If you are overweight or obese - at least 20% higher than necessary - you may have serious health problems. There are steps you can take to lose weight and achieve a healthy weight for you.
Set Reachable Goals
The purpose of losing too much weight can be overwhelming. Try to set smaller and more manageable targets for weight loss. Instead of trying to lose 15 pounds [15 kg], reach out for 5 pounds [5 kg]. When you reach that goal, go for another five pounds [5 kg] and so forth until you reach your target weight.
Small Successes
The loss of only 5-10% of your weight through more physical activity and a healthier diet can lead to significant health benefits. If you now weigh 100kg, the loss of 5-10% of your weight means you will lose about 13-25kg. Loss of this weight can reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke. You can also have more energy, feel less tired and have less physical pain.
Slow and Lasting
Extreme diets and excessive exercise usually do not lead to steady weight loss. They are very difficult to save in the long run. People who lose weight and carry it usually have slow, steady weight loss. Change your eating habits slowly, and increase your physical activity. Don't expect to lose extra weight too soon. Health experts recommend losing about two pounds [2 kg] a week to most adults.
Celebrate the Highlights
Losing weight 5-10% is good for your health, but it may not be enough. You may have a negative image of your body or may feel uncomfortable with it. Maybe you're focused on the number and it's not exactly where you want to be. Creating a positive environment to stay motivated for weight loss can be difficult. The celebration of historical moments along the way can help.
When you reach the first loss of five pounds [5 kg], for example, reward yourself with a massage, go watch a movie, enjoy a trip, or find other ways without calories to celebrate your arrival. You can reward yourself with points of weight loss that show that you are improving your overall health.
