Livingstrong Healthy Tips To Lose Weight

Living a strong and healthy life can be achieved by anyone who really cares about his/her well being.

There are thousands of Websites, books, articles and general information about how to lose weight fast, how to become thin fast. Thousands of diet centers, "how to lose weight" infomercials that try to promote their products and want to sell you false ideas and false products to make a quick buck in detriment of your health, your well being...and your pocket.
That is why I have decided to write more often about this problem, to kind of controvert just a little bit at least the harm that many of you are exposed to when watching TV or reading some mediocre article about health when you navigate the Internet.

First of all let me tell you something extremely important: there is no miracle fix to lose weight. That is it. Period.
There is no magical pill that can make you lose the weight fast and in a healthy way.
There is no special diet that can make you lose weight fast and in a healthy way.
There is no special machine that can make you lose weight fast without actual physical effort from you. Like this one -lots of laughs- for "body slimming"

Once you are honest enough to admit that you do have a problem with food, that you like to over indulge yourself by overeating unhealthy foods and cannot control it, then you decide you want to make a serious change in your life. But YOU have to want it. YOU have to desire to become healthy, not thin, not fast thinness, that won't work. Everything in life that is worthwhile takes effort, courage and time to achieve it. So, unless you actually have a physical problem, like hypothyroidism for example that impedes you from losing weight even though when eating healthy and exercising correctly, then nothing should stop you from achieving your goal:

losing weigh the healthy way and learning how to keep it off.

Having said that, I will give you few advices this week about how to lose weight. Few advices well followed are worth way more than thousand of false tips. However, I will continue to write in the future more tips and ideas about how to eat healthy. So keep posted and feel free to ask questions. You can post your questions in the comments section or you can email me.

Livingstrong Healthy Tips To Lose Weight

1. Calculate how many calories you have to eat to maintain your present weight. Reduce your daily calorie intake by 500 off the total you got. Calculate your calories every week after you weight yourself.
2. Exercise at least 50 minutes 5 times a week. But the exercise has to be cardiovascular maintaining your heart beat between 80 to 85 % for at least 20 minutes.
3. Avoid greasy food and fast food. Remember that we can eat everything BUT in moderation. Specially if you exercise you need to eat some carbohydrates for energy. But don't over do it -eating excessive amount of carbs- because they have tons of calories.
4. Be positive. Make yourself feel good. Try to be positive and encourage yourself every day. Picture yourself how you really want to look physically. Picture yourself wearing those tight pants you haven't worn in years, that sexy t-shirt that shows your shoulders. Picture your face without big cheeks and without that flabby double chin that has embarrassed you for so long. Picture yourself smiling to your friends, family, clients, co-workers with a thin face and bright smile.
5. If you drink alcohol beverages in abundance then you need to stop completely if you are serious about losing weight and being healthy. If you don't have a problem controlling your alcohol intake then you can have one or two drinks a week, preferably with your meals. If you are going to have a beer choose the light variety since it has less calories than the regular one. Vodka has way less calories than Brandy. Red wine and white wine are also good choices. But do not have more than two drinks per week.

That is all for now. Remember, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask in the comment section or you can 'email the author'.

Be kind to yourself and the world around you.
