your brain is feeling starved. This allows you to be vulnerable to the idea of making poor food choices. If you are hungry too often or for too long, your body will go into fat storage mode instead of fat burning mode. Eat proactively, meaning eating small meals every few hours, never skipping meals under any circumstances. If you can't eat a full meal, keep a healthy snack on hand instead.

3 - Eat a worthwhile breakfast every single day.

Breakfast is what is going to jump start your metabolism, getting your body going and allowing you to burn calories. Your metabolism works at its best when you fuel it every few hours. By morning, it's been a while since you ate, so if you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism will not wake up to start burning calories again.

4 - Give your body what it needs, which means healthy proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Your brain and your body need carbohydrates and glucose for energy, and fatty acids and proteins for energy. If you do not get the right balance or right amount of these nutrients, your body will tend to store fat rather than converting it into the fuels that your body needs.

5 - Take a multivitamin every day, along with a fish oil supplement.

Don't stress about trying to get the nutrients that you need through food, because this causes overeating. Instead, choose a multi vitamin designed for your gender and age, and throw in the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oils to promote health and weight loss.

Eating has been my problem. I am in good shape but can never quite get those 6 pack abs.

#2 David at Animal-Kingdom-Workouts.com on 01.10.09 at 10:25 am

Great article. The only thing I would add regarding the point on not getting too hungry. Make sure you have healthy food around the house like fruit and vegetables so that when you do snack, you’re not eating cookies or candy bars!

This article has some great points. I just wanted to comment on a couple of them. The second solution is one that I think far too many people don’t think about. I now make sure that I am NEVER hungry when I go grocery shopping. It really does make a big difference. And the third idea- eating a worthwhile breakfast. This is another often overlooked key. I now have a “good” fruit smoothie each morning. Not a “mostly juice, lots of sugar, not much else, loaded with useless calories” concoction, but a whole fruit, whole grain, flax, high-nutrient slosh-type thing that loads me with a lot of great stuff. Find something that works for you. Experiment. And don’t give up.

One thing that I’ve really found helpful is eating lots of smaller meals each day, instead of a couple big ones. Great article!

Wonderful tips you have here. I have to admit though, number 1 is by far the HARDEST one for me. ESPECIALLY around the holidays.

#6 shaunjudy on 11.16.09 at 7:07 am

I have been working on eating healthy and man its hard to stay away from sugar. Its every were!

#7 shaunjudy on 11.16.09 at 7:40 am

Another issue I had was eating to fast. I have worked on counting as I chew and that has helped out.

#8 Jim on 11.21.09 at 6:27 pm

Great article! With regards to #1, brains are about 20 minutes slower in processing information regarding satiation. It’s important to eat slow preventing over eating.

#9 insanity workout on 12.01.09 at 7:45 pm

every one I ever eat with tells me I’m the slowest eater on the planet. I’ve never done it intentionally – been a slow eater my whole life. I’ve never had a weight issue. I recommend it.

#10 Insanity on 02.21.10 at 9:25 am

Eating seems to always be the issue with losing weight. If you workout you have to eat right, otherwise its going to be an uphill battle on keeping the pounds off

#11 Ask The Fitness Dude on 02.25.10 at 2:23 pm

I agree with this article. So many times we continue to stuff our faces with food, even when we are not hungry anymore.

#12 Cindy on 03.13.10 at 5:28 pm

I tried to skip the breakfast thing and just do tea. It didn’t work. Good points.
