If You Want To Change Your Appearance.....


HERE I HAVE SOME ADVICES TO CHANGE... YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THEM, STEP BY STEP!!

1. Take it one step at a time
Start by paying attention to what you eat. Cut back on fat and sweets and add more fruit and vegetables. After you have that under control, add exercise. If you hate to do exercise try it for only 15 minutes a day at first, then a 1/2 hour. Keep in mind that while you are exercising you burn calories. Also, it will be perfect if you chose an activity that you enjoy.
2. Find a friend
It is always good to have support when you are trying to lose weight. Find a friend who wants to lose weight too and compare notes and maybe have a contest.
3. Use weights
Working out weights will build muscle and raise your metabolism so you will burn more calories. Also, muscle takes up less space than fat so you will be smaller but probably weigh more.
4. Eat fewer carbs
Don't eat as much bread and pasta and you will see a difference.
5. Set a goal
Set a limit to lose the weight and write it down. Put it somewhere you will see it daily.
6. Give up soda
If you drink a soda or 2 a day you are adding empty calories. If you find hard to stop completly, cut back at first and drink water instead.
7. Grill or boil
Avoid fried meat, grill and use lots of spices. You will get used to it and probably enjoy it more.
8. Don't buy junk food
When you go shopping, don't go on hungry and you will be less likely to buy junk food. Keep your home 'junk food free' so you won't be tempted to indulge.
9. Eat breakfast
Consume most of your calories early during the day and always eat breakfast. Don't eat after 8pm and not only will you avoid those added calories but you will sleep better.
10. Give yourself a treat
When you tell yourself that you can't have something you want. Give yourself a treat once a day and you won't feel you are missing out.
11. Use smaller plates
deceive yourself into believing that you are eating more by using a smaller plate.
12. Drink lots of water
Drink water when you are feeling hungry and you will get that "full" feeling.
13. Don't eat everything on your plate
Many times we eat just because it's there. Pay attention when you have had enough.
14. Eat five or six meals a day
Eating more frequently will keep you from getting hungry.
15. Plan your workout sessions
Write your workout sessions in your journal or planner.
16. Stay away from fad diets
Fad diets don't work. If you lose weight fast chances are that you will gain it back just as fast. It takes time to put it on and time to take it off.
17. Do several workouts a day
While you are watching TV do crunches and leg lifts or exercise thighs when you are sweeping.
18. Measure your food
If you decide to have junk food for a snack, be sure to control what you eat. In that way you will never feel bad with yourself.
19. Keep pre-cut vegetables
...and try to avoid those cravings.
20. Create Good Habits
when you practice any activity a lot of times it turns into habit. Create good nourishing habits
