How to lose weight in a healthy way?

I'm dieting too, and basically I just exercise regularly (for any amount of time- it adds up! ) And I count calories. Don't starve yourself here, or your bdoy will hold on to it's fat more, and then when you get back to your normal eating habits, your body will store more fat in preparation for further starvation. I just eat lots of low-calorie snacks and meals, such as celery, carrots or apples, and try to drink skim milk and water. Also, when you go grocery shopping, compare calories and grams of fat, sugars and salts between packaged products Hope this helps :)

1 Dietary Balance and reading labels: watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. This involves some calculation. Eat less and eat at least five meals a day. Your actual caloric requirement can differ depending on your height, weight, activity level and your body's metabolic rate. 2 Identify your exercise. No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationary. Find the one that works best for you. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like and won’t stick with it for long. 3 Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can’t go into a full lecture about yoga over here but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist. 4 Photos and Joining online support group : Take before and after photos. There’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. It’s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends helps as they know things that you couldn’t possibly know, and they’ve probably been “in your shoes” at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find one that fits you. 5 Water you waiting for If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation – quench it. If you’re not hydrated, your body won’t be working at peak levels. If you’re worried about “water weight,” remember that you’re likely to retain more water when you’re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. I’m not going to dictate how many glasses you should drink, though – as that’s going to vary from person to person. 6 Zone out. There’s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music – listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity making “exercise time” fly or situate yourself in front of TV or video games involving exercises. 7 Dance Out Do Salsa,tango, swing ,hip-hop dancing etc. Anyone can do it,keep in mind you are dancing to increase your physical activity, so there is no pressure on how well you perform dance. Who knows you might even learn a cool dance move or two 8 Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, If you think that you’re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you’re mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important. 9 Keep a food diary. All you have to do is jot down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook, or you can do it online at a Web site . A food diary gives a clear picture of your current eating habits so you can identify the changes you need to make to lose weight. 10 Be motivated.You need to believe in yourself!. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. When you have thought of giving up, visualize how good you will look when you manage to slim down successfully.

Well was a high school wrestler and i was taught ways to maintain a healthy weight while gradually gaining some muscle without any extreme diets. What you should do is work on less foods that contain alot of grease but don't change your diet too much because your body won't work if its missing what its used to absorbing. Second step is to try jogging, its the best source of exercise there is, it keeps your body digestive system moving so any fat you take in will move easier through your body and it uses almost every muscle in your body. If you wanna gain some more muscle in your arms then you can bring 5-10 pound weights with you and do it for about 20 min's once a day. Key advise if your into music get something that bumps you up and just listen while your jog. Ive ran twice as long keeping my mind focused what i need to do without anguish. Last but not least because i know this is kinda long...confidence is key. Good Luck!
