Weight Loss

We all look for little things that can help us with weight loss.  I’m going to share with you a few weight loss secrets, you can incoporate into your diet or your day to day activities. 

Get rid of the soda, diet and regular soda plus, the sugary fruit juices/drinks.  These liquids are simply empty calories.  That means we add more calories to our daily intake and get no real hunger relief benefit.  It’s extra calories we do not need.  You could knock off at least 300 calories/day!

Ok, so you say, ‘But I’m drinking, diet soda.’  Guess what, research is showing signs that the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas or drinks stimulates the brain into thinking you are hungry as do caffeine drinks! To be honest with you, I’m a 4 cans of Diet Pepsi a day drinker and it’s got to go!!

How about increasing the number of steps you take each day.  The goal is to take at least 10,000 steps every day.  Get a pedometer, (they’re inexpensive) clip onto your pants and see how much you walk on an average day.  Then think of ways you can increase the number of  steps gradually…   Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a good place to start.  Take a walk on your lunch break or park farther away from the front door. 

All these little things can be done to cut and burn calories without much effort on your part to kickstart little stages to your weight loss journey.
