Wieght loss and healthy living tips

I am going to tell you that changing you life style will not be easy, you may have to give up you favorite food. or turn off your favorite show to workout. But in return you will have a healthier body. Basically the secret to losing weight is to burn more calories then we take in, that is the most simple way to put it. I am going to show you ways I've changed my lifestyle to make it healthier and introduce you to tools that can help you.

Step 1 Set a goal

Setting a goal is important for achieving anything in life. First goal you need to make is your major goal. Such as, I want to lose x number or pounds or I want to have a bmi of 23 or I want to fit in this pair of jeans. Then set how long you want it to take. Now break this up into minor goals, for example lets say you want to lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks your minor goals will be to lose 1 pound this week and so forth. Don't be afraid to tweak your minor goals. Lets say you only lost .8 pounds last week instead of 1.2 pounds that you wanted to simply change next weeks' minor goal so that it puts you back on track in a couple of weeks.

Tips

Write your current goals on a piece of paper and carry it around with you.

Write your goals in places which you will notice them often so that you will be reminded of them.

Tell friends about your goals so they can encourage you and keep you on track

Just one quick comment on protein intake. I was taught that the amount of meat we should eat in a day is roughly the size of our fist, not every meal. If we take in too much protein, it is stored in our body as fat, thus hindering weight loss progress. For those making protein shakes/smoothies after a workout, our bodies can't absorb more than 30g of protein after a workout, so keep the serving size just under that. I would recommend no more than 20g in a shake, just to play it safe. Everything on here is amazing. Great work!
