Losing weight can be a hard struggle especially if you've put on so much weight, but with exercising and eating right you'll definitely get off the over-weight department. The choice to exercise and eat right is yours to make. Remember it took a while for you to put on so much weight, you're not going to lose it by magic or a snap of your finger. Taking weight-loss pills is also not advisable, because pills like that are designed to fail, but exercises and the right diet will help you achieve your fitness goals. Checkout my post on weight loss exercises here . For starters you'll need to stop drinking regular and diet sodas/soft drinks.
According to health experts you could lose up to 35 pounds in one year if you drink water each time you have a craving for soda or soft drinks. Drink more water and cut down your alcohol consumption. Alcohol is actually the refined juice of natural foods which makes it concentrated sugar and you know sugar makes you fat easily. You also need to cut down on your salt and sugar intake because they make you gain water weight.
While shopping for groceries read food labels and avoid anything with saturated fat. Saturated fats are not heart friendly, but unsaturated fats are. Also Omega 3-fatty acids are also heart friendly and boost your immune system. Checkout the list of foods and drinks to avoid when trying to lose weight below.
1. Cakes
2. All baked goods made with white flour
3. Potato Chips
4. Fast foods
5. Cookies
6. White bread and pasta
7. Fried foods
8. Alcohol
9. Ice cream
4. Plain Jam
5. Salted or Smoked nuts
6. Chocolate Fudge
7. Candy

ReplyDeleteHoney do you mean 57kg or 57pounds. If you'd like to lose weight, simply read my post on weight loss exercises. I'll be sharing some of my workout videos as soon as I can. By the way if you weigh 57kg , that's not bad, though I don't know your full body statistics, but I'm a sz6 and I weigh around 52kg. :) . Thanks for the compliment too.
DeleteYou have said it all my dear - The fear of sugar is the beginning of weight loss. Recently I gained 10kg because of my unhealthy diet, but, now I've stopped taking sugar, I can see a change. It's a process, but, I will get there - of that I;m sure :)
