Almost everybody knows what to do to lose those excess pounds, but after a while they procrastinate with their diet or fitness program. If you have ever watched programs like Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz  or any of the other TV personalities talking about diet or fitness programs, you will know by now that you need to eat fibers, salmon and eat smaller portions and do regular exercise. Instead of trying all these different diets or programs that come along  but to start with a weight loss program that makes the most common sense. But you know what they say about common sense? It is not all that common.

I would suggest putting away the scale when you start with your new diet or weight loss program. Do you really need to weigh yourself before you start? Most people can guess pretty accurately what they weigh within one or two pounds. If you want to you can weigh yourself before you start with your brand new weight loss plan and then hide the scales for a couple of weeks. After those couple of weeks you can pull it out again and weigh yourself again, and repeating the same procedure afterwards. The reason for this is that most people get put off by the weight loss program if the do not  see immediate results. Unfortunately losing weight doesn’t go that fast as we always hope for. Waiting some time to weigh yourself again will give you more results if you have the patience to hold it off.

Another great weight loss trick is the “Three Day Rule” that states, you need to do a program for three days at a time. And there are several good reason for doing this. What is this three days rule? No matter what program you are doing right now you need to stick with it for three solid days. On the fourth day you can do something else even if you want to stay on it. Then continue the program for another three days, and so on. What this does is give you something to look forward to on the fourth day and it also tricks the body. When you diet you really don’t see the results until three to five days later. The way our metabolism works it takes that long to break down fat and build up lean muscle. That is why you can’t weigh yourself after every workout and why you should change up after three days.

Weight loss options that work can also make you very hungry so you need to have six mini meals throughout the day instead of three large ones. Portion control is important but the only way to keep from starving and going off the program is to eat continuously throughout the day. Carry Zone Bars or an apple with you at all times so that you can munch on something between small meals. Experts say that no portion of food should exceed the size of your closed fist.

Another one of the most popular weight loss options is to avoid three main weight gaining foods: sugar, oil, and butter. If you can go three days straight without putting any butter on your bread (switch to flatbread or pita bread) or frying up any foods you will definitely lose weight in the long run. If not putting sugar in your coffee makes it impossible to drink the java, then switch to tea with honey. Every little thing makes a difference when you are committed to losing weight.
