A Balanced Approach

First, we’d like to maintain that there’s nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight. The point we’re trying to get across is that it shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all. Because if all you’re worried about is your weight, it’ll be hard for you to stay motivated and focused when the results aren’t coming in as fast as you’d hoped.

Instead, you should focus on feeling good about yourself and feeling healthy. The cool thing about this approach is that you can “feel” those immediate results. After all, there’s no better feeling than finishing an intense workout, knowing you gave it your all. When you focus on this, you’ll feel a lot better about yourself during the process, and this will incidentally encourage you to work out more often, allowing you to lose weight—which was, after all, a big part of your goal!

Attitude

Did you know that your attitude can make all the difference when it comes to weight loss? Losing weight can be a long journey and it’s important to stay motivated if you want to reach a healthy weight and stay sane. Find things about it that make you happy, celebrate your successes, and reward yourself!

Bad Diet

You may think you’re doing everything right, but the frustrating lack of results tells you otherwise. There’s so much to learn when it comes to a healthy diet for weight loss and you may need to pay more attention to food labels, portion sizes, and the cooking process. 

Lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle can’t be achieved overnight, but you can pay attention to habits you can change on a daily basis to give yourself faster, lasting results. Going out for a walk or exercising at home is much better than sitting in front of the TV in the afternoon. Spending time with healthy people can also motivate you to change habits.

Ultimately, weight loss is all about a caloric deficit. As long as you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. Of course, there are some other factors that can affect this process, but this is true most of the time. Now, in order to lose a pound of fat, you need to make a deficit of 3,500 calories. This means you will either eat less, move more, or combine the two. There are apps that can help you calculate how many calories you need to stay at your current weight (TDEE – Total Daily Energy Expenditure), so you’ll know where you’re starting from.

Let’s say that you want to subtract 1,000 calories per day in order to lose weight. You can do it by eating 500 calories less than your TDEE and burning 500 more through exercise or other activity. By doing this, you can expect to lose 2 pounds per week and this is a healthy pace for almost everyone. This means that you can expect to lose around 8 pounds per month in the healthiest ways possible.

Skipping Breakfast

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day and if you skip it, you will likely eat more by the end of the day. Not only that, but you’re also more likely to binge on unhealthy, calorie-packed food. While skipping breakfast (or any meal) can seem like a logical way to eat less, it will probably backfire by the end of the day.

Slow Metabolism

Unfortunately, some people just have a slower metabolism and need to work harder to lose the same amount of weight compared to the others. This is often due to genetics and there’s nothing that you can do to change it.

Sleeping Habits

Eating right and exercising is often not enough for efficient weight loss. If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will be too tired for regular exercise and you’ll likely eat more, which will mess up the hard work you’ve been putting into the weight loss process.
