Let’s face it – losing weight has not historically been a fun-packed activity. There have been an abundance of fad diets, where we have all ended up suffering with terrible headaches, diarrhea, bad tummy cramps, and lethargy. There have been the cutting-out-calorie diets where we have ended up feeling like we wanted to gnaw on anything we came into contact with. Liberally sprinkled in-between were the cabbage soup diet, the healthy cookie diet, and the perfectly planned meal diet. And where has all the agony got us? The statistics say probably nowhere; most of us lifelong dieters are still overweight.

The only healthy way to lose weight and keep it off is to eat nutritionally balanced meals and exercise moderately and often. If you are at the end of your rope with yo-yo dieting, here are some doable and healthy solutions:

Eat More Often

Yes, you read this correctly! One of the main reasons people fail to lose weight on diets is that their metabolisms are always in a tailspin. If your body functions without food for large periods of time, it goes into a kind of starvation mode. This means that any food you later consume will be stored around your midsection in case of future famine. This feast/famine cycle can add pounds to your scale reading, even though you might not think you are eating a substantial amount. Divide the traditional three meals in half, and space the six meals 2-3 hours apart. Your metabolism will be working at a constant rate, and you will see those pounds evaporate.

Reduce Your Stress

When your body is under stress, it produces a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol accelerates fat build up and propagates the storage of fat deeper into the cells and around the organs. Of course, less fat around your belly, thighs, and hips might be preferable to you, but the type of fat cortisol creates is infinitely harder to shift. Try to journal, make daily plans, and resolve issues that are causing you to panic and worry.

Exercise Regularly

Exercise has been known to be the Waterloo for many people who are trying to diet. It can be hard to find time in the day to hit the gym, but what is good to remember is that any exercise is better than no exercise. That means walking instead of taking the elevator, parking a little further from the mall, or changing the television channels manually instead of using the remote. All of these little calorie expenditures can add up to a serious decrease in bodyweight.

Set Your Goals

Most weight loss experts believe that it is safe to lose between 1-3lbs in any given week. Therefore, when you set your goals, you should strongly consider this. If you wanted to lose 60lbs for example, you might set short, medium, and long term goals using an average weight loss of 2lbs per week. You will reach your target in a healthy time and look and feel fantastic. Unrealistic goal setting is the downfall of many dieters, so make sure you do your research!

Eat Whole Foods

Whole foods are natural foods which generally come from the ground. Whole foods contain no nasty additives, no man-made trans fats, and no preservatives. Whole food is synonymous with healthy food. Whole foods are generally lower in cholesterol, lower in sugar, and don’t impact your waistline in the same way as processed alternatives. If you are able to find an organic option, this is better still, as it means that your food is officially free from pesticides, steroids, and hormones.

Weight loss can be an enjoyable and exciting journey. Remember to take before and after pictures to give you some added motivation when faced with that extra slice of dessert!

If you want to lose belly fat of your body to change your look without spending your hard earned money then you should consider this daily sequence of exercises which I follow on a regular basis.

With this daily sequence of exercises you can lose up to 200 calories every single day.

First one minute: Warm up your body. Do static jogging on one place without moving a single inch.

Second minute: Lie down on the mat and get you’re breathing back. Try to feel that you are losing your belly fat.

Third minute: Lie down again on ground and try to touch your left knee with your chest or breast with the help of your hand. However in this situation keep your lower part of your body touched on the ground and right leg should be straight.

Fourth minute: Repeat the third minute posture with the right knee. How ever in this situation your left leg should be straight.

Fifth Minute: Repeat the third minute exercise with both knees touching your chest or breast area of your body.

Sixth Minute: Again lie down on the mat and keep your both leg straight and touched with each other. Now, take a deep breath and hold. Now, try to lift your upper portion of your body at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees and hold on to that posture for 10 second and then slowly come down. Take a 10 second gap and do this again for 3 times.

Seventh minute: Stand up in straight position and try to touch your feet with your hand without bending your legs. Hold yourself for 10 seconds in this posture. Repeat this posture for 3 times.

Eighth minute: Jump for whole one minute with a rope.

Ninth and tenth minute: Relax. Hold your thoughts on feeling that now you have achieved your target of “lose belly fat”.

You may not feel the importance of the last posture on theoretical basis; however as per my experience this is as important as we put physical effort like exercises. This is because; we all have fluctuations in our energies from positive to negative within short span of time. Last two minutes of this daily routine will make you more positive about achieving your target.

One other very important factor in achieving your goal and doing the last two minute of exercise is the “law of attraction”. As per my own experience, this law is working for us beyond our conscious level without fail. This law states that whatever we want to achieve including this goal of fat loss, we can achieve, and the only requirement is to feel that we have already achieved our perfect body. Visualize yourself by doing the things after you have achieved your shape like you are now purchasing thinner pants for yourself and you are showing it to everyone, as well as feeling very happy about it. Write your goal in present tense and read it aloud for 5-10 times a day.

I can challenge you that within few weeks, you will feel the difference within yourself. It is my promise.
