Weight reducing tips

want to reduce weight know how
 
 
 
I lost 35 pounds in 4 months and am not done yet. Being a nutritional expert ( Ph.d in clinical nutrition) it has not been any easy road for me , but strong will power, persistence and self control and knowledge goes a long way. These days with all the internet information at our finger tips it is not difficult to acquire knowledge, but on the other hand one should not believe everything available. So keeping all this in mind I would love to share some tips with all you Divas, hoping they will be of help.
1) Its all about being in negative balance- Your body is like a bank account if you spend more than you deposit your account becomes smaller.
2) Change your lifestyle-If you’re calling this a “diet,” then you’re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you’re changing your habits – and you’re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance.
3) Read the labels all the way to the last, read the calorie count, fat content and serving sizes.
4) Snack miserly - best are the fruits and raw vegetables.
5) identify your exercise, goo the gym if thats what you like , dance, walk whatever you can do  to deplete your account
6)Set realistic goals
7)Add variety to your diet.
8) Drink lots of water.
9)Sugar is the evil that tastes good- cut back on your intake of table sugar you can get your bodies need by eating fruits, vegetables , cereal dals , there is no nutritional requirement to have extra table sugar , its just to satisfy your taste buds.
10) Last but not the least don't compare yourself with oters, you are a beautiful individual and every ones body reacts differntly.
Oh I can go on forever , but it is important first to know your calorie needs and then calorie count of different foods , you acn always google it , serving size is important, will bring a copy of food exchanges  and serving size if anybody is intersted.
