How to lose weight if it's scary to even start?

“I just woke up one morning and realized that I never want to feel the way I do now, and I have changed,” these were the thoughts that Fred Lechuga had one morning. A new position in life and a few simple installations helped him lose 68 kg and maintain a new weight. Fred shares his experience on how to take on yourself and start losing weight even when it’s scary to think about it.

On the pages of his site Fat2fitfred, Fred posts tips to help you lose weight. At least, they helped him lose half a centner of excess weight.

1. Cook lunch at home

What prevents weight loss: A quick lunch at a cafe is unnecessary calories. When you choose what to dine on, the choice is influenced by the name, appearance and, perhaps, smell, but not the benefits or calories.

What helps: It doesn't take long to prepare lunch - you can easily do it in the evening. At home, you can pick up the best food, cook something that is not only tasty, but also healthy. The diet can be anything you want - a lot of vegetables and fruits, meat, fish, chicken, nuts, whatever you want. Just do not lean on foods with an abundance of carbohydrates, sugar and sodium.

2. I see the goal, I see no obstacles

What prevents weight loss: There is no clear training plan. Many are going to run or go to the gym, or even do it once or twice a year. The effect is obvious - it just doesn't exist.

You can forget about spontaneity. To go to workout, you need to firmly decide to do it, and in order to walk regularly, make a well-thought-out plan.

What helps: Create a flexible workout schedule that suits you. You can train at home or in the gym, set aside convenient days and hours for sports. Consider your biorhythms (owl or lark), fatigue after work, household chores.

For example, you might set aside three days a week for sports and alternate between your workouts. If you take turns running, weightlifting or swimming, it takes a little time and all muscle groups are trained.

3. More goals - more results

What prevents you from losing weight: When a person does not have a specific goal, he loses his aspiration. If there is no result in front of your eyes, it is almost impossible to force yourself to continue.

What helps: First - a global goal, then - many small ones. For example, you set yourself a goal - to lose 60 kg. After that, break it down into many small ones - lose weight by 2 kg in a week, keep them, train three times a week, etc.

Small goals are a reason not to quit training and dieting. Before you congratulate yourself on great success, you can celebrate small victories every week.

If you celebrate your achievements, the desire does not disappear, on the contrary, excitement appears.

These simple tips will help you get started - no extra effort, no rush, and no heartbeat training. Fred, who has lost weight, says that sports should be real pleasure, and plans and goals just help you get off the couch and go on a "journey to a great figure."

"Why am I losing weight so slowly?" - how to lose weight and maintain the result
