13 weight loss tips for men
If you are a man chasing weight loss tips in magazines, newspapers and
the television, you may have already realized that there is not much aimed at
you, but plenty of advice for women. While all the lifestyle and fitness magazines ignore your
concerns, here are 13 weight loss tips that will help you toss those girly
magazines in the dustbin.
- Start your day off geared towards your goal of losing weight. Replace your usual breakfast with a health meal replacement shake. It will not only taste great but will also keep you feeling fuller for longer and therefore, make you eat less. Eventually, eating less will help you control your diet.
- Tell yourself to not eat anything after 9 p.m. Anything includes both healthy and unhealthy food. Plan your last meal at such a time that your body has enough time to utilize it before you go to sleep. Eating right before sleeping makes one store fat.
- When you go out, make sure you park it at the farther end of the parking space. This will help you in engaging in quick power walks every time you want to use the car. This will work wonders, especially if you have something heavy to carry all through the way till where your car is parked.
- Use Friday to eat moderate quantity's of your favorite food because of course you do not want to waste all your time eating healthy for 6 days only to store as much fat in one day as you burnt in 6 days.
- Spend the weekends working out. A lot of us can find a plethora of excuses to avoid working out on weekdays, but you must find time for burning extra calories on weekends. If you take out time for working out, with every workout weekend, you will be getting a step closer to your goal.
- If you do not feel like cooking on the stove, because you just don't have the time of energy, microwave the meals! Yes, there are health yet filling frozen dinners out there, you just have to find them. Make sure you have some of these in your freezer, there easier than going for fast food, saving you from that fat pill, and get you closer to achieving your goal.
- Eating after working out will help you burn more calories. Besides, working out makes you hungry soon after. Protein is the key here. You are trying to achieve two things with your work out, weight loss and muscle mass. Of the may nutrients you body need to build muscle, protein is #1. because your body can only process on average 30 grams of protein in 3 hours, you need consume protein before and after you work out. The best rule of thumb is 15 grams 20 minutes before, and 20 grams after your work out. you can do this easily with a protein shake.
- Always take the stairs when there is an option of going through escalators or flights of stairs. Climbing or running a few flights of stairs helps burn a lot of calories.
- Flavor food with the help of spices instead of high calorie ingredients such as sauces.
- Tell your friends and family about your weight loss goals as long as you don’t mind them being discussed. Talking about weight loss tips with a colleague or close friend will only motivate you to move harder towards your goal. Stay plugged into on line weight loss support groups, the most of people the people in them are genuinely there for the same reason.
- Post a picture of what you look like before starting the weight loss regimen on your bathroom mirror. Looking at your picture first thing in the morning as soon as you enter the bathroom will help you motivate yourself to achieve weight loss success. You may also buy a few clothes of a smaller size that you have always wished to achieve and try them every day to see the progress you are making at achieving your weight loss goal.
- Stock a box of granola bars or cereal bars at your desk and eat them as snack instead of pushing your fingers into a jar of candies.
- Keep junk food at the rear of your cupboard or refrigerator. Ensure that you have the base and easily accessible-through-hand area of the cupboard or refrigerator filled with fruits and other healthy ready-to-eat food. The best thing to do would be to not stack junk food in your cupboard at all, which may be difficult in the beginning and therefore you, can gradually reduce the consumption of junk and unhealthy food.
Thank you.
