Weight control involves proper eating habits and exercise regimes. To lose weight you have to develop a plan and stick to it. If you want your weight loss to last forever, follow this advice.

How To Lose Weight

The key to safely and effectively lose weight is to get more exercise and eat less. To lose one or two pounds a week you need burn approximately 500 calories more than you eat daily. You need to cut out excess starches and salt. This helps you to loose water weight because you reduce your fluid retention.

• It is recommended to drink approximately eight glasses of water a day.
• Exercise often. The best methods of weight loss tends to be from cardio exercising because it burns calories and keeps it burning after your workout. You should also add strength training for your muscles.
• Stay away from quick weight loss diet schemes. Any program that promises you more than two or three pounds of fat loss a weak is not healthy especially on dieting alone.
• Your weight loss should not be tracked every day. This can be discouraging and you can back track if you are not where you would like to be.

What Are Effective Weight Control Methods?

Weight control is important once you get to the weight you want. You can easily gain the pounds back. The key again is to stick to a plan.

• Get a partner. Chances are if you start a weight control plan with a friend or family member you two can keep each other accountable. Join a gym or get a few exercise DVD’s. Set up a time at least every other day to meet and exercise.
• Reduce your stress. Stress can lead to nervous conditions, which can change your hormones and slow your metabolism.
