Tip #6: Water and Weight Loss.

30 Tips in 30 days. See better results, get better health.

There was a funny show, back in the day, called: Saturday Night Live, where the cook yells out; Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger. Fast forward to losing weight, and you’ll hear me yell out; water, water, water.

There is not a better morning routine that you can do than to add water at the start of your day, and here it is: brush your teeth, weigh yourself (optional), and have a glass of water.

How much water should you drink a day?

The rule of thumb will depend on your body weight. Start by taking your current weight, so let’s say you weigh 200 pounds, cut that in half, that’s 100. Now convert those hundred pounds to 100 ounces of water.

For a person who weighs 200 pounds, the ideal amount of water to drink in the course of your day would be 100 ounces.  I know this sounds like a lot of water, but as you gain better health, and shed pounds, your water intake is going to go down.

Bottom line: at the very least, drink 64 ounces of water, or decaffeinated drinks each day.

Stay away from adult beverages, like wine and beer while you’re in the weight loss phase.

Water, water, water.  Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.  You’ll think clearer, your skin will look better, and you’ll improve your overall health, not to mention, it will help keep your appetite down which can help you lose weight.

Tip #5: Monday Mornings and Weight Loss.

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

We’re going talk about what you do every Monday morning, or at the very least one day a week.

Get up and stretch and instead of going straight for that cup of coffee, go in and weigh and measure. It’s really a great way to start your week. It’s your litmus test, a good validation of your food choices and exercise from the past week, or maybe it’s a reset to help you get back on track. You want to wear as little as possible or nothing at all, and weigh yourself on the same scale.

I suggest that you keep a log to write down your weekly weight. I use a month at a glance wall calendar. Once a week I write down my weight. Just like you, I want be accountable, and there’s no better way than keeping a log of your weight and measurements.

Tip #4: Activity versus exercise.

30 Tips in 30 days. For better health, and see better results.

If you move all throughout the day, whether it’s deliberate or involuntary, like fidgeting or just tapping your foot, you are burning calories.

Whether you are in the gym working out vigorously, which is fantastic for overall health and your cardio health, you can still be active and burn calories. You might just want to fidget a little bit every day, burn some extra calories, and lose weight.

Tip #1: Holiday leftovers and weight loss.

TIP #1: Holiday leftovers.

30-Tips in 30-Days. Get better health, and see better results.

 What do you do with all those holiday leftovers, or big dinner leftovers?

My suggestion is go out and buy some of those very inexpensive plastic bowls like: Tupperware containers, and send your leftovers home with your guests. They’ll be happy, and you won’t have those temptations calling your name in the middle of the night.
