12 Simple And Effective Weight Loss Tips For The Year

By:


Many people set themselves new resolutions at the beginning of each New Year to lose weight and eat healthy. They begin these with very good intentions however, many fall by the wayside and by the end of January they have given up. There are many factors that make people give up. Not being fully committed or trying to do too much are common factors.

If you have set yourself resolutions to lose weight or to improve your health then, you will increase your chances of following through by breaking them down into smaller targets. The actions to achieve your main health goal can be achieved over a 12 month period as follows:

Month 1
If you miss out on a breakfast each morning then, you are missing out on the most important meal of the day. Make the habit of eating a healthy breakfast from the first month.

Month 2
Rehydrating the body is very important. Make sure you drink enough filtered water during the day.

Month 3
Eating fish is very healthy. Eat fish twice a week especially oily fish like mackerel and herrings.

Month 4
Get active. Do regular exercise for about 30 minutes 3 to 4 days a week. If you have kids make it a family affair.

Month 5
Cut your intake off fatty foods especially, dairy products. Use semi skimmed milk rather than full fat milk.

Month 6
Reduce your intake of salt. Use healthier alternatives like herbs and spices. If you have to use it use sea salt or rock salt.

Month 7
Increase your intake of green vegetables such as broccoli, kale and spinach. These are highly nutritious and full of iron which is good for the blood.

Month 8
Improve your kids health by giving them healthier school lunches to eat. Include lettuce and tomatoes in their sandwiches and plenty of fruit.

Month 9
If you enjoy snacks between meals make sure they are healthier ones such as fruit. If you put layers of butter on your bread or toast why not use virgin olive oil instead. Olive oil especially, extra virgin oil is lower in saturated fats

Month 10
Reduce your intake of red meat. Include more vegetarian dishes to add variety to your weekly diet.

Month 11
Eat more fruit with different colors. This can include strawberries, apples, blackberries or whatever fruit is in season.

Month 12
For special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas add healthier side dishes that include plenty of seasonable vegetables.



If you have a health condition or food allergy consult with your doctor first before changing your diet or exercise routine.
