A weight-loss method that works for one person may not work for another.

Always pay attention to your body and do what feels appropriate to you.

If you're persistent, you can drop 20 pounds in 14 days, as my friend Margaret, who used to weigh more than 200 pounds, did.

She lost ten pounds in the first seven days of following these instructions. And I dropped 32 pounds in the same month!

Let’s get started.

# 1. BE CONSISTENT

You may spend all of your time trying to find the "perfect" food plan and training routine, but if you can't stick to it, you won't achieve the results you want.

Finding a weight-loss plan is only half the battle; adhering to it is the other half!

Once you've settled on a strategy, adhere to it in order to meet your goals.

Don't diet three days a week and then binge on the weekends.

Going to the gym every day for a month and then stopping doesn't help either.

Think carefully and methodically, and make changes only when you're confident you'll be able to keep them in the long run.

# 2. KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU EAT

To stay on track and maintain a healthy weight, it's essential to eat healthily. It's critical to think about not only what you're eating, but also how much you're ingesting.

Once you start tracking what you eat, it's simple to figure out where your calories are coming from.

It's tough to deceive yourself about what you're eating when you have the facts in front of you.

When you start tracking your meals, you'll be surprised at how easy it is to overeat. A few unexpected nibbles tossed in here and there, or a sweet treat because a coworker was in the mood to bake, may ruin your progress.

It's also critical to pay attention to serving sizes. Snacks, salad dressings, sauces, and even coffee creamers contain a lot of calories!

Serving sizes are usually smaller than you may think. You may accidentally ingest hundreds of extra calories if you assess a meal only on its looks. That is not acceptable!

# 3. STAY ACTIVE

Exercise not only helps with weight loss, but it also helps with heart health, mobility, strength, and even stress reduction.

Whether you're at the gym, chasing your kids, or cleaning the house, make sure you're moving.

If reducing weight is your primary goal, choose a programme that incorporates both strength training and cardio.

Strength training raises your metabolism by increasing the amount of lean muscle mass in your body. Meanwhile, exercise is the most powerful fat-burner and energy-booster on the market!

# 4. HAVE A STRATEGY

When it comes to weight loss, you must have a strategy. You are more likely to lose concentration and take longer to reach your goals if you do not have one.

You must find the approach that works best for you, just as you must find the ideal diet and activity for you.

Once a week cheat meals are an integral part of some people's healthy diets. They might not be able to stick to a healthy eating plan if they don't have this cheat meal. Some people may binge as a result of cheat meals. As a result, you'll need to come up with a strategy that works for you.

You might also want to experiment with a few different routines to determine which one you like best. Yoga, Zumba, weightlifting, running, and kickboxing are all excellent exercises.

Exercising at various times of the day is also beneficial. Many people find that if they try early exercises, they like them. I'm certain I do!

Consistency, as previously said, is critical. Continue to use the approach that has proven to be the most successful for you. Above all, keep the end objective in mind to stay motivated!

# 5. NEVER STOP IMPROVING

It's possible that what worked in the past will not work now. As your body changes, you may need to adjust your strategies.

We've all heard that consistency is essential for long-term success, but what good is consistency if you're not educated?

You can be very consistent with your weight loss plan, but if it's no longer working for you, it's time to make a change!

# 6. GET PROPER SLEEP

A lack of 5–6 hours of sleep each night has been linked to an increased risk of obesity in several studies. This is due to a variety of causes.

According to research, insufficient and poor-quality sleep decreases metabolism, the mechanism through which the body transforms calories into energy. If your metabolism slows, your body may store excess energy as fat. Furthermore, a lack of sleep can boost insulin and cortisol levels, both of which promote fat accumulation.

Sleep length and depth also impact the appetite-controlling hormones leptin and ghrelin. Ghrelin informs your brain that you are hungry, but leptin signals your brain that you are full.

If your leptin and ghrelin aren't operating properly, you'll always be hungry, and nothing you eat will ever satisfy you.

As a consequence, sleep more and better.
