You’ve heard all the hype, the gimmicks, the mystical ancient tricks that
are supposed to be your
shortcuts to lasting weight loss success… If only it were that easy, right?
The one thing we do know is that healthy, lasting weight loss doesn’t happen
overnight, but it is
something you can have if you follow the right plan. However you decide to
begin your weight loss
journey, take a moment to read the tips below and keep them in mind along the
way.
1 DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS
Did you know that 74% of adults are dehydrated? This can slow metabolism 3–5%,
and keep the pounds on. Another reason to drink plenty of fluids is that 37% of
people can confuse thirst as hunger. So drink plenty of fluids, including
Neuro™, and you’ll have healthy energy and help your body flush out toxins,
feel fuller, and help your
metabolism too.
2 EAT PROTEIN
Protein is a key way to help keep blood sugars level, and keep you from getting
hungry. But not
all protein is created equal. The Tri-Sorb™ protein in ViSalus products were
specially designed to help you retain and build lean muscle, and burn fat.
Other brands use gelatin, milk powder, or other proteins that may be great for
skin or hair or nails, but won’t help you burn fat or boost muscle like
ViSalus.
3 EAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Did you know that 83% of adults don’t eat enough fruit every day, and 72% don’t
get enough
vegetables? These are critical to losing weight as they fill you up, provide
healthy antioxidants and fiber, and are low in calories. You can ‘eat more’ and
weigh less by adding fruits and
vegetables to your diet.
4 AVOID THE COLOR BEIGE
Did you know that beige foods tend to be high in carbohydrates and calories,
but low in nutrition? Bread, rice, and pasta may taste great, but they can add
up to more calories, and more fat. One cup of refried beans can be 500
calories! You could eat almost 10 servings of fruits and
vegetables, and still not reach 500 calories. So avoid beige, add color to your
plate and you’ll lose weight.
5 GET SOME SLEEP!
Too little sleep, and your body won’t function and you’ll gain and retain
weight. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but 68% of us don’t get 8 hours of sleep per night,
and almost the same percent is overweight. Sleep, and your body will de-stress,
de-tox, and retain less cortisol to
make you gain weight.
6 PORTION SIZES COUNT
The average plate of food is 2–3 times larger in size and calories than just 30
years ago. Did you know that a serving size of protein is the same size as your
computer mouse? Two cups of mixed greens should be about the size of two
baseballs. A serving of fruit the size of a tennis ball. A serving of butter or cheese the size of a
dice. Little tricks can help you keep portions under control, and help you lose
weight.
7 EXERCISE!!!
The best way to boost metabolism, boost mood, and boost weight loss is to
exercise. Simple tricks go for a 10 minute walk, 3 times a day can help you
lose weight, build muscle, and look better. And Remember… It’s the inches—not
the pounds. Many people look to lose pounds, but that can be misleading. Did
you know that 1 lb. of fat is the size of a large grapefruit? 1 lb. of lean
muscle the size of a small tangerine. By boosting exercise you’ll lose inches, but
may not lose pounds. But this is good, as muscle burns more calories and can
help keep you healthier.
So don’t focus on the scale, focus on how your clothes fit. That’s’ the true
test of weight loss.
