Are you curious as to how superstar models and top actors and actresses are able to shed those unwanted pounds so quickly? Think about it, one month they put on 20 extra pounds for a leading role in some movie and then 2 months later, they are back to their normal weight. Here are seven secrets to weight loss success that their trainers hope you never figure out.
1. When a celebrity sits down with a trainer, the first thing that trainer does is remove from their diet the foods most hate to give up. It starts with the high fat luncheon meats. From their all fried foods and red meats are strictly prohibited. Why? Because these trainers know that to experience immediate weight loss results, their clients must eat more fruits and vegetables. Is it fun? Not really but if you want the results they get, you’ll have to do what they do.
2. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Listen, I know this may not be the most exciting secret but I have one question for you. Do you do this? If not, start today and you will be stunned at the results. Water provides your body the needed fuel to safely burn more calories with much less effort.
3. Decrease your portion size. This is probably something you’ve joked about with friends but never really thought about. Have you ever noticed that if you go to a high priced fancy restaurant, they put less food on your plate than if you went down the street to the waffle house? Portion control is huge in weight loss. Another missing link in the weight loss game is how you eat. When eating you should take your time and focus on chewing each mouthful a minimum of 32 bites. The more you are able to chew your food, the easier it is for your stomach to break it down and burn it off.
4.No snacking. Are you one of those people who like to snack at midnight or in between meals? You need to stop snacking in between meals. If you cannot stop snacking then you need to choose something small and healthy like half of an apple and a bottle of water.
5. Get moving! Physical activity is essential in your weight loss routine. Dance, walk, or do housework. Whatever it takes and whatever you are able to do, begin it now. Exercise helps open up your air ways, arteries and blood vessels. Do you now understand why a star would hire a trainer to yell at them and tell them what to do even though they make more money? It’s simple really. Bottom line, results.
6.Stars never shop for groceries when they are hungry. When you go to the grocery store when you are hungry then you buy more food and you also buy what looks good to you rather than what is good for you. If you want to lose weight then you also must shop smart also.
7.The final secret to losing weight is commitment. You must be able to fully commit to all of these steps in losing weight on a daily basis. If you are entirely committed you will watch the pounds shed off of your body and you will be healthier too.
If you are over ready for a change then it’s time you went from being motivated to taking some action. By now you know exactly what you need to do. However, knowing is one thing and doing is another. The power is in the doing of the thing not the knowing. Listen, you can know you should eat but if you never eat, you will starve to death even in the face of a buffet. Get up, get started and get to it.
