What most people don’t know about weight loss

You probably already know that a great many Americans are obese or are at least somewhat overweight. With the lifestyle of Americans geared to being as productive as possible and doing whatever needs to be done to get the job done-it’s no wonder that healthy eating is one of the areas that is neglected.

Did you know that weight loss could be a relatively easy thing to do?

What do you think of when you think about weight loss? You probably envision time taken away from work and family to go sweat for an hour a night at the gym. For some this is the perfect avenue to weight loss and a great stress reliever. Maybe working out on the Stairmaster fills you with dread because you hate to work out. Don’t sweat it. Here are a few tips to help your weight loss program, which are especially helpful during the holiday season.

First, don’t eat several large meals in one day. This will pack in the calories and may make it hard to burn throughout the day unless you are very active.

Second, try to eat about six smaller meals through the day. Space them out about two to three hours away from each other. By doing this you will have more fuel through the day constantly feeding your tank, and you will not feel sluggish after eating three large meals.

Third, try working out with weights three to four times a week. You need about twenty minutes at each session to make a huge difference in your weight loss program. The thinking behind this is that weight lifting continues to burn more calories after you have worked out than doing something like walking, where you stop burning calories the minute you stop walking.

Try these few tips for your weight loss program and you will see the inches starting to melt off faster than most diets you have tried.
