Weight Loss Tips

Have you been suffering from a weight loss 360?  Were you living a lifestyle that caused you to pack on extra body fat but made healthy changes to reduce the pounds, only to slip right back into all those old habits again?  It happens to millions of people every day.

This type of weight loss 360 that sends you back into your old fat gain habits can be extremely frustrating and discouraging.  It can make you feel as though you’ll never get ahead and stay there. 

Stop that Weight Loss 360

To stop that weight loss 360 before it happens, use the following tips to stay ahead of the game.

Pay Attention to What You Eat

Even if you’re done losing body fat and are in your healthy BMI, it doesn’t mean that you can go right back to eating the way you did when you were gaining. That’s exactly how a weight loss 360 happens. Instead, you don’t need to be completely restrictive all the time, but you should avoid mindless eating.

Track Your Weight

Keep an eye on your weight. Get on your bathroom scale once per week at the same time.  This will help you to keep an eye on things.  It will help you to make sure you know where you stand, will help you to spot a weight loss 360 early on so you can take action to correct it, and it will remind you to remain accountable for what you eat.

Do Your Workouts

The most important factor for weight loss is diet.  The most important factor for preventing weight gain is exercise.  Get your minimum of 30 minutes of activity each day.  Mix things up so you’re always doing something fresh and enjoyable.  Even a brisk walk can do the trick as long as it raises your heart rate and breathing. A stroll doesn’t count.

Eat Clear Soups and Salads

Start your big meal with a soup based on a clear broth (avoid cream soups) or have a big salad with a light dressing (avoid cream dressings, too). This will help you to start feeling fuller on a lighter calorie load so that you won’t need to consume as much of your main meal in order to feel satisfied.  And yet, you’ll still be able to enjoy your favorite foods.  This is a very helpful step for avoiding letting a weight loss 360 happen.
