Strategic Planning To Your Weight Loss


Planing  to start a weight loss program in an effective way you must play strategic. Plan it in forward and FOLLOW your plan. Here are few tools that work nicely if you use them right. These tools I'm setting here are simple and easy to use: Goal setting, Food diary, exercise plan, food recipes and your weight loss results. Every steps is a vital one if you wish to live a healthy life.


Step 1. Goal Setting (weight loss)

Measure your weight and find out where you are now.  Check out your preferred healthy weight, how many calories you need to intake each day to maintain your current weight and how many many calories you have to reduce to reach your weight loss goal. Great phase to live a healthy life.


Step 2. Food Diary

The smartest thing ever. Your food diary starts the day with your goal of calorie intake allowance of the day. Then you document everything you eat and, as you add things you've eaten, it tells you how many calories you have left. If you like you can use the food diary for further measurements as how many grams of protein, fat, carbohydrate and fibre you have taken in. This tool is a fab. It keeps you on the track, but you have to be honest and write everything in it, not to leave anything behind. Who are you cheating on...yep your self. 


Step 3. Exercise plan

Your Exercise plan can be in a schedule form and shows what to do and when to do it. You can also keep a diary to keep track of the extra calories you burn during exercise. If you write down how much you exercise, you will find out how fast and effective you boost up just by comparing former results to what you are able to do now. A great motivation to do a little extra exercise, and that exercise helps further weight loss.


Step 4. Healthy Recipes

Be careful her. There are thousands of healthy recipes. Choose the easy and the less complicated ones. If you keep it simple you will keep up with your pace in consuming healthy food. You can calorie count your own recipes. Remember to choose recipes with variety of vegetables and fruits. If you follow an interesting recipe you will be able to count the calories in the meal and if you think this is a problem, then you are wrong. This will encourage you when you have the chance to see how much energy you intake in your daily meal.


Step 5. Weight Loss Results

Weight loss is a hard work and can't be done with out you alone. SO try to do some things to gear up your morals. There's nothing so satisfying as a nice downward slope on a weight loss graph. You can record and track your weight loss, inch loss and body fat percentage.






A friend of mine once gave me a coffee cup with a picture of Garfield on it. Under the picture is written: "Eating is social, but when you diet, you diet alone" True but only if you let it be. One way to live a healthy life is to be social and enjoy everyday life to the full.
