  1. The Proper Approach to Weight Loss Weight loss is one of the most sought after personal goals for people seeking to feel healthier. Unfortunately, only a minority of those looking to shed weight and keep it off are successful. Too often people set unrealistic weight lose goals and/or are uninformed about what the best approach is for weight reduction. There is, however, good news for those who in the past have been frustrated in their attempts to get leaner.

  2. The Proper Approach to Weight Loss Before taking any steps toward dropping pounds, it is always a good idea to consult your doctor. He or she will go over your medical health and set any possible restrictions on physical activities and/or dietary changes. Your physician will work with you in setting and reaching realistic goals. Most weight reduction experts feel that a reasonable goal is losing 5-10% of body weight. Thus, someone who currently weighs 180 pounds should strive to lose 9-18 pounds. And as you have probably heard before, it is far better to lose weight gradually (1-2 pounds a week) than it is to see erratic losses. One mistake that dieters frequently make is skipping meals. This is a bad idea as it causes the body's metabolism to slow down to conserve energy. It does this because it thinks it is starving. The goal of losing weight is to burn more calories than you consume. If your metabolism is slower, you burn less. On top of the physical problem with skipping meals, it makes dieters hungrier and more prone to binging during their next meal.

  4. The Proper Approach to Weight Loss Many people have found success with "grazing, " or eating several times during the day. Eating something every few hours, like a banana or an apple, will help fight hunger and make you less likely to eat a huge dinner. Another mistake for dieters is confusing thirst for hunger. Thirst actually has the same symptoms as hunger. Many people feel that they are hungry and eat something when all they really need is a glass of water. They key is to drink plenty of water before you become dehydrated. Water is also a way to prevent feeling bloated and is a better choice than sugary drinks. Drink at least 8 glasses each day. http://www.junobrooklyn.com/weight-melter-review/
