5 Fat Loss Tips You Can Use Today
By admin | August 5, 2008
Fat loss can be a very frustrating process.
A big part of this frustration comes about because of all the hyped up before and after results you see in magazines and on infomercials.
When you constantly see fat loss claims like someone losing 54 pounds in 12 weeks, it can be tough to stay motivated when you’re only losing a pound a week.
And that makes you vulnerable to becoming frustrated. It also makes you vulnerable to fad diets and infomercial gadgets that don’t work.
That’s why your mental state and motivational strategies are so important when it comes to losing weight and staying in shape.
Here are five quick mental tips you can use to help you stay on track with your fitness program.
1. Determine the reality of your current situation. Be honest with yourself about where you are and how far you have to go.
2. Figure out the things you are doing now that you would not have gotten involved with, knowing what you now know.
Examples are smoking, drinking sugar laden soft drinks, junk food snacking late at night, spending most of your time on the couch, etc.
3. Do a complete and honest analysis of yourself and your skills regarding health and fitness. What do you do well? Where do you need to improve?
4. Determine a measure that you can use to gauge your progress.
5. Set specific goals for each day, week, and month of what you need to do to move yourself toward your goals and discipline yourself to accomplish these small goals that will lead you to big rewards.
