Tip #28: Inflammation and Weight Loss.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

Inflammation of the body is caused as a result of some kind of stress experienced by the body. This stress can be related to diet, lifestyle, or environment.  Dr. A Habits of Health (a book I recommend to everyone who wants to lose weight) devoted a full chapter of this subject.

Study show that Vitamin C, a powerful vitamin, can help put out the fire of inflammation. It can also help with some cancers, and heart disease.

I also recommend fresh air and sun light. You only need about 10- to 20-minutes a day. If you have fair skin, put on some sunscreen and a hat.  Spending a few minutes in the sun light will promote Vitamin D, which also helps promote good health.

Be sure to drink plenty of water, and get your Vitamin C.

Tip #27: Friends and Family Weight Loss Results.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

One of the best tips I can tell you is don’t do it alone.

If you’re goal is to lose weight, it is so much more fun, and you will stay on track so much better if you do it with a friend, a spouse, or one of your kids.

Instead of calling your girlfriend and going to a movie, where you’ll  smell all that popcorn, call her up and take her out for a walk, or go out and have a salad. Spend quality time with your friends and family.

Get a buddy. Lose weight with a friend or family member. They will help keep you on course and focused.

Tip #26: Improve Yours Abs While Driving.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

I heard about this and I thought it was so funny. I had to give this a try.

When you’re driving in your car, you can tighten your abs, by changing the angle of your rearview mirror – higher. You have to sit up straighter to see out. It’s supposed to improve your abs.

I adjusted my mirror and took off down the road.  At some point, I went to check the cars behind me and ended up looking at the roof of my inside of my car. It took me a second for this to register and by then I was laughing and realized – it worked.

It made me sit up a little straighter, tighten my stomach muscles, and add a little bit extra ump to my core strengthening.

Give it a try and drive safely.

Tip #25: Grocery Store Shopping and Weight Loss.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

If you have kids, you’re going totally get what I’m about to say. Don’t go to the grocery store hungry, and for goodness sakes, don’t take a bunch of hungry kids with you. If you do, you’ll load up on more items you didn’t plan for like: sugary, high carb, high fat, added junk in your cart.

Before you go to the grocery store, have a protein bar, granola bar, protein shake,  hard-boil a couple of eggs, get rid of the yolks – they’re high in fat, and just eat the  egg whites.

Eat healthier. Shop smarter and spend less, take a list with you.

Whatever you do… don’t go to the grocery store hungry.

Tip #24: Sleep and Weight Loss.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

A bedtime routine and a good night sleep are critical to losing weight. 

If you’re trying to lose weight, you have to have a good night sleep. This is when the body repairs itself.

 

Even on the weekends, stick to a bedtime and a wakeup routine. If you find that on the weekends you’re dragging, and exhausted, the reality is you’re probably burnt the candle a little too late during the week. Be mindful, and get to bed at a reasonable time. You’ll think better the next day.  Your body will be happier, and you’ll shed those unwanted pounds a whole lot easier.

 Good night.

Tip #23: Eating Out – Save Calories and Lose Weight.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

When you know you’re going to eat out, take your own salad dressing with you. If your goal is to lose weight, stay away from the salad dressing, especially the creamy ones; it’s just tons of extra calories. 

Instead take a healthy option with you. I like the small wishbone spritzers.  You can pop them in your purse.  Or use some olive oil with some balsamic or red wine vinegar.  Add a little salt and pepper. The other thing you can do is use a slice of lemon, a little salt and pepper.

Please stay away from the creamy house dressings. They are just loaded in calories that you don’t want.

Tip #19: The 2-Tlb. Spoon Rule and 3-Tips for Weight Loss.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

I want talk about how we can trick our brains with better choices and feel completely satisfied.

  • Do you have to have beer and hot dog at a baseball game?
  • Do you order a large popcorn when you go to the movies, and keep it most of it to yourself?
  • Drink beer at a barbeque and eat heaps of potato salad?
  • How about a giant piece of cake at a wedding, baby shower, or a birthday party?

You can still go out, have fun, and gather with your friends, but you may need to rethink your choices if your goal is to lose weight and be healthier.

Try these 3-tips:

  1. Take a 100 calorie bag of popcorn to the movies.
  2. Get some light beer and take it with you to the BBQ.
  3. Instead of having a giant mondo size piece of cake how about just a bit or two?

Try my 2 tablespoon rule.

Take a bite, if you absolutely have to indulge in it.  Now chew… 5 or 6 chews, for at least 10 or so seconds, before you let it go down.

Have a sip of water.

Still want more. Okay – have another bite. Chew. 5 or 6 chews for at least 10 seconds.

Have a sip of water

Your taste buds by now are happy. Mentally you don’t feel deprived. More than likely you weren’t starving so you can stop. And the best part is you limited the calories to 2-Tablespoons.

If your goal is to be healthy and lose weight ask yourself:  What would a healthy person do?  Watch them and I bet you’ll see that they take 2 or 3 bites, and they’re done, and so can you.

Push away from whatever it is that’s calling your name, you’ll save calories, and you’ll really feel like you had a huge success and control over those guilty pleasures.

Tip #17: Step into a Healthier Life.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

With winter here, it’s so easy, even for me, to go home, put on my warm snuggly clothes, turn on the TV or computer, sit on the sofa, and call the dog.  I’m done for the night.

So instead of going home and putting on your snuggly clothes, throw on your workout clothes. Even though it’s cold outside, you can bundle up, get out, get some exercise, and move. Then come back in and snuggle with your dog or the one you love.

So get out there, and exercise before you start to settle down for the night.

Tip #16: Vitamins and Weight Loss.

30 tips in 30 days. Get better health, and see better results.

Did you know that vitamins can help you shed some weight? It’s true.

According to the British Journal of Nutrition, they studied some overweight women and found that if they added 13mg of calcium as a vitamin to their diet every day, they lost 13 more pounds in 15 weeks, than women who were taking a placebo.

The calcium helps you feel fuller, so you don’t overeat. So think about adding vitamins and some calcium to your daily diet regime.
