Lose Weight for Free :A simple guide to losing weight without spending money... |
| Guess what? You can lose weight for free. No really, you can! The misconception that you need to spend lots of money in order to lose weight is fueled by the billion-dollar weight loss industry. Basically, there are a lot of companies that make A LOT of money off people who are just trying to get down to their natural, "healthy" weight. Put simply, you don't need to spend money on any of the pills, programs, or gadgets you see marketed all over the place. (Note: Not all weight loss products are "bad" - in fact, there are several effective diet and exercise programs that really do work. But the important thing to remember is that you don't need them. Anyone can lose weight for free simply by following the simple guidelines on this page!) The goal of lose-weight-for-free.com is to help people who don't want to blow large amounts of their hard-earned money on weight loss "solutions" that rarely provide real results. As you may know already, the vast majority of the products you see marketed on TV, on the radio, in magazines, etc. don't work. And, if they do work, the results they provide usually don't last. You may lose a few pounds at first but you'll soon gain them back (often with a few more to boot). It is entirely possible to lose weight for free. The only money you should really spend is on things which will improve your overall health, increase your energy levels, etc. Healthy whole foods and a good multivitamin supplement are two examples. You might also want to invest in a decent pair of running shoes and some workout clothes. These are things that you should have whether you're trying to lose weight or not. So how do you go about losing weight for free? The most important thing is to remember the basic rule of weight loss: In order to lose weight (body fat) you must "burn" more calories than you consume on a daily basis. How do you do this? Well, BY FAR the best way is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and to exercise at least 30 minutes per day, 5 or 6 days per week. This simple formula has been proven over and over again. People who are able to incorporate it into their lifestyles almost never have a problem staying slim and healthy. Here are some important tips for using this proven formula... A Healthy, Balanced Diet: 1. Avoid processed and refined foods - White bread, potatoes, twinkies and the like are the bane of overweight individuals, especially in America. 2. Avoid simple sugars - Daily consumption of refined sugar, corn syrup, honey, etc. make it very, very hard to lose weight. 3. Increase your intake of high-quality, lean protein - Having plenty of quality protein in your diet does all kinds of good things for speeding up weight loss and maintaining important muscle mass. Good protein sources include skinless chicken/turkey, lean cuts of beef, egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, and whey protein powder. 4. Decrease your intake of carbohydrates - Whether you believe the "low carb" diet hype or not, you probably need to decrease your carb intake. The best carbs to eat are vegetables, fruits, and whole-grains. Limit breads, cereals, and alcohol! 5. Drink LOTS of water - Water is one of the most effective (and cheapest) weight loss tools you have at your disposal. Try to drink 6-8 large glasses per day. Remember, if you want to lose weight for free you HAVE to eat the right foods and avoid the wrong ones! Plenty of Exercise: 1. Start walking or jogging - Fast-walking and jogging are two of the best forms of exercise for weight loss. And, best of all, they're free. 2. Forget the weights - You don't need weights or a weight machine to build fat-burning muscle tissue. Just do a few sets each of pushups, pullups, bodyweight squats, and crunches. Limit the amount of rest between sets to about a minute and you'll rev up your metabolism (your body's fat-burning mechanism) for several hours AFTER you finish working out. 3. Remember the "conversation rule" - If you can easily hold a conversation with another person while you're exercising, you're probably not in the "fat burning" zone. Increase the intensity of whatever type of exercise you're doing until it's at least a little difficult to hold a conversation with someone in the same room. After a couple weeks of regular exercise and healthy eating, you WILL see a positive change in your body. You'll be slimmer and you'll almost certainly feel better. The key is to use this change to motivate yourself to keep it up. If you can keep it up for about a month, you will have developed healthy habits that may last a lifetime. So there you have it.
