Weight Loss Tips 461 through 470

Weight Loss Tip #461

Ankle weights strengthen leg muscles and aid in weight loss.  Ankle weights are also very inexpensive. When walking, strap them on for impressive results.  

Small weights have also shown in studies to improve health, balance and performance in the elderly.  Lifting weight strengthens muscles, thus strengthens bones.  Strong bones are less fragile, and less likely to experience a break.

Weight Loss Tip #462

Defining Weight Values for Weight Loss - Lift a five-pound bag of potatoes to see how much weight that will equal off your body.  It's actually quite a lot!  And if you are a shorty, losing five pounds can make a dramatic difference in your appearance.

Weight Loss Tip #463

Include some of your favorite foods in your diet plan. Be sure and allow for the calories in your daily total. It's important to reward yourself from time-to-time so you'll stay on track. Remember, it's a balance of quantity and food selection. Being too stringent influences your mental outlook during diet time.

If you want a cupcake, then you CAN have a cupcake; just be sure and adjust your daily food intake accordingly to allow for the extra calories. Just about all packaged cupcakes and rolls contain approximately 200 calories each. If you're sick of morning oatmeal, then go ahead and have a cupcake.

Weight Loss Tip #464

Liver in the Diet - Healthy or Not? - Beef Liver is an unbeatable nutrition source for Vitamins A, B-12 and riboflavin and is rich in zinc and iron. Unfortunately, liver acts as a filter and collects hormones, chemicals and medicines that are fed to the animal throughout its life.  If you have been advised by your doctor to lower your cholesterol through diet, you should avoid liver as it is a major storehouse for cholesterol.  In addition, individuals who suffer from gout should avoid liver due to the high amount of purines which can trigger an attack of gout.

Weight Loss Tip #465

Before going on any diet, it's a good idea to visit your doctor.  Many times, weight gain can be attributed to specific diseases - such as diabetes or thyroid which are just two examples of health disorders that attribute to weight gain.

Weight Loss Tip #466

Watch those beverage calories.  Sometimes, simply cutting out the beverage calories is enough to accomplish weight loss success.  A particularly high-in-calorie common daily beverage is iced tea. If you are a sweet tea lover, then sweeten lightly or sweeten with Splenda or another no calorie sweetener.

Weight Loss Tip #467

Ix-nay on alcoholic beverages which tend to be high in calories.

As examples: Wine contains about 200 calories per cup for most varieties; a jigger of vodka or whiskey will cost you about 100 calories.

Weight Loss Tip #468

Resist Fried Foods for Weight Loss - Hide from fried!  Fried foods are extremely fatty, as one would imagine, and they do some very bad things to the old ticker.  Instead of fried, enjoy vegetables steamed, and meats, roasted, baked, broiled or grilled.

Weight Loss Tip #469

Suckers for Weight Loss - For a sugar fix that contains minimal calories, yet lasts an ultra long time, enjoy a sucker. Suckers not only contain minimal calories (generally 20-80 calories each depending upon the brand of sucker and the size of the sucker), they also come in many different flavors, sizes and textures.

Weight Loss Tip #470

Calories in Egg Whites - Egg whites contain about 17 calories and make a lovely choice for dieters as well as for anyone keeping track of the healthy beat of their heart.
